Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to Heaven

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 222 hymnals Topics: Powers of Darkness First Line: Alleluia, alleluia! Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise. Sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise. He who on the cross a victim for the world’s salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead. 2 Alleluia, Christ is risen! Death at last has met defeat. See the ancient powers of evil in confusion and retreat. Once he died and once was buried; now he lives forevermore— Jesus Christ, the world’s Redeemer, whom we worship and adore. 3 Christ is risen, Christ the first fruits of the holy harvest yield, which will all its full abundance at his second coming yield. Then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before him wave, ripened by his glorious sunshine from the furrows of the grave. 4 Alleluia, alleluia! Glory be to God on high; alleluia! to the Savior, who has won the victory; alleluia! to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity; alleluia, alleluia! to the triune Majesty. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Used With Tune: EBENEZER

Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Powers of Darkness First Line: At the name of Jesus Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now; 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight: all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heavenly orders in their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners, unto whom he came; faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious when from death he passed; 4 bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast; filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true. Look to him, your Savior, in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory, o'er the earth to reign; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now. Scripture: Psalm 33:6-9 Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON

This is my Father’s world; he shines in all that’s fair. In the rustling grass I hear him pass; he speaks to me everywhere. 3 This is my Father’s world; oh, let me not forget that, though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father’s world; why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King, let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad. Scripture: Genesis 1:28 Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA

Complaint of heavy Afflictions in Mind an dBody

Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Hope in darkness First Line: My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD Lyrics: 1 My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD, Hear when I spread my Hands abroad, And cry for Succour from thy Throne, O make thy truth and Mercy known! 2 Let Judgment not against me pass; Behold thy Servant pleads thy Grace: Should Justice call us to thy Bar, No Man alive is guiltless there. 3 Look down in Pity, Lord, and see The mighty Woes that burthen me; Down to the Dust my Life is brought, Like one long bury'd and forgot. 4 I dwell in Darkness and unseen; My Heart is desolate within; My Thoughts in musing Silence trace The ancient Wonders of thy grace. 5 Thence I derive a Glimpse of Hope To bear my sinking Spirits up; I stretch my Hands to GOD again, And thirst like parched Lands for Rain. 6 For Thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn: When will thy smiling Face return? Shall all my Joys on Earth remove? And GOD, for ever hide his Love? 7 My GOD, thy long Delay to save Will sink thy Pris'ner to the Grave; My Heart grows faint, and dim mine Eye; Make haste to help before I die. 8 The Night is Witness to my Tears, Distressing Pains, distressing Fears; O might I hear thy Morning Voice, How would my weary'd Pow'rs rejoice! 9 In Thee I trust, to Thee I sigh, And lift my heavy Soul on high; For Thee sit waiting all the Day, And wear the tiresome Hours away. 10 Break off my Fetters, Lord, and show Which is the Path my Feet should go; If Snares and Foes beset the Road, I flee to hide me near my GOD. 11 Teach me to do thy holy Will, And lead me to thy heav'nly Hill; Let the good Spirit of thy Love Conduct me to thy Courts above. 12 Then shall my Soul no more complain, The Tempter then shall rage in vain; And Flesh, that was my Foe before, Shall never vex my Spirit more. Scripture: Psalm 143
