I love to hear the story
Author: Emily Huntington Miller, 1833-1913 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: I love to hear the story
which angel voices tell,
how once the King of Glory
came down on earth to dwell.
I am both weak and sinful,
but this I surely know,
the Lord came down to save me,
because He loved me so.
2 I’m glad my blessèd Saviour
was once a child like me,
to show how pure and holy
His little ones might be;
and, if I try to follow
His footsteps here below,
He never will forget me,
because He loves me so.
3 To sing His love and mercy
my sweetest songs I’ll raise;
and, though I cannot see Him,
I know He hears my praise;
For He has kindly promised
that even I may go
to sing among His angels,
because He loves me so. Topics: Jesus Christ His Life and Ministry Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

Al trono majestuoso
Author: Juan Bautista Cabrera, 1837-1916; Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; Alfred Ostrom, 1868-1941 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Al trono majestuoso
Del Dios de potestad,
Humildes vuestra frente,
Naciones inclinad.
Él es el ser supremo,
De todo es el Señor,
Y nada al fin resiste
A Dios el Hacedor.
2 Del polvo de la tierra
Su mano nos formó,
Y nos donó la vida
Su Aliento Creador;
Después, al vernos ciegos,
Caídos en error,
Cual padre al hijo amado
Salud nos proveyó.
3 La gratitud sincera
Nos dictará el cantar,
Y en tiernos, dulces sones
Al cielo subirá;
Con los celestes himnos
Cantados a Jehová,
La armónica alabanza
Doquier resonará.
4 Señor, a tu Palabra
Sujeto el mundo está,
Y del mortal perecen
La astucia y la maldad;
Después de haber cesado
Los siglos de correr,
Tu amor, verdad y gloria
Han de permanecer. Topics: La Vida Cristiana Acción de Gracias; El Dia del Señor; Pátria; The Lord's Day; The Christian Life Thanksgiving; Homeland Used With Tune: AURELIA

Sing to the Lord of Harvest
Author: John S. B. Monsell, 1811-75 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest;
Sing songs of love and praise.
With joyful hearts and voices
Your alleluias raise.
By Him the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move;
Sing to the Lord of harvest
A joyous song of love.
2 God makes the clouds rain goodness;
The deserts bloom and spring.
The hills leap up in gladness;
The valleys laugh and sing.
God fills them with His fullness,
All things with large increase;
He crowns the year with blessing,
With plenty and with peace.
3 Bring to this sacred altar
The gifts His goodness gave,
The golden sheaves of harvest,
The souls Christ died to save.
Your hearts lay down before Him
When at His feet you fall,
And with your lives adore Him
Who gave His life for all. Topics: Thanksgiving Used With Tune: WIE LIEBLICH IST DER MAIEN

Earth, tell it out abroad,
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
From this world to the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over
With hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil
That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection light
And, listening to His accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own "All Hail!" and, hearing,
May raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin,
Let all the world keep triumph
And all that is therein.
Let all things, seen and unseen,
Their notes of gladness blend;
For Christ the Lord hath risen;
Our joy that hath no end.

How Lovely Is Your Dwelling
Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How lovely is your dwelling,
O Lord of hosts, to me;
my soul is longing, fainting,
the courts of God to see.
The beauty of your dwelling
will bring me joy anew.
My heart and flesh are crying,
O living God, for you.
2 Beneath your care the sparrow
finds place for peaceful rest;
to keep her young in safety
the swallow finds a nest.
So, Lord, my King Almighty,
your love will shelter me;
beneath your wings of mercy
my dwelling place will be.
3 Blest they who love and serve you,
whose joy and strength you are.
Forever they will praise you,
your ways are in their heart.
Though tried, their tears like showers
shall fill the springs of peace;
and all the way to Zion
their strength shall still increase.

O God of earth and altar
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
bow down and hear our cry,
our earthly rulers falter,
our people drift and die;
the walls of gold entomb us,
the swords of scorn divide,
take not thy thunder from us,
but take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
from lies of tongue and pen,
from all the easy speeches
that comfort cruel men,
from sale and profanation
of honour and the sword,
from sleep and from damnation,
deliver us, good Lord!
3 Tie in a living tether
the prince and priest and thrall,
bind all our lives together,
smite us and save us all;
in ire and exultation
aflame with faith, and free,
lift up a living nation,
a single sword to thee. Topics: Justice and Peace; Human Dignity; Justice; Nation and Society; National and Remembrance; Other Saints and Festivals George, Martyr, Patron of England; Sin; Social Concern Scripture: Proverbs 14:34 Used With Tune: KING'S LYNN
