The Lord is King! lift up thy voice
Come, join the kingly banquet, free
Appears in 1 hymnal Used With Tune: GILLINGHAM
Come, join the kingly banquet, free
The morning kindles all the sky
Author: Ambrosian Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The morning kindles all the sky,
The heavens resound with anthems high
The shining angels, as they speed,
Proclaim, "The Lord is risen indeed!"
2 Vainly with rocks his tomb was barred,
While Roman warriors stood on guard.
Majestic from the spoiled tomb
In pomp of triumph, he has come!
3 When the amazed disciples heard,
Their hearts with speechless joy were stirred;
Their Lord's beloved face to see,
Eager they haste to Galilee.
4 His pierced hands to them he shows,
His face with love's own radiance glows;
They with the angels' message speed,
And shout, "The Lord is risen indeed!"
5 O Christ, thou King compassionate!
Our hearts possess, on thee we wait;
Help us to render praises due,
To thee the endless ages through! Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension Used With Tune: BROCKHAM

Lord Jesus, Let Thy Watchful Care
Author: Edward Swaine Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Lord Jesus, let Thy watchful care
Thy faithful love, our brethren tend;
Their hearts sustain, their way prepare
And safely guide them to the end.
2. Be with them on the stormy deep;
Be with them in the silent hour;
By sea or land, awake, asleep,
Be Thou their helper, strength, and tower.
3. Maintain them through their earthly strife,
So running as to win the race;
Each holding forth the word of life,
A light to lighten future days.
4. Go, brethren, go! with cheerful voice
We bid you go—a blessed leav’n—
Go, win the country of your choice
For truth, and liberty, and Heav’n. Used With Tune: BROCKHAM Text Sources: New Congregational Hymn Book, 1855
Lord Jesus, Let Thy Watchful Care
Lord, Thou Hast Seen My Soul Sincere
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, Thou hast seen my soul sincere,
Hast made Thy truth and love appear;
Before mine eyes I set Thy laws,
And Thou hast owned my righteous cause.
2. Since I have learned Thy holy ways,
I’ve walked upright before Thy face;
Or if my feet did e’er depart,
’Twas never with a wicked heart.
3. What sore temptations broke my rest!
What wars and strugglings in my breast!
But through Thy grace, that reigns within,
I guard against my darling sin:
4. That sin which close besets me still,
That works and strives against my will:
When shall Thy Spirit’s sovereign power
Destroy it, that it rise no more?
5. With an impartial hand, the Lord
Deals out to mortals their reward;
The kind and faithful souls shall find
A God as faithful and as kind.
6. The just and pure shall ever say
Thou art more pure, more just than they;
And men that love revenge shall know
God hath an arm of vengeance, too. Used With Tune: BROCKHAM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Lord, Thou Hast Seen My Soul Sincere
He Sat to Watch O'er Customs Paid
Author: William Bright Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o'er customs paid,
a man of scorned and hard'ning trade;
alike the symbol and the tool
of foreign masters' hated rule.
2 But grace within his heart had stirred;
there needed but the timely word;
it came, true Lord of souls, from thee,
that royal summons, "Follow me!"
3 Enough, when thou wast passing by,
to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye;
he rose, responsive to the call
and left his task, his gains, his all.
4 O wise exchange! with these to part,
and lay up treasures in the heart;
let them of Matthew's wealth partake,
who yield up all for Jesus' sake.

On Olivet a Little Band
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. On Olivet a little band
Around their risen Master stand:
And after charge and blessing giv’n,
He passeth from them into Heav’n.
2. Wistful their eyes, but angels twain
Cheer them with glorious words: Again
One day shall Jesus even so
Return, as ye have seen Him go.
3. Till then in Heav’n He doth remain,
True God, at God’s right hand to reign,
True Man, at human woes to grieve,
True God, almighty to relieve.
4. For every soul in every need
He ever lives to intercede,
Presenting there within the veil
A sacrifice that cannot fail.
5. Our heav’nly great high priest He stands:
By piercèd feet, and piercèd hands,
By bleeding brow and ’riven side,
He lives to plead for whom He died!
6. Whom have we, Lord, in Heav’n but Thee?
Like ships safe moored on stormy sea
Our souls in peril, with Thee there
Find anchorage of hope and prayer.
7. Set loose from earth, and evermore
Fast bound to that eternal shore,
So all our life and love shall be,
Ascended Master, hid with Thee! Used With Tune: BROCKHAM Text Sources: Lyra Fidelium; Twelve Hymns of the Twelve Articles of the Apostle's Creed (London: Messrs. Parker and Co., 1866)
On Olivet a Little Band
Lord, if Thou Dost Not Soon Appear
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, if Thou dost not soon appear,
Virtue and truth will fly away;
A faithful man amongst us here
Will scarce be found, if Thou delay.
2. The whole discourse, when neighbors meet,
Is filled with trifles loose and vain;
Their lips are flattery and deceit,
And their proud language is profane.
3. But lips that with deceit abound
Shall not maintain their triumph long;
The God of vengeance will confound
The flattering and blaspheming tongue.
4. Yet shall our words be free, they cry;
Our tongues shall be controlled by none:
Where is the Lord will ask us why?
Or say our lips are not our own?
5. The Lord, who sees the poor oppressed,
And hears th’oppressor’s haughty strain,
Will rise to give His children rest,
Nor shall they trust His Word in vain.
6. Thy Word, O Lord, though often tried,
Void of deceit shall still appear;
Not silver, seven times purified,
From dross, and mixture, shines so clear.
7. Thy grace shall in the darkest hour
Defend the holy soul from harm;
Though when the vilest men have power,
On every side will sinners swarm. Used With Tune: BROCKHAM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
