Come, let us join our cheerful songs

Author: Isaac Watts , 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,000 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs with angels round the throne; ten thousand thousand are their tongues, but all their joys are one. 2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, "to be exalted thus"; "Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply, "for he was slain for us." 3 Jesus is worthy to receive honor and power divine; may blessings, more than we can give, be, Lord, for ever thine. 4 The whole creation joins in one to bless the sacred Name of him that sits upon the throne, and to adore the Lamb.

Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from the throne. 4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men 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 heav'ns in which He reigns Shall give Him nobler praise.

My Trust Is in My Heavenly Friend

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My trust is in my heavenly friend, My hope in Thee, my God; Rise and my helpless life defend From those that seek my blood. 2. With insolence and fury they My soul in pieces tear, As hungry lions rend the prey When no deliverer’s near. 3. If I had e’er provoked them first, Or once abused my foe, Then let him tread my life to dust, And lay mine honor low. 4. If there be malice found in me, I know Thy piercing eyes; I should not dare appeal to Thee, Nor ask my God to rise. 5. Arise, my God, lift up Thy hand, Their pride and power control; Awake to judgment and command Deliverance for my soul. 6. Let sinners and their wicked rage Be humbled to the dust; Shall not the God of truth engage To vindicate the just? 7. He knows the heart, He tries the reins, He will defend th’upright: His sharpest arrows He ordains Against the sons of spite. 8. For me their malice digged a pit, But there themselves are cast; My God makes all their mischief light On their own heads at last. 9. That cruel persecuting race Must feel His dreadful sword; Awake, my soul, and praise the grace And justice of the Lord. Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
