For thy blest saints, a noble throng

Author: Cecil Francis Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #276 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. For thy blest saints, a noble throng, who fell by fire and sword, or early died or flourished long, we praise thy Name, 0 Lord. 2. For James who left his father's side, not lingering by the sea: he heard what could not be denied, thy summons, "Follow me"; 3. he stood with thee beside the dead; he climbed the mount with thee, and saw the glory round thy head, one of thy chosen three; 4. he knelt beneath the olive shade; he drank thy cup of pain; and slain by Herod's flashing blade, he saw thy face again. 5. Lord, may we learn to drink thy cup, and meek and firm be found, when thou shalt come to take us up where thine elect are crowned.

Sing to the Lord, Ye Heav'nly Hosts

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6115 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord, ye heav’nly hosts, And thou, O earth, adore; Let death and hell through all their coasts Stand trembling at His power. 2. His sounding chariot shakes the sky, He makes the clouds His throne; There all His stores of lightning lie, Till vengeance darts them down. 3. His nostrils breathe out fiery streams And from His awful tongue A sovereign voice divides the flames, And thunder roars along. 4. Think, O my soul! the dreadful day, When this incensèd God Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea, And fling His wrath abroad. 5. What shall the wretch, the sinner do? He once defied the Lord; But he shall dread the Thund’rer now, And sink beneath His Word. 6. Tempests of angry fire shall roll To blast the rebel worm, And beat upon his naked soul In one eternal storm. Languages: English Tune Title: AWFUL MAJESTY
