My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Author: Edward Mote Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,083 hymnals Refrain First Line: On Christ the solid rock I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name. Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand: all other ground is sinking sand; all other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace; in every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain] 3 His oath, his covenant, his blood, support me in the whelming flood; when all around my soul gives way, he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain] 4 When he shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in him be found: dressed in his righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Worship and Rejoice (2003) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response

Would Jesus Have the Sinner Die?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Would Jesus have the sinner die? Why hangs He then on yonder tree? What means that strange expiring cry? (Sinners, He prays for you and me) Forgive them, Father, O forgive, They know not that by Me they live, They know not that by Me they live! 2. Jesus descended from above, Our loss of Eden to retrieve, Great God of universal love, If all the world through Thee may live, In us a quickening Spirit be, And witness Thou hast died for me, And witness Thou hast died for me! 3. Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb, Thee—by Thy painful agony, Thy bloody sweat, Thy grief and shame, Thy cross and passion on the tree, Thy precious death and life—I pray, Take all, take all my sins away, Take all, take all my sins away! 4. O let me kiss Thy bleeding feet, And bathe and wash them with my tears! The story of Thy love repeat In every drooping sinner’s ears, That all may hear the quickening sound, Since I, even I, have mercy found, Since I, even I, have mercy found. 5. O let Thy love my heart constrain! Thy love for every sinner free, That every fallen soul of man May taste the grace that found out me; That all mankind with me may prove Thy sovereign everlasting love, Thy sovereign everlasting love.

Eternity! Eternity!

Author: Wülffer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! And yet to thee Time hastes away, Like as the warhorse to the fray, Or swift as couriers homeward go, Or ship to port, or shaft from bow. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! For ever as on a perfect sphere End nor beginning can appear, Even so, Eternity, in thee Entrance nor exit can there be. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! A circle infinite art thou, Thy centre an Eternal Now, Never, we name thy outer bound, For never end therein is found. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! A little bird with fretting beak Might wear to nought the loftiest peak, Though but each thousand years it came, Yet thou wert then, as now, the same. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! As long as God is God, so long Endure the pains of sin and wrong, So long the joys of heaven remain; Oh lasting joy, Oh lasting pain! Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! O man, full oft thy thoughts should dwell Upon the pains of sin and hell, And on the glories of the pure, That both beyond all time endure. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! How terrible art thou in woe, How fair where joys for ever glow! God's goodness sheddeth gladness here, His justice there wakes bitter fear. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! They who lived poor and naked rest With God, for ever rich and blest, And love and praise the Highest Good, In perfect bliss and gladsome mood. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! A moment lasts all joy below, Whereby man sinks to endless woe, A moment lasts all earthly pain, Whereby an endless joy we gain. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! Who ponders oft on thee, is wise, All fleshly lusts will he despise, The world finds place with him no more; The love of vain delights is o'er. Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! Who marks thee well would say to God, Here judge, burn, smite me with Thy rod, Here let me all Thy justice bear, When time of grace is past, then spare! Ponder, O Man, Eternity! Eternity! Eternity! How long art thou, Eternity! Lo, I, Eternity, warn thee, O Man, that oft thou think on me, The sinner's punishment and pain, To them who love their God, rich gain! Ponder, O Man, Eternity!

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O teach Thou us to count our days And set our hearts on wisdom’s ways; Turn, Lord, to us in our distress, In pity now Thy servants bless; Let mercy’s dawn dispel our night, And all our day with joy be bright, And all our day with joy be bright. 2. O send the day of joy and light, For long has been our sorrow’s night; Afflicted through the weary years, We wait until Thy help appears; With us and with our sons abide, In us let God be glorified, In us let God be glorified. 3. So let there be on us bestowed The beauty of the Lord our God; The work accomplished by our hand Establish Thou, and make it stand; Yea, let our hopeful labor be Established evermore by Thee, Established evermore by Thee.
