Christ, the Lamb for sinners given, Alleluia! enters now the highest heaven. Alleluia! 2 There for him high triumph waits; Alleluia! lift your heads, eternal gates. Alleluia! He has conquered death and sin; Alleluia! take the King of glory in. Alleluia! 3 Highest heaven its Lord receives; Alleluia! yet he loves the earth he leaves. Alleluia! Though returning to his throne, Alleluia! still he calls us all his own. Alleluia! 4 Still for us he intercedes; Alleluia! his atoning death he pleads, Alleluia! near himself prepares our place, Alleluia! he the firstfruits of our race. Alleluia! 5 There we shall with you remain, Alleluia! partners of your endless reign, Alleluia! see you with unclouded view, Alleluia! find our heaven of heavens in you. Alleluia!

'Tis My Happiness Below

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 259 hymnals First Line: ’Tis my happiness below Lyrics: 1 ’Tis my happiness below Not to live without the cross, But the Savior’s power to know, Sanctifying every loss; Trials must and will befall, But with humble faith to see Love inscribed upon them all, This is happiness to me. 2 God, in Israel, sows the seeds, Of affliction, pain and toil; These spring up, and choke the weeds Which would else o’erspread the soil; Trials make the promise sweet, Trials give new life to prayer; Trials bring me to His feet, Lay me low, and keep me there. 3 Did I meet no trials here, No chastisement by the way, Might I not, with reason, fear I should prove a castaway? Bastards may escape the rod, Sunk in earthly, vain delight; But the true born child of God, Must not, would not, if he might. Used With Tune: MADRID Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W.

Lord of Earth, Thy Forming Hand

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord of earth, Thy forming hand, Well this beauteous frame hath planned, Woods that wave, and hills that tower, Ocean rolling in his power; Yet amidst this scene so fair, Should I cease thy smile to share, What were all its joys to me? Whom have I on earth but Thee? 2. Lord of Heaven, beyond our sight Shines a world of purer light; There in love’s unclouded reign, Severed friends shall meet again: O that world is passing fair! Yet, if Thou wert absent there, What were all its joys to me? Whom have I in Heaven but Thee? 3. Lord of earth and Heaven, my breast Seeks in Thee its only rest; I was lost; Thy accents mild Homeward lured Thy wandering child: O if once Thy smile divine Ceased upon my soul to shine, What were earth or Heaven to me? Whom have in each but Thee? Used With Tune: MAIDSTONE Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns for Public, Private and Social Worship, by H. V. Elliott, 1835
