Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: Jesus is God! The glorious bands Lyrics: 1 Jesus is God! The glorious bands Of holy angels sing Song of adoring praise to him, Their Maker and their King. He was true God in Bethlehem's crib, On Calvary's cross true God He who in heaven eternal reigned, In time on earth abode. 2 Jesus is God! Oh, could I now But compass land and sea, To teach and tell this single truth, How happy should I be! Oh, had I but an angel's voice, I would proclaim so loud,-- Jesus, the good, the beautiful, Is everlasting God! 3 Jesus is God! If on the earth This blessèd faith decays, More tender must our love become, More plentiful our praise. We are not angels, but we may Down in earth's corners kneel, And multiply sweet acts of love, And murmur what we feel. 4 Jesus is God! Let sorrow come, And pain, and every ill; All our worth while, for all are means His glory to fulfill; Worth while a thousand years of life, To speak one little word, If only by our faith we own The Godhead of our Lord! Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW

The earth belongs to God alone

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The earth belongs to God alone and all that it contains; the world and its inhabitants God's steadfast love maintains. 2 The Lord who brought the world to birth laid earth's foundations sure, and firm within the surging seas established them secure. 3 Who, then, are those who shall ascend the holy hill of God? And who is fit to stand within the presence of the Lord? 4 All those whose hands and hearts are clean, with no room in their mind for worthless vanities or vows of a deceitful kind. 5 These are the people who receive a blessing from the Lord, and vindication for their ways from God, their saving God. 6 O God of Jacob, help us all who gather in this place, to seek your presence with us now: we yearn to see your face.

O God, No Longer Hold Thy Peace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, no longer hold thy peace, no longer silent be; thine enemies lift up their head to fight thy saints and thee. Against thine own, whom thou dost love, their craft thy foes employ; they think to cut thy people off, thy church they would destroy. 2 Thine ancient foes, conspiring still, with one consent agree, and they who with thy people strive make war, O God, with thee. O God, who in our fathers' time didst smite our foes and thine, so smite thine enemies today who in their pride combine. 3 Make them like dust and stubble blown before the whirlwind dire, in terror driv'n before the storm of thy consuming fire. Confound them in their sin till they to thee for pardon fly, till in dismay they, trembling, own that thou art God Most High.

Author: John Swertner, 1746-1813 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Believing souls, rejoice and sing, Your risen Savior see, And say, “O death, where is thy sting! O grace, thy victory!” Rejoice, your conquering Savior lives, He lives to die no more; And life eternal freely gives, Since He our sorrows bore. 2 Sing praises to our risen Lord; Life, immortality, And lasting bliss are now restored For all, for you and me; Believe the wondrous deed, my soul, Adore His saving Name; Rejoice, ye saints, from pole to pole His love and power proclaim. 3 The Prince of glory bowed His head, Expiring on the Cross; But now the Lord is risen indeed, Is risen and lives for us; Rejoice, and in the dust adore The Lamb for sinners slain; He liveth now and evermore, For evermore to reign.

Back To The Cross I Go Again

Author: Henry Albert Becker Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Back to the Cross I go again, So oft as I have sinned, To sing again the glad refrain, That Jesus is my Friend: Hard by the Cross, where not a soul Has ever been cast out, I prostrate fall, confessing all, And banish ev'ry doubt. 2 Back to the Cross my prayer and praise At early dawn I bring, And there His grace in joyful lays My heart in peace shall sing: Hard by the Cross at eventide, When all my work is done, Secure I hide in His cleft side My failures ev'ry one. 3 Back to the Cross, where open arms Receive my troubled heart, And where no harms or dire alarms, Their cares to me impart; Hard by the Cross let me recline, And rest, O Christ, on this: That Thou art mine and I am Thine-- Thy will is, me to bless. 4 Back to the Cross in haste I go With each returning day: For well I know, His blood doth flow To wash my sin away: Hard by the Cross each day I rest, And learn at Jesus' feet My King's behest,--till with the blest In their sweet home I meet.
