None is like Jeshurun's God
Let The World Lament Their Dead
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the world lament their dead,
As sorrowing without hope;
When a friend of ours is freed,
We cheerfully look up,
Cannot murmur or complain,
For our dead we cannot grieve,
Death to them, to us, is gain;
In Jesus we believe.
2 We believe that Christ our head
For us resigned His breath,
He was numbered with the dead,
And dying conquered death;
Burst the barriers of the tomb:
Death could Him no longer keep,
He is the first-fruits become
Of those in Him that sleep.
3 God, who Him to life restored,
Shall all His members raise,
Bring them quickened with their Lord,
The children of His grace.
We who then on earth remain,
Shall not sooner be brought home;
All the dead shall rise again
To meet the general doom.
4 Jesus, faithful to His word,
Shall with a shout descend;
All Heaven’s host their glorious Lord
Shall pompously attend;
Christ shall come with dreadful noise,
Lightnings swift, and thunders loud,
With the great archangel’s voice,
And with the trump of God.
5 First the dead in Christ shall rise;
Then we who yet remain
Shall be caught up to the skies,
And see our Lord again;
We shall meet Him in the air,
All rapt up to Heaven shall be,
See, and love, and praise Him there
To all eternity.
6 Who can tell the happiness
This glorious hope affords!
Joy unuttered we possess
In these reviving words:
Happy while on earth we breathe,
Mightier bliss ordained to know,
Trampling upon sin and death,
To the third Heaven we go. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1742
Let The World Lament Their Dead
Father, God, We Glorify
Author: Charles Wesley; John Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father, God, we glorify
Thy love to Adam’s seed;
Love that gave Thy Son to die,
And raised Him from the dead:
Him, for our offenses slain,
That we all might pardon find,
Thou hast brought to life again,
The Savior of mankind.
2. By Thy own right hand of power
Thou hast exalted Him,
Sent the mighty Conqueror
Thy people to redeem:
King of saints, and Prince of Peace,
Him Thou hast for sinners giv’n,
Sinners from their sins to bless,
And lift them up to Heav’n.
3. Father, God, to us impart
The gift unspeakable;
Now in every waiting heart
Thy glorious Son reveal:
Quickened with our living Lord,
Let us in Thy Spirit rise,
Rise to all Thy life restored,
And bless Thee in the skies. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns for Ascension, by John and Charles Wesley, 1746
Father, God, We Glorify
Hearken to the Solemn Voice
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hearken to the solemn voice,
the awful midnight cry;
Waiting souls, rejoice, rejoice,
and see the Bridegroom nigh;
Lo! He comes to keep His Word,
light and joy His looks impart;
Go ye forth to meet your Lord, and meet Him in your heart.
2. Ye who faint beneath the load
of sin, your heads lift up;
See your great redeeming God,
He comes, and bids you hope:
In the midnight of your grief,
Jesus doth His mourners cheer;
Lo! He brings you sure relief;
believe, and feel Him here.
3. Ye whose loins are girt, stand forth!
Whose lamps are burning bright,
Worthy, in your Savior’s worth,
to walk with Him in white:
Jesus bids your hearts be clean,
bids you all His promise prove;
Jesus comes to cast out sin,
and perfect you in love.
4. Wait we all in patient hope,
till Christ, the Judge, shall come,
We shall soon be all caught up
to meet the general doom:
In an hour to us unknown,
as a thief in deepest night,
Christ shall suddenly come down,
with all His saints in light.
5. Happy he whom Christ shall find
watching to see Him come;
Him the Judge of all mankind
shall bear triumphant home:
Who can answer to His Word?
Which of you dares meet His day?
Rise, and come to judgment!—Lord,
we rise, and come away. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1742

Jesus Leaves His Throne On High
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
1 Jesus leaves His throne on high,
To save a ruined race;
Lo, He condescends to die,
And take the sinner’s place:
In deep slumbers see Him borne
To the tomb, but soon He wakes;
On the third, the glorious morn,
Death’s iron bands He breaks.
2 Soldiers at the entry stand,
The sacred place to guard;
But behold, the time’s at hand,
The tomb must be unbarred:
Angels roll the stone away,
While the watchers’ eyes are sealed,
Death reluctant yields his prey,
And Jesus stands revealed.
3 Raise, ye saints, your joyful eyes,
The victory is yours;
Jesus now above the skies,
Your endless bliss secures:
He the first-fruits from the grave,
Gives a pledge of all to come:
Trust in Him, whose power to save
Shall bring you safely home.
