Praise the Lord through every nation

Author: Rhijnvis Feith, 1753-1824; James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: Irregular Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord through every nation; his holy arm hath wrought salvation; exalt him on his Father's throne. Praise your King, ye Christian legions, who now prepares in heavenly regions unfailing mansions for his own: with voice and minstrelsy extol his majesty: Alleluia! His praise shall sound all nature round, and hymns on every tongue abound. 2 Jesus, Lord, our Captain glorious, o'er sin, and death, and hell victorious, wisdom and might to thee belong: we confess, proclaim, adore thee; we bow the knee, we fall before thee; thy love henceforth shall be our song. The cross meanwhile we bear, the crown ere-long to wear: Alleluia! Thy reign extend world without end; let praise from all to thee ascend. Topics: Jesus Christ our Lord Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

How brightly shines the Morning Star

Author: John M. Sloan; Philipp Nicolai; J. A. Schlegel Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How brightly shines the Morning Star! What ray divine stream from afar! God’s glory there is shining. Bright beam of God, which scatters night, And guides the wandering soul aright, Which after truth is pining! Jesus, God’s Word, truth revealing, Sorrow healing, Soothe our sighing, Dry our tears, and end our dying. 2 My comfort here, my joy above, Man’s Son, Son of the Father’s love, Enthroned in highest heaven, With my whole heart Thy praise I sing; To Thee, our Prophet, Priest, and King, Be endless honors given. Saviour, to Thee, trusting, clinging, Come I bringing Soul and spirit, Thee, my portion, to inherit. 3 Aid me, my God, to sing Thy praise, Thine ageless love, Thy matchless grace, In Christ, our Lord appearing. When such a gift God gave for thee, When such a brother true is He, Why still my soul be fearing? Choose Him, know Him, greatest, dearest, Best and nearest, To befriend thee ‘Gainst all foes who may offend thee. Used With Tune: NICOLAI

With tidings thrilling the watchmen all the air are filling, arise, Jerusalem, arise! Midnight strikes! No more delaying, 'The hour has come!' we hear them saying, 'where are ye all, ye virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes in sight, raise high your torches bright!' Alleluia! The wedding song swells loud and strong: go forth and join the festal throng. 2 Zion hears the watchmen shouting, her heart leaps up with joy undoubting, she stands and waits with eager eyes; see her Friend from heaven descending, adorned with truth and grace unending! Her light burns clear, her star doth rise. Now come, thou precious Crown, Lord Jesus, God's own Son! Alleluia! Let us prepare to follow there, where in thy supper we may share. 3 Every soul in thee rejoices; from earth and from angelic voices be glory given to thee alone! Now the gates of pearl receive us, thy presence never more shall leave us, we stand with angels round thy throne. Earth cannot give below the bliss thou dost bestow. Alleluia! Grant us to raise, to length of days, the triumph-chorus of thy praise.
