Now Let Us from This Table Rise
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1 Now let us from this table rise
renewed in body, mind, and soul;
with Christ we die and live again,
his selfless love has made us whole.
2 With minds alert, upheld by grace
to spread the word in speech and deed,
we follow in the steps of Christ,
at one with all in hope and need.
3 To fill each human house with love,
it is the sacrament of care;
the work that Christ began to do
we humbly pledge ourselves to share.
4 Then grant us courage, Father God,
to choose again the pilgrim way,
and help us to accept with joy
the challenge of tomorrow's day.

Author: Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,

that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake!

his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.

for us his daily works he wrought:
by words and signs and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to wicked hands betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.

for love so deep, so high, so broad;
the Trinity whom we adore
for ever and for evermore. Topics: Jesus Christ our Lord Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Latin, 15th cent.

Rejoice! The Year upon Its Way
Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice! the year upon its way
has brought again this blessèd day
when on the chosen of the Lord
the Holy Spirit was outpoured.
2 That morning a rushing noise
came like the tempest's sudden voice
and mingled with th'apostles' pryer
proclaimed aloud that God was there.
3 On each the fire descending stood
in quiv'ring tongues’ similitude;
from out the Father's light it came
that beautiful and holy flame.
4 To all in ev'ry tongue they spoke;
amazement in the crowd awoke,
who mocked, as overcome with wine,
those who were filled with power divine.
5 As then, O Lord, thou didst fulfill
each holy heart to do thy will,
so now do thou our sins forgive,
and make the world in peace to live.
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, praise be done;
may Christ the Lord upon us pour
the Spirit’s gift forevermore.

Lord, What a Thoughtless Wretch Was I
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur, and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.

Thy sanctuary taught me so;
On slippery rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.

I’ll never envy them again;
There they may stand with haughty eyes,
Till they plunge deep in endless pain.

Just like a dream when man awakes;
Their songs of softest harmony
Are but a preface to their plagues.

Too dear to purchase with my blood;
Lord, ’tis enough that Thou art mine,
My life, my portion, and my God. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

My Soul Once Had Its Plenteous Years
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. My soul once had its plenteous years,
And throve, with peace and comfort filled,
Like the fat kine and ripened ears,
Which Pharaoh in his dream beheld.

With means and ordinances fed;
How happy for a while I lived,
And little feared the want of bread.
3. But famine came and left no sign
Of all the plenty I had seen;
Like the dry ears and half-starved kine,
I then looked withered, faint and lean.
4. To Joseph the Egyptians went,
To Jesus I made known my case;
He, when my little stock was spent,
Opened His magazine of grace.
5. For He the time of dearth foresaw,
And made provision long before;
That famished souls, like me, might draw
Supplies from His unbounded store.
6. Now on His bounty I depend,
And live from fear of dearth secure,
Maintained by such a mighty Friend,
I cannot want till He is poor.
7. O sinners, hear His gracious call!
His mercy’s door stands open wide,
He has enough to feed you all,
And none who come shall be denied. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 11

Great God, To Thee My Evening Song

With humble gratitude I raise;
O let Thy mercy tune my tongue
And fill my heart with lively praise.
2 Mercy, that rich unbounded store;
Does my unnumbered wants relieve;
Among Thy daily craving poor,
On Thy all bounteous hand I live.
3 My days unclouded, as they pass,
And every gently rolling hour,
Are monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to Thy love and power.
4 Thy love and power, celestial Guard,
Preserve me from surrounding harms;
Can danger reach me, while the Lord
Extends His kind protecting arms?
5 My numerous wants are known to Thee,
Ere my slow wishes can arise;
Thy goodness, measureless and free,
Is ready still with full supplies.
6 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart,
Too oft regardless of Thy love,
Ungrateful, can from Thee depart,
And fond of trifles, vainly rove.
7 When calm reflection finds a place,
How vile this wretched heart appears!
O let Thy all subduing grace
Melt it in penitential tears.
8 Seal my forgiveness in the blood
Of Jesus: His dear name alone
I plead for pardon, gracious God,
And kind acceptance at Thy throne.
9 Let this blest hope my eyelids close
With sleep refresh my feeble frame;
Safe in Thy care may I repose,
And wake with praises to Thy name. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

