LISTING BY FIRST LINE

Arise, my gracious God Awake, ye saints, to praise your King Behold, the Judge descends, his guards are nigh Bless, O my soul, the living God Broad is the road that leads to death Come, let our voices join to raise Death, like an overflowing stream Deep in our hearts let us record Disciples of Christ, ye friends of the Lamb Far as Thy name is known Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone God, my supporter and my hope Great shepherd of Thine Israel Had not the Lord, may Israel say Hail the day that saw Him rise Happy the city, where their sons Hear our prayer, O Lord our God How long wilt Thou forget me, Lord? How pleasant 'tis to see I am not concerned to know I know that my Redeemer lives I send the joys of earth away

I wait for Thy salvation, Lord Join all the glorious names Let a broad stream with golden sands Let strangers walk around Let tyrants shake their iron rod Life, like a vain amusement, flies Like fruitful showers of rain Lord of the worlds above Might I enjoy the meanest place within Thy house Mine eyes and my desire are ever to the Lord Mourn, mourn, ye saints, who once did see My soul lies cleaving to the dust My soul, come meditate the day No, I shall envy them no more Now begin the heavenly theme Now shall my head be lifted high O all ye nations, praise the Lord O praise the Lord, O my soul O that the Lord would guide my ways See what a living stone

Shall the vile race of flesh and blood Sinners, awake betimes Soon as I heard my Father say Stoop down my thoughts, that use to rise Sweet is the day of sacred rest Sweet is the work, my God and King That man is blest, who stands in awe The God of glory sends His summons forth The law by Moses came The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns Thee we adore, eternal name Think, mighty God, on feeble man This life's a dream, an empty show 'Tis with a mournful pleasure now To God the Father, God the Son Welcome, sweet day of rest, that saw the Lord arise When God revealed His gracious name When man grows bold in sin While shepherds watched their flocks Why did the nations join to slay
