'Twas on that night
Author: John Morison, 1750-1798 Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases First Line: 'Twas on that night when doomed to know Lyrics: 1 'Twas on that night when doomed to know
the eager rage of every foe,
that night in which he was betrayed,
the Saviour of the world took bread,
2 and after thanks and glory given
to God who rules in earth and heaven,
that symbol of his flesh he broke,
and thus to all his followers spoke:
3 "My broken body thus I give
for you, for all; take, eat and live;
and oft the sacred rite renew
that brings my saving love to view."
4 Then in his hands the cup he raised
and God anew he thanked and praised;
the fullness of God's grace he showed,
and from his lips salvation flowed.
5 "My blood I thus pour forth," he cries,
"to cleanse the soul in sin that lies;
in this the covenant is sealed,
and heaven's eternal grace revealed.
6 "With suffering love this cup is given;
let all partake the wine of heaven,
and when you gather, let it pour
in living memory of this hour." Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, alt.
'Twas on that night
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,846 hymnals Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases First Line: Jesus shall reign where'er the sun (Úr lesz a Jézus mendenütt) Lyrics: Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
does its successive journeys run;
his kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
till moons shall wax and wane no more.
For him shall endless prayer be made,
and praises throng to crown his head;
his name like fragrance sweet shall rise
with every morning sacrifice.
People and realms of every tongue
dwell on his love with sweetest song,
and infant voices shall proclaim
their early blessings on his name.
Blessings abound where'er he reigns:
the prisoners leap to lose their chains;
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.
Let every creature rise and bring
the honours due our glorious King;
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the long Amen.

1 Úr lesz a Jézus mindenütt,
Hol csak a napnak fénye süt,
úr lesz a messze tengerig,
Hol a hold nem fogy, s nem telik.
2 Őneki mondjunk hő imát,
Díszítsük azzal homlokát,
Jó illat légyen szent neve,
Minden napon dicsérete.
3 Országok, népek és nyelvek,
Ő dicsőségét zengjétek,
Gyermekek hangja hirdesse:
Áldott a Jézus szent neve!
4 Ő királysága bő áldás,
Ott van a felszabadulás,
Fáradtak ott megnyugszanak,
Ínségesek megáldatnak.
5 Minden teremtés dicsérje,
A Király Krisztust tisztelje;
Angyali ének zengjen fenn,
S mind e föld mondja rá: Ámen. Scripture: Psalm 72:17-19 Used With Tune: WARRINGTON

Oh worship the King
Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,200 hymnals Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases First Line: Oh worship the King, all glorious above (Anges du Très-Haut, louez le Seigneur) Lyrics: 1 Oh worship the King, all glorious above;
oh gratefully sing God's power and God's love,
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.
2 Oh tell of God's might, oh sing of God's grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is God's path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth, with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, thy power 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;
thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend.
5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,
While angels delight to hymn thee above,
thy ransomed creation, in glory ablaze,
in true adoration shall sing to thy praise.

praise the everlasting King.

praise the high eternal One.

ye behold him face to face;
sun and moon, bow down before him,
dwellers all in time and space,

the harvest treasures home.

to us a Son is given,
and on his shoulders ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.

shall over all extend,
for peace and justice shall abound
in the world without end.
