How beauteous are their feet

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues And words of peace reveal! 2 How welcome is their voice, How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and saints desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, Their tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in hymns And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad: let ev'ry nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Now to the Lord a noble song!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 334 hymnals Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1. Now to the Lord a noble song! Awake my soul, awake my tongue. Hosanna to th’eternal name, And all His boundless love proclaim. 2. See where it shines in Jesus’ face, The brightest image of his grace; God, in the person of His Son, Has all his noblest works outdone. 3. The spacious earth and spreading flood Proclaim the wise and pow'rful God; And thy rich glories, from afar, Sparkle in ev'ry rolling star. 4. But in thy Son a glory shines, Drawn out in far superior lines; The lustre of redeeming grace Outshines the beams of nature's face. 5. Grace! ‘tis a sweet, a charming theme; My thoughts rejoice at Jesus’ name. Ye angels, dwell upon the sound! Ye heav’ns, reflect it to the ground! 6. O may I reach that happy place Where he unveils his lovely face! Where all his saints, from death restor'd, Shall be forever with the Lord.

Join all the glorious names

Meter: Irregular Appears in 344 hymnals Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names of wisdom, love, and pow'r, that ever mortals knew, that angels ever bore: All are too mean To speak his worth; Too mean to set My Saviour forth. 2 But O what gentle terms, What condescending ways, Doth our Redeemer use, To teach his heav'nly grace! Mine eyes with joy And wonder see, What forms of love he bears for me. 3 Array'd in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in his hands; Commission'd from His Father's throne, To make his grace To mortals known. 4 Great Prophet of my God! my tongue would bless thy name. By thee the joyful news Of our salvation came: The joyful news Of sins forgiv'n, Of hell subdu'd, And peace with heav'n.

With ecstasy of joy

Meter: Irregular Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 With ecstasy of joy Extol his glorious name, Who rear'd the spacious earth, And rais'd our mortal frame. He built the church, Who spread the sky: Shout and exalt His honours high. 2 See the foundation laid By pow'r and love divine; Jesus, his first-born Son, How bright his glories shine! Low he descends, In dust he lies, That from his tomb A church might rise. 3 But he for ever lives, Nor for himself alone; Each saint new life derives From him, the living stone. His influence spreads Through ev'ry soul, And in one house Unites the whole. 4 To him with joy we move; In him cemented stand; The living temple grows, And owns the founder's hand. That structure, Lord, Still higher raise, Louder to sound Its builder's praise

Come, said Jesus' sacred voice

Weary pilgrim, hither come! 2 Thou, who, houseless, sole, forlorn, Long hast borne the proud world's scorn, Long hast roam'd the barren waste; Weary pilgrim, hither haste! 3 Ye who, toss'd on beds of pain, Seek for ease, but seek in vain: Ye, whose swoll'n and sleepless eyes Watch to see the morning rise: 4 Ye, by fiercer anguish torn, Guilt, in strong remorse, who mourn: Here repose your heavy care: Conscience wounded who can bear? 5 Sinner, come! for here is found Balm that flows for ev'ry wound; Peace that ever shall endure; Rest eternal, sacred, sure.

What ardent love and zeal are due, While heav'n stands open to our view! 2 Once we were fall'n, and O how low! Just on the brink of hopeless woe! When Jesus, from the realms above, Borne on the wings of boundless love, 3 Scatter'd the shades of death and night, And spread around his heav'nly light. By him what wondrous grace is shown To souls impov'rish'd and undone! 4 Far, far beyond these mortal shores, A bright inheritance is ours; Where saints in light our coming wait, To share their holy happy state.

"Bless'd is the man, whose shoulders take My yoke, and bear it with delight! My yoke is easy to his neck; My grace shall make the burden light." 4. Jesus! we come at thy command; With faith, and hope, and humble zeal; Resign our spirits to thy hand, To mould and guide us at thy will.

Now have I found the ground wherein

Meter: Irregular Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain: The love of God forgiving sin, Through Jesus crucified and slain. His mercy shall unshaken stay, When heav'en and earth have pass'd away. 2 Father! thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far; Thine heart still melts with tenderness, Thy arms of love still open are, And Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 3 Tho' waves and storms go o’er my head, Tho' strength and health and friends be gone, Tho' joys be wither'd all and dead, Tho' every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies, Father, thy mercy never dies. 4 Fix'd on this ground will I remain, Tho' my heart fail and flesh decay. This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away. Mercy’s full pow'r I then shall prove, Lov'd with an everlasting love.

One there is above all others

Meter: Irregular Appears in 691 hymnals Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others, Well deserves the name of friend; His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end: They who his salvation prove, Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But our Saviour died to have us Reconcil'd in him to God. It was boundless love, to bleed: Jesus is a friend indeed. 3 When He liv'd on earth abasèd, Friend of sinners was his name; Now, above all glory raised, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O! for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas! forget too often, What a friend we have above. When to heav'n our souls are brought, We will love thee as we ought.