2 "Search out your heart, and mend your ways,
That you may dwell with Me above;
Obedient faith, and thankful praise,
Such is the sacrifice I love."
3 O Lord, while others in despair
Cry, "Where is comfort to be found?"
I know that Thou wilt hear my prayer,
And let my soul with peace be crowned.
4 Thy blessings are of lasting worth,
Through endless years Thy goodness flows;
Vain are the riches of the earth
Compared with what Thy hand bestows.
5 I will lie down, and calmly sleep,
For on Thy succor I depend;
My soul in safety Thou wilt keep,
And be my never failing friend. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1831

The Lamb's high banquet we await
Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The Lamb’s high banquet we await
In snow-white robes of royal state,
And now, the Red Sea’s channel past,
To Christ our Prince we sing at last.
2 Upon the altar of the Cross
His Body has redeemed our loss,
And tasting of his precious Blood,
Our life is hid with Christ in God.
3 That Paschal eve God’s arm was bared,
The devastating angel spared;
By strength of hand our hosts went free
From Pharaoh’s ruthless tyranny.
4 Now Christ our Passover is slain,
The Lamb of God that knows no stain,
And he, the true unleavened Bread,
Is truly our oblation made.
5 *O thou from whom hell’s monarch flies,
O great, O very Sacrifice,
Thy captive people are set free,
And endless life restored in thee.
6 *For Christ, arising from the dead,
From conquered hell victorious sped,
He thrusts the tyrant down to chains,
And Paradise for man regains.
7 Maker of all, to thee we pray,
Fulfil in s thy joy today;
When death assails, grant, Lord, that we
May share thy Paschal victory.
8 To thee who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give,
All glory to the Father be
And spirit blest, eternally. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Eastertide; Office Hymn Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Latin, probably 7th century

Let the round world with songs rejoice
Author: Richard Mant, 1776-1848 Appears in 9 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Let the round world with songs rejoice,
Let heaven return the joyful voice,
All mindful of the Apostles’ fame,
Let heaven and earth their praise proclaim.
2 Ye servants who once bore the light
Of gospel truth o’er heathen night,
Still may your work that light impart,
To glad our eyes and cheer our heart.
3 O God, by whom to them was given
The key that shuts and opens heaven,
Our chains unbind, our loss repair,
And grant us grace to enter there.
4 For at thy will they preached the word
Which cured disease, which health conferred;
O may thy healing power once more
Our souls to grace and health restore.
5 That when as judge thy Son shall come
To bring his ransomed people home,
He may with them pronounce us blest,
And place us in thine endless rest.
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honour, praise and majesty,
Now and throughout eternity. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Apostles and Evangelists; Office Hymn Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Latin, c. 10th century

Return, My Soul, And Seek Thy Rest
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Return, my soul, and seek thy rest
Upon thy heav’nly Father’s breast:
Indulge me, Lord, in that repose,
The soul which loves Thee only knows.
2 Lodged in Thine arms I fear no more
The tempest’s howl, the billows’ roar;
Those storms must shake th’Almighty’s seat,
Which violate the saints’ retreat.
3 Thy bounties, Lord, to me surmount
The power of language to recount;
From morning dawn, the setting sun
Sees but my work of praise begun.
4 The mercies, all my moments bring,
Ask an eternity to sing;
What thanks those mercies can suffice
Which thro’ eternity shall rise?
5 Rich in ten thousand gifts possessed,
In future hopes more richly blessed,
I’ll sit and sing, till death shall raise
A note of more proportioned praise. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

A son, the Son of God most high!

The Son of Man, with us to dwell,
And us Thy Father’s glory show,

And Thou hast there a place for me!
Though yet an exile here I roam,
That distant home by faith I see.
2 I see its domes resplendent glow,
Where beams of God’s own glory fall;
And trees of life immortal grow,
Whose fruits o’erhang the sapphire wall.
3 I know that Thou, who on the tree
Didst deign our mortal guilt to bear,
Will bring Thine own to dwell with Thee,
And waitest to receive me there.
4 Thy love will there array my soul
In Thine own robe of spotless hue;
And I shall gaze while ages roll,
On Thee, with raptures ever new.
5 O welcome day! when Thou my feet
Shalt bring the shining threshold o’er;
A Father’s warm embrace to meet,
And dwell at home for evermore.
