The race that long in darkness pin'd

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R19a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The race that long in darkness pin'd, have seen a glorious light; the people dwell in day, who dwelt in death’s surrounding night. 2 To hail thy rise, thou better Sun! the gath’ring nations come, joyous, as when the reapers bear the harvest treasures home. 3 For thou our burden hast remov’d, and quell'd th’ oppressor’s sway, quick as the slaughter'd squadrons fell in Midian’s evil day. 4 To us a Child of hope is born; to us a Son is giv’n, him shall the tribes of earth obey, him all the hosts of heav’n. 5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace, for evermore ador'd, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the great and mighty Lord. 6 His pow’r increasing still shall spread, his reign no end shall know; justice shall guard his throne above, and peace abound below. Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-8 Languages: English Tune Title: PETERBOROUGH (HARRISON)

O thou that dwellest in the heavens

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P123 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O thou that dwellest in the heavens, I lift mine eyes to thee. 2 Behold, as servants’ eyes are turned their masters’ hand to see, and as upon her mistress' hand a handmaid’s eyes attend, our eyes are on the Lord our God, till he us mercy send. 3 O Lord, be gracious to us, unto us gracious be; because replenished with contempt exceedingly are we. 4 Our soul is filled with scorn of those that at their ease abide, and with the insolent contempt of those that swell in pride. Scripture: Psalm 88 Languages: English Tune Title: PETERBOROUGH (HARRISON)

Once More, My Soul, the Rising Day

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5201 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Once more, my soul, the rising day Salutes thy waking eyes; Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay To Him that rules the skies. 2. Night unto night His name repeats, The day renews the sound, Wide as the Heav’n on which He sits, To turn the seasons round. 3. ’Tis He supports my mortal frame, My tongue shall speak His praise; My sins would rouse His wrath to flame, And yet His wrath delays. 4. On a poor worm Thy power might tread, And I could ne’er withstand; Thy justice might have crushed me dead, But mercy held Thine hand. 5. A thousand wretched souls are fled Since the last setting sun, And yet Thou length’nest out my thread, And yet my moments run. 6. Dear God, let all my hours be Thine, Whilst I enjoy the light; Then shall my sun in smiles decline, And bring a pleasing night. Languages: English Tune Title: PETERBOROUGH (Harrison)

Rise, O my soul, pursue the path By ancient worthies trod; Aspiring, view those holy men Who lived and walked with God. 2. Though dead, they speak in reason’s ear, And in example live; Their faith, and hope, and mighty deeds Still fresh instruction give. 3. ’Twas through the Lamb’s most precious blood They conquered every foe; And to His power and matchless grace Their crowns of life they owe. 4. Lord, May I ever keep in view The patterns Thou hast given And ne’er forsake the blessèd road That led them safe to Heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: PETERBOROUGH (Harrison)

Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav’ns; Thy truth doth reach the clouds; Thy justice is like mountains great; Thy judgments deep as floods. 2.

They with the fatness of Thy house Shall be well satisfied; From rivers of Thy pleasure Thou Wilt drink to them provide. 4. Because of life the fountain pure Remains alone with Thee; And in that purest light of Thine We clearly light shall see. Languages: English Tune Title: PETERBOROUGH (Harrison)

What Wisdom, Majesty and Grace

Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7307 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. What wisdom, majesty and grace Through all the Gospel shine! ’Tis God that speaks, and we confess The doctrine most divine. 2. Down from His starry throne on high, Th’almighty Savior comes; Lays His bright robes of glory by, And feeble flesh assumes. 3. The mighty debt that sinners owed, Upon the cross He pays; Then through the clouds ascends to God, ’Midst shouts of loftiest praise. 4. There He, our great high priest, appears, Before His Father’s throne; Mingles His merits with our tears, And pours salvation down. Languages: English Tune Title: PETERBOROUGH (Harrison)
