Songs of praise the angels sang

Author: James Montgomery, 1771 - 1854 Appears in 549 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When creation was begun, When God spake and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when he Captive led captivity. A-men. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away, Songs of praise shall crown that day; God will make new heavens and earth, Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 Saints below with heart and voice Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 5 Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise, Jesus, glory unto thee, With the Spirit, ever be. Amen. Used With Tune: MONKLAND

Thine wholly, thine alone I am; Be thou alone my constant flame. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but thy pure love alone; O may thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown; Strange fires far from my soul remove; May every act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but thee. 4 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless, to this high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there.

Forward! be our watch-word

Author: Henry Alford, 1810 - 71 Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind; Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Sion beams with light. 2 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight. 3 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers; Where our God abideth, That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river, Shedding joys untold: Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might; Pilgrims, to your country, Forward into light! 4 To the Father's glory Loudest anthems raise; To the Son and Spirit Echo songs of praise; To the Lord almighty, Blessèd Three in One, Be by men and angels Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises, Dull the songs of night; Forward into triumph Forward into light! Used With Tune: FORWARD (SMART)

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Appears in 849 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain: His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky And called on him to save; Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? A-men. 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Amen. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS NEW

Our Savior saw our helplessness And came with peace to cheer us. For this we thank and praise the Lord, Who is by one and all adored: To God all praise and glory! 4 All who confess Christ’s holy name, Give God the praise and glory. Let all who know his pow'r proclaim Aloud the wondrous story. Cast ev'ry idol from its throne, For God is God, and he alone: To God all praise and glory! Used With Tune: LOBT GOTT DEN HERREN, IHR
