Sing Unto the Lord

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Lord, I will praise Thy name Lyrics: 1 Lord, I will praise Thy Name, For Thou hast set me free, Nor suffered foes to claim A triumph over me; O Lord, my God, to Thee I cried And Thou hast health and strength supplied, And Thou hast health and strength supplied. 2 Thou hast my soul restored When I was near the grave, And from the depths, O Lord, Thou graciously didst save; O ye His saints, sing to the Lord, With thanks His holiness record, With thanks His holiness record. 3 His wrath is quickly past, His favor lives for aye; Tho' grief a night may last, Joy comes at break of day; In my prosperity secure I said, My peace shall still endure; I said, My peace shall still endure.

A Good High Priest Is Come

Author: John Cennick Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A good High Priest is come, supplying Aaron's place, and taking up his room, dispensing life and grace; the law by Aaron's priesthood came, but grace and truth by Jesus' name. 2 He once temptations knew of every sort and kind, that He might succor show to every tempted mind; in every point the Lamb was tried like us, and then for us He died. 3 He died, but lives again, and by the throne He stands, there shows how He was slain, op'ning His piercéd hands; our Priest abides and pleads the cause of us who have transgressed His laws. 4 I other priests disclaim, and laws and off'rings too; none but the bleeding Lamb the mighty work can do; He shall have all the praise: for He has loved, and died, and lives for me.

We shall from all our sins be free. 5. Then let us gladly bring Our sacrifice of praise; Let us give thanks and sing And glory in His grace. Rejoice in hope; rejoice with me.

Fight the good fight

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: Fight the good fight; lay hold Lyrics: Fight the good fight; lay hold Upon eternal life; Keep but thy shield, be bold, Stand through the hottest strife; Invincible while in the field, Thou canst not fail, unless thou yield. No force of earth or hell, Though fiends with men unite, 162 Truth's champion can compel, However press'd, to flight; Invincible upon the field, He cannot fall, unless he yield. Apollyon's arm may shower Darts thick as hail, and hide Heaven's face, as in the hour, When Christ on Calvary died; No powers of darkness in the field Can tread thee down, unless thou yield. Trust in thy Saviour's might; Yea, fill thy latest breath, Fight, and like Him in fight, By dying conquer death; And all-victorious in the field, Then with thy sword, thy spirit yield. Great words are these, and strong Yet Lord, I look to Thee, To whom alone belong, Valour and victory; With Thee, my Captain in the field, I must prevail, I cannot yield. Topics: Christ His fight and conquest

Let Earth and Heaven Combine

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let earth and Heaven combine, Angels and men agree, To praise in songs divine The incarnate Deity, Our God contracted to a span, Incomprehensibly made man. 2. He laid His glory by, He wrapped Him in our clay; Unmarked by human eye, The latent Godhead lay; Infant of days He here became, And bore the mild Immanuel’s name. 3. See in that infant’s face The depths of deity, And labor while ye gaze To sound the mystery In vain; ye angels gaze no more, But fall, and silently adore. 4. Unsearchable the love That hath the Savior brought; The grace is far above Of men or angels’ thought: Suffice for us that God, we know, Our God, is manifest below. 5. He deigns in flesh t’appear, Widest extremes to join; To bring our vileness near, And make us all divine: And we the life of God shall know, For God is manifest below. 6. Made perfect first in love, And sanctified by grace, We shall from earth remove, And see His glorious face: His love shall then be fully showed, And man shall all be lost in God. Used With Tune: ST. JOHN (Parish) Text Sources: Hymns for the Nativity of Our Lord (London: William Strahan, 1745), number 5
