Love Must Be Sincere And Honest

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Love must be sincere and honest; Hate what’s evil, keep the good. Be devoted to each other; Honor them as Jesus would. Never lack in zeal or fervor; Serve the Lord with all your heart. 2 Patient, joyful, always faithful, In affliction, hope and prayer. Share with those who need assistance, Always ready your home to share. Bless all those who persecute you; Bless and do not curse their names. 3 Joy with those who are rejoicing; Weep with those who mourn their fate. Live in peace; be not conceited; Mingle with those of low estate. Never pay back wrong with evil, Do what’s right in all men’s eyes. 4 Live at peace with every person; Avenge not—God metes out wrath; Give your enemy food and water: He may change his wicked path; Don’t let evil triumph o’er you; Overcome each wrong with good.

May Thy presence, May Thy presence With us evermore be found. 3 So, when e'er the signal's given Us from earth to call away, Borne on angel's wings to heaven, Glad the summons to obey, May we ready, may we ready, Rise and reign in endless day.

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 541 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious. See the Man of Sorrows now, from the fight returned victorious. Every knee to him shall bow: Crown him! crown him! crown him! crown him! Crowns become the victor's brow. 2 Crown the Saviour; angels, crown him; rich the trophies Jesus brings; in the seat of power enthrone him, while the vault of heaven rings: Crown him! crown him! crown him! crown him! Crown the Saviour, King of kings! 3 Sinners in derision crowned him, mocking thus the Saviour's claim; saints and angels crowd around him, own his title, praise his name: Crown him! crown him! crown him! crown him! Spread abroad the victor's fame! 4 Hark! those bursts of acclamation, hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station: O what joy the sight affords. Crown him! crown him! crown him! crown him! King of kings and Lord of lords!

See The Conqueror Mounts In Triumph

Author: Chr. Wordsworth Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror 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 hath gained the victory; He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquish'd sin and Satan; He by death has spoil'd His foes. 3 While He raised His hands in blessing, He was parted from His friends, While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends, He who walk'd with God and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated, To His everlasting home. 4 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heav'nly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels, Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own. Topics: Ascension Used With Tune: [See the Conqueror mounts in triumph]

Light's abode, celestial Salem

Author: St. Thomas a Kempis, 1379-1471; John Mason Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: Light's abode, celestial Salem, Vision whence true peace doth spring, Brighter than the heart can fancy, Mansion of the highest King; O how glorious are the praises Which of thee the prophets sing! There for ever and for ever Alleluia is outpoured; For unending, for unbroken Is the feast-day of the Lord; All is pure and all is holy That within thy walls is stored. 462 There no cloud nor passing vapour Dims the brightness of the air; Endless noonday, glorious noonday, From the Sun of suns is there; There no night brings rest from labour, For unknown are toil and care. O how glorious and resplendent, Fragile body, shalt thou be, When endued with so much beauty, Full of health, and strong, and free, Full of vigour, full of pleasure That shall last eternally! Now with gladness, now with courage, Bear the burden on thee laid, That hereafter these thy labours May with endless gifts be paid, And in everlasting glory Thou with brightness be arrayed. Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One, Consubstantial, Co-eternal, While unending ages run. Amen.

Holy Father, great Creator

Author: Alexander V. Griswold Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: Holy Father, great Creator, Source of mercy, love, and peace, Look upon the Mediator, Clothe us with his righteousness; Heavenly Father, Through the Savior hear and bless. Holy Jesus, Lord of glory, Whom angelic hosts proclaim, While we hear thy wondrous story, Meet and worship in thy Name, Dear Redeemer, In our hearts thy peace proclaim. Holy Spirit, Sanctifier, Come with unction from above, Raise our hearts to raptures higher, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever.
