The strong birds tire, and gladly seek their nest: With quiet heart enjoy Heaven’s quiet smile; What strength has he who never takes his rest? 3 Rest for a while, though ’tis but for a while; Home flies the bee, then soon re-quits the hive: Rest on thy staff, walk then another mile; Soon will the long, the final rest arrive. 4 Oh, rest awhile, for rest is self-return; Leave the loud world, and visit thine own breast; The meaning of thy labors thou wilt learn, When thus at peace, with Jesus for thy guest.

Thou lovest us, else had we never been: Before we were, in ages long ago, Thy love had us and all our wants foreseen, Creating us that we Thy love might know, Yea, Father, Thou, in whom we live and move, Hast loved us with an everlasting love. 3. Thou madest man immortal at the first, An image of Thine own eternity; And when he fell from life, through sin accursed, And lost his right to the life giving tree, Thy love, unconquered would to him restore His life ennobled and forevermore. 4. Such was Thy love, Thou didst not even spare Thy Best-beloved, but gav’st Him for us all; To live that human life beyond compare, And dying, by His death retrieve our fall. In Him Thy love unbounded we behold, For, giving Him, Thou canst not aught withhold. 5. Thou knowest what we are, how frail and blind, Thou still rememberest that we are but dust: Like as a father pitieth, Thou art kind, Thy justice kindness, and Thy kindness just. Then hear Thy children’s prayer from Heav’n Thy throne; Father, Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done. Used With Tune: OLD 50TH Text Sources: Hymns for Adoration for Church Use, 1900

And truly it is a most glorious thing Thus to hear men pray and God’s praises sing, O how great comfort is it now to see— The churches to enjoy full liberty. And to have the Gospel preachèd here with power, And such wolves repelled as all would else devour. 2. But God will still for His people provide Such as be able them to help and guide, If they cleave to Him and do not forsake— His laws and truth and their own ways do take. If thou hast viewed the camp of Israel, How God in the wilderness with them did dwell. 3. His great and marvelous works they here saw, And He them taught in His most holy law, A small emblem hereof thou mayest see, How God hath dealt with them in some degree, For much of Himself they now there have seen, And marvelous to them His works have been.

Since Through God's Mercy

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 10.10.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Since through God's mercy this ministry's ours Lyrics: 1. Since through God’s mercy this ministry’s ours, Bringing men righteousness through God’s great power, We don’t lose heart but renounce shameful ways; We don’t deceive but the truth plainly say. To unbelievers our message is veiled; They are made blind by the god of this world. But God who said, Let the dark turn to light, Shined in our hearts with His glory so bright. 2. We are hard pressed on all sides but not crushed; We are perplexed, but we never give up; We’re persecuted but not left by God; We are struck down, but we’re never destroyed. We have this treasure in jars made of clay, That God’s great power and not ours be displayed. Within our bodies Christ’s death do we show, That Jesus’ life in us now may be known. 3. We know we’ll be raised with Jesus one day; Therefore, our trials do not cause dismay. Though on the outside we’re wasting away, Inwardly we are renewed day by day. Our present troubles will soon pass away; Eternal glory they’ll bring us some day. We fix our eyes not on what we can see; Only the unseen will eternal be. Used With Tune: WHITTLE

The dead come forth; and all, both small and great, Are summoned to God’s awful judgment seat. 2 Ten thousand angels are around their Lord, Forth issues from His throne a fiery flood; And with the mighty mandate of His word He separates the wicked from the good; These on the right—those on the other hand— Waiting their everlasting sentence stand. 3 Hide us, ye hills, ye mountains, on us fall! With fear and piercing shrieks the guilty cry, And to the caves and rocks for succor call, Hide us, O hide us from His searching eye; O save us from the fury of His ire, From the undying worm and lake of fire! 4 But O what joys the saints of God await! Bliss unalloyed, and sunshine without night; Christ opens wide to them His palace gate, And bids them drink of pleasures infinite; God wipes all tears for ever from their eyes, And gives to them the life that never dies. 5 Thou Christ, who came from Heav’n our wounds to cure, And all the works of Satan to destroy, O purify us, Lord, as Thou art pure, That we may come to that unsullied joy, And fashioned in Thy glorious image be, And, by Thy grace divine, be like to Thee!

Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move, Bound for the land of bright spirits above; Angelic choristers sing as I come, Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home; Soon with my pilgrimage ended below; Home to the land of bright spirits I go, Pilgrim and stranger no more shall I roam, Joyfully, joyfully, resting at home. 2. Friends fondly cherished have passed on before, Waiting they watch me approaching the shore; Singing to cheer me through death’s chilling gloom, Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home; Sounds of sweet melody fall on mine ear; Harps of the blessèd, your voices I hear! Rings with the harmony Heaven’s high dome, Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home. 3. Death with thy weapons of war lay me low; Strike, king of terrors, I fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb, Joyfully, joyfully will I go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn; Death shall be banished, his scepter be gone; Joyfully then shall I witness his doom, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home. Used With Tune: NEWKIRK

Hastings Meter: 10.10.10.10 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Glad was the message, and joyous the strain Lyrics: 1 Glad was the message, and joyous the strain, Brought to the shepherds on Bethlehem’s plain; Chanted by angels who came from above Bearing glad tidings of mercy and love; Bringing good news to the nations of earth, News of a Savior, whose glorious birth Gave to this sad world a message of peace, Bidding its woe and its warfare to cease. 2 Lo! in the manger the Savior is laid; Earth has no refuge, no place for His head; Sojourner, stranger, and wanderer here, Dark was His lot, and His pilgrimage drear; But in His mercy and kindness He came, Seeking to win us from sorrow and shame; Bidding the troubled to come and be blessed; Calling the way-worn and weary to rest. 3 Oh, may we ponder and keep in our mind God’s wondrous mercy in saving mankind; Sending His Son who, in seeking the lost, Lay in the manger and hung on the cross; Following Him, by His help and His grace, We shall be with Him and gaze on His face; Then with the ransomed and glorified throng, We shall adore Him with harp and with song.

Gift of all gifts, the most loved and adored, Jesus, anointed, the Savior and Lord. 2 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Savior to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me. Beautiful feet on the mountain that bring Tidings, glad tidings, from Israel’s king. Peace and salvation, and pardon divine, Joy of all joys, that salvation is mine. 3 Carefully, tearfully will I draw nigh, Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye; Mercy for all in the Savior to see, Mercy abounding, abounding for me.

[Refrain] 3 Brought before Pilate, abused and reviled, Cruelly smitten, His raiment defiled, Suffering sorrow, in pain and in loss, Crowned with thorns, and then nailed to the cross; Shedding His blood there for you and for me, Giving His life that mankind might be free, Sadly and low tho’ the tale may be told, Such is the story of Jesus, of old.
