Praise the Saviour!
Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Easter First Line: Praise the Saviour Lyrics: 1 Praise the Saviour,
Now and ever!
Praise Him all beneath the skies!
Prostrate lying,
Suffering, dying,
On the cross a Sacrifice;
Victory gaining,
Life obtaining,
Now in glory He doth rise.
2 All is finished,
And accomplished;
Christ is now our Righteousness,
He our Saviour,
Hath forever
Set us free from dire distress.
Through His merit
We inherit
Light and peace and happiness.
3 We're delivered;
Our bonds severed,
Christ hath bruised the serpent's head;
Death no longer
Is the stronger,
Hell itself is captive led.
Christ hath risen
From death's prison,
O'er the tomb He light hath shed.
4 Praise for ever
For His favor
Unto God the Father sing;
Praise the Saviour,
Praise Him ever.
Son of God, our Lord and King;
Praise the Spirit,
Through Christ's merit
He doth us salvation bring.
Praise the Saviour!
Prepare the way, O Zion!
Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lyrics: 1 Prepare the way, O Zion!
Ye awful deeps, rise high,
Sink low, ye towering mountains,
The Lord is drawing nigh:
The righteous King of glory,
Foretold in sacred story.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
2 O Zion, He approacheth,
Thy Lord and King for aye!
Palm-branches strew with gladness
Spread garments in His way.
God's promise faileth never,
Hosianna sound forever!
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion,
And hail Thy glorious King;
His tidings of salvation
To every people bring,
Who, waiting yet in sadness
Would sing His praise with gladness.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
4 He cometh not with warriors,
And not with pomp and show;
Yet smiteth He with terror
Sin, death, and every foe.
The Spirit's sword He wieldeth,
Not e'en to death He yieldeth,
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name.
5 Give heed, thou sinful people,
Thy King and Saviour own:
The kingdom which He foundeth
Is not an earthly one;
No power can overthrow it,
Nor earthly wisdom know it.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
6 The throne which He ascendeth
Is fixed in heaven above:
His sanctified dominion
Is light alone and love.
With grace and peace abounding
His praise be ever sounding.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
7 Jerusalem is fallen,
And closed its temple-door;
Its sacrifices ended;
Its scepter is no more.
Christ's kingdom never ceaseth,
Its glory still increaseth.
Oh, blest is He that came
In God the Father's Name!
Prepare the way, O Zion!
Rejoice, all ye believers
Appears in 331 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers,
And let your lights appear!
The evening is advancing,
The darker night is near,
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon He draweth nigh.
Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle,--
At midnight comes the cry.
2 The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.
The marriage-feast is waiting,
The gates wide-open stand:
Up, up, ye heirs of glory.
The Bridegroom is at hand!
3 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and sufferings bore,
Shall live and reign for ever,
When sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before Him
Your diadems of gold!
4 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted;
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption,
That brings us unto Thee!
Rejoice, all ye believers
See the Conqueror mounts in triumph
Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 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 choir of angel voices,
Joyful alleluias sing,
And the portals high are lifted,
To receive their heavenly King.
2 Who is this that comes in glory,
With the trump of jubilee!
Lord of battles, God of armies,
He hath gained the victory!
He who on the cross did suffer,
He who from the grave arose,
He hath vanquished sin and Satan,
He by death hath spoiled His foes.
3 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.
4 He hath raised our human nature
On the clouds to God's right hand:
There we sit in heavenly places,
There with Him 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.
See the Conqueror mounts in triumph
The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Appears in 522 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His by Sovereign right:
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal Light.
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below,
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His Name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above,
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of His love.
6 The cross He bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him:
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.
The Head that once was crowned with thorns
There is no Name so sweet on earth
Appears in 315 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals New Year Refrain First Line: We love to sing around our King Lyrics: 1 There is no Name so sweet on earth,
No Name so sweet in heaven,--
The Name before His wondrous birth
To Christ the Saviour given.
Chorus:
We love to sing around our King,
And hail Him blessed Jesus!
