I Will Sing of My Redeemer

Author: Philip P. Bliss Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 324 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I will sing of my Redeemer and his wondrous love to me; on the cruel cross he suffered, from the curse to set me free. Sing, O sing of my Redeemer! With his blood he purchased me; on the cross he sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free. 2 I will tell the wondrous story, how my lost estate to save, in his boundless love and mercy, he the ransom freely gave. I will praise my dear Redeemer, his triumphant power I'll tell: how the victory he gives me over sin and death and hell. 3 I will sing of my Redeemer and his heavenly love for me; he from death to life has brought me, Son of God, with him to be. Sing, O sing of my Redeemer! With his blood he purchased me; on the cross he sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free.

Meet us in our desert journey; give a sign that you are near: burning bushes, parted waters, food aplenty in the wild. As we look for signs and wonders, help us see you in a child. 2 God Incarnate, we are waiting for the feast day of your birth. Looking back and looking forward to the Christ's return to earth. Help us to proclaim the gospel, 'til the world is reconciled. Let us set your holy table for each woman, man, and child. 3 God the Spirit, we are waiting for your presence here and now. Humbled by our sinful weakness, at your mercy we will bow. Search our hearts and make us ready, speak in language strong and mild, help each one of us, your people, to receive you like a child.

King, Messiah, Long Expected

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 King, Messiah, long expected, Thou art come unto Thine own! Promised seed of the elected, Heir foretold of David’s throne! Long for Thee they watched and hearkened— King and patriarch, priest and seer; Faith waxed cold, and hope was darkened; When men looked not—Thou wert here. 2 In the time and place appointed, When the ordered years had sped, Came the Prince, the true Anointed, To His throne, the manger bed: There the infant King, fulfilling, All things for His people’s sake, Learned today obedience willing, Deigned the covenant seal to take. 3 Surely in that hour of wonder, Faithful Abraham in his rest, Saw the shadows part asunder, Saw Thy dawning, and was blest! Surely then the gracious vision Through Thine unseen kingdoms thrilled; And in Jesu’s circumcision Ages saw their hope fulfilled! 4 Father of the new creation! Prophet of the latter time! Leader of the ransomed nation To the better Canaan’s clime! Though, from Gentile stock arising, Alien branches once were we, Thou hast said, in our baptizing, We are circumcised in Thee. 5 So this day with new thanksgiving Shall Thy faithful seed draw near; So, ’mid prayers for holier living, Praise shall deck our opening year; Praise, because our feast day sees us Built on Thee, the Cornerstone; And the mighty name of Jesus Binds today the world in one.

Hearts To Heaven And Voices Raise

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 219 hymnals First Line: Alleluia, alleluia! Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, alleluia! Hearts to Heaven and voices raise: Sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise. He, who on the cross a Victim, for the world’s salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead. 2 Now the iron bars are broken, Christ from death to life is born, Glorious life, and life immortal, on the holy Easter morn. Christ has triumphed, and we conquer by His mighty enterprise: We with Him to life eternal by His resurrection rise. 3 Christ is risen, Christ, the first fruits of the holy harvest field, Which will all its full abundance at His second coming yield: Then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before Him wave, Ripened by His glorious sunshine from the furrows of the grave. 4 Christ is risen, we are risen! Shed upon us heavenly grace, Rain and dew and gleams of glory from the brightness of Thy face; That we, with our hearts in Heaven, here on earth may fruitful be, And by angel hands be gathered, and be ever, Lord, with Thee. 5 Alleluia, alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia! to the Savior who has gained the victory; Alleluia! to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity: Alleluia, alleluia! to the Triune Majesty. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
