Hark! the herald angels sing

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley; G. Whitefield; M. Madan; J. Kempthorne Appears in 1,339 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!" Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With the angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" Hark! the herald angels sing. "Glory to the newborn King." 2 Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ, the Everlasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of the Virgin's womb: Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail the Incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with men to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel. Hark! the herald angels sing. "Glory to the newborn King." 3 Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in his wings. Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! the herald angels sing. "Glory to the newborn King." Amen.

Hark, the sound of holy voices

Author: Bishop Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Lord, to thee! Multitude which none can number, Like the stars in glory stands, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands. 2 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3 Marching with Thy cross their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee the Captain of salvation, Thee their Saviour and their King; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 4 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite; Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity. Amen.

Hark, the voice of Jesus crying

Author: Rev. Daniel March Appears in 508 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white and harvests waiting; Who will bear the sheave away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; Rich reward He offers free; Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite; And the least you give for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. 3 If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Saviour's waiting arms. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you: Take the task He gives you gladly; Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I; send me, send me!" Amen.

Have mercy, Lord, on me

Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord, on me, As Thou wert ever kind; Let me, oppressed with loads of guilt Thy wonted mercy find. 2 Against Thee, Lord, alone, And only in Thy sight, Have I transgressed; and though condemned Must own Thy judgments right. 3 Blot out my crying sins, Nor me in anger view; Create in me a heart that's clean, An upright mind renew. 4 Withdraw not Thou Thy help, Nor cast me from Thy sight; Nor let Thy Holy Spirit take His everlasting flight. 5 The joy Thy favors give Let me again obtain, And Thy free Spirit's firm support My fainting soul sustain. Amen. Text Sources: Tate and Brady's New Version, Ed. of 1698
