The morning light is breaking

Author: Bernard of Morlaix; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 922 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest: I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many angel, And all the martyr throng: The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked with glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy part: His only, His forever, Thou shalt be and thou art! Jesus, in mercy bring us Soon to that land of rest: Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest! 5 Jerusalem the golden, Shall I e'er see thy face? O sweet and pleasant city, Shall I e'er win thy grace? I have the hope within me To comfort and to bless; Shall I e'er win the glory? O my Redeemer, yes! Amen.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 853 hymnals 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, are precious in his sight. 3. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and 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. To 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. The United Methodist Hymnal Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs

O Jesus, King of Glory!

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Martin Behm Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King of glory! Both David's God and Son, Thy realm endures forever, In heav'n is fixed Thy throne: Help that in earth's dominions, Throughout, from pole to pole, Thy realm may spread salvation To each benighted soul. 2 The Eastern sages, bringing Their tribute-gifts to Thee, Bear witness to Thy kingdom And humbly bow the knee. The Eastern star proclaims Thee, As doth the inspired Word; Hence joyously we hail Thee: Our blest Redeemer, Lord! 3 Thou art a mighty Monarch, As by the Word we're told, Yet carest Thou but little For earthly goods or gold; On no proud steed Thou ridest, Thou wear'st no jeweled crown, Nor dwell'st in lordly castle, But bearest scoff and frown. 4 Yet art Thou decked with beauty, With rays of glorious light; Thou ever teem'st with goodness, And all Thy ways are right. Vouchsafe to shield Thy people With Thine almighty arm, That they may dwell in safety From those who mean but harm. 5 Ah, look on me with pity, Though I am weak and poor; Admit me to Thy kingdom, To dwell there, blest and sure. Vouchsafe to keep and guide me Secure from all my foes, From sin, and death and Satan; Free me from all my woes. 6 And bid Thy Word within me Shine as the fairest star; Keep sin and all false doctrine From all Thy people far; Help us confess Thee truly, And with Thy Christendom Here own Thee King and Savior And in the world to come.

Author: George Duffield, Jr. 1818-1888 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,835 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross! Lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss. From victory unto victory his army he shall lead, till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The solemn watchword hear; if while ye sleep he suffers, away with shame and fear. Where'er ye meet with evil, within you or without, charge for the God of battles, and put the foe to rout. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey; forth to the mighty conflict in this his glorious day. Ye that are men now serve him against unnumbered foes; let courage rise with danger and strength to strength oppose. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! Stand in his strength alone; the arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armour, each piece put on with prayer; when duty calls or danger be never wanting there. 5 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; this day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song. To him that overcometh a crown of life shall be; he with the King of Glory shall reign eternally.

My food Thou dost appoint me, Supplied before my foes; With oil Thou dost anoint me, My cup of bliss o’erflows. Thy goodness, Lord, shall guide me, Thy mercy cheer my way; A home Thou wilt provide me Within Thy house always.
