All Glory Be to God on High

Author: Nikolaus Decius; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 104 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All glory be to God on high, Who hath our race befriended! To us no harm shall now come nigh, The strife at last is ended; God showeth His goodwill to men, And peace shall reign on earth again; O thank Him for His goodness! 2. We praise, we worship Thee, we trust And give Thee thanks forever, O father, that Thy rule is just And wise, and changes never; Thy boundless grace o’er all things reigns, Thou dost whate’er Thy will ordains; ’Tis well Thou art our Ruler! 3. O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, Begotten of the Father, O Thou who hast our peace restored, And the lost sheep dost gather, Thou Lamb of God, enthroned on high Behold our need and hear our cry; Have mercy on us, Jesus! 4. O Holy Spirit, precious Gift, Thou Comforter unfailing, Do Thou our troubled souls uplift, Against the foe prevailing; Avert our woes and calm our dread: For us the Savior’s blood was shed; Do Thou in faith sustain us!

Psalm 148: Let All Creation Bless the Lord

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Let all creation bless the Lord Lyrics: 1 Let all creation bless the Lord, till heaven with praise is ringing. Sun, moon, and stars, peal out a chord, stir up the angels' singing. Sing, wind and rain! Sing, snow and sleet! make music, day, night, cold and heat: exalt the God who made you. 2 All living things upon the earth, green fertile hills and mountains, sing to the God who gave you birth; be joyful, springs and fountains. Lithe waterlife, bright airborne birds, wild roving beasts, tame flocks and herds: exalt the God who made you. 3 O men and women everywhere, lift up a hymn of glory; let all who know God's steadfast care tell out salvation's story. No tongue be silent; sing your part, you humble souls and meek of heart: exalt the God who made you. Used With Tune: ALLEIN GOTT IN DER HÖH

O Death, Where Is Thy Cruel Sting

Author: Justus Gesenius; Geo. Weissel Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O death, where is thy cruel sting? Lyrics: 1 O death, where is thy cruel sting? O grave, where is thy power? What harm to us can Satan bring? Why need we fear or cower? All thanks to God who won the fight And saved us from our wretched plight Thro' Jesus Christ, our Savior. 2 How mightily the serpent strove When Christ with him contended! Thro' craftiness awhile he throve, But now his rule is ended. For tho' he bruised the Savior's heel, He yet no mortal thrust could deal; His head is bruised and trodden. 3 He lives, who by the foe was slain And held awhile in prison; His members now shall freedom gain, Since He, their Head, is risen. If heed unto His Word they give, Tho' they were dead, yet shall they live; Nor death nor grave an hold them. 4 If daily we with Christ arise Thro' faith and true repentance, Then may we calmly close our eyes And laugh to scorn death's sentence; For death is shorn of all its pow'rs, While peace and pardon now are ours, Eternal life and glory. 5 Behold the spoils that we possess, For which the Lord has striven: Forgiveness, peace and righteousness, Eternal life in heaven. So here we now with joy abide Till, in the body glorified, We dwell with Him forever. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: DECIUS Text Sources: Tr. Composite
