Alleluia, Song of Gladness

Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 95 hymnals First Line: Allelua, song of gladness Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, song of gladness, Voice of joy that cannot die; Alleluia is the anthem Ever dear to choirs on high; In the house of God abiding Thus they sing eternally. 2 Alleluia! Lead our praises, True Jerusalem and free; Alleluia, joyful mother, Bring us to your jubilee; But by Babylon's sad waters Mourning exiles now are we. 3 Alleluia cannot always Be our song while here below; Alleluia our transgressions Make us for a while forego: For the solemn time is coming When our tears for sin must flow. 4 In our hymns we pray with longing: Grant us, blessed Trinity, At the last to keep glad Easter With the faithful saints on high; There to you for ever singing Alleluia joyfully.

Endeavor Hymn

Author: N. F. Carter Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: With a strong and glad endeavor Lyrics: 1. With a strong and glad endeavor Let us rally round the cross, One in heart and zeal forever Seek to save the world from loss. In no scant and stinted measure Be our wealth and service giv’n; Let no love of ease or pleasure Hedge to one the way to Heav’n. 2. In the joy of love’s communion, Finding motive and reward; Strong in purpose, strong in union, As an army of the Lord, Let us on to fight our battles In the heav’nly Master’s name, Though the thunder rolls and rattles, Though the sheeted lightnings flame.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 415 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall: With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us he grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew: And He comforts us in sadness, And He shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above, And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. Amen. Topics: Sacraments Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Other Observances Christian Education Scripture: John 7:40-44 Used With Tune: IRBY
