I rejoiced to hear them say

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: If the Lord our leader be Lyrics: 1 If the Lord our leader be, We may follow without fear; East or west, by land or sea, Home, with Him, is everywhere: When from Esau Jacob fled, Tho’ his pillow was a stone, And the ground his humble bed, Yet he was not left alone. 2 Kings are often waking kept, Racked with cares on beds of state; Never king like Jacob slept, For he lay at Heaven’s gate: Lo! he saw a ladder reared, Reaching to the heav’nly throne; At the top the Lord appeared, Spoke and claimed him for His own. 3 Fear not, Jacob, thou art Mine, And My presence with thee goes; On thy heart My love shall shine, And My arm subdue thy foes: From My promise comfort take, For My help in trouble call; Never will I thee forsake, ’Till I have accomplished all. 4 Well does Jacob’s ladder suit To the Gospel throne of grace; We are at the ladder’s foot, Every hour, in every place: By assuming flesh and blood, Jesus Heav’n and earth unites; We by faith ascend to God, God to dwell with us delights. 5 They who know the Savior’s name, Are for all events prepared; What can changes do to them, Who have such a guide and guard? Should they traverse earth around, To the ladder still they come; Every spot is holy ground, God is there—and He’s their home, Used With Tune: ST.

Thank and Praise Jehovah's Name

Author: Montgomery Appears in 111 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thank and praise Jehovah's name; For his mercies, firm and sure, From eternity the same, To eternity endure. Let the ransomed thus rejoice, Gathered out of every land, As the people of his choice, Plucked from the destroyer's hand. 2 In the wilderness astray, Hither, thither, while they roam, Hungry, fainting by the way, Far from refuge, shelter, home,— Then unto the Lord, they cry; He inclines a gracious ear, Sends deliverance from on high, Rescues them from all their fear. 3 To a pleasant land he brings, Where the vine and olive grow, Where from flowery hills the springs Through luxuriant valleys flow. Oh, that men would praise the Lord For his goodness to their race; For the wonders of his word, And the riches of his grace. Used With Tune: [Thank and praise Jehovah's name]

For our risen Lord and King From our sins hath made us free,-- Where, O death, is now thy sting? Where, O grave, thy victory? 3 Faith now knows He is the Lord, Gives assent to His decree, Trusts the promise in His Word And is crowned with victory, Shouting praises to the King, Who from sin hath made us free,-- Where, O death, is now thy sting? Where, O grave, thy victory? Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter; Processionals and Recessionals Easter Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE

Now is come the promised hour, Jesus reigns with sov’reign pow'r. Come, you nations, join and sing, To the throne your praises bring; Let it sound from shore to shore: "Jesus reigns forevermore." 2 Now the desert lands rejoice, And the islands join their voice; Yes, the whole creation sings, "Jesus is the King of kings." See the ransomed millions stand, Palms of conquest in their hands; This before the throne their strain: "Hell is vanquished, death is slain." 3 Blessing, honor, glory, might Are the Paschal Victim's right; Thrones and pow'rs in homage fall, To the Lamb and Lord of all, Time has nearly reached its sum; Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Jesus, whom all worlds adore, Come, and reign forevermore. Topics: Second Coming Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
