Let Us All With Grateful Praises

Author: Joseph Hart, 1712-1768 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us all with grateful praises Celebrate the happy day, When the lovely, loving Jesus First partook of human clay: When the heavenly host assembled, Gazed with wonder from the sky: Angels joyed and devils trembled, Neither fully knowing why. 2 Long had Satan reigned imperious, Till the woman’s promised seed, Born a babe by birth mysterious, Came to bruise the serpent’s head. Crush, dear Babe, his power within us, Break our chains, and set us free. Pull down all the bars between us, ’Till we fly, and cleave to Thee. 3 Shepherds on their flocks attending, Shepherds that in nighttime watched, Saw the messenger descending From the court of Heav’n dispatched. Beams of glory decked his mission, Bursting through the veil of night. Fear possessed them at the vision: Sinners tremble at the light. 4 Dove-like meekness graced his visage; Joy and love shone round his head. Soon he cheered them with his message: Comfort flowed from all he said. “Fear not, favorites of th’Almighty, Joyful news to you I bring. You have now, in David’s city, Born, a Savior, Christ the King. 5 "Go and find the royal Stranger By these signs. A babe you’ll see, Weak, and lying in a manger, Wrapped and swaddled; that is He." Straight a host of angels glorious Round the heav’nly herald throng, Utt’ring, in harmonious chorus, Airs divine, this the song— 6 "Glory first to God be given In the highest heights; and then Peace on earth, proclaimed by Heaven, Peace, and great good will to men." Thus they sang, with rapture kindling In the shepherds’ hearts a flame, Joy and wonder sweetly mingling: All believers feel the same. 7 Lo, sweet Babe, we fall before Thee. Jesus, Thee we all adore. To Thee, kingdom, power and glory, We ascribe forevermore. Glory to our God be given In the highest heights; and then Peace on earth brought down from Heaven, Peace, and great good will to men.

In the name which earth and heaven

Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Meter: 8.7 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the name which earth and heaven, Ever worship, praise, and fear, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Shall a house be builded here: Here with prayer its deep foundations, In the faith of Christ, we lay, Trusting by His help to crown it, With the top-stone in its day. 2 Here as in their due succession Stone on stone the workmen place, Thus, we pray, unseen but surely, Jesu, build us up in grace; Till, within these walls completed, We complete in Thee are found; And to Thee, the one Foundation, Strong and living stones, are bound. 3 Fair shall be Thine earthly temple: Here the careless passer-by Shall bethink him, in its beauty, Of the holier House on high; Weary hearts and troubled spirits Here shall find a still retreat; Sinful souls shall bring their burden Here to the Absolver's feet. 4 Yet with truer, nobler beauty, Lord, we pray, this house adorn, Where Thy Bride, Thy Church redeemèd, Robes her for her marriage morn; Clothed in garments of salvation, Rich with gems of heavenly grace, Spouse of Christ, arrayed and waiting Till she may behold His face. 5 Here in due and solemn order May her ceaseless prayer arise; Here may strains of holy gladness Lift her heart above the skies; Here the word of life be spoken; Here the child of God be sealed; Here the Bread of Heaven be broken, "Till He come," Himself revealed. 6 Praise to Thee, O Master-Builder, Maker of the earth and skies; Praise to Thee, in Whom Thy temple Fitly framed, together lies; Praise to Thee, eternal Spirit, Binding all that lives in one: Till our earthly praise be ended, And the eternal song begun! Amen. Topics: Laying of a Corner-Stone Used With Tune: [In the name which earth and heaven]

God Is with Us

Author: Walter J. Mathams Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: God is with us, God is with us Lyrics: 1. God is with us, God is with us, So our brave forefathers sang, Far across the field of battle Loud their holy war cry rang; Though at times they feared and faltered, Never once they ceased to sing: God is with us, God is with us, Christ our Lord shall reign as King! 2. Great the heritage they left us, Great the conquests to be won, Armèd hosts to meet and scatter, Larger duties to be done. Raise the song they nobly taught us, Round the wide world let it ring: God is with us, God is with us, Christ our Lord shall reign as King! 3. Speed the cross through all the nations, Speed the victories of love, Preach the Gospel of redemption Wheresoever men may move; Make the future in the present, Strong of heart, toil on and sing: God is with us, God is with us, Christ our Lord shall reign as King!

Tänk uti din ungdoms dagar

Author: Joel Blomqvist Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Tänk uti din ungdoms dagar På din skapare och Gud! O, "min son, gif mig ditt hjärta," Lyder än din Herres bud. Om och världen dig behagar, Då hon vänligt mot dig ler, Hennes fröjd förbyts i smärta, Hon till sist dig öfverger. 2 Säll den yngling, som ej nöjer Sig med världens falska fröjd, Som vid hennes usla brunnar Aldrig känner sig förnöjd. Lycklig den sig tidigt böjer Ödmjukt för sin Gud och hör Ordet, som han oss förkunnar, Tror det och därefter gör. Topics: Väckelse och Inbjudning; Invitation Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
