Lord of the worlds above
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 501 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above
how pleasant and how fair
the dwellings of thy love,
thy earthly temples, are!
To thine abode
my heart aspires,
with warm desires
to see my God.
2 O happy souls that pray
where God appoints to hear!
O happy ones that pay
their constant service there!
They praise thee still;
and happy they
that love the way
To Sion’s hill.
3 They go from strength to strength
through this dark vale of tears,
till each arrives at length,
till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat!
when God our King,
shall thither bring
our willing feet. Scripture: Psalm 27:4 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

and sees the fruit of all his pains.

whose new-creating power
makes the dead sinner live;

and wills the world with joy divine.

be endless honor done,
the undivided Three
And the mysterious One:
where reason fails with all her powers,
there faith prevails, and love adores.

Join all the glorious names
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 338 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love, and power,
that mortals ever knew,
that angels ever bore:
all are too mean to speak his worth,
too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue would bless your name;
by you the joyful news
of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.
3 Jesus, my great High Priest,
offered his blood and died;
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside;
his powerful blood did once atone,
and now it pleads before the throne.
4 My dear Almighty Lord,
my Conqueror and my King,
your sceptre and your sword,
your reigning grace, I sing:
yours is the power: behold I sit
in willing service at your feet.
5 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down:
my Captain leads me forth
to conquest and a crown:
a feeble saint shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Jesus Names and images for Scripture: 1 John 2:1 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-97 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Thou art the Christ, O Lord,
The Son of God, most high!'
For ever be adored
That name in earth and sky,
In which, though mortal strength may fail,
The saints of God at last prevail.
2 O surely he was blest
With blessedness unpriced,
Who, taught of God, confessed
The Godhead in the Christ;
For of thy Church, Lord, thou didst own
Thy saint a true foundation-stone.
3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored,
The bitter lesson learnt,
That heart for thee, O Lord,
With triple ardor burnt.
The cross he took he laid not down
Until he grasped the martyr's crown.
4 O bright triumphant faith,
O courage void of fears,
O love most strong in death,
O penitential tears!
By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall,
And make us go where thou shalt call. Topics: St. Peter; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

The glory of the Lord
Ye holy angels bright
Author: John Hampden Gurney, 1802 - 62; Richard Baxter, 1615 - 91 Appears in 115 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright,
Who wait at God's right hand,
Or through the realms of light
Fly at your Lord's command:
Assist our song,
Or else the theme
Too high doth seem
For mortal tongue.
2 Ye blessed souls at rest,
Who ran this earthly race,
And now, from sin released,
Behold the Saviour's face,
His praises sound,
As in his sight
With sweet delight
Ye do abound.
3 Ye saints, who toil below,
Adore your heavenly King,
And onward as ye go
Some joyful anthem sing;
Take what he gives
And praise him still,
Through good or ill,
Who ever lives!
4 My soul, bear thou thy part,
Triumph in God above,
And with a well-tuned heart
Sing thou the songs of love;
Let all thy days
Till life shall end,
Whate'er he send,
Be filled with praise.
