Alleluia! Sing to Jesus

Author: William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 216 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Sing to Jesus! His the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia! his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood; Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood. 2 Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; alleluia! he is near us, faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him, when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, "I am with you evermore"? 3 Alleluia! Bread of Heaven, thou on earth our food, our stay: alleluia! here the sinful flee to thee from day to day; Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, plead for me, where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia! King eternal, thee the Lord of lords we own: Alleluia! born of Mary, earth thy footstool, heaven thy throne. Thou within the veil hast entered, robed in flesh, our great high priest: thou on earth both priest and victim in the eucharistic feast. 5 Alleluia! Sing to Jesus! His the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia! his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood; Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.

Praise

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 207 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:32 First Line: O for a shout of sacred joy Lyrics: 1 O for a shout of sacred joy To God the Sov’reign King! Let ev’ry land their tongues employ, And hymns of triumph sing. 2 Jesus our God ascends on high, His heav’nly guards around, Attend him rising thro' the sky, With trumpet's joyful sound. 3 While angels shout and praise their King, Let mortals learn their strains; Let all the earth his honours sing; O’er all the earth he reigns. 4 Rehearse his praise with awe profound, Let knowledge lead the song; Nor mock him with a solemn sound Upon a thoughtless tongue. 5 In Is'rel stood his ancient throne, He lov'd that chosen race; But now he calls the world his own, And heathens taste his grace. 6 The Gentile nations are the Lord’s, There Abrah'm’s God is known; While pow'rs and princes, shields and swords, Submit before his throne.

Go, worship at Immanuel's feet

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:20-22 Lyrics: Go, worship at Immanuel's feet, See in his face what wonders meet! Earth is too narrow to express His worth, his glory, or his grace. [The whole creation can afford But some faint shadows of my Lord; Nature, to make his beauties known, Must mingle colors not her own.] [Is he compared to wine or bread? Dear Lord, our souls would thus be fed That flesh, that dying blood of thine, Is bread of life, is heav'nly wine.] [Is he a tree? The world receives Salvation from his healing leaves; That righteous branch, that fruitful bough, Is David's root and offspring too.] [Is he a rose? Not Sharon yields Such fragrancy in all her fields: Or if the lily he assume, The valleys bless the rich perfume.] [Is he a vine? His heav'nly root Supplies the boughs with life and fruit O let a lasting union join My soul the branch to Christ the vine!] [Is he the head? Each member lives, And owns the vital powers he gives; The saints below and saints above Joined by his Spirit and his love.] [Is he a fountain? There I bathe, And heal the plague of sin and death These waters all my soul renew, And cleanse my spotted garments too.] [Is he a fire? He'll purge my dross; But the true gold sustains no loss: Like a refiner shall he sit, And tread the refuse with his feet.] [Is he a rock? How firm he proves! The Rock of ages never moves; Yet the sweet streams that from him flow Attend us all the desert through.] [Is he a way? He leads to God, The path is drawn in lines of blood; There would I walk with hope and zeal, Till I arrive at Zion's hill.] [Is he a door? I'll enter in Behold the pastures large and green, A paradise divinely fair; None but the sheep have freedom there.] [Is he designed the corner-stone, For men to build their heav'n upon? I'll make him my foundation too, Nor fear the plots of hell below.] [Is he a temple? I adore Th' indwelling majesty and power And still to this most holy place, Whene'er I pray, I turn my face.] [Is he a star? He breaks the night Piercing the shades with dawning light; I know his glories from afar, I know the bright, the morning star.] [Is he a sun? His beams are grace, His course is joy and righteousness; Nations rejoice when he appears To chase their clouds and dry their tears. O let me climb those higher skies, Where storms and darkness never rise! There he displays his power abroad, And shines and reigns th' incarnate God.] Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars, Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears; His beauties we can never trace, Till we behold him face to face.

At thy feet, our God and Father

Author: James D. Burns Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:19 Lyrics: 1 At thy feet, our God and Father, Who hast blessed us all our days, We with grateful hearts would gather, To begin the year with praise: Praise for light so brightly shining On our steps from heav'n above; Praise for mercies daily twining Round us golden cords of love. 2 Jesus, for thy love most tender, On the cross for sinners shown, We would praise thee, and surrender All our hearts to be thine own: With so blest a Friend provided, We upon our way would go, Sure of being safely guided, Guarded well from ev'ry foe. 3 Ev'ry day will be the brighter When thy gracious face we see; Ev'ry burden will be lighter When we know it comes from thee. Spread thy love's broad banner o'er us, Give us strength to serve and wait, Till the glory breaks before us Through the city's open gate. Amen. Used With Tune: CRUCIFER