For there's no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.
2 His human Name, they did proclaim
When Abram's son they sealed Him,
The Name that still, by God's good will,
Deliverer revealed Him.
3 And when He hung upon the tree,
They wrote this Name above Him,
That all might see the reason we
Forever more must love Him.
4 So now, upon His Father's throne.
Almighty to release us
From sin and pains, in glory reigns
The Prince and Saviour Jesus.
5 To Jesus every knee shall bow,
And every tongue confess Him,
And we unite with saints in light,
To honor and to bless Him.
6 O Jesus, by that matchless Name,
Thy grace shall fail us never;
To-day as yesterday the same,
Thou art the same for ever.
There is no Name so sweet on earth
To realms of glory I behold
Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold
My risen Lord returning;
While I, a stranger on the earth,
For heaven am ever yearning.
Far from my heavenly Father's home
'Mid toil and sorrow here I roam.
2 Far from my home--how long, dear Lord,
Before my exile endeth?
But far beyond the realms of sense
My fervent prayer ascendeth:
My prayer, unuttered, but a groan,
Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne.
3 Then visions of the goodly land
By faith my soul obtaineth;
There I shall dwell for evermore
Where Christ in glory reigneth,
In mansions of that blest abode--
The city of the living God.
4 In that blest city is no night,
Nor any pain or weeping;
There is my treasure and my heart
Safe in my Saviour's keeping:
In heaven, my blessed Lord, with Thee,
May all my conversation be.
5 In glory He shall come again
To earth as He ascended;
So let me wait and watch and pray,
Until my day is ended.
That day, O Lord, is hid from me,
But daily do I wait for Thee.
6 And blessed shall that servant be,
O Lord, at Thy returning,
Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee,
Whose lamp is trimmed and burning;
Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee,
In joy and peace eternally.
To realms of glory I behold
Hark, a burst of heavenly music!
Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals First Line: Hark, a burst of heavenly music Lyrics: 1 Hark, a burst of heavenly music
From a band of seraphs bright,
Suddenly to earth descending
In the calm and silent night!
And the shepherds of Judea,
Watching in the earliest dawn,
Hear the glad and joyful tidings,
"Jesus, Prince of Peace, is born!"
Sweet and clear those angel voices,
Echoing through the starry sky,
As they chant the heavenly chorus,
"Glory be to God on high!"
2 Slumbering in a lowly manger
Lies the mighty Lord of all;
And before the holy stranger
See the trembling shepherds fall.
He has come, the long-expected,
Full of wisdom, love, and grace,
To redeem His ruined creatures,
To restore our fallen race.
So let angels wake the chorus!
So let ransomed men reply!
Chanting the celestial anthem,
"Glory be to God on high!"
3 And this joyful Christmas morning,
Breaking o'er the world below,
Tells against the wondrous story
Shepherds heard so long ago.
Who shall still our tuneful voices,
Who the tide of praise shall stem,
Which the blessed angels taught us
In the fields of Bethlehem?
Hark! we hear again the chorus,
Ringing through the starry sky,
And we join the heavenly anthem,
"Glory be to God on high!"
Hark, a burst of heavenly music!
Shall we not love thee, Mother dear
Author: H. W. Baker, 1821-77 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 Shall we not love thee, Mother dear,
Whom Jesus loves so well,
And to his glory year by year
Thy praise and honour tell?
2 Thee did he choose from whom to take
True flesh, his flesh to be;
In it to suffer for our sake,
And by it make us free.
3 O wondrous depth of love divine,
That he should bend so low;
And, Mary, O what joy was thine
The Saviour's love to know.
4 Joy to be Mother of the Lord,
Yet thine the truer bliss,
In every thought and deed and word
To be for ever his.
5 Now in the realm of life above
Close to thy Son thou art,
While on thy soul glad streams of love
Flow from his sacred heart.
6 Jesu, the Virgin's holy Son,
Praise we thy Mother blest;
Grant when our earthly course is run,
Life with the saints at rest. Used With Tune: BEATITUDO
