O Lord of Hosts, Almighty King

Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord of hosts, almighty king, Behold the sacrifice we bring: To every arm Thy strength impart; Thy Spirit shed through every heart. 2. Wake in our breasts the living fires, The holy faith that warmed our sires; Thy hand hath made our nation free; To die for her is serving Thee. 3. Be Thou a pillared flame to show The midnight snare, the silent foe; And when the battle thunders loud, Still guide us in its moving cloud. 4. God of all nations, sovereign Lord, In Thy dread name we draw the sword, We lift the starry flag on high That fills with light our stormy sky. 5. From treason’s rent, from murder’s stain, Guard Thou its folds till peace shall reign, Till fort and field, till shore and sea, Join our loud anthem, praise to Thee. Used With Tune: HESPERUS

Bright King Of Glory

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 99 hymnals First Line: Bright King of glory, dreadful God! Lyrics: 1 Bright King of glory, dreadful God! Our spirits bow before Thy seat, To Thee we lift a humble thought, And worship at Thine awful feet. 2 Thy power hath formed, Thy wisdom sways, All nature with a sovereign word; And the bright world of stars obeys The will of their superior Lord. 3 Mercy and truth unite in one, And smiling sit at Thy right hand; Eternal justice guards Thy throne, And vengeance waits Thy dread command. 4 A thousand seraphs, strong and bright, Stand round the glorious Deity; But who amongst the sons of light Pretends comparison with Thee? 5 Yet there is one of human frame, Jesus, arrayed in flesh and blood, Thinks it no robbery to claim A full equality with God. 6 Their glory shines with equal beams, Their essence is for ever one, Though they are known by different names, The Father God, and God the Son. 7 Then let the name of Christ our king With equal honors be adored; His praise let every angel sing, And all the nations own their Lord.

Faith Is a Living Pow'r

Author: Petrus Herbert (d. 1571) Appears in 74 hymnals First Line: Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n Which grasps the promise God has giv'n; Securely fixed on Christ alone, A trust that cannot be o’erthrown. 2 Faith finds in Christ whate’er we need To save and strengthen, guide and feed; Strong in His grace it joys to share His cross, in hope His crown to wear. 3 Faith to the conscience whispers peace; And bids the mourner’s sighing cease; By faith the children’s right we claim, And call upon our Father's name. 4 Such faith in us, O God, implant, And to our prayers Thy favor grant, In Jesus Christ, Thy saving Son, Who is our fount of health alone. Amen. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Christian Evidences Faith, Dependence Scripture: Hebrews 11:6 Used With Tune: HESPERUS

Let The Seventh Angel Sound On High

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the seventh angel sound on high, Let shouts be heard through all the sky; Kings of the earth, with glad accord, Give up your kingdoms to the Lord. 2 Almighty God, Thy power assume, Who wast, and art, and art to come: Jesus, the Lamb who once was slain, Forever live, forever reign! 3 The angry nations fret and roar, That they can slay the saints no more On wings of vengeance flies our God, To pay the long arrears of blood. 4 Now must the rising dead appear; Now the decisive sentence hear; Now the dear martyrs of the Lord Receive an infinite reward.

Not To Ourselves

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals First Line: Not to ourselves, who are but dust Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves, who are but dust, Not to ourselves is glory due, Eternal God, Thou only just, Thou only gracious, wise and true. 2 Shine forth in all Thy dreadful name; Why should a heathen’s haughty tongue Insult us, and, to raise our shame, Say, Where’s the God you’ve served so long? 3 The God we serve maintains His throne Above the clouds, above the skies; Through all the earth His will is done; He knows our groans, He hears our cries. 4 But the vain idols they adore Are senseless shapes of stone and wood; At best a mass of glittering ore, A silver saint or golden god. 5 With eyes and ears they carve their head; Deaf are their ears, their eyes are blind; In vain are costly offerings made, And vows are scattered in the wind. 6 Their feet were never made to move, Nor hands to save when mortals pray; Mortals that pay them fear or love Seem to be blind and deaf as they. 7 O Israel! make the Lord thy hope, Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest; The Lord shall build thy ruins up, And bless the people and the priest. 8 The dead can no more speak Thy praise, They dwell in silence and the grave; But we shall live to sing Thy grace, And tell the world Thy power to save.
