Alleluia! Sing to Jesus

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 215 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! sing to Jesus, His the scepter, 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 Heaven, Thou on earth our food and stay; Alleluia! Here the sinful Flee to Thee 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. Amen.

Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old

Author: Edward H. Plumptre Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:5 Lyrics: 1 Your hands, O Lord, in days of old were strong to heal and save; they triumphed over pain and death, o'er darkness and the grave. To you they went, the blind, the mute, the palsied and the lame, the leper set apart and shunned, the sick and those in shame. 2 And then your touch brought life and health, gave speech and strength and sight; and youth renewed, with health restored, claimed you, the Lord of light. And so, O Lord, be near to bless, almighty now as then, in every street, in every home, in every troubled friend. 3 O be our mighty healer still, O Lord of life and death; restore and strengthen, soothe and bless with your almighty breath. On hands that work and eyes that see, your healing wisdom pour, that whole and sick and weak and strong may praise you evermore.
