Glory be to Jesus

Appears in 214 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus, Who, in bitter pains, Poured for me the lifeblood From His sacred veins. 2 Grace and life eternal In that blood I find; Blest be His compassion, Infinitely kind! 3 Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream, Which from endless torments Did the world redeem! 4 Abel's blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the blood of Jesus For our pardon cries! 5 Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high, Angel hosts rejoicing Make their glad reply. 6 Lift we then our voices, Swell the mighty flood; Louder still, and louder, Praise the precious Blood!

Good news from heaven the angels bring

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Appears in 855 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing; Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand forever; That Name to us is Love.

Hail Mary, full of grace. 3 Wherefore let all faithful people Tell the honour of her name, Let the Church in her foreshadowed Part in her thanksgiving claim; What Christ's Mother sang in gladness Let Christ's people sing the same. Hail Mary, full of grace. 4 Let us weave our supplications, She with us and we with her, For the advancement of the faithful, For each faithful worshipper, For the doubting, for the sinful, For each heedless wanderer. Hail Mary, full of grace. 5 *May the Mother's intercessions On our homes a blessing win, That the children all be prospered, Strong and fair and pure within, Following our Lord's own footsteps, Firm in faith and free from sin. Hail Mary, full of grace. 6 *For the sick and for the agèd, For our dear ones far away, For the hearts that mourn in secret, All who need our prayers today, For the faithful gone before us, May the holy Virgin pray. Hail Mary, full of grace. 7 Praise, O Mary, praise the Father, Praise thy Saviour and thy Son, Praise the everlasting Spirit, Who hath made thee ark and throne; O'er all creatures high exalted, Lowly praise the Three in One. Hail Mary, full of grace. Used With Tune: DEN DES VATERS SINN GEBOREN
