Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to Heaven

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 225 hymnals Topics: Powers of Darkness First Line: Alleluia, alleluia! Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise. Sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise. He who on the cross a victim for the world’s salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead. 2 Alleluia, Christ is risen! Death at last has met defeat. See the ancient powers of evil in confusion and retreat. Once he died and once was buried; now he lives forevermore— Jesus Christ, the world’s Redeemer, whom we worship and adore. 3 Christ is risen, Christ the first fruits of the holy harvest yield, which will all its full abundance at his second coming yield. Then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before him wave, ripened by his glorious sunshine from the furrows of the grave. 4 Alleluia, alleluia! Glory be to God on high; alleluia! to the Savior, who has won the victory; alleluia! to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity; alleluia, alleluia! to the triune Majesty.

Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 269 hymnals Topics: Powers of Darkness First Line: At the name of Jesus Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now; 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight: all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heavenly orders in their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners, unto whom he came; faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious when from death he passed; 4 bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast; filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true. Look to him, your Savior, in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory, o'er the earth to reign; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now. Scripture: Psalm 33:6-9 Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON

This is my Father’s world; he shines in all that’s fair. In the rustling grass I hear him pass; he speaks to me everywhere. 3 This is my Father’s world; oh, let me not forget that, though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father’s world; why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King, let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad. Scripture: Genesis 1:28 Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA

Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, ever be my strength and shield, ever be my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside.

Comfort derived from ancient Providence; or, Israel delivered from Egypt, and brought to Canaan

Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Hope in darkness; Patience in darkness First Line: How awful is thy chast'ning Rod? Lyrics: 1 "How awful is thy chast'ning Rod? "(May thy own Children say) "The Great, the Wise, the dreadful GOD! How holy is his Way !" 2 I'll meditate his Works of old; The King that reigns above, I'll hear his ancient Wonders told, And learn to trust his Love. 3 Long did the House of Joseph lie With Egypt's Yoke opprest; Long he delay'd to hear their Cry, Nor gave his People Rest. 4 The Sons of good old Jacob seem'd Abandon'd to their Foes; But his Almighty Arm redeem'd The Nation that he chose. 5 Isr'el, his People, and his Sheep, Must follow where he calls; He bid them venture through the Deep, And made the Waves their Walls. 5 The Waters saw Thee, mighty GOD, The Waters saw Thee come; Backward they fled, and frighted stood, To make thine Armies Room. 7 Strange was thy Journey through the Sea, Thy footsteps, Lord, unknown; Terrors attend the wond'rous Way That brings thy Mercies down. 8 [Thy Voice, with Terror in the Sound, Through Clouds and Darkness broke; All Heav'n in Lightning shone around, And Earth with Thunder shook. 9 Thine Arrows through the Skies were hurl'd; How glorious is the Lord! Surprize and Trembling seiz'd the World, And his own Saints ador'd. 10 He gave them Water from the Rock; And safe, by Moses' Hand, Through a dry Desert led his Flock Home to the promis'd Land.] Scripture: Psalm 77

Complaint of heavy Afflictions in Mind and Body

Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Hope in darkness; Hope in darkness First Line: My righteous Judge, my gracious God Lyrics: 1 My righteous Judge, my gracious God, Hear when I spread my hands abroad, And cry for succour from thy throne, O make thy truth and mercy known. 2 Let judgment not against me pass: Behold thy servant pleads thy grace; Should justice call us to thy bar, No man alive is guiltless there. 3 Look down in pity, Lord, and see The mighty woes that burthen me; Down to the dust my life is brought, Like one long bury'd and forgot. 4 I dwell in darkness and unseen, My heart is desolate within: My thoughts in musing silence trace The antient wonders of thy grace. 5 Thence I derive a glimpse of hope To bear my sinking spirits up; I stretch my hands to God again, And thirst like parched lands for rain. 6 For thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn; When will thy smiling face return? Shall all my joys on earth remove, And God forever hide his love? 7 My God, thy long delay to save, Will sink thy prisoner to the grave; My heart grows faint, and dim mine eye; Make haste to help before I die. 8 The night is witness to my tears, Distressing pains, distressing fears; Oh might I hear thy morning voice, How would my weary powers rejoice! 9 In thee I trust, to thee I sigh, And lift my weary soul on high; For thee sit waiting all the day, And wear the tiresome hours away. 10 Break off my fetters, Lord, and show The paths in which my feet should go: If snares and foes beset the road, I'll flee to hide me near my God. 11 Teach me to do thy holy will, And lead me to thy heavenly hill: Let the good spirit of thy love Conduct me to thy courts above. 12 Then shall my soul no more complain, The tempter then shall rage in vain; And flesh that was my foe before, Shall never vex my spirit more. Scripture: Psalm 143
