Fly Abroad, And Tell The Story

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Fly abroad, and tell the story, Of the mighty Savior’s birth; Say ye, that the Lord of glory Leaves His throne and comes to earth. He, before whom angels bow, Takes the form of man below. 2 Hither come, and view the Stranger, View the Infant lately born; See, He lives in yonder manger, By the world cast out in scorn. Mark Him well, for this is He, Born to set His people free. 3 Wonder not that thus ye see Him, Lying in this humble place: Nor indulge a wish to to free Him, From a state so low and base. Worldly pomp the Savior scorns: Him no outward state adorns. 4 Sing, ye saints, the Savior’s praises: ’Twas for you He suffered shame; Yes, He stooped that He might raise us To the place from whence He came. Though He now appears so low, Crowns shall soon adorn His brow. 5 Learn from His obscure condition How to think of all below; Scorn He meets, and opposition: Jesus finds in man His foe. Such our master was, and we Must expect like Him to be. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS OLD Text Sources: Hymns Not Before Published (Dublin: Thomas Johnston, 1815)

He who in the fiery furnace

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: He who in the fiery furnace Kept from harm the faithful three, Suffering in our mortal nature, Decks with life mortality,— Him, our fathers’ God, we praise, Blest and glorious always. Holy women bearing ointments, Sought the mortal, bathed in tears; But their sorrow changed to gladness, For the Living God appears; And they tell the news abroad Of the risen Son of God. Now we celebrate the triumph, Death and Hades overthrown, Earnest of a life unending; All the glory is Thine own; God, our fathers’ God, we praise, Blest and glorious always. Hallowed feast of holy gladness! Night that waits salvation’s birth, Till the Resurrection morning Breaks with splendour on the earth, And eternal light is poured By the Christ from death restored. Hymns of the Greek Church, 1900 Text Sources: Canon for Easter

In His blood I hide my guilt, Saying, lead me as Thou wilt. 3 Let me earnestly endeavor Thy good pleasure to fulfill; In me, thro' me, with me ever, Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will. Call me not until I'm built In Thy likeness, as Thou wilt. 4 With my voice to Thee uplifted, I would praise Thy wondrous love. Take my heart and make it gifted With sweet music from above, Lauding Thee, whose blood was spilt, Saying ever, as Thou wilt. Topics: Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: [Jesus, Jesus, Jesus only]

Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Anthem

Author: John M. Neale; Job Hupton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 81 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem, Cleave the skies with shouts of praise; Sing to Him who found a ransom, Ancient of eternal days, God of God, the Word Incarnate, Whom the heaven of heaven obeys. 2. Ere He raised the lofty mountains, Formed the seas, or built the sky, Love eternal, free, and boundless, Moved the Lord of Life to die, Foreordained the Prince of Princes For the throne of Calvary. 3. There, for us and our redemption, See Him all His life blood pour! There He wins our full salvation, Dies that we may die no more; Then, arising, lives forever, Reigning where He was before. 4. High on yon celestial mountains Stands His sapphire throne, all bright, Midst unending alleluias Bursting from the sons of light; Sion’s people tell His praises, Victor after hard won fight. 5. Bring your harps, and bring your incense, Sweep the string and pour the lay; Let the earth proclaim His wonders, King of that celestial day; He the Lamb once slain is worthy, Who was dead and lives for ay. 6. 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.

"I Stand At The Door"

Author: J. Traviss Lockwood Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: On the threshold lo! there standeth Lyrics: 1 On the threshold lo! there standeth One whose voice we’ve heard before; And He patiently demandeth Entrance at the closèd door: "Guilty sinner, let me in! I have come to cleanse your sin." 2 Hark! how tenderly He’s pleading, "I am standing at the door"; Whilst the sinner, still unheeding, Keeps it barred as heretofore. But the sceptered kingly hand Still an entrance doth demand. 3 ’Tis the Savior, long rejected, Wakes the echoes of the heart; ’Tis His voice, so long neglected, Bids our evil guests depart; And Himself our guest would stay, Keeping evil foes away. 4 O, behold His side so piercèd, Wounded hands and feet and brow; By His wounds from sin releasèd, We may hail Him Savior now; Coming, He would give us rest, All by Him so long unblest. 5 Come Thou in! no longer standing Knocking at our heedless heart; Come, and all our soul commanding, Never more from thence depart. Be our guest, and be our Lord, Crown and joy and great reward. Used With Tune: KRUNG THEP Text Sources: Murray's Songs for Sunday Schools and Gospel Meetings (Boston: White ^ Smith, 1876)
