O Sing a New Song to the Lord

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sing a new song to the LORD, sing all the earth and bless His name; from day to day His praise record, the LORD's redeeming grace proclaim. 2 Tell all the world God's wondrous ways, tell heathen nations far and near; great is the LORD, and great His praise; the Him alone, let nations fear. 3 The heathen gods are idols vain; the shining heav'ns the LORD supports; both light and honor lead His train; while strength and beauty fill His courts. 4 Let every tongue and every tribe give to the LORD due praise and sing; all glory unto Him ascribe, come, throng His courts, and off'rings bring. 5 O fear and bow, adorned with grace, and tell each land that God is King; the earth He founded in its place, and justice to the world will bring. 6 Let heav'n be glad, let earth rejoice, the teeming sea resound with praise; let waving fields lift high their voice, and all the trees their anthem raise. 7 So let them shout before our God, for lo, He comes, He comes with might, to wield the scepter and the rod, to judge the world with truth and right.

Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 94 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns; through distant lands his triumphs spread; and sinners, freed from endless pains, own him their Savior and their Head. 2 He calls his chosen from afar, they all at Zion's gates arrive; those who were dead in sin before by sovereign grace are made alive. 3 Gentiles and Jews his laws obey; nations remote their off'rings bring, and unconstrained their homage pay to their exalted God and King. 4 O may his holy church increase, his Word and Spirit still prevail, while angels celebrate his praise, and saints his growing glories hail. 5 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, from all below, and all above! In lofty songs exalt his name, in songs as lasting as his love.

Our Lord is risen from the dead

Author: Charles Wesley; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 453 hymnals Lyrics: Our Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led, Dragged to the portals of the sky. There his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates," Ye everlasting doors, give way. Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as his right; Receive the King of glory in. Who is the King of glory, Who? The Lord that all his foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the Conqueror's name. Lo! His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates," Ye everlasting doors, give way. 173 Who is the King of glory, Who? The Lord, of boundless power possessed, The King of saints and angels too, God, over all, for ever blest. Topics: The Ascension Day Used With Tune: TRURO

Father of mercies, bow thine ear

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 195 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, bow thine ear, Attentive to our earnest prayer: We plead for those who plead for thee; Successful pleaders may they be. 2 O clothe their words with power divine, And let those words be ever thine; To them thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 3 Teach them to sow the precious seed; Teach them thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them the souls of men to gain; Nor let them labor, Lord, in vain. 4 Let thronging multitudes around Hear from their lips the joyful sound, In humble strains thy grace implore, And feel thy Spirit's living power.

Omniscience--Ps. 139

Appears in 327 hymnals First Line: Lord! thou hast searched and seen me thro' Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast searched and seen me thro'; Thine eye commands, with piercing view, My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh, with all their powers. 2 My thoughts, before they are my own, Are to my God distinctly known; He knows the words I mean to speak, Ere from my opening lips they break. 3 Within thy circling power I stand; On every side I find thy hand; Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, I am surrounded still with God. 4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great! What large extent! what lofty height! My soul, with all the powers I boast, Is in the boundless prospect lost. 5 Oh, may these thoughts possess my breast, Where’er I rove, where’er I rest; Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there.
