Stand Up and Bless the Lord
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 401 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stand up and bless the Lord,
Ye people of God's choice;
Stand up and bless the Lord your God
With heart and soul and voice.
2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear God's holy name,
And laud and magnify?
3 O for the living flame
From God's own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our minds inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought!
4 God is our strength and song,
Now is salvation ours;
Then be God's love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers.
5 Stand up and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore;
Stand up and bless God's glorious name;
Henceforth forevermore.

Dearest Jesus, We Are Here
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dearest Jesus, we are here,
Gladly Your command obeying.
With this child we now draw near
In response to Your own saying
That to You it shall be given
As a child and heir of heaven.
2 Your command is clear and plain.
And we would obey it duly:
"You must all be born again,
Heart and life renewing truly,
Born of water and the Spirit,
And My kingdom thus inherit."
3 This is why we come to You,
In our arms this infant bearing;
Lord, to us Your glory show;
Let this child, Your mercy sharing,
In Your arms be shielded ever,
Yours on earth and Yours forever.
4 Gracious Lord, Your member own;
Shepherd, take Your lamb and feed it;
Prince of Peace, make here Your throne;
Way of life, to heaven lead it;
Precious vine, let nothing sever
From Your side this branch forever.

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night
Author: John Bowring Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 868 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are.
Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height,
See that glory-beaming star.
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.
2 Watchman, tell us of the night;
Higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
See, it bursts o'er all the earth.
3 Watchman, tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease;
Hasten to your quiet home.
Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace,
Lo! the Son of God is come!

The apostles saw their risen Lord.

In this our joyful Eastertide.

Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 135 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure,
Source of purest pleasure,
Truest friend to me;
Long my heart hath panted,
Till it well-nigh fainted,
Thirsting after Thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer naught to hide Thee,
Ask for naught beside Thee.
2 In Thine arms I rest me;
Foes who would oppress me
Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
Every heart be quaking,
Jesus dispels our fear;
Sin and hell in conflict fell
With their heaviest storms assail us:
Jesus will not fail us.
3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in:
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within;
Yea, whate'er we here must bear,
Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure!

We Are Your People

Lord, by Your grace,
You dare to make us Christ to our neighbors
of every nation and race.
2 Called to portray You, help us to live
Closer than neighbors, open to strangers,
able to clash and forgive.
3 Glad of tradition, help us to see
In all life's changing where You are leading,
Where our best efforts should be.
4 Joined in community, breaking Your bread,
May we discover gifts in each other,
willing to lead and be led.
5 Lord, as we minister in different ways,
May all we're doing show that you're living,
meeting Your love with our praise.

Crown Him with Many Crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 804 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.

Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified:
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.
3 Crown Him the Lord of peace;
Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed in prayer and praise:
His reign shall know no end;
And round His piercèd feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
4 Crown Him the Lord of years,
The Potentate of time;
Creator of the rolling spheres,
Ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never fail
Throughout eternity.

Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led,

Before Thy throne of grace;
God of past ages, be the God
Of each succeeding race.

Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.

Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our God’s beloved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
