Songs of Praise the Angels Sang

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 546 hymnals First Line: Songs of praise the angesl sang Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heav'n with alleluias rang, When creation was begun, When God spoke and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born. Songs of praise arose when he Captive led captivity. 3 Heav'n and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day. God will make new heav'ns and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be still? Has he neither breath nor skill? No, the Church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice, Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Whispered with their final breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death. Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their pow'rs employ. Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service Used With Tune: INNOCENTS

The Advent of Our King

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The advent of our King Our prayers must now employ, And we must hymns of welcome sing In strains of holy joy. 2 The everlasting Son Incarnate deigns to be, Himself a servant's form puts on To set his servants free. 3 O Zion's Daughter, rise To meet your lowly King, Nor let a faithless heart despise The peace he comes to bring. 4 As judge, on clouds of light, He soon will come again And his true members all unite With him in heav'n to reign. 5 Before the dawning Day Let sin's dark deeds be gone, The sinful self be put away, The new self now put on. 6 All glory to the Son, Who comes to set us free, With Father, Spirit, ever one Through all eternity.

The Law Commands and Makes Us Know

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The law commands and makes us know What duties to our God we owe, But 'tis the gospel must reveal Where lies our strength to do his will. 2 The law uncovers guilt and sin And shows how vile our hearts have been; The gospel only can express Forgiving love and cleansing grace. 3 What curses does the law pronounce Against the one who fails but once! But in the gospel Christ appears, Pard'ning the guilt of num'rous years. 4 My soul, no more attempt to draw Your life and comfort from the law. Flee to the hope the gospel gives; The one who trusts the promise lives. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

Twas on that Dark, that Doleful Night

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night When pow'rs of earth and hell arose Against the Son, our God's delight, And friends betrayed him to his foes. 2 Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread and blessed and broke. What love through all his actions ran! What wondrous words of grace he spoke! 3 "This is my body, slain for sin; Receive and eat the living food." Then took the cup and blessed the wine: "'Tis the new cov'nant in my blood." 4 "Do this," he said, "till time shall end, In mem'ry of your dying friend; Meet at my table and record The love of your departed Lord." 5 Jesus, your feast we celebrate; We show your death; we sing your name Till you return and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb.

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing his love for me, And through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on, And through eternity I'll sing on.

Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God a band Of glorious angels ever stand; Bright things they see, sweet harps they hold, And on their heads are crowns of gold. 2 Some wait around him, ready still To sing his praise and do his will, And some, when he commands them, go To guard his servants here below. 3 Lord, give your angels ev'ry day Command to guide us on our way, And bid them ev'ry evening keep Their watch around us while we sleep. 4 Then shall no wicked thing draw near To do us harm or cause us fear, And we shall live, when life is past, With angels round your throne at last.
