Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,808 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Name. 3 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 4 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen. Amen. Topics: The Church Foreign Missions Used With Tune: PARK STREET

What cheering words are these!

Author: John Kent Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these! Their sweetness who can tell! In time and to eternal days, "’Tis with the righteous well." 2 In every state secure, Kept by Jehovah’s eye, ’Tis well with them while life endure, And well when called to die. 3 ’Tis well when joys arise; ’Tis well when sorrows flow; ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies, And strong temptations blow. 4 ’Tis well when on the mount They feast on dying Love: And ’tis as well in God’s account, When they the furnace prove. 5 'Tis well when Jesus calls: "From earth and sin arise; Join with the hosts of ransomed souls, Made to salvation wise." Amen. Used With Tune: HOLBORN

Wide open are Thy hands

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux (?), d. 1153; Charles Porterfield Krauth Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wide open are Thy hands, Paying with more than gold The awful debt of guilty men, Forever and of old. Ah, let me grasp those hands, That we may never part, And let the power of their blood Sustain my fainting heart. 2 Wide open are Thine arms, A fallen world to embrace; To take to love and endless rest Our whole forsaken race. Lord, I am sad and poor, But boundless is Thy grace; Give me the soul-transforming joy For which I seek Thy face. 3 Draw all my mind and heart Up to Thy throne on high, And let Thy sacred Cross exalt My spirit to the sky. To these, Thy mighty hands, My spirit I resign; Living, I live alone to Thee, Dying, alone am Thine. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: SALVE JESU

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,301 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, City of our God; He, Whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove, Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst assuage, Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age? 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near; Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading are the worldling's pleasures, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH

When I survey the wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,017 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the Death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His Blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: BRESLAU

Alleluia! 5 Now He bids tell abroad, How the lost may be restored, How the penitent forgiven, How we, too, may enter heaven. Alleluia! 6 Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, Thy ransomed people feed: Take our sins and guilt away, That we all may sing for aye: Alleluia! Amen.

O worship the King, all-glorious above

Author: Robert Grant Appears in 1,157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all-glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might and sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old: Hast stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hast cast like a mantle the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble its lays, With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise. Amen.
