Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CCXV (1791) Person Name: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sov'reign die? Wou'd he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groan'd upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in; When Christ the mighty Maker dy'd, For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love we owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: PHBD1791 #HXXVII (1791) Person Name: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill, That bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal! 2 How charming is their voice, How sweet the tidings are! "Zion behold thy Saviour King, "He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light; Prophets and kings desired it long, But dy'd without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And desarts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Through all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Hosannah to Jesus on high!

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CLXXXV (1791) Person Name: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Lyrics: 1 Hosannah to Jesus on high! Another has enter'd on high! Another is 'scap'd to the sky, And lodg'd in Immanuel's breast; The soul of our sister is gone To heighten the triumph above, Exalted to Jesus's throne, And clasp'd in the arms of his love. 2 What fulness of rapture is there, While Jesus his glory displays, And purples the heavenly air, And scatters the odours of grace? He looks - and his servants in light The blessing ineffable meet; He smiles - and they faint at his sight, And fall overwhelm'd at his feet. 3 How happy the angels that fall, Transported at Jesus's name; The saints whom he soonest shall call To share in the feast of the Lamb! No longer imprison'd in clay, Who next from this dungeon shall fly, Who first shall be summon'd away — Be merciful God - Is it I? 4 O Jesus, if this be thy will, That suddenly I should depart, Thy counsel of mercy reveal And whisper the call to my heart; O give me a signal to know, If soon thou wouldst have me remove, And leave the dull body below, And fly to the regions of love.

Lord, I believe a rest remains

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CIX (1791) Person Name: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I believe a rest remains To all thy people known, A rest, where pure enjoyment reigns, And thou art lov'd alone. 2 A rest, where all our soul's desire Is fix'd on things above; Where fear, and sin, and grief expire, Cast out by perfect love. 3 O that I now the rest might know, Believe and enter in! Now, Saviour, now the pow'r bestow, And let me cease from sin. 4 Remove thy hardness from my heart, This unbelief remove; To me the rest of faith impart, The Sabbath of thy love. 5 I would be thine, thou know'st I would, And have thee all my own: Thee, O my all sufficient good! I want, and thee alone. 6 Thy name to me, thy nature grant! This, only this, be giv'n; Nothing beside my God I want, Nothing in earth and heav'n. 7 Come, O my Saviour, come away, Into my soul descend! No longer from thy creature stay, My author and my end! 8 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, And seal me thine abode; Let all I am in thee be lost, Let all be lost in God!

Rejoice evermore with angels above

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: PHBD1791 #HIII (1791) Person Name: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice evermore, with angels above, In Jesus's power, in Jesus's love, With glad exultation your triumph proclaim, Ascribing salvation to God and the Lamb. 2 Thou, Lord, our relief in trouble hast been; Hast sav'd us from grief, hast sav'd us from sin: The power of thy spirit hath set our hearts free: And now we inherit all fulness in thee. 3 All fulness of peace, all fulness of joy, And spiritual bliss that never shall cloy: To us it is given in Jesus to know A kingdom of heaven, a heaven below. 4 No longer we join, while sinners invite, Nor envy the swine their brutish delight; Their joy is all sadness, their mirth is all vain, Their laughter is madness, their pleasure is pain! 5 O may they at last with sorrow return The pleasures to taste, for which thy were born; Our Jesus receiving, our happiness prove, The joy of believing, the heaven of love.

'Tis finish'd, 'tis done

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CLXXXIV (1791) Person Name: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd, 'tis done! The spirit is fled, The pris'ner is gone, The christian is dead; The christian is living Through Jesus's love, And gladly receiving A kingdom above. 2 All honour and praise Are Jesus's due; Supported by grace, He fought his way through, Triumphantly glorious, Thro' Jesus's zeal, And more than victorious O'er sin, death, and hell. 3 Then let us record The conquering name, Our Captain and Lord With shoutings proclaim: Who trust in his passion, And follow our Head, To certain salvation We all shall be led. 4 O Jesus, lead on Thy militant care, And give us the crown Of righteousness there; Where dazzled with glory, The seraphim gaze, Or prostrate adore thee In silence or praise. 5 Come, Lord, and display Thy sign on the sky, And bear us away To the mansions on high: The kingdom be given, The purchase divine, And crown us in heaven, Eternally thine.
