What Grace, O Lord, and Beauty
Come, Let Us Lift Our Voices High
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us lift our voices high,
High as our joys arise,
And join the songs above the sky,
Where pleasure never dies.
2 Jesus, the God that fought and bled,
And conquered when He fell;
That rose, and at His chariot wheels
Dragged all the powers of hell.
3 Jesus, our God, invites us here
To this triumphal feast,
And brings immortal blessings down
For each redeemed guest.
4 The Lord, how glorious is His face!
How kind His smiles appear!
And oh! what melting words He says
To every humble ear.
“For you, the children of My love,
It was for you I died;
Behold My hands, behold My feet,
And look into My side!
“These are the wounds for you I bore,
The tokens of My pains,
When I came down to free your souls
From misery and chains.
“Justice unsheathed its fiery sword,
And plunged it in My heart;
Infinite pangs for you I bore,
And most tormenting smart.
“When hell, and all its spiteful powers,
Stood dreadful in My way,
To rescue those dear lives of yours,
I gave My own away.
5 “But while I bled, and groaned, and died,
I ruined Satan’s throne;
High on My cross I hung, and spied
The monster tumbling down.
6 Now you must triumph at My feast,
And taste My flesh, My blood,
And live eternal ages blest,
For ’tis immortal food.
7 Victorious God! what can we pay
For favors so divine?
We would devote our hearts away
To be for ever Thine.
8 We give Thee, Lord, our highest praise,
The tribute of our tongues;
But themes so infinite as these
Exceed our noblest songs. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1709, Book III

Eternal Sovereign Of The Sky
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal sovereign of the sky,
And Lord of all below;
We mortals to Thy majesty
Our first obedience owe.
2 Our souls adore Thy throne supreme,
And bless Thy providence,
For magistrates of meaner name,
Our glory and defense.
3 The crowns of British princes shine
With rays above the rest,
Where laws and liberties combine
To make the nation blessed.
4 Kingdoms on firm foundations stand,
While virtue finds reward;
And sinners perish from the land
By justice and the sword.
5 Let Cæsar’s due be ever paid
To Cæsar and his throne;
But consciences and souls were made
To be the Lord’s alone. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-9, Book II

All Thy Mercies
Great King Of Glory And Of Grace
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals First Line: Great King of glory and of grace! Lyrics: 1 Great King of glory and of grace!
We own with humble shame,
How vile is our degenerate race,
And our first father’s name.
2 From Adam flows our tainted blood,
The poison reigns within:
Makes us averse to all that’s good,
And willing slaves to sin.
3 Daily we break Thy holy laws,
And then reject Thy grace;
Engaged in the old serpent’s cause,
Against our Maker’s face.
4 We live estranged afar from God,
And love the distance well;
With haste we run the dangerous road
That leads to death and hell.
5 And can such rebels be restored?
Such natures made divine?
Let sinners see Thy glory, Lord,
And feel this power of Thine.
6 We raise our Father’s name on high
Who His own Spirit sends
To bring rebellious strangers nigh,
And turn His foes to friends. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Divine and Moral Songs, 1707-09, Book 2

The Mercies Of My God And King
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The mercies of my God and King
My tongue shall still pursue:
O happy they who, while they sing
Those mercies, share them too!
2 As bright and lasting as the sun,
As lofty as the sky,
From age to age Thy truth shall run,
And chance and change defy.
3 The covenant of the King of kings
Shall stand for ever sure;
And ’neath the shadow of Thy wings
Thy saints repose secure.
4 Thine is the earth, and Thine the skies,
Created at Thy will:
The waves at Thy command arise,
At Thy command are still.
5 In earth below, in Heav’n above,
Who, who is Lord like Thee?
O spread the Gospel of Thy love
Till all Thy glories see. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: The Spirit of the Psalms, 1834

Rejoice, Believer, in the Lord
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,
who makes your cause his own;
the hope that's built upon his word
shall ne'er be overthrown.
2 Though many foes beset your road,
and feeble is your arm,
your life is hid with Christ in God
beyond the reach of harm.
3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint
or fainting shall not die!
For Jesus, strength of ev'ry saint,
will aid you from on high.
4 Though unperceived by mortal sense,
faith sees him always near!
a guide, a glory, sure defense;
then what have you to fear?
5 As surely as he overcame
and triumphed once for you,
so surely you that love his name
shall in him triumph too. Topics: Christ As Conqueror; Christian Life; Christians Triumph of; Hope; Rejoicing in God Scripture: Colossians 3:3 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

We Walk by Faith
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals First Line: We walk by faith, and not by sight Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight:
No gracious words we hear
Of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
But we believe him near.
2 We may not touch his hands and side,
Nor follow where he trod;
Yet in his promise we rejoice
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
And may our faith abound;
To call on you when you are near,
And seek where you are found:
4 That when our life of faith is done
In realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are
In full and endless sight.
