Death’s dark waters o’er me roll, Save, O save, my sinking soul. 2. Never bowed a martyr’s head Weighed with equal sorrow down; Never blood so rich was shed, Never king wore such a crown; To Thy cross and sacrifice Faith now lifts her tearful eyes. 3. All my soul by love subdued, Melts in deep contrition there; By Thy mighty grace renewed, New-born hope forbids despair: Lord! Thou canst my guilt forgive, Thou has bid me look and live. 4. While with broken heart I kneel Sinks the inward storm to rest; Life—immortal life—I feel Kindled in my throbbing breast Thine—for ever Thine—I am! Glory to the bleeding Lamb!

Morning of the Sabbath day

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Morning of the Sabbath day, O thou sweetest hour of prime! Dart a retrospective ray O'er the eastern hills of time; Daybreak let my spirit see At the foot of Calvary. Joseph's sepulchre is nigh; Here the seal upon the stone, There the sentinel, with eye, Star-like, fix'd on that alone; All around is calm and clear, Life and death keep Sabbath here. Bright and brighter, beam on beam, Now, like first created light, From the rock-cleft, gleam by gleam, Shoots athwart the waning night, Till the splendour grows intense, Overpowering mortal sense. Glory turns with me to gloom, Sight, pulsation, thought depart, And the stone that closed the tomb Seems to lie upon my heart; 131 With that shock the vision flies; Christ is risen;--and I may rise:-- Rise, like Him, as, from this trance, When the trumpet calls the just To the Saints' inheritance, From their dwellings in the dust: By thy resurrection's power, Jesus, save me in that hour. Sabbath morning, hail to thee; O thou sweetest hour of prime! From the foot of Calvary, Now to Zion's top I climb, There my risen Lord to meet, In his temple, at his feet.

Mistful Are Our Waiting Eyes

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Mistful are our waiting eyes, As of them who saw Him rise From that mountain to the skies. Then the holy angels near Gave them tidings of good cheer: Jesus shall again appear. 2. And we wait an angel’s cry, Piercing earthward from the sky: Now, behold your Lord is nigh! Yet, who shall abide that day, When the Judge with dread array Comes for universal sway? 3. Dreadly shall His summons sweep, Heard by those who wake or sleep, On the height or in the deep: Heard by Life ’mid all its bloom, Heard by Death in every tomb— Terrible decree of doom. 4. For the gathered souls who stand, Waiting that supreme command, He shall part on either hand. To those souls of quick and dead, Come, shall be the blessing said, Go, shall be the cursing dread. 5. Lord, dwell in us now, we pray, That, in the dividing day, We be not the cast away! So shall we till Thou appear Blend, in longing eye and ear, Holy joy with holy fear!

Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace, Black, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyestrings break in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee.
