This is the day the Lord hath made
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 598 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made,
he calls the hours his own;
let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
and praise surround the throne.
2 Today he rose and left the dead,
and Satan's empire fell;
today the saints his triumphs spread,
and all his wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to the anointed King,
to David's holy Son!
Make haste to help us, Lord, and bring
salvation from thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to us
with messages of grace!
Who comes, in God his Father's name,
to save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
the Church on earth can raise;
the highest heavens in which he reigns
shall give him nobler praise. Used With Tune: LONDON NEW
This is the day the Lord hath made
When Wounded Sore the Stricken Heart
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 104 hymnals First Line: When wounded sore, the stricken heart Lyrics: 1. When wounded sore, the stricken heart
Lies bleeding and unbound,
One only hand, a piercèd hand,
Can salve the sinner’s wound.
2. When sorrow swells the laden breast,
And tears of anguish flow,
One only heart, a broken heart,
Can feel the sinner’s woe.
3. When penitential grief has wept
Over some foul dark spot,
One only stream, a stream of blood,
Can wash away the blot.
4. ’Tis Jesus’ blood that washes white,
His hand that brings relief,
His heart that’s touched with all our joys,
And feels for all our grief.
5. Lift up Thy bleeding hand, O Lord,
Unseal that cleansing tide;
We have no shelter from our sin
But in Thy wounded side. Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD (Richardson)

Psalm 87: Upon the hills of holiness
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Upon the hills of holiness Lyrics:
1Upon the hills of holiness
he his foundation sets.
2God, more than Jacob’s dwellings all,
delights in Sion’s gates.
3Things glorious are said of thee,
thou city of the Lord.
4Rahab and Babel I, to those
that know me, will record:
Behold ev’n Tyrus, and with it
the land of Palestine,
And likewise Ethiopia;
this man was born therein.
5And it of Sion shall be said,
This man and that man there
Was born; and he that is most High
himself shall stablish her.
6When God the people writes, he’ll count
that this man born was there.
7There be that sing and play; and all
my well-springs in thee are.
Scripture: Psalm 87

Welcome, Thou Victor in the Strife
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Welcome, Thou victor in the strife,
Welcome from out the grave;
Today we triumph in Thy life
Around Thy empty grave;
Today we triumph in Thy life
Around Thy empty grave.
2. Our enemy is put to shame,
His short lived triumph o’er;
Our God is with us, we exclaim,
We fear our foe no more;
Our God is with us, we exclaim,
We fear our foe no more.
3. The dwellings of the just resound
With songs of victory;
For in their midst, Thou, Lord, art found,
And brightest peace with Thee;
For in their midst, Thou, Lord, art found,
And brightest peace with Thee.
4. O let Thy conquering banner wave
O’er hearts Thou makest free;
And point the path that from the grave
Leads heav’nward up to Thee;
And point the path that from the grave
Leads heav’nward up to Thee.
5. We bury all our sin and shame
Deep in our Savior’s tomb,
And seek the treasure there, that time
Nor change can e’er consume;
And seek the treasure there, that time
Nor change can e’er consume.
6. We die with Thee: O let us live
Henceforth to Thee aright;
The blessings Thou hast died to give
Be daily in our sight;
The blessings Thou hast died to give
Be daily in our sight.
7. Fearless we lay us in the tomb,
And sleep the night away,
If Thou art there to break the gloom,
And call us back to day;
If Thou art there to break the gloom,
And call us back to day. Used With Tune: CORONATION

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,978 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross?
A foll'wer of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause?
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed thru bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign -
Increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.
Amen.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
The Head That Once Was Crowned
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 519 hymnals First Line: The head that once was crowned with thorns 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 heav'n affords
Is his by sov'reign right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heav'n'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 giv'n;
Their name, an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heav'n.
5 They suffer with their Lord below:
They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry 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
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; John Rees, 19th cent. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,475 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
4 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
5 When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun.

Oh, That the Lord Would Guide my Ways
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 386 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
Oh, that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
2 Order my footsteps by Thy Word
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wand'ring sheep.
4 Make me to walk in Thy commands--
'Tis a delightful road--
Nor let my head or heart or hands
Offend against my God.
Scripture: Psalm 119:5 Used With Tune: EVAN
