O Jesus, King Most Wonderful
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 247 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:10-11 First Line: O Jesus, King most wonderful! Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King most wonderful!
O Conqueror renowned!
O Source of peace ineffable,
In whom all joys are found:
2 When once You visit darkened hearts,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanity departs,
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, light of all below,
The fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire:
4 May ev'ry heart confess Your name,
Forever You adore,
And, seeking You, itself inflame
To seek You more and more!
5 Oh, may our tongues forever bless,
May we love You alone
And ever in our lives express
The image of Your own!

Holy God, We Praise Your Name
Author: Ignace Franz; Clarence Alphonsus Walworth (1820-1900) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 202 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:11 Lyrics: 1 Holy God, we praise your name;
Lord of all, we bow before you.
Saints on earth your rule acclaim;
all in heaven above adore you.
Infinite your vast domain;
everlasting is your reign.
2 Hark, the glad celestial hymn
angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim,
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heavens with sweet accord:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord!"
3 Lo, the apostolic train
joins your sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white-robed martyrs follow;
and from morn to set of sun,
through the church the song goes on.
4 Holy Father, holy Son,
Holy Spirit, three we name you,
though in essence only one;
undivided God, we claim you,
and, adoring, bend the knee
while we own the mystery.

Jesus, Lord, We Look to Thee
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 197 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:4 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Lord, we look to thee;
let us in thy name agree;
show thyself the Prince of Peace,
bid our strife forever cease.
2. By thy reconciling love
every stumbling block remove;
each to each unite, endear;
come, and spread thy banner here.
3. Make us of one heart and mind,
gentle, courteous, and kind,
lowly, meek, in thought and word,
altogether like our Lord.
4. Let us for each other care,
each the other's burdens bear;
to thy church the pattern give,
show how true believers live.
5. Free from anger and from pride,
let us thus in God abide;
all the depths of love express,
all the heights of holiness.
6. Let us then with joy remove
to the family above;
on the wings of angels fly,
show how true believers die.

To the Name of Our Salvation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Lyrics: 1 To the Name of our salvation
laud and honour let us pay,
which for many a generation
hid in God's foreknowledge lay;
but with holy exultation
we may sing aloud today.
2 Jesus is the name we treasure,
name beyond what words can tell;
name of gladness, name of pleasure,
ear and heart delighting well;
name of sweetness passing measure,
saving us from sin and hell.
3 'Tis the name that whoso preaches
speaks like music to the ear;
who in prayer this name beseeches
finds its comfort ever near;
who its perfect wisdom reaches,
heavenly joy possesses here.
4 Jesus is the name exalted
over every other name;
in this name, whene'er assaulted,
we can put our foes to shame:
strength to them who else had halted,
eyes to blind and feet to lame.
5 Therefore we in love adoring,
this most blessed name revere,
holy Jesus, thee imploring
so to write it in us here
that, hereafter heavenward soaring,
we may sing with angels there.

O Thou whom we adore! To Bless our earth
From East to West, from Shore to Shore
Author: Coelius Sedulius; John Ellerton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:7 Lyrics:
1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
let earth awake and sing--
the holy Child, whom Mary bore,
the Christ, the Lord, the King!
2 For lo! the world's creator wears
the fashion of a slave;
our human flesh the God-head bears,
a human race to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden in her place
became in ways beyond all thought
the vessel of his grace.
4 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
nor scorned the manger bed;
and he, whose bounty feedeth all,
at Mary's breast was fed.
5 To shepherds poor the Lord most high,
Great Shepherd, was revealed
While angel choirs sang joyously
above the midnight field:
6 "All glory be to God above,
and on the earth be peace
to all who long to taste his love,
till time itself shall cease."

Hymn 130
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:2 First Line: Now by the bowels of my God Lyrics:
Now by the bowels of my God,
His sharp distress, his sore complaints,
By his last groans, his dying blood,
I charge my soul to love the saints.
Clamor, and wrath, and war, begone,
Envy and spite, for ever cease;
Let bitter words no more be known
Amongst the saints, the sons of peace.
The Spirit, like a peaceful dove,
Flies from the realms of noise and strife:
Why should we vex and grieve his love
Who seals our souls to heav'nly life?
Tender and kind be all our thoughts,
Through all our lives let mercy run;
So God forgives our num'rous faults,
For the dear sake of Christ his Son.
