Hymnal: HSHM1799 #LXXVI (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: He who on earth as man was known Lyrics: 1 He who on earth as man was known, And bore our sins and pains; Now, seated on th' eternal throne, The God of glory reigns. 2 His hands the wheels of nature guide With an unerring skill; and countless worlds extended wide, Obey his sov'reign will. 3 While harps unnumber'd sound his praise, In yonder world above; His saints on earth admire his ways, And glory in his love. 4 His righteousness to faith reveal'd, Wrought out for guilty worms; Affords a hiding-place and shield, From enemies and storms. 5 When troubles like a burning sun, Beat heavy on their head; to this high rock his people run, And find a pleasing shade. 6 How glorious he! how happy they In such a glorious friend! Whose love secures them all the way, And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ The refuge of the church; Christ The refuge of the church Languages: English

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CLXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How am I held a pris'ner now Lyrics: Part I 1 How am I held a pris'ner now, Far from my God! this mortal chain Binds me to sorrow: all below Is short-liv'd ease, or tiresome pain. 2 When shall that wond'rous hour appear, Which frees me from this dark abode, To live at large in regions where Nor cloud nor vail shall hide my God? 3 Farewell this flesh, these ears, these eyes, These snares and fetters of the mind; My God! nor let this frame arise, Till ev'ry dust be will refin'd. 4 Blest Jesus! make my nature whole, Mould me a body like thy own, Then shall it better serve my soul, In works of praise and worlds unknown. Part II 5 Absent from flesh! O blissful thought! What unknown joys this moment brings! Freed from the mischief sin hath wrought, From pains and tears and all their springs. 6 Absent from flesh! illustrious day! Surprising scene! triumphant stroe! That rends the prison of my clay, And I can feel my fetters broke. 7 Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul! Where feet or wings could never climb, Beyond the heav'ns where planets roll, Measuring the cares and joys of time. 8 I go where God and glory shine; His presence makes eternal day: My all that's mortal I resign, For Jesus waits and points the way Part III 9 And is this heav'n? and am I there? How short the road, how swift the fligt! I am all life, all eye, all ear; Jesus is here--my soul's delight. 10 Is this the heav'nly friend who hung In blood and anguish on the tree, Whom Paul proclaim'd, whom David sung, Who dy'd for them, who dy'd for me? 11 Lo! he presents me at the throne All spotless; there the Godhead reigns Sublime and peaceful through the Son: Awake, my voice in heav'nly strains. 12 How fair thou blest, eternal word! Full Godhead shines through all thy face! Thy death procur'd this blest abode, Thy vital beams adorn the place! Part IV 13 Creator God, eternal light, Fountain of good, tremendous pow'r, Ocean of wonders, blissful sight, Beauty and love unknown before! 14 Thy grace, thy nature, all unknown In yon dark region whence I came, Where languid glimpses from thy throne, And feeble whispers taught thy name. 15 I'm in a world where all is new; Myself, my God, O blest amaze! Not my best hopes or wishes knew To form a shadow of this grace. 16 Fix'd on my God my heart adore, My restless thoughts forbear to rove, Ye meaner passions stir no more, But all my pow'rs be joy and love.
