Why should the children of a King

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 339 hymnals Topics: Power and majesty of God Lyrics: Why should the children of a King Go mourning all their days? Great Comforter! descend and bring Some tokens of thy grace. Dost thou not dwell in all the saints, And seal the heirs of heav'n? When wilt thou banish my complaints, And show my sins forgiv'n? Assure my conscience of her part In the Redeemer's blood And bear thy witness with my heart, That I am born of God. Thou art the earnest of his love, The pledge of joys to come; And thy soft wings, celestial Dove, Will safe convey me home. Scripture: Romans 8:14

Jesus, in thee our eyes behold

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Power and majesty of God Lyrics: Jesus, in thee our eyes behold A thousand glories more, Than the rich gems and polished gold The sons of Aaron wore. They first their own burnt-offerings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all thy nature clean. [Fresh blood as constant as the day Was on their altar spilt; But thy one offering takes away For ever all our guilt.] [Their priesthood ran through several hands, For mortal was their race; Thy never-changing office stands Eternal as thy days.] [Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron within the veil appears Before the golden throne: But Christ, by his own powerful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows his own sacrifice.] Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Zion's heav'nly hill; Looks like a lamb that has been slain, And wears his priesthood still. He ever lives to intercede Before his Father's face: Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father's grace. Scripture: Hebrews 7

God Saved His People from Distress

Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Glory And Majesty Of God Lyrics: 1 God saved His people from distress And led them through the wilderness; Then mountains trembled in their place, The heavens were bowed before His face. With copious showers Thou didst assuage The thirsting of Thy heritage; Thy congregation dwelt secure; Thou, God, art gracious to the poor. 2 The Lord sent forth His mighty word, And shouts of victory were heard; The women came, a mighty throng, To join the glad triumphant song. When God His chosen people led, The kings and armies turned and fled; The hosts of God victorious fought, And home their spoils and trophies brought. 3 God's people rested, free from care, In glorious peace and beauty fair; Their mighty King did overthrow The hostile kings like driven snow. All mountains unto God belong, But Zion's holy mountains strong Above them all the Lord loves well, And there He will forever dwell. 4 Great hosts to holy wars have trod, The armies of the living God; Among them He reveals His face, The God of justice and of grace. Thou hast ascended up on high And captive led captivity; They come with gifts who did rebel, That with them God the Lord might dwell. 5 Blest be the Lord! for us He cares And daily all our burden bears; Our God is mighty, strong to save; Jehovah frees us from the grave. God's unrelenting enemies No peace shall find in earth or seas; His people shall triumphant go, Victorious over every foe. 6 With glorious pomp our King and God Has entered into His abode With sacred minstrelsy and song, While maidens with their timbrels throng. Assemble ye before His face, All ye that spring from Israel’s race; Ye chosen tribes, with one accord Come ye, and bless your God, the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 68 Used With Tune: VANDER WERP

Lord, Thou has search'd and seen me through

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 327 hymnals Topics: Majesty of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast search'd and seen me through, Thine eye commands with piercing view My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh, with all their powers. 2 Could I so false, so faithless prove, To quit Thy service and Thy love; Where, Lord, could I Thy presence shun, Or from Thy dreadful glory run? 3 The veil of night is no disguise, No screen from Thine all-searching eyes; Thy hand can seize Thy foes as soon Through midnight shades as blazing noon. 4 Oh, may these thoughts possess my breast, Where’er I rove, where’er I rest! Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there.

The Lord of glory reigns; he reigns on high

Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: The divine Perfections The Greatness and Majesty of God Lyrics: 1 The Lord of glory reigns; he reigns on high; His robes of state are strength and majesty: This wide creation rose at his command, Built by his word and 'stablish'd by his hand: Long stood his throne, e'er he began creation, And his own Godhead is the firm foundation. 2 God is th' eternal King: Thy foes in vain Raise their rebellion to confound thy reign; In vain the storms, in vain the floods arise, And roar, and toss their waves against the skies; Foaming at heav'n, they rage with wild commotion, But heav'n's high arches scorn the swelling ocean. 3 Ye tempests, rage no more! ye floods, be still! And the mad world submissive to his will! Built on his truth, his church must ever stand; Firm are his promises, and strong his hand: See his own sons, when they appear before him, Bow at his footstool, and with fear adore him!
