Jesus! the name high over all

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 299 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all, in hell, or earth, or sky; angels and earthlings to it fall, and devils fear and fly, and devils fear and fly. 2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear, the name to sinners given; it scatters all their guilty fear, it turns their hell to heaven, it turns their hell to heaven. 3 Jesus! the prisoner's fetters breaks, and bruises Satan's head; power into strengthless souls it speaks, and life into the dead, and life into the dead. 4 O that the world might taste and see the riches of his grace; the arms of love that compass me would everyone embrace, would everyone embrace. 5 Happy, if with my dying breath I might but gasp his name: preach him to all, and cry in death: behold, behold the Lamb, behold, behold the Lamb!

Where is the Savior now

Author: Anon. Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-8 Lyrics: 1 Where is the Saviour now, Whose smiles I once possessed? Till he return I bow, By heavy grief oppressed: My days of happiness are gone, And I am left to weep alone. 2 Where can the mourner go, And tell his tale of grief? Ah, who can soothe his woe. Ah, who can give relief? Earth can not heal the wounded breast, Or give the troubled conscience rest. 3 Jesus, thy smiles impart; My gracious Lord, return; Bind up my broken heart, And bid me cease to mourn! Then shall this night of sorrow flee, And peace and heaven be found in thee. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; In Time of Declension

When the King Shall Come Again

Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again all his power revealing; splendor shall announce his reign, life and joy and healing: earth no longer in decay, hope no more frustrated; this is God's redemption day longingly awaited. 2 In the desert trees take root, fresh from God's creation; plants and flowers and sweetest fruit join the celebration. Rivers spring up from the earth, barren lands adorning: valleys, this is your new birth; mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees; fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful. Deaf ears hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping. 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people, homeward bound, all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!
