O'er the distant mountains breaking

Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals First Line: O'er the distant mountains breaking Lyrics: 1 O'er the distant mountains breaking Comes the reddening dawn of day; Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking, Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray; 'Tis Thy Saviour, 'Tis Thy Saviour, On His bright returning way. 2 O Thou long-expected! Wear Waits my anxious soul for Thee; Life is dark, and earth is dreary, Where Thy light I do not see; O my Saviour, O my Saviour, When wilt Thou return to me? 3 Nearer is my soul's salvation, Spent the night, the day at hand; Keep me in my lowly station, Watching for Thee, till I stand, O my Saviour, O my Saviour, In Thy bright and promsied land. 4 With my lamp, well trimmed and burning, Swift to hear and slow to roam, Watching for Thy glad returning, To restore me to my home. Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour, Thou hast promised; quickly come.

Christ's kingdom never ceaseth, Its glory still increaseth. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name!

Rejoice, all ye believers

Appears in 336 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, The darker night is near, The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh. Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle,-- At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide-open stand: Up, up, ye heirs of glory. The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted; We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee!

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Hark! the choir of angel voices, Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted, To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee! Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He hath vanquished sin and Satan, He by death hath spoiled His foes. 3 Now our heavenly Aaron enters With His blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan. And the kings before Him quail; Now he plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 4 He hath raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with Him in glory stand: Jesus reigns adored by angels: Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own.

The happy Christmas comes once more

Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lyrics: 1 The happy Christmas comes once more, The heavenly Guest is at the door, The blessed words the shepherds thrill, The joyous tidings: Peace, Good will. 2 To David's city let us fly, Where angels sing beneath the sky, Through plain and village pressing near, And news from God with shepherds hear. 3 Oh, let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse's stem. 4 The lowly Saviour meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. 5 No human glory, might and gold, The lovely Infant's form enfold; The manger and the swaddlings poor Are His, whom angels' songs adore. 6 Oh, wake our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living son, from loving souls, Like sound of mighty waters rolls. 7 O holy Child, Thy manger streams Till earth and heaven glow with its beams, Till midnight noon's bright light has won, And Jacob's Star outshines the sun. 8 Thou Patriarchs' joy. Thou Prophets' song, Thou heavenly Day-Spring, looked for long, Thou Son of man, Incarnate Word, Great David's Son, great David's Lord! 9 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David's harp-strings, hushed so long, Shall swell our Jubilee of song.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Appears in 2,621 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, as vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave. 6 Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, Unworthy though I be, For me a blood-bought free reward, A golden harp for me. 7 'Tis strung and tuned for endless years, And formed by power divine To sound in God the Father's ears No other name but Thine.

Chorus: We love to sing around our King, And hail Him blessed Jesus! For there's no word ear ever heard So dear, so sweet as Jesus. 2 His human Name, they did proclaim When Abram's son they sealed Him, The Name that still, by God's good will, Deliverer revealed Him. 3 And when He hung upon the tree, They wrote this Name above Him, That all might see the reason we Forever more must love Him. 4 So now, upon His Father's throne. Almighty to release us From sin and pains, in glory reigns The Prince and Saviour Jesus. 5 To Jesus every knee shall bow, And every tongue confess Him, And we unite with saints in light, To honor and to bless Him. 6 O Jesus, by that matchless Name, Thy grace shall fail us never; To-day as yesterday the same, Thou art the same for ever.

To realms of glory I behold

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold My risen Lord returning; While I, a stranger on the earth, For heaven am ever yearning. Far from my heavenly Father's home 'Mid toil and sorrow here I roam. 2 Far from my home--how long, dear Lord, Before my exile endeth? But far beyond the realms of sense My fervent prayer ascendeth: My prayer, unuttered, but a groan, Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne. 3 Then visions of the goodly land By faith my soul obtaineth; There I shall dwell for evermore Where Christ in glory reigneth, In mansions of that blest abode-- The city of the living God. 4 In that blest city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure and my heart Safe in my Saviour's keeping: In heaven, my blessed Lord, with Thee, May all my conversation be. 5 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. That day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 6 And blessed shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee, In joy and peace eternally.
