Let Christian Faith and Hope Dispel

Author: Anonymous; John Logan Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let Christian faith and hope dispel The fears of guilt and woe; The Lord Almighty is our Friend, And who can prove a foe? 2. The Savior died, but rose again Triumphant from the grave: And pleads our cause at God’s right hand, Omnipotent to save. 3. Who then can e’er divide us more From Jesus and His love, Or break the sacred chain that binds The earth to Heav’n above? 4. Let troubles rise, and terrors frown, And days of darkness fall; Through Him all dangers we’ll defy, And more than conquer all. 5. Nor death, nor life, nor earth, nor hell, Nor time’s destroying sway Can e’er efface us from His heart Or make His love decay. 6. Each future period that will bless As it has blessed the past; He loved us from the first of time, He loves us to the last. Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS Text Sources: recast in Scottish Paraphrases, 1781

All Glory to God in the Sky

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All glory to God in the sky, And peace upon earth be restored! O Jesus, exalted on high, Appear our omnipotent Lord: Who meanly in Bethlehem born, Didst stoop to redeem a lost race, Once more to Thy creature return, And reign in Thy kingdom of grace. 2. When Thou in our flesh didst appear, All nature acknowledged Thy birth; Arose the acceptable year, And Heaven was opened on earth. Receiving its Lord from above, The world was united to bless The Giver of concord and love, The Prince and the Author of peace. 3. O wouldst Thou again be made known, Again in Thy Spirit descend, And set up in each of Thine own A kingdom that never shall end! Thou only art able to bless, And make the glad nations obey, And bid the dire enmity cease, And bow the whole world to Thy sway. 4. Come then to Thy servants again, Who long Thy appearing to know, Thy quiet and peaceable reign, In mercy establish below: All sorrow before Thee shall fly, And anger and hatred be o’er, And envy and malice shall die, And discord afflict us no more. 5. No horrid alarm of war Shall break our eternal repose; No sound of the trumpet is there, Where Jesus’ Spirit o’erflows: Appeased by the charms of Thy grace We all shall in amity join, And kindly each other embrace, And love with a passion like Thine.
