Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Richard M. Benson Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Praise to God who reigns above,
Binding earth and Heav’n in love;
All the armies of the sky
Worship His dread sovereignty.
2. Seraphim His praises sing,
Cherubim on fourfold wing,
Thrones, dominions, princes, powers,
Marshaled might that never cowers.
3. Speeds th’archangel from His face,
Bearing messages of grace;
Angel hosts His words fulfill,
Ruling nature by His will.
4. Yet on man thy joy to wait,
All that bright celestial state,
For in man their Lord they see,
Christ, th’incarnate deity.
5. On the throne their Lord who died
Sits in manhood glorified;
Where His people faint below
Angels count it joy to go.
6. Oh, the depths of joy divine,
Thrilling through those orders nine,
When the lost are found again,
When the banished come to reign!
7. Now in faith, in hope, in love,
We will join the choirs above,
Praising, with the heav’nly host,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Used With Tune: XAVIER Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861
Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Jesu's Precious Name Excels
Author: Matthew Wilks Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: Jesu’s precious name excels Lyrics: 1 Jesu’s precious name excels
Jordan’s streams, and Salem’s wells;
Thirsty sinners, come and draw,
Quench the flames of Sinai’s law.
2 Fearful sinners, come and try—
Draw and drink with inward joy;
Christ is fresh, and full, and free;
Sinners, come, whoe’er you be.
3 See the waters springing up,
To revive your languid hope;
Fill your vessels, as it rolls,
And refresh your weary souls.
4 Lo! the Spirit now invites!
Lo! the happy Bride unites!
Jesus calls, be not afraid,
Lo! for you the well was made!
5 Justice made it in the Lamb,
Mercy grants it thro’ His name;
Faith receives a full supply;
Those who drink it cannot die.
6 Careless sinner, let me tell,
Not a drop is found in hell;
Not a drop to ease your smart,
Not a drop to cool your heart.
7 Haste you to the Lamb of God,
Seek salvation in His blood;
In it there is boundless store,
For ten thousand thousands more.
8 Constant tributes let us bring,
For this soul refreshing spring;
Constant let our praises rise,
’Till we drink above the skies. Used With Tune: XAVIER Text Sources: A New Selection of Seven Hundred Evangelical Hymns by John Dobell (Morristown, NJ: Peter A. Johnson, 1810)

Mercy Speaks By Jesu's Blood
Author: William Gadsby Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Mercy speaks by Jesu’s blood Lyrics: 1 Mercy speaks by Jesu’s blood,
Hear and sing, ye sons of God,
Justice satisfied indeed,
Christ hath full atonement made.
2 Jesu’s blood speaks loud and sweet,
Here all Deity can meet,
And without a jarring voice,
Welcome Zion to rejoice.
3 Should the law against her roar,
Jesu’s blood still speaks with power;
"All her debts were cast on Me,
And she must and shall go free."
4 Peace of conscience, peace with God,
We obtain through Jesu’s blood;
Jesu’s blood speaks solid rest,
We believe, and we are blest.
5 When the blood of sprinkling cries,
Clouds are banished from the skies;
Every attribute divine,
In their greatest glory shine.
6 Jesu’s blood speaks life and power,
And in every trying hour,
Trusting this almighty voice,
Zion must and shall rejoice.
7 Would the Christian walk in love,
Circumspect and godly prove,
Then be this his constant aim,
On the blood of Christ to lean.
8 Here’s his strength to will and do,
And whatever he goes through,
This should be his only plea,
"Jesu’s blood was shed for me."
9 O ye wretched sinners base,
Sunk in sin and sad disgrace;
Hear the blood of sprinkling cry,
Come, and you shall never die. Used With Tune: XAVIER Text Sources: The Nazarene's Songs (Manchester, England, 1814)

William Gadsby
1773 - 1844 Author of "Mercy Speaks By Jesu's Blood" in The Cyber Hymnal Gadsby, William , was born in 1773 at Attleborough, in Warwickshire. In 1793 he joined the Baptist church at Coventry, and in 1798 began to preach. In 1800 a chapel was built for him at Desford, in Leicestershire, and two years later another in the town of Hinckley. In 1805 he removed to Manchester, becoming minister of a chapel in Rochdale Boad, where he continued until his death, in January, 1844. Gadsby was for many years exceedingly popular as a preacher of the High Calvinist faith, and visited in that capacity most parts of England. He published The Nazarene's Songs, being a composition of Original Hymns, Manchester, 1814; and Hymns on the Death of the Princess Charlotte, Manchester, 1817. In 1814 he also published A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship, appending thereto a large number of his own compositions [Baptist Hymnody, § nr., 2]. The edition of 1882 pub. by his son J. Gadsby contains 1138 hymns, of which 157 are by William Gadsby, and form Pt. ii. of the Selection From his point of view they are sound in doctrine, but have little poetic fervour, and the rhyme is faulty in a large number of instances. Four of these hymns are in Denham's Selection and one in the Selection of J. Stevens. [Rev. W. R Stevenson, M.A. ]
