Alleluia, sing to Jesus!

Author: William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 214 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:15 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! his the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia, his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: 'Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.' 2 Alleluia, not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; alleluia, he is near us, faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, 'I am with you evermore'? 3 Alleluia, bread of angels, here on earth our food, our stay; alleluia, here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's redeemer, plead for me, where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia, King eternal, Lord omnipotent we own; alleluia, born of Mary, earth your footstool, heaven your throne. As within the veil you entered, robed in flesh, our great high priest, here on earth both priest and victim in the eucharistic feast. 5 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! his the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia, his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: 'Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.'

The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 836 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:12 Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war A kingly crown to gain. His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below,-- He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky And called on Him to save. Like Him, with pardon on His tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong,-- Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel,-- Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Thro' peril, toil, and pain. O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train! Amen.
