When, His Salvation Bringing

Author: Joshua King Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 421 hymnals Refrain First Line: Hosanna, Hosanna, To David's royal Son Lyrics: 1 When His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing Hosanna to His Name. Nor did their zeal offend Him, But as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. Refrain: Hosanna, Hosanna, To David's royal Son, Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Though now as King He reigneth On Zion's heavenly hill; We'll flock around His banner, Who sits upon the throne, And cry aloud, hosanna To David's royal Son. [Refrain] 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer's praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Would their Hosannas raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No! while our hearts are tender, They, too, shall be the Lord's. [Refrain] Amen.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,952 hymnals First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follow'r of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thro' bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Nay, I must fight, if I would reign: Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy Word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They view the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine. Amen.

Calm on the Listening Ear of Night

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Appears in 350 hymnals First Line: Calm on the list'ning ear of night Lyrics: 1 Calm on the list'ning ear of night Come heav'n's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches forth Her silver-mantled plains; Celestial choirs from courts above Shed sacred glories there; And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 2 The answ'ring hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply, And greet from all their holy heights The Day-spring from on high: O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm; And Sharon waves in solemn praise Her silent groves of palm. 3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain The realm of ether fills; How sweeps the song of solemn joy O'er Judah's sacred hills! "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring: "Peace on the earth; good will to men," From heaven's eternal King. 4 This day shall Christian tongues be mute, And Christian hearts be cold? O catch the anthem that from heaven O'er Judah's mountains rolled, When burst upon that listening night The high and solemn lay, "Glory to God; on earth be peace": Salvation comes to-day. Amen.

Amen.

Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth reply. 2 Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! the sun's eclipse is o'er, Lo! He sets in blood no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal! Christ hath burst the gates of hell! Death in vain forbids Him rise; Christ hath opened paradise. 4 Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Dying once, He all doth save; Where thy victory, O grave? 5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. 6 Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to Thee by both be given: Thee we greet triumphant now; Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Amen.

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges Appears in 803 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the heav'nly 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 Thro' all eternity. 2 Crown Him the Son of God Before the worlds began; And ye who tread where He hath trod, Crown Him the Son of Man, Who ev'ry grief hath known that wrings the human breast, And takes and bears them for His own, That all in Him may rest. 3 Crown Him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save; His glories now we sing, Who died, and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring, And lives, that death may die. 4 Crown Him the Lord of heaven, Enthroned in worlds above, Crown Him the King to whom is given The wondrous name of Love. Crown him with many crowns As thrones before Him fall, Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns For He is King of all. Amen.

Deck Thyself, My Soul, with Gladness

Author: Benjamin Schmolk Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the day-light's splendor, There with joy thy praises render Unto Him, whose grace unbounded Hath this wondrous banquet founded; High o'er all the earth He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving reverence greet Him, For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal; Open wide the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, "Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I nevermore will leave Thee." 3 He who costly goods desireth To obtain, much gold requireth; But to freely give the treasure Of Thy love is Thy good pleasure, For on earth there is no coffer Which as payment we might offer For this cup Thy blood containing, And this manna on us raining. 4 Ah! how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing; In the battle, well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth, At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Lord, Thy fervent love hath driven Thee to leave Thy throne in heaven, For us on the cross to languish, And to die in bitter anguish, To forgo all joy and gladness, And to shed Thy blood in sadness, Which we drink now; grant that never We forget Thy love, dear Saviour! 7 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee; By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love's treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me. Amen.
