Crown Him With Many Crowns
Author: Godfrey Thring; Matthew Bridges Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 813 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Ascension Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark, how the heav’nly anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him Who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy chosen King
Thro' all eternity.
2 Crown Him the Son of God
Before the worlds began;
And ye, who tread where He hath trod,
Crown Him the Son of Man,
Who ev'ry grief hath known
That wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own
That all in Him may rest.
3 Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o’er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
4 Crown Him the Lord of heav’n,
Enthroned in worlds above,
Crown Him the King to whom is giv'n
The wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns
As thrones before Him fall;
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns,
For He is King of all.
Amen.

God Of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand
I Know Whom I Believe In
Author: Ernst Moritz Arndt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 I know whom I believe in,
I know what firm abides,
When all around me fading
Away like vapor glides.
I know what lasts forever,
When all things shake and fall,
When wit the wise forsaketh,
And craft doth craft forestall.
2 It is the Light of Glory;
It is my Jesus, King;
It is the Rock I stand on;
It is of this I sing.
He nevermore shall fail me,
Deliv'rer, Shepherd mine,
He lighteth all my darkness,
He makes my path to shine.
3 He whom blood-stained they buried
In the still twilight hour,
He whom God waked from slumber,
He who arose in pow''r:
He for my guilt atoneth,
To me His Spirit gives,
Me with His grace He crowneth:
I live because He lives.
4 I know what I believe in,
I know what standeth fast,
And what, when earth shall crumble,
Uncrumbled, still shall last;
Thro' sorrow it bides with me,
Mine when to death I bow,
In heav'n it will assure me
A crown to deck my brow.
Amen. Used With Tune: WEBB

Safely Through Another Week
Author: John Newton Appears in 1,025 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts to-day:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest!
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Thro' the week our praise demand;
Guarded by almighty pow'r,
Fed and guided by His hand,
How ungrateful we have been,
Only made returns of sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace
Thro' the dear Redeemer’s name,
Show Thy reconciled face,
Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
4 AS we come Thy name to praise
May we feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
5 May Thy Gospel’s joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above.
Amen. Used With Tune: DIX

Come Hither, Ye Faithful
Come, Ye Faithful, Raise The Strain
Author: John of Damascus, 8th Cent.; J. M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 383 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Easter Lyrics: 1 Come, yefaithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness:
God hath brought His Israel
Into joy from sadness;
Loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters,
Led them with unmoistened foot
Thro' the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today;
Christ hath burst His prison,
And from three days’ sleep in death,
As a sun hath risen:
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
From His light, to whom we, give
Laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
With the day of splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts,
Comes its joy to render;
Comes to glad Jerusalem,
Who with true affection
Welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither could the gates of death,
Nor the tomb’s dark portal,
Nor the watchers nor the seal,
Hold Thee as a mortal.
But today amidst Thine own
Thou didst stand bestowing,
Lord, Thy peace, which evermore
Passeth human knowing.
Amen.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: H. Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 738 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Harvest and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come.
Raise the song of harvest home;
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
That our wants are all supplied;
Come to God's own temple, come;
Raise the song of harvest home.
2 We ourselves are God's own field,
Fruit to His high praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown;
First the blade and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall purge away
All that doth offend that day;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest home;
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide;
Come with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.
Amen. Used With Tune: SPANISH HYMN

Let eternal morning rise,

From Greenland's Icy Mountains
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,690 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand;
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though ev'ry prospect pleases
And only man is vile:
In vain, with lavish kindness,
The gifts of God are strewn;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
By wisdom from on high--
Shall we to man benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation, O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story;
And you, ye waters, roll
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole;
Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
Returns in bliss to reign.
Amen. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all and frees us
From the accursed load.
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood so precious,
Till not a spot remains.

All fullness dwells in Him;
He heals all my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem.
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.
3 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child.
I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heav'nly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song. Used With Tune: CRUCIFIX
