Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 850 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2. He comes with succor speedy to those who suffer wrong; to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him, on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 4. To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand forever; that name to us is love.

I Sing the Mighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 474 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God That made the mountains rise, That spread the flowing seas abroad, And built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at His command And all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord That filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with His Word And then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed Where'er I turn my eye: If I survey the ground I tread Or gaze upon the sky! 3 There's not a plant or flower below But makes Thy glories known; And clouds arise and tempests blow By order from Thy throne; While all that borrows life from Thee Is ever in Thy care, And ev'rywhere that man can be, Thou, God, art present there.

O may we ever praise Him With heart and life and voice, And in His blissful presence Eternally rejoice. Topics: Jesus Christ Triumphant Scripture: Matthew 21:8-9 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 814 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of cure and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright, On thee the high and lowly Before th'eternal throne Sing "Holy, holy, holy," To the great Three in One. 2 On thee at the Creation The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heav'n, And thus, on thee, most glorious, A three-fold light was giv'n. 3. Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Nebo's mountain, We view our Promised Land; A day of sweet reflection, A day of holy love, A day of resurrection From earth to things above. 4 Today on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Amen. Topics: Adoration Lord's Day Scripture: Psalm 118:24 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Fill Thou My Life, O Lord, My God

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Fill Thou, my life, O Lord, my God, In ev'ry part with praise, That my whole being may proclaim Thy being and Thy ways; Not for the lip of praise alone, Nor e'en the praising heart, I ask, but for a life made up Of praise in ev'ry part. 2. Praise in the common words I speak, Life's common looks and tones, In intercouse at hearth or board With my beloved ones,-- Enduring wrong, reproach, or loss With sweet and steadfast will, Loving and blessing those who hate, Returning good for ill. 3. So shall each fear, each fret, each care, Be turned into song, And ev'ry winding of the way The echo shall prolong; So shall no part of day or night From sacredness be free, But all my life, in ev'ry step, Be fellowship with Thee.

Author: Duffield Appears in 1,808 hymnals First Line: Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high his royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From vict'ry unto vict'ry. His army shall he lead. Till ev'ry foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict, In this his glorious day: Ye that are men now serve him, Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Stand in his strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you; Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armor, And, watching unto pray'r, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next the victor's song: To him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be; He with the King of Glory Shall reign eternally.
