Christ alone is our salvation

Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation, Christ the rock on which we stand; Other than this sure foundation Will be found but sinking sand. Christ, His cross and resurrection, Is alone the sinners' plea; At the throne of God's perfection Nothing else can set him free. 2 We have all things, Christ possessing: Life eternal, second birth; Present pardon, peace, and blessing, While we tarry here on earth; And by faith's anticipation, Foretaste of the joy above, Freely given us with salvation, By the Father in His love. 3 When we perfect joy shall enter, 'Tis in Him our bless will rise; He's the essence, soul, and center Of the glory in the skies: In redemption's wondrous story Planned before our parents' fall, From the cross unto the glory, Jesus Christ is all in all.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,292 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose Word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode: On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.

Hark! the voice of Jesus crying

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 505 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, Rich reward He offers thee: Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me?" 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite; And the least you give for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Offering life and peace to all; With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what heaven demand; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth-- "Here am I; send me, send me."

Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord, to Thee. Multitudes, which none can number Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry in their hand. 2 Patriarch and holy prophet, Who prepared the way of Christ, King, apostle, saint, confessor, Martyr, and evangelist, Saintly maiden, godly matron, Widows who have watched to payer, Joined in holy concert, singing To the Lord of all, are there. 3 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood. Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 4 Marching with Thy Cross, their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Savior and their King. Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered, Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died, And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 5 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite. Love and peace they taste forever And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity. 6 God of God, the One-begotten Light of Light, Emmanuel, In whose body, joined together, All the saints forever dwell. Pour upon us of Thy fulness That we may forevermore God the Father, God the Spirit, One with Thee on high, adore. Amen.

De skal sige: Himmerige Har Gud skjænkt os i sin Søn! 3 Nu, saa sjunger, Hjerter, Tunger Høit i Sky mod Himlens Pol: Evig være dig al Ære, Lov og Pris paa Ærens Stol!
