Author of our salvation, thee

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #494 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Author of our salvation, thee With lowly, thankful hearts we praise; Author of this great mystery-- Figure and means of saving grace. 2 The sacred, true, effectual sign, Thy body and thy blood it shows; The glorious instrument divine, Thy mercy and thy strength bestows. 3 We see the blood that seals our peace; Thy pard'ning mercy we receive; The bread doth visibly express The strength through which our spirits live. 4 Our spirits drink a fresh supply, And eat the bread so freely given, Till, borne on eagles' wings, we fly And banquet with our Lord in heaven.

See how the shades of death advance, Ere half the task of life is done. 2 Soon will he close our drowsy eyes, Nor shall we hear these warnings more; Soon will the mighty Judge approach: E'en now he stands before the door! 3 O Saviour! let these awful scenes Be ever present to our view; Teach us to gird our loins about, And trim our dying lamps anew. 4 Then, when the king of terror comes, Our souls shall hail the happy day. Haste, then, O Saviour! from above, Nor let thy chariot-wheels delay! Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings ; Trim the Lamps

Awake, our souls! away, our fears!

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #655 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears! Let every trembling thought be done; Awake, and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, Who feeds the strength of every saint. 3 The mighty god, whose matchless power Is ever new, and ever young, And firm endures while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a full supply; While such as trust their native strength, Shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amid the heavenly road.

Awaked by Sinai's awful sound

Author: Ockum Hymnal: VoP1873 #439 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Awaked by Sinai's awful sound, My soul in guilt and thrall I found, Exposed to endless woe; Eternal truth did loud proclaim The sinner must be born again, Or else to ruin go. 2 Amazed I stood, but could not tell Which way to shun the gates of hell; For death and hell drew near. I strove, indeed, but strove in vain-- The sinner must be born again, Still sounded in my ear. 3 The saints I heard, with rapture tell, How Jesus conquered death and hell, And broke the fowler's snare; Yet when I found this truth remain-- The sinner must be born again-- I sunk in deep despair. 4 But while I thus in anguish lay, Jesus of Naz'reth passed that way-- I felt his pity move; The sinner, by his justice slain, Now, by his grace, is born again, And sings redeeming love.
