We sing the glorious conquest

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest before Damascus gate, when Saul, the church's spoiler, came breathing threats and hate; the ravening wolf rushed forward full early to the prey; but lo, the Shepherd met him, and bound him fast to-day. *2 O glory most excelling that smote across his path, O light that pierced and blinded the zealot in his wrath, O voice that spake within him the calm reproving word, O love that sought and held him the bondman of his Lord! 3 O wisdom, ordering all things in order strong and sweet, what nobler spoil was ever cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder e'er wrought at thine employ than he, till now so furious your building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach thy church the lesson, still in her darkest hour of weakness and of danger to trust thy hidden power: thy grace by ways mysterious the wrath of man can bind, and in thy boldest foeman thy chosen saint can find.

Through Jesus' Blood and Merit

Author: Simon Dach, 1605-59 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through Jesus' blood and merit I am at peace with God; What, then, can daunt my spirit, However dark my road? My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Though hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride. 2 There's nothing that can sever From this great love of God; No want, no pain whatever, No famine, peril, flood. Though thousand foes surround me, For slaughter mark his sheep, They never shall confound me, The vict'ry I shall reap. 3 Oh, neither life's temptation Nor death's so trying hour Nor angels of high station Nor any other pow'r Nor things that now are present Nor things that are to come Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depth of deepest gloom 4 Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God This wretched sinner sever; For in my Savior's blood This love has its foundation; God hears my faithful prayer And long before creation Owns me his child and heir.

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: C. Woodsworth, 1807-85 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 827 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee the high and lowly, Before th'eternal throne, Sing, "Holy, holy, holy," To the great Three in One. 2 On thee at the Creation The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depth of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heav'n; And thus on thee, most glorious, A three-fold light was giv'n. 3 Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Nebo's mountain, We view our Promised Land; A day of sweet reflection, A day of holy love, A day of resurrection From earth to things above. 4 Today on weary nations The heav'nly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Topics: Christian Freedom; Trinity 17 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Rejoice, rejoice, believers!

Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 334 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers! And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon he will draw nigh; Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet him as he cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Till in your jubilations Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 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 days of earth's redemption, And ever be with thee! Amen. Used With Tune: ZOAN
