This day be grateful homage paid, And loud hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in every heart, And praise on every tongue. 4. Ten thousand different lips shall join To hail this welcome morn, Which scatters blessings from its wings To nations yet unborn.

All Glory to God in the Sky

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All glory to God in the sky, And peace upon earth be restored! O Jesus, exalted on high, Appear our omnipotent Lord: Who meanly in Bethlehem born, Didst stoop to redeem a lost race, Once more to Thy creature return, And reign in Thy kingdom of grace. 2. When Thou in our flesh didst appear, All nature acknowledged Thy birth; Arose the acceptable year, And Heaven was opened on earth. Receiving its Lord from above, The world was united to bless The Giver of concord and love, The Prince and the Author of peace. 3. O wouldst Thou again be made known, Again in Thy Spirit descend, And set up in each of Thine own A kingdom that never shall end! Thou only art able to bless, And make the glad nations obey, And bid the dire enmity cease, And bow the whole world to Thy sway. 4. Come then to Thy servants again, Who long Thy appearing to know, Thy quiet and peaceable reign, In mercy establish below: All sorrow before Thee shall fly, And anger and hatred be o’er, And envy and malice shall die, And discord afflict us no more. 5. No horrid alarm of war Shall break our eternal repose; No sound of the trumpet is there, Where Jesus’ Spirit o’erflows: Appeased by the charms of Thy grace We all shall in amity join, And kindly each other embrace, And love with a passion like Thine.

All Nature's Works His Praise Declare

Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All nature’s works His praise declare, to whom they all belong; There is a voice in every star, in every breeze a song. Sweet music fills the world abroad with strains of love and power; The stormy sea sings praise to God, the thunder and the shower. 2. To God the tribes of ocean cry, and birds upon the wing; To God the powers that dwell on high their tuneful tribute bring. Like them, let us the throne surround, with them loud chorus raise, While instruments of loftier sound assist our feeble praise. 3. Great God, to Thee we consecrate our voices and our skill; We bid the pealing organ wait to speak alone Thy will.

Amidst us our Belovèd stands, And bids us view His piercèd hands; Points to the wounded feet and side, Blest emblems of the Crucified. 2. What food luxurious loads the board, When at His table sits the Lord! The wine how rich, the bread how sweet, When Jesus deigns the guests to meet! 3.

Thou glorious Bridegroom of our hearts, Thy present smile a heav’n imparts! Oh lift the veil, if veil there be, Let every saint Thy beauties see! Used With Tune: HAMBURG
