Jacob's Ladder
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. GEORGE'S WINDSOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1
Jacob's Ladder
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]

"Rest and Love"
Author: Mrs. Eric Findlater Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: Lord, remove the vail away Lyrics: 1 Lord, remove the vail away,
Let us see thyself to-day:
Thou who camest from on high,
For our sins to bleed and die,
Help us now to cast aside
All that would our hearts divide;
With the Father and the Son
Let thy living church be one.
2 Oh, from earthly cares set free,
Let us find our rest in thee;
May our toils and conflicts cease
In the calm of Sabbath peace;
That thy people here below
Something of the bliss may know,
Something of the rest and love,
In the Sabbath-home above.
3 Give our souls the spotless dress
Of thy perfect righteousness;
So at length each welcome guest,
Then shall enter to the feast,
Take the harp and raise the song,
All thy ransomed ones among;
Earthly cares and sorrows o'er,
Joys to last for evermore. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE

Christ the Lord Is Risen To-day
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals First Line: Christ the Lord is ris'n today Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is ris'n to-day,
Christians, haste your vows to pay,
Offer ye your praises meet,
At the Paschal Victim's feet.
For the sheep the Lamb hath bled,
Sinless, in the sinner's stead;
"Christ is ris'n," to-day we cry;
Now He lives, no more to die.
2 Christ, the Victim undefiled,
Man to God hath reconciled,
Whilst in strange and awful strife
Met together Death and Life.
Christians, on this happy day,
Haste with joy your vows to pay;
"Christ is risen," to-day we cry;
Now He lives, no more to die.
3 Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the First-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and power
Lives and reigns for evermore.
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, Thou King of victory!
Hail, Thou Prince of Life adored!
Help and save us, gracious Lord.
Amen.

Wake the Song of Jubilee
Author: Leonard Bacon, 1802-1881 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 202 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wake the song of jubilee,
Let it echo o’er the sea!
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.
