Behold the glories of the Lamb

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 275 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the glories of the Lamb amidst his Father’s throne; prepare new honours for his name, and songs before unknown. 2 Lo! elders worship at his feet; the church adores around, with vials full of odours rich, and harps of sweetest sound. 3 These odours are the pray’rs of saints, these sounds the hymns they raise; God bends his ear to their requests, he loves to hear their praise. 4 Who shall the Father’s record search, and hidden things reveal? Behold the Son that record takes, and opens ev’ry seal. 5 Hark how th’ adoring hosts above with songs surround the throne! ten thousand thousand are their tongues; but all their hearts are one. 6 Worthy the Lamb that dy'd, they cry, to be exalted thus; Worthy the Lamb, let us reply, for he was slain for us. 7 To him be pow’r divine ascrib'd, and endless blessings paid; salvation, glory, joy, remain for ever on his head! 8 Thou hast redeem'd us with thy blood, and set the pris’ners free; thou mad’st us kings and priests to God, and we shall reign with thee. 9 From ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tongue, thou brought’st thy chosen race; and distant lands and isles have shar'd the riches of thy grace. 10 Let all that dwell above the sky, or on the earth below, with fields, and floods, and ocean’s shores, to thee their homage show. 11 To Him who sits upon the throne, the God whom we adore, and to the Lamb that once was slain, be glory evermore.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: Oh, sing a new song to the Lord Lyrics: 1 Oh, sing a new song to the Lord, for wonders he has done: with his right hand and holy arm the vict'ry he has won. 2 The Lord has made this triumph known, displayed his saving might; he has revealed his righteousness in every nation's sight. 3 He mindful of his grace and truth to Israel's house has been; the saving power of God our Lord earth's farther ends have seen. 4 Earth, shout aloud to God the Lord and make a joyful noise; break into song and celebrate, sing praises and rejoice. 5 Sing to the Lord with sound of harp, let harp and voices ring: with blare of trumpets, blast of horn, acclaim the Lord, the King. 6 Let seas, and all within them, roar, the world, and dwellers there; let streams clap hands, and mountains sing-- as one their joy declare. 7 Let these all sing before the Lord who comes earth's judge to be; he'll judge the world with righteousness, its folk with equity.

According to Thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 549 hymnals Lyrics: According to thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember thee. Thy Body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; The cup, thy precious Blood, I take, And thus remember thee. Gethsemane, can I forget? Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat. And not remember thee? When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember thee. And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Then, Lord, remember me. Amen.

With Songs and Honors Sounding Loud

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 279 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud address the Lord on high; over the heav'ns he spreads his cloud, and waters veil the sky. 2 He sends his show'rs of blessing down to cheer the plains below; he makes the grass the mountains crown, and corn in valleys grow. 3 His steady counsels change the face of the declining year; he bids the sun cut short his race, and wintry days appear. 4 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, descend and clothe the ground; the liquid streams forbear to flow, in icy fetters bound. 5 He sends his word and melts the snow; the fields no longer mourn; he calls the warmer gales to blow, and bids the spring return. 6 The changing wind, the flying cloud, obey his mighty word; with songs and honors sounding loud praise ye the sovereign Lord.
