We Sing the Mighty Power of God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 476 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the mighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad
and built the lofty skies.
We sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at his command,
and all the stars obey.
2 We sing the goodness of the Lord
that filled the earth with food;
he formed the creatures with his word
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed,
where'er we turn our eyes,
if we survey the ground we tread
or gaze upon the skies.
3 There's not a plant or flower below
but makes your glories known,
and clouds arise and tempests blow
by order from your throne;
while all that borrows life from you
is ever in your care,
and everywhere that we can be,
you, God, are present there.

I heard the voice of Jesus say
I Sojourn In A Vale Of Tears
Author: John Mason Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: I sojourn in a vale of tears Lyrics:
1 I sojourn in a vale of tears,
Alas, how can I sing?
My harp doth on the willows hang,
Distuned in every string.
My music is a captive’s chain,
Harsh sounds my ears do fill;
How shall I sing sweet Sion’s song
On this side Sion’s hill?
2 Yet lo! I hear a joyful sound,
"Surely I quickly come";
Each word much sweetness doth distill
Like swelling honeycomb.
And dost Thou come, my dearest Lord?
And dost Thou surely come?
And dost Thou surely, quickly come?
Methinks I am at home.
3 Come then, my dearest, dearest Lord,
My sweetest, truest friend;
Come, for I loathe these Kedar tents,
Thy fiery chariots send.
What have I here? My thoughts and joys
Are all packed up and gone;
My eager soul would follow them
To Thine eternal throne.
4 What have I in this barren land?
My Jesus is not here;
Mine eyes will ne’er be blest until
My Jesus doth appear.
My Jesus is gone up to Heav’n,
To make a place for me;
For ’tis His will that where He is
There should His servants be.
5 I Canaan view from Pisgah’s top,
Of Canaan’s grapes I taste;
My Lord, who sends unto me here,
Will send for me at last.
I have a God who changeth not,
Why should I be perplexed?
The God who owns me in this world,
Will own me in the next.
6 Go fearless then, my soul, with God
Into another room;
Thou who hast walkèd with Him here
Go see thy God at home.
View death with a believing eye,
It hath an angel’s face;
And this kind angel will escort
Thee to an angel’s place.
7 The grave is but a crucible
Unto believing eyes;
For there the flesh shall lose its dross,
And like the sun shall rise.
The world, which I have known too well
Hath mocked me with its lies;
How gladly would I leave behind
Its vexing vanities!
8 My dearest friends now dwell above,
Them will I go to see;
And all my friends in Christ below
Will soon come after me.
Fear not the trump’s earth-rending sound;
Dread not the Day of Doom,
For He that is to be thy judge,
Thy Savior is become.
9 Blest be my God that gives me light,
Who in the dark did grope;
Blest be my God, the God of love,
Who causeth me to hope.
Here is Word’s signet, comfort’s staff,
And here is grace’s chain;
By these Thy pledges, Lord, I know
My hopes are not in vain.

I Sojourn In A Vale Of Tears
When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left his Father's throne,
He chose a humble birth;
Like us, unhonored and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
Like him may we be found below,
In wisdom's paths of peace;
Like him in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
2 Sweet were his words and kind his look,
When mothers round him pressed;
Their infants in his arms he took,
And on his bosom blessed.
Safe from the world's alluring harms,
Beneath his watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of his arms
May we for ever lie.
3 When Jesus into Zion rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they plucked the palms and strowed
Their garments on the ground.
Hosanna our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Savior's praise,
The stones themselves would sing. Topics: Jesus Christ; Palm/Passion Sunday Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
Psalm 16
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: O God, preserve me, for in you Lyrics: 1. O God, preserve me, for in you
Alone my trust has stood;
My soul has said, you are my Lord.
My chief and only good.
I love your saints, who fear your Name
And walk as in your sight;
They are the excellent of Earth,
In them is my delight.
2. The Lord is my inheritance,
The Lord alone remains
The fulness of my cup of bliss;
The Lord my lot maintains.
The lines are fallen unto me
In places large and fair;
A goodly heritage is mine,
Marked out with gracious care.
3. When in the night I meditate
On mercies multiplied,
My grateful heart inspires my tongue
To bless the Lord, my Guide.
Forever in my tho't, the Lord
Before my face shall stand;
Secure, unmoved, I shall remain,
With him at my right hand.
4. I know that I shall not be cast out,
Forgotten in the grave,
And from corruption, O my Lord,
Your holy one will save.
The path of life you've shown to me
Of joy, a boundless store
Is ever found at your right hand,
And pleasures evermore. Topics: Resurrection Scripture: Psalm 16 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD Text Sources: The New Metrical Version of the Psalms, 1909, alt.

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O sing a song of Bethlehem,
Of shepherds watching there,
And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air.
The light that shone on Bethlehem
Fills all the world today;
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
The angels sing alway.
2. O sing a song of Nazareth,
Of sunny days of joy,
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
And of the sinless Boy;
For now the flow'rs of Nazareth
In ev'ry heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of His dear name
On all the winds that blow.
3. O sing a song of Galilee,
Of lake and woods and hil,
Of Him who walked upon the sea
And bade its waves be still;
For tho' like waves on Galilee,
Dark seas of trouble roll,
When faith has heard the Master's word,
Falls peace upon the soul.
4. O sing a song of Calvary,
Its glory and dismay;
Of Him who hung upon the tree
And took our sins away.
For He who died on Calvary
Is risen from the grave,
And Christ, our Lord, by heav'n adored,
Is mighty now to save. Scripture: Luke 2:11 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

The Good Fight
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Encamped along the hills of light Lyrics: 1 Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies.
Salvation's helmet on each head,
With truth all girt about,
The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread
And echo with our shout.
2 Our Lord sees every Christian die,
And feels each dying breath,
And calls out from a field nearby,
"Be faithful unto death."
Our brethren, dead beneath the plain,
Whose spirits never died,
Rise up to march and shout again,
"O Christ, be glorified!"
3 Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed thru bloody seas?
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD-COUNTY DOWN
