What strange perplexities arise

Author: Samuel Davies Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What strange perplexities arise, What anxious fears and jealousies! What crowds in doubtful light appear, How few, alas, approved and clear! 2 And what am I?--my soul, awake, And an impartial survey take. Does no dark sign, no ground of fear, In practice or in heart appear? 3 What image does my spirit bear? Is Jesus formed and living there? Ah, do His lineaments divine In thought, and word, and action shine? 4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still; The secrets of my soul reveal; My fears remove; let me appear To God and my own conscience clear!

With One Consent, Let All the Earth

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 181 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With one consent, let all the earth To God their cheerful voices raise; Glad homage pay with awful mirth, And sing before Him songs of praise. 2. Convinced that He is God alone, From Whom both we and all proceed; We, whom He chooses for His own, The flock that He vouchsafes to feed. 3. O enter, then, His temple gate, Thence to His courts devoutly press, And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still His name with praises bless. 4. For He’s the Lord, supremely good; His mercy is forever sure; His truth, which always firmly stood, To endless ages shall endure.

Charles Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A hymn of glory let us sing; New hymns throughout the world shall ring; By a new way none ever trod, Christ mounteth to the throne of God. 2 May our affections thither tend, And thither constantly ascend, Where, seated on the Father's throne, Thee, reigning in the heav'ns, we own! 3 Be Thou our present joy, O Lord! Who wilt be ever our reward: And as the countless ages flee, May all our glory be in Thee! Topics: The Church Year Ascension; Ascension Day Used With Tune: BOWEN

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,821 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head; His Name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His Love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Where He displays His healing power, Death and the curse are known no more; In Him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost. 6 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.
