O Lord, Thou Hast Ascended

Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Revelation Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thou hast ascended on high in might to reign; captivity Thou leadest a captive in Thy train. Rich gifts to Thee are offered by men who did rebel, who pray that now Jehovah, their God, with them may dwell. 2 Blest be the Lord who daily our heavy burden bears, the God of our salvation, who for His people cares. Our God is near to help us, our God is strong to save; the LORD alone is able to ransom from the grave. 3 Sing unto God, ye nations, ye kingdoms of the earth; sing unto God, all people, and praise His matchless worth. He rides in royal triumph upon the heav'ns abroad; He speaks, the mountains tremble before the voice of God. 4 All glory, might, and honor ascribe to God on high; His arm protects His people who on His pow'r rely. Forth from Thy holy dwelling Thine awful glories shine; Thou strengthenest Thy people; unending praise be Thine. Scripture: Psalm 68 Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Thine wholly, Thine alone, I am; be Thou my Rod and Staff and Guide. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul may dwell, but Thy pure love alone! O may Thy love possess my whole, my Joy, my Treasure, and my Crown. All coldness from my heart remove; my ev'ry act, word, thought, be love. 3 O love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies; care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, nothing desire or seek, but Thee. 4 This love unwearied I pursue and dauntlessly to Thee aspire. O may Thy love my hope renew, burn in my soul like heav'nly fire. And day and night, be all my care to guard this sacred treasure there. Used With Tune: RYBURN

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy pow'r hath founded of old; hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light. It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Bridges (1844-1930) Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables Lyrics: 1 Happy are they, they that love God, whose hearts have Christ confessed; who by his cross have found their life, beneath his yoke, their rest. 2 Glad is the praise, sweet are the songs, when they together sing; and strong the prayers that bow the ear of heaven’s eternal king. 3 Christ gives their homes pleasure and peace and makes their loves his own; but O what weeds the evil one has in God's garden sown! 4 Sad were our lot, evil this earth did not its sorrows prove the path by which the sheep may find the fold of Jesus’ love. 5 Then shall they know, they that love him, how good shall come from pain; and death itself cannot unbind their happiness again.
