See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:18 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph; see the King in royal state, riding on the clouds, his chariot, to his heav'nly palace gate: Hark! the choirs of angel voices joyful Alleluias sing, and the portals high are lifted to receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, with the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, he has gained the victory; he who on the cross did suffer, he who from the grave arose, he has vanquished sin and Satan, he by death has spoiled his foes. 3 You have raised our human nature in the clouds to God's right hand; there we sit in heav'nly places, there with you in glory stand: Jesus reigns, adored by angels, man with God is on the throne; mighty Lord, in your ascension we by faith behold our own.

Author: Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 545 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:18 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake, and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when he Captive led captivity. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away-- Songs of praise shall crown that day; God will make new heavens and earth-- Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amid eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Addison Appears in 1,002 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:19 Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 2 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 3 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Topics: General Praise; Gratitude
