O Love of God Most Full
Ye Mourning Saints Behold
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16159 Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Ye mourning saints, behold Lyrics:
1 Ye mourning saints, behold
The Lamb that once was slain;
See, see Him on the cross expire,
In agonizing pain.
2 The fruits of glory grow
On that accursèd tree;
The Savior dies, the sinner lives,
His bondage sets us free.
3 The law He satisfied,
And paid the debt we owed,
Atoned our guilt, our grief sustained,
A vast oppressive load.
4 ’Tis from His dying groans,
Our loud hosannas rise;
By faith in Him our souls aspire
To mansions in the skies.
5 In our united songs,
Let us His grace proclaim;
For us He died and rose again,
Exalted be His name.

Ye Mourning Saints Behold
In Sorrow And Distress
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14562 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In sorrow and distress,
To Thee, O Lord, we fly;
In penitential lowliness
To Thee for mercy cry.
2 Mercy, O mercy, Lord;
From Thee we have our breath :
We read it written in Thy Word,
“God willeth not your death.
3 God gave His only Son
Your sins to take away;
And God’s dear Son to Heav’n is gone
On your behalf to pray.
4 By Thine own love we plead,
O hearken to our prayer;
By Him, who for our sins did bleed,
Spare us, O Father, spare.
5 Our drooping minds refresh
With showers of heav’nly dew;
For hearts of stone give hearts of flesh,
Renew us, Lord, renew.
6 Comfort, and make us whole,
With Thy free Spirit’s grace;
Lift up, O Lord, upon our soul
The luster of Thy face.
7 With Jesu’s white robe hide
Our manifold offense;
And cleanse with blood from Jesu’s side
Our tears of penitence.
8 Constrain us to abhor
The sins that made Him grieve;
And ne’er to tempt the Spirit more
Our thankless hearts to leave.
9 Make us, O Lord, to tread
The path which Jesus trod;
Which Him from earth in triumph led
To the right hand of God.
10 So, with the saints in Heav’n,
May we sing praise to Thee,
For peace restored, and sins forgiv’n
To all eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: TRENTHAM

Henry Harbaugh
1817 - 1867 Author of "Jesus, I Live to Thee" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Harbaugh, Henry, D.D., born in Franklin Co., Pennsylvania, Oct. 24, 1817, was of Swiss descent. In early life he was a farmer, carpenter, and teacher; but in 1840 he entered Marshall College, Mercersburg. Entering the ministry of the German Reformed body, he became, in 1844, Pastor at Lewisburg, Lancaster and Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and in 1864 Professor in Theology at Mercersburg. He died Dec. 27, 1867. He was Editor of the Guardian and the Mercersburg Review, in which he advocated what was called "Mercersburg Theology." His published works include sundry books about Heaven; Poems, Philadelphia, 1860, and Hymns & Chants for Sunday Schools, Lebanon, 1861. This last includes his hymns. The best known and most widely used of his compositions are:—
1. Jesus, I live to Thee. [Life consecrated to Jesus.] This hymn is dated 1850. It is No. 391 in the Hymns of the Church, N. Y., 1869; No. 255 in Allon's Supplementary Hymns, London, 1868, and is also in other collections.
2. God most mighty, sovereign Lord. [National Hymn.] Appeared in his Poems, 1860, in 8 stanzas of 8 lines, and headed, "A National Litany hymn." In some collections it is abridged, as in Hatfield's Church Hymnbook, N. Y., 1872, No. 1307; and in others part of it is altered to "Christ by heavenly hosts adored," as in the Reformed Dutch Hymns of the Church, 1869, No. 935, and others.
3. Make the cross your meditation. [Passiontide.] This translation of "Recordare sanctae crucis" (q.v.) appeared in the Mercersburg Review, 1858, p. 481, and in his Poems 1860. It is worthy of more attention than it has received.
[Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
