Lift Up Your Heads In Joyful Hope
Author: Martin Madan; Richard W. Adams Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads in joyful hope,
Salute the happy morn;
Hear heav’nly power proclaim the hour:
Lo, Jesus Christ is born.
All glory be to God on high,
To Him all praise is due;
The promise sealed, the Lord revealed,
He proves the record true.
2 Let joy around like rivers flow,
Flow on, and still increase,
Spread o’er the earth at Jesus’ birth,
With Heav’n and men at peace.
Rejoice, come see, salvation free
For Adam’s helpless race:
From Heaven’s throne to save His own,
Messiah comes with grace.
3 Then let us join the skies above,
Where shining seraphs sing;
Join angel powers, their Lord is ours,
Our prophet, priest, and king.
The tidings of great joy be spread
To earth’s remotest bound;
With heav’nly host, to every coast
We raise the joyful sound. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns from Various Authors, 10th ed., by Martin Madan (London: Henry Cock, 1783)

Our Father! Thy Dear Name Doth Show
Author: Charles H. Richards Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Father! Thy dear Name doth show
The greatness of thy love;
All are thy children here below
As in thy heaven above.
One family on earth are we
Throughout its widest span:
O help us everywhere to see
The brotherhood of man.
2 Alike we share thy tender care;
We trust one heav'nly Friend;
Before one mercy-seat in prayer
In confidence we bend;
Alike we hear thy loving call;
One heav'nly vision scan,
One Lord, one faith, one hope for all,
The brotherhood of man.
3 Bring in, we pray, the glorious day
When battle cries are stilled;
When bitter strife is swept away
And hearts with love are filled.
O help us banish pride and wrong,
Which since the world began
Have marred its peace; help us make strong
The brotherhood of man.
Amen. Topics: World Friendship Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

My Soul in Silence Waits for God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul in silence waits for God,
My Savior He has proved;
He only is my rock and tower;
I never shall be moved.
My honor is secure with God,
My Savior He has proved;
My refuge and my rock of strength
Are found in God alone.
2 My enemies my ruin seek,
They plot with fraud and guile;
Deceitful, they pretend to bless,
But inwardly revile.
My soul, in silence wait for God;
He is my help approved,
He only is my rock and tower,
And I shall not be moved.
3 My honor is secure with God,
My Savior He is known;
My refuge and my rock of strength
Are found in God alone.
On Him, ye people, evermore
Rely with confidence;
Before Him pour ye out your heart,
For God is our defense.
4 For surely men are helpers vain,
The high and the abased;
Yea, lighter than a breath are thy
When in the balance placed.
Trust not in harsh oppression's power
Nor in unrighteous gain;
If wealth increase, yet on your gold
Ye set your hearts in vain.
5 For God has spoken o'er and o'er,
And unto me has shown,
That saving power and lasting strength
Belong to Him alone.
Yea, lovingkindness evermore
Belongs to Thee, O Lord;
And Thou according to his work
Dost every man reward.

O Jesus, Once a Nazareth Boy
Author: Harry M. Hedge Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Jesus, once a Nazareth boy,
And tempted like as we,
All inward foes help us destroy
And spotless all to be.
We trust Thee for the grace to win
The high, victorious, goal,
Where purity shall conquer sin
In Christlike self control.
2. O Jesus, Prince of life and truth,
Beneath Thy banner bright,
We dedicate our strength and youth
To battle for the right;
We give our lives with glad intent
To serve the world and Thee,
To die, to suffer and be spent
To set our brothers free.
3. In serried ranks, we fearless tread,
O Captain of us all,
Thy glory on our banners shed,
We answer to Thy call;
And where the fiercest battles press
Against the hosts of sin,
To rescue those in dire distress
We gladly enter in. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: Living Hymns, by William E. Chalmers et al. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The Judson Press, 1923), number 54

How Bright These Glorious Spirits Shine!
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 156 hymnals First Line: How bright these glorious spirits shine Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the blissful seats
of everlasting day?
Lo! these are they from suff'rings great
who came to realms of light!
and in the blood of Christ have washed
those robes which shine so bright.
2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand
before the throne on high,
and serve the God they love, amidst
the glories of the sky.
His presence fills each heart with joy,
tunes ev'ry mouth to sing:
by day, by night, the sacred courts
with glad hosannas ring.
3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
nor suns with scorching ray;
God is their sun, whose cheering beams
diffuse eternal day.
The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne
shall o'er them still preside,
feed them with nourishment divine,
and all their footsteps guide.
4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock
where living streams appear;
and God the Lord from ev'ry eye
shall wipe off ev'ry tear.
To him who sits upon the throne,
the God whom we adore,
and to the Lamb that once was slain,
be glory evermore!
