The God of Abraham praise

Author: Thomas Olivers Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 459 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: The God of Abraham praise, Who reigns enthroned above; Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love; Jehovah, great I AM, By earth and heaven confessed; I bow and bless the sacred Name, For ever blest. He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend, I shall, on angel-wings upborne, To heaven ascend: I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore, And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore. There dwells the Lord, our King, The Lord, our Righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace; On Sion's sacred height His kingdom he maintains, And, glorious with his saints in light, For ever reigns. The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high; Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! They ever cry: Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. Amen. Used With Tune: COVENANT

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Ascension Lyrics: See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, his chariot, To his heavenly palace gate! Hark! the choirs of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! 478 He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled his foes. While he raised his hands in blessing, He was parted from his friends While their eager eyes behold him, He upon the clouds ascends; He who walked with God and pleased him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated To his everlasting home. Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With his blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before him quail; Now he plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of his grace. Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in thine Ascension, We by faith behold our own. Amen. Used With Tune: REX GLORIAE

While Yet The Morn Is Breaking

Muehlmann Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Sunday School Hymns Divine Care and Providence Lyrics: 1 While yet the morn is breaking, I thank my God once more, Beneath whose care awaking, I find the night is o'er: I thank Him that He calls me To life and health anew; I know, whate'er befalls me, His care will still be true. 2 Guardian of Israel, hear me, Watch o'er me thro' the day; In all I do be near me, For others too I pray: To Thee I would commend them, Our church, our youth, our land; Direct them and defend them, When dangers are at hand. 3 Oh, gently grant Thy blessing, That we may do Thy will, No more Thy ways transgressing, Our proper task fulfill: With Peter's full affiance Let down our nets again; If Thou art our reliance, Our toil will not be vain. 4 Thou art the Vine, oh, nourish The branches graft in Thee, And let them grow and flourish, A fair and fruitful tree. Thy Spirit put within us, And let His gifts of grace To all good actions win us, That best may show His praise. Used With Tune: [While yet the morn is breaking]

"Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. "To you, in David's town, this day Is born of David's line, The Savior, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign: "The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid."
