This Is My Father's World

Author: Maltbie D. Babcock Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 336 hymnals First Line: This is my Father's world And to my listening ears Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world, And to my listening ears All nature sings, and round me rings The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world: I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas-- His hand the wonders wrought. 2 This is my Father's world: The birds their carols raise, The morning light, the lily white, Declare their Maker's praise. This is my Father's world: He shines in all that's fair; In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere. 3 This is my Father's world: O let me ne'er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father's world: Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King: let the heavens ring! God reigns; let earth be glad!

The Mighty God, the Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoken unto all; from rising to the setting sun, he unto earth doth call. From Zion, his own hill, where perfect beauty dwells, Jehovah hath his glory shown, in brightness that excels. 2 Our God shall surely come, and silence shall not keep; before him fire shall waste, and storms tempestuous round him sweep. He to the heav'ns above shall then send forth his call, and likewise to the earth, that he may judge his people all. 3 "Together let my saints unto me gathered be, those that by sacrifice have made a covenant with me." Then shall the heav'ns declare his righteousness abroad; because the Lord himself is judge, yea, none is judge, but God.

The grace to sinners shown, you heavenly choirs proclaim, and cry, "Salvation to our God, salvation to the Lamb!" 3 Spirit of Holiness, let all your saints adore your sacred energy, and bless your heart-renewing power. No angel tongues can tell your love's ecstatic height, the glorious joy unspeakable, the beatific sight. 4 Eternal, Triune God, let all the hosts above, let all on earth below record and dwell upon your love. When heaven and earth have fled before your glorious face, may all the saints your love has made sing everlasting praise.

Ah! Whither Should I Go?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 193 hymnals First Line: Ah! whither should I go Lyrics: 1. Ah! whither should I go, Burdened and sick and faint? To whom should I my trouble show, And pour out my complaint? My Savior bids me come; Ah! why do I delay? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from Him I stay. 2. What is it keeps me back, From which I cannot part, Which will not let the Savior take Possession of my heart? Searcher of hearts, in mine Thy trying power display; Into its darkest corners shine, And take the veil away. 3. I now believe in Thee, Compassion reigns alone; According to my faith, to me O let it, Lord, be done! 4. In me is all the bar, Which Thou wouldst fain remove; Remove it, and I shall declare That God is only love. The following verses are commonly omitted: 5. Some cursèd thing unknown Must surely lurk within, Some idol which I will not own, Some secret bosom sin. 6. Jesu, the hindrance show, Which I have feared to see; Yet let me now consent to know What keeps me out of Thee. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER Text Sources: Hymns on God's Everlasting Love, 1741

Jesus, the Conqueror, Reigns

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 112 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, the Conqueror, reigns, In glorious strength arrayed, His kingdom over all maintains, And bids the earth be glad. Ye sons of men, rejoice In Jesus’ mighty love, Lift up your heart, lift up your voice To Him who rules above. 2. Extol His kingly power, Kiss the exalted Son, Who died, and lives, to die no more, High on His Father’s throne; Our Advocate with God, He undertakes our cause, And spreads through all the earth abroad The victory of His cross. 3. That bloody banner see, And in your Captain’s sight, Fight the good fight of faith with me, My fellow soldiers, fight! In mighty phalanx joined, To battle all proceed; Armed with the unconquerable mind Which was in Christ your Head. 4. Urge on your rapid course, Ye blood besprinkled bands; The heavenly kingdom suffers force, ’Tis seized by violent hands; See there the starry crown That glitters through the skies! Satan, the world, and sin, tread down, And take the glorious prize. 5. Through much distress and pain, Through many a conflict here, Through blood, ye must the entrance gain; Yet, O disdain to fear! Courage! your Captain cries, Who all your toil foreknew Toil ye shall have; yet all despise, I have o’ercome for you. 6. The world cannot withstand Its ancient conqueror, The world must sink beneath The hand which arms us for the war; This is the victory! Before our faith they fall; Jesus hath died for you and me; Believe, and conquer all! Used With Tune: DIADEMATA Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
