Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 442 hymnals Topics: Moravian festivals--July 11 Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand in sparkling raiment bright, the armies of the ransomed saints throng up the steeps of light! 'Tis finished, all is finished, their fight with death and sin. Fling open wide the golden gates and let the victors in! 2 What rush of halleluias fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation and all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes a thousand fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings on Canaan's happy shore; what knitting severed friendships up, where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle that brimmed with tears of late, no orphans left without a home, nor mourners desolate. 4 Bring near your great salvation, O Lamb for sinners slain; fill up the roll of your elect, then take your pow'r and reign! Appear, Desire of nations, your exiles long for home; show in the heav'n your promised sign; then, Prince and Savior, come. Scripture: Isaiah 25:6-9 Used With Tune: EASTHAM

Forsøger eder selv

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Psalms at Autumn Festival Lyrics: 1 Forsøger eder selv, Om I i Troen ere, Om I ved Troens Kraft I Hjertet Jesus bære, Og om I følge ham I Kors taalmodig ind Med kjærlig Ydmyghed Og Troens rene Sind! 2 Vor Tro den er et Lys I Hjertet dybt forborgen, Som bryder deilig frem, Ret som den klare Morgen, Gjør Sjelen frydefuld, Anselig, deilig rig, Ny, ret forandert og I Sindet Jesu lig. 3 Den øser altid af Sin Jesu rige Gaver, Og deler gjerne med Sin Næste, hvad den haver; I Jesu kan den faa Alt hvad den ønsker sig, Hans Gunst opholder den Og gjør den seierrig. 4 Den tviler ei at faa, Hvad Gud i ordet lover, Og derfor, naar Gud vil, Sig ind i Modgang vover, Thi Troen føder Haab Af det, den har og ser, Gjør sig forsikret om, At finde altid mer. 5 Af Haab er Kjærlighed, Thi naar man ret befinder, Hvor sød en Gud vi har, Og evig har og finder, Saa bryder dette ud I Hjertens Kjærlighed Endog mod den, som er Os bitter gram og vred. 6 Guds Fiender vare vi, Dog vilde han os skjænke Sin egen kjære Søn; Hvor Faa, som det betænke! Naar denne Kjærlighed I Hjertet bliver tændt, I Øieblikket er alt Had og Nid bortbrændt. 7 Hvad Gud gjør os, det bOr Vi gjøre mod vor Næste; Naar Nogen gjør os Ondt, Vi søge deres Bedste, At bøde Andres Trods, Forfølgelse og Spot Med Forbøn, gode Ord, Og altid gjøre Godt. 8 Naar Gud ved meget Kors Os ret paa Prøve sætter, Tro gjør Taalmodighed, Som alt det Tunge letter; Den dæmper Kjødets Knur Og tager Bønnen fat, Og ved, at al vor Nød Gud Vei og Maal har sat. 9 Man lærer derudi Sin egen Magt at kjende, I Bønnen Nat og dag Til Jesum sig at vende, Foragter da sig selv, Forbander Verdens Lyst Og søger Trøst og Kraft Af Jesu milde Bryst. 10 Man holder sig til det, Som Jesus os fortjente, Faar derved Kraft sit Pund Og Gaver at forrente, Staar af fra Verdens Skik Og Kjødets frækkesind, Og ser kun alt paa Gud, Hvor man gaar ud og ind. 11 Prøv, om til saadant Liv Du haver Troens Kræfter, Thi det er christi Liv, Som Troen str"ber efter; Den gjør retfærdig først, Saa hellig, giver Lyst Til Godt: er dette nu At finde i dit Bryst? 12 O lad mig, Jesu, mig I Troen daglig øve, Saa skal mig ingen Ting Et helligt Liv berOve; Hvor Lyset er, der maa Jo Glandsen ytre sig. O, lær mig, at jeg ret Og altid følger dig!

A mighty fortress is our God

Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 705 hymnals Topics: TheChurch Year Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay, whate'er doth happen. The old malignant foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours naught can be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same,-- He holds the field forever. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All eager to devour us, Our souls to fear should little yield, They cannot overpower us. The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let abide, Nor thanks be due them for it; The Lord of hosts is by our side, Grants us His gifts and Spirit; And though they take our life, Goods, honor--children, wife, Yet, when their worst is done, They still have nothing won: The Kingdom ours remaineth.

O Worship the King

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,204 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Thanksgving Day / Harvest Festival First Line: O worship the King, all-glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above, O gratefully sing his power and his love: our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail. Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love, whom angels delight to worship above! Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze, in true adoration shall sing to your praise! Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: LYONS

Pleasant are thy courts above

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 250 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are thy courts above in the land of light and love; pleasant are thy courts below in this land of sin and woe; Oh, my spirit longs and faints for the converse of thy saints, for the brightness of thy face, for thy fullness, God of grace. 2 Happy birds that sing and fly round thy altars, O most high; happier souls that find a rest in a heavenly Father's breast; like the wandering dove that found no repose on earth around, they can to their ark repair, and enjoy it ever there. 3 Happy souls, their praises flow even in this vale of woe; waters in the desert rise, manna feeds them from the skies, on they go from strength to strength, till they reach thy throne at length, at thy feet adoring fall, who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win, guide me through a world of sin, keep me by thy saving grace, give me at thy side a place; sun and shield alike thou art, guide and guard my erring heart; grace and glory flow from thee; shower, O shower them, Lord, on me.
