Alleluia, sing to Jesus!

Author: William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 215 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! his the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia, his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: 'Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.' 2 Alleluia, not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; alleluia, he is near us, faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, 'I am with you evermore'? 3 Alleluia, bread of angels, here on earth our food, our stay; alleluia, here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's redeemer, plead for me, where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia, King eternal, Lord omnipotent we own; alleluia, born of Mary, earth your footstool, heaven your throne. As within the veil you entered, robed in flesh, our great high priest, here on earth both priest and victim in the eucharistic feast. 5 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! his the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia, his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: 'Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.'

Author: George Smyttan (1822-1870); Francis Pott (1832-1909) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights thou wast fasting in the wild; forty days and forty nights tempted, and yet undefiled. 2 Sunbeams scorching day by day; chilly dewdrops nightly shed; prowling beasts about thy way; stones thy pillow; earth thy bed. 3 Shall not we thy sorrows share, learn thy discipline of will, and, like thee, by fast and prayer wrestle with the powers of ill? 4 And if Satan, vexing sore, flesh and spirit should assail, thou, his vanquisher before, wilt not suffer us to fail. 5 Watching, praying, struggling thus, victory ours at last shall be; angels minister to us as they ministered to thee.

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 317 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:9 Lyrics: 1 All the way my Savior leads me; what have I to ask beside? Can I doubt His tender mercy, who through life has been my guide?

Perfect rest to me is promised in my Father’s house above; when my spirit, clothed immortal, wings its flight to realms of day, this my song through endless ages, "Jesus led me all the way"; this my song through endless ages, "Jesus led me all the way."
