Hymn Context Compare
Nor ev­er fear to part again,
The sweet lay,
In our Sab­bath dwell­ing,
That flocks and shep­herds rose at once,
Sing the ran­somed ones of Heav’n;
Yea, when their wrath against us fierce­ly rose,
God’s heart speaks to mine.
When men, to make our lives a prey,
But Je­sus guards the way:
start
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
I trust in His al­migh­ty pow­er,
On each word the sweet tones dwell­ing,
The God that spread the heav’ns abroad,
While the an­gel hosts, ador­ing, round Him fall;
Shall send the ec­ho round,
My an­chor-hold is firm on Him,
The an­gel host His glo­ry tell­ing,
My high tow­er is He!
My high tow­er is He!

swell­ing

Beyond the swell­ing flood!
Hail the day.
Gently their wings they blend,
With swell­ing hearts re­bound­ing.
Of the joy of souls for­giv’n.
The rag­ing stream had then be­come our grave,
As these lines I scan;
The swell­ing tide had stopped our breath,
Hear and ob­ey His word;
Boldly re­ject­ing the Lamb that was slain,
Soon we’ll cross
His com­forts bear me up;
Easter morn is say­ing, say­ing,
end
From the ser­aphs pure and bright,
In one eter­nal sound.
His com­forts bear my spir­its up,
Psalter and harp are the an­them swell­ing.
Dark clouds above I see;
Dark clouds above I see;
