Come, let us join our cheerful songs

Author: Isaac Watts , 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,004 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs with angels round the throne; ten thousand thousand are their tongues, but all their joys are one. 2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, "to be exalted thus"; "Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply, "for he was slain for us." 3 Jesus is worthy to receive honor and power divine; may blessings, more than we can give, be, Lord, for ever thine. 4 The whole creation joins in one to bless the sacred Name of him that sits upon the throne, and to adore the Lamb.

Welcome, Thou Victor In The Strife

Author: Catherine Winkworth; B. Schmolck Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife, Now welcome from the cave! Today we triumph in Thy life, Around Thy empty grave. 2 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst, Lord, Thou art found And bringest peace with Thee. 3 Impart to us the spoils, we pray, Thou didst for us achieve; We meet within Thy house today Our portion to receive. 4 We die with Thee: O let us live Henceforth to Thee aright; The blessings Thou hast died to give Be daily in our sight. 5 Fearless we lay us in the tomb And sleep the night away, If Thou art there to break the gloom And call us back to day. 6 Death hurts us not; his power is gone, And pointless all his darts; Now hath God's favor on us shone, And joy fills all our hearts. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: THANKSGIVING

Amid Thy Wrath Remember Love

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: Amid Thy wrath, remember love Lyrics: 1 Amidst Thy wrath, remember love; Restore Thy servant, LORD; Nor let a Father’s chast'ning prove; Like an avenger’s sword. 2 Thine arrows stick within my heart, My flesh is sorely pressed; Between the sorrow and the dart my spirit finds no rest. 3 LORD, I am weak and broken sore, None of my pow'rs are whole; The inward anguish makes me roar, The anguish of my soul. 4 All my desire to Thee is known, Thine eye counts ev'ry tear, And ev'ry sigh and ev'ry groan; Is noticed by Thine ear. 5 Thou art my God, my only hope; My God will hear my cry; My God will bear my spirit up; When Satan bids me die. 6 But I’ll confess my guilt to Thee, And grieve for all my sin; I’ll mourn how weak my graces be; And beg support divine. 7 My God, forgive my follies past; And be forever nigh; O LORD of my salvation, haste; Before Thy servant die.

Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from the throne. 4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men With messages of grace, Who comes in God His Father's Name To save our sinful race. 5 Hosanna in the highest strains The Church on earth can raise; The highest heav'ns in which He reigns Shall give Him nobler praise.

Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 240 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen that radiant form of thine; the veil of sense hangs dark between thy blessèd face and mine. 2 I see thee not, I hear thee not, yet art thou oft with me; and earth hath ne'er so dear a spot as where I meet with thee. 3 Yet, though I have not seen, and still must rest in faith alone, I love thee, dearest Lord, and will, unseen, but not unknown. 4 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, and still this throbbing heart, the rending veil shall thee reveal all glorious as thou art.

The Promised Land

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 304 hymnals First Line: Far from these narrow scenes of night Lyrics: 1 Far from these narrow scenes of night Unbounded glories rise, And realms of infinite delight Unknown to mortal eyes. 2 Far distant land—could mortal eyes But half its joys explore, How would our spirits long to rise, And dwell on earth no more! 3 There pain and sickness never come, And grief no more complains! Health triumphs in immortal bloom, And endless pleasure reigns! 4 From discord free and war’s alarms, And want and pining care, Plenty and peace unite their charms, And smile unchanging there. 5 There rich varieties of joy, Continual feast the mind; Pleasures which fill, but never cloy, Immortal and refined! 6 No factious strife, no envy there, The sons of peace molest, But harmony and love sincere, Fill every happy breast. 7 No cloud those blissful regions know, For ever bright and fair! For sin, the source of mortal woe, Can never enter there. 8 There no alternate night is known, Nor sun’s faint sickly ray; But glory from the sacred throne Spreads everlasting day. 9 That glorious Monarch there displays His beams of wondrous grace; His happy subjects sing His praise, And bow before His face. 10 O may the heavenly prospect fire Our hearts with ardent love, Till wings of faith and strong desire Bear every thought above. 11 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine, For Thy bright courts on high; Then bid our spirits rise and join The chorus of the sky.
