Hallelujah! Raise, O Raise
Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah! Raise, O raise
to our God the song of praise;
all his servants join to sing
God our Savior and our King.
2 Blessed be forevermore
that dread name which we adore:
round the world his praise be sung
through all lands, in ev'ry tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,
higher than the heav'ns his throne;
who is like to God Most High,
infinite in majesty!
4 Yet to view the heav'ns he bends;
yea, to earth he condescends;
passing by the rich and great,
for the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
with the princes of the land;
wealth upon the needy show'r:
set him with the high in pow'r.
6 He the broken spirit cheers:
turns to joy the mourner's tears;
such the wonders of his ways;
praise his name, forever praise!

Darkness is for ever past,
And the joyful day begun.

Joyful theme, Emanuel’s birth.

Giving light to all around;
Shining clear and seen afar,
Seen to earth’s remotest bound.

He a king, a king by birth;
Though the mark of human scorn;
Heir of all in Heav’n and earth.

See, the day is come at last:
Jacob’s promised star appears,
Darkness is for ever past. Used With Tune: ALCESTER Text Sources: Hymns Not Before Published (Dublin: Thomas Johnston, 1815)

Born to Bless Us, Born to Save!
Author: Thomas Davis Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Born to bless us, born to save!
Praise His name with joyful breath!
Sing through life, nor fear the grave!
Jesus lives to conquer death!
2 Every birth is changed from hence;
Each may take a pathway bright;
Reaching soon the tomb, but thence
Issuing in unfading light.
3 Humblest cradles now shall show,
Clearly show to loving eyes,
Oft while tears of rapture flow,
Flowerets born for Paradise.
4 Parents now shall sink to rest,
Hoping soon to clasp in Heaven,
Lovely as a seraph blest,
Every child whom God hath given.
5 Parents, children, young and old,
If but strong in faith and love,
Shall, with gratitude untold,
Oft foretaste the joys above.

Winged with faith, and pierce the skies;

Gracious answers from the throne.

To each soul assembled here;
Clothe Thy Word with power divine,
Make us willing to be Thine.
3 Shepherd of Thy blood bought sheep!
Teach the stony heart to weep;
Let the blind have eyes to see,
See themselves, and look on Thee!
4 Let the minds of all our youth
Feel the force of sacred truth;
While the Gospel call they hear
May they learn to love and fear!
5 Show them what their ways have been,
Show them the desert of sin;
Then Thy dying love reveal,
This shall melt a heart of steel.
6 Where thou hast Thy work begun,
Give new strength the race to run;
Scatter darkness, doubts and fears,
Wipe away the mourners’ tears.
7 Bless us all, both old and young;
Call forth praise from every tongue;
Let the whole assembly prove
All Thy power, and all Thy love! Used With Tune: ALCESTER Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779)
