Oh, worship the King all-glorious above

Hymnal: BW1870 #5 (1870) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Oh, worship the King all-glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilion'd in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 Oh, tell of His might, and sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Oh, join ye the anthems of triumph that rise

Hymnal: BW1870 #10 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Oh, join ye the anthems of triumph that rise From the throng of the blest, from the hosts of the skies; Alleluia, thy sing, in rapturous strains, Alleluia, the Lord God omnipotent reigns! 2 He gave to the light its beneficent wings; He controlleth the councils of senates and kings; From His throne in the clouds the lightnings are hurled, And He ruleth the factions that rage through the world. 3 Rejoice, ye that love Him; His power cannot fail, His omnipotent goodness shall surely prevail; The triumph of evil will shortly be passed, The omnipotent King shall conquer at last.

Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams

Hymnal: BW1870 #126 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams Our Saviour at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams Shone bright on thy waters, would frequently stray, And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day. 2 How damp were the vapors that fell on His head! How hard was His pillow! how humble His bed! The angels, astonish'd, grew sad at the sight, And follow'd their Master with solemn delight. 3 O garden of Olives, thou dear honor'd spot, The fame of thy wonders shall ne'er be forgot; The theme most transporting to seraphs above; The triumph of sorrow--the triumph of love. 4 Come, saints, and adore Him; come, bow at His feet, Oh, give Him the glory, the praise that is meet; Let joyful hosannas unceasingly rise, And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.

O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave

Hymnal: BW1870 #226 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave, Whom no man can comfort, whom no man can save; With darkness surrounded, by terrors dismay'd, In toiling and rowing, thy strength is decay'd. 2 Loud roaring, the billows now nigh o’erwhelm, But skilful’s the Pilot who sits at the helm; His wisdom conducts thee, His power thee defends; In safety and quiet thy warfare He ends. 3 "O fearful! O faithless!" in mercy He cries; “My promise, my truth, are they small in thine eyes? Still, still I am with thee, my promise shall stand; Through tempest and tossing I’ll bring thee to land."

Hymnal: BW1870 #290 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near; The waters of life are now flowing for thee! No price is demanded, the Saviour is here, Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is open'd, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not; O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not; the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night.

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Hymnal: BW1870 #363 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word! What more can He say than to you He has said, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? 2 "In ev'ry condition--in sickness, in health, In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth, At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be. 3 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismay'd; For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 4 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 5 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 6 "E'en down to old age, all My people shall prove My sov'reign, eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 7 "The soul that on Jesus hath lean'd for repose, I will not, I cannot desert to his foes: That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake!"

O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!

Hymnal: BW1870 #373 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of His countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that His presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round: They bear me away in His presence to be: I see Him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; I shall know how His love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away.

I would not live alway: I ask not to stay

Hymnal: BW1870 #471 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway: I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway, thus fetter'd by sin, Temptation without and corruption within: E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of salvation with penitent tears. 3 I would not live alway; no--welcome the tomb: Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom: There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God; Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? 5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren, transported to greet: While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.

The things of the earth in the earth let us lay

Hymnal: BW1870 #557 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 The things of the earth in the earth let us lay, The ashes with ashes, the dust with the clay; But lift up the heart, and the eye, and the love, Oh, lift up the soul to the regions above. 2 Since He, the Immortal, hath entered the gate, So, too, shall we mortals, or sooner or late; Then stand we on Christ; let us mark Him ascend, For His is the glory and life without end. 3 On earth with His own ones, the Giver of good, Bestowing His blessing, a little while stood: Now nothing can part us, nor distance, nor foes, For lo! He is with us, and who can oppose? 4 So, Lord, we commit this our brother to Thee, Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free; We know that through grace, when our life here is done, We live still in Thee, and forever in one. 5 All glory to Thee, Father, Spirit, and Son, Who three art in person, in substance but one, In whom we have victory over the grave, Who lovest Thy people to pardon and save.
