I Love to Tell the Story

Author: Arabelle Katherine Hankey Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 1,243 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 I love to tell the story of unseen things above, of Jesus and his glory, of Jesus and his love. I love to tell the story, because I know it's true; it satisfies my longings as nothing else could do. Refrain: I love to tell the story; I'll sing this theme in glory and tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love. 2 I love to tell the story; how pleasant to repeat what seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet! I love to tell the story, for some have never heard the message of salvation from God’s own holy word. [Refrain] 3 I love to tell the story, for those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear it, like the rest. And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song, I'll sing the old, old story that I have loved so long. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 66 Used With Tune: HANKEY

Join all the glorious names

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 339 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names of wisdom, love, and power, that ever mortals knew, that angels ever bore: all are too mean to speak his worth, too mean to set my Saviour forth. 2 But O what gentle terms, what condescending ways doth our Redeemer use to teach his heavenly grace! Mine eyes with joy and wonder see what forms of love he bears for me. 3 Great Prophet of my God, my tongue would bless thy name; by thee the joyful news of our salvation came: the joyful news of sins forgiven, of hell subdued and peace with heaven. 4 Jesus my great High-Priest offered his blood and died; my guilty conscience seeks no sacrifice beside: his powerful blood did once atone, and now it pleads before the throne. 5 My dear almighty Lord, my Conqueror and my King, thy sceptre and thy sword, thy reign of grace, I sing; thine is the power: behold I sit in willing bonds before thy feet. 6 Now let my soul arise, and tread the tempter down; my Captain leads me forth to conquest and a crown. A feeble saint shall win the day, though death and hell obstruct the way. 7 Should all the hosts of death, and powers of hell unknown, put their most dreadful forms of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays superior power, and guardian grace. Scripture: Ephesians 1:20-22 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

With salvation's walls surrounded you may smile at all your foes. 2 Blessed inhabitants of Zion, washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, makes them kings and priests to God; 'tis his love his people raises in his courts to reign as kings, and as priests, his solemn praises each for a thankoff'ring brings. 3 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name. Fading are the worldling's pleasures, all their boasted pomp and show, solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 9:11 Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN

No profit will it yield thee To pine in grief and care; But God will lend His blessing In answer to thy prayer. 3 Thy faithful love and mercy, O Father, knoweth well The needs of all Thy children Who in Thy shadow dwell. And what Thy wisdom chooseth Thy might will surely do; According to Thy counsel Wilt Thou Thy work pursue. 4 Hope on, then, weak believer, In trouble undismayed; The gloomy night is waning, Thy fears shall be allayed. Possess thy soul in patience, Be firm in God's employ, And thou in radiant beauty Shalt see the Sun of Joy. Used With Tune: [Commit thou all that grieves thee]

If God Himself Be For Me

Author: Paul Gerhardt Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me Who shall against me be? His banner waving o'er me, My foes in terror flee. If God in Christ befriend me And stay me with His arm, The help that He doth lend me Will keep me safe from harm. 2 My faith and hope are founded On Jesus Christ alone, He on the cross was wounded That I a crown might own. For what the world doth treasure Is but a passing gain; Thro' Christ in fullest measure True riches I obtain. 3 In heaven there remaineth A blissful rest for me, A joy that never waneth, A life from sorrow free. Tho' tears I here am weeping And bitter sorrows know, I am in Jesus' keeping; He sweetens all my woe. 4 My heart for joy is leaping It can no more be sad, Is golden harvests reaping, Sees naught but sunshine glad. The Sun that cheers my spirit Is Christ, my Lord and King; The crown I shall inherit Makes me rejoice and sing. Used With Tune: [If God Himself be for me]
