Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals First Line: The promise of My Father’s love Lyrics: 1 "The promise of My Father’s love Shall stand for ever good," He said, and gave His soul to death, And sealed the grace with blood. 2 To this dear covenant of Thy Word I set my worthless name; I seal th’engagement to my Lord, And make my humble claim. 3 The light, and strength, and pardoning grace, And glory shall be mine; My life and soul, my heart and flesh, And all my powers are Thine. 4 I call that legacy my own Which Jesus did bequeath; ’Twas purchased with a dying groan, And ratified in death. 5 Sweet is the memory of His name, Who blessed us in His will, And to His testament of love Made His own life the seal.

Author: A. C. H. Seymour, 1789-1870 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, immortal King, arise; Assert Thy rightful away, Till earth, subdued, its tribute brings, And distant lands obey. 2 Ride forth, victorious Conqueror, ride, Till all Thy foes submit, And all the powers of hell resign Their trophies at Thy feet. 3 Send forth Thy word, and let it fly The spacious earth around, Till every soul beneath the sky Shall hear the joyful sound. 4 O may the great Redeemer's name Through very clime be known! And heathen gods, forsaken, fall, And Jesus reign alone. 5 From sea to sea, from shore to shore, Be Thou, O Christ, adored! And earth, with all her millions, shout, Hosannas to the Lord.
