Idumea
04:02
|

And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown
A land of deepest shade
Unpierced by human thought
The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot
Soon as from Earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my fortune be
Waked by the trumpet's sound
I from my grave shall rise
And see the Judge with glory crowned
And see the flaming skies

Psalm 87
04:24
|
|||
His foundation is in the holy mountains
Glorious things are spoken of thee
I will make mention to them that know me
Gates of Zion O city of God
This man
This man was born there
The Lord shall count when he writeth up the people
As well the singers, players on instruments
All my springs are in thee O city
The highest himself shall establish her
This man
This man was born there

E’er since by
Faith I saw
The stream thy flowing
Wounds supply
Redeeming love
Has been my theme
And shall be
’Til I die
Drawn from Immanuel's veins
When this lisping,
stammering tongue
Lies silent
in the grave
Then in a no-
bler, sweeter song
I will sing
Thy power to save
Drawn from Immanuel's veins
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins

The Sign of Jonah
04:08
|
|||
O sleeper, Arise
Call upon thy God
If so be that we
Perish not
And they said everyone
To his fellow
Let us cast lots
That we may know
For whose cause
This evil is upon us
Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh lord my God
Oh my God
Three days
Three nights
Tell us we pray thee
What is thine occupation
What is thy country
Of what people art thou
Then said they unto him
What shall we do unto thee
That the sea may be calm
Unto us
Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh lord my God
Oh my God
Three days
Three nights
O sleeper, Arise
Call upon thy God
If so be that we
Perish not
Said, I cried by reason
Of mine affliction unto the Lord
Out of the belly of hell
And thou heardest my voice
Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh lord my God
Oh my God
Three days
Three nights

Why, Impious Herod
03:30
|
|||
Herod shouldst thou fear
The Christ is near?
Heavenly kingdoms grant
Thine earth don’t want
Lo, sages
From the east
Are gone to
Where the star
Hath newly shone
By light to light, they press
And by their gifts
Their God confess
God is manifest
Jordon’s water blest
Who sin had never known
Our sins undone
He that ruleth
everything
change the nature
of the spring
gives at Cana
This for sign
Herod shouldst though fear
the water reddens
into wine
The water reddens into wine

Evening Sacrifice
04:41

Die-away
Wimpled lip
Gold-wisp
Airy-grey
Eye, all in
Fellowship
This, all this
Beauty blooming
This, all this
Freshness fuming
Give God
While worth
Consuming
Both thought
Give God while worth consuming
Tell me child
What shall I buy
Sweetest air
Plied and pressed
Father what
You buy me
It’s your choice
I like best
What the heart is
Like carriers let fly
Nature knows
To its own
Ten years long
How to and why
Give God while worth consuming
Head, heart, hand, heel, and
Head, heart, hand, heel, and
Head, heart, hand, heel, and
Shoulder
Head, heart, hand, heel, and
Head, heart, hand, heel, and
Head, heart, hand, heel, and
Shoulder
Vault and scope
Mastery
In silk-ash
Kept from cooling
Ripest un-
Under rind
Life half lifts the latch of
What hell stalks
Towards the snatch of
Your offering, with despatch
Life half lifts the latch of
Give God while worth consuming

Canaan's Land
03:37
|
|||
Oh for a breeze of heavenly love
To waft my soul away
To that celestial world above
Where pleasures ne’er decay
Eternal Spirit, Deign to be My pilot here below,
To steer through life’s tempestuous sea
Where stormy winds do blow
Waft my soul away
Eternal Spirit, Deign to be My pilot here below,
To steer through life’s tempestuous sea
Where stormy winds do blow
To steer through life’s tempestuous sea
Where stormy winds do blow
