Blood Has A Voice To Pierce The Skies

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blood has a voice to pierce the skies, "Revenge!" the blood of Abel cries; But the dear stream when Christ was slain Speaks peace as loud from every vein. 2 Pardon and peace from God on high; Behold, He lays His vengeance by, And rebels that deserved His sword Become the favorites of the Lord. 3 To Jesus let our praises rise Who gave His life a sacrifice; Now He appears before His God, And for our pardon pleads His blood.

Wohl Dem, Der In Gottesfurcht Steht

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wohl dem, der in Gottesfurcht steht, Und der auf seinem Wege geht; Dein eigen Hand dich nähren soll, So lebst du recht und geht dir wohl. 2 Dein Weib wird in dei’m Hause sein Wie ein’ Reben voll Trauben fein, Und dein’ Kinder um deinen Tisch Wie Ölpflanzen, gesund und frisch. 3 Sich so reich Segen hängt dem an, Wo in Gottes Furcht lebt ein Mann, Von ihm lässt der alt’ Fluch und Zorn, Den Menschenkindern angebor’n. 4 Aus Zion wird Gott segnen dich, Dass du wirst schauen stetiglich Das Glück der Stadt Jerusalem, Für Gott in Gnaden angenehm. 5 Fristen wird er das Leben dein Und mit Güte stets bei dir sein, Dass du sehen wirst Kindes Kind Und dass Israel Friede findt.

We praise, dear Lord, Thy Name divine, For Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb; No more we need to dread its gloom. 2 The tree where Thou wast offered up Now bears the fruit of life and hope: Thy precious blood for us is shed, Now we may feed on heav'nly bread. 3 We thank Thee, Jesus, that Thy hand Has freed us from sin's galling band; No more its thralldome we need fear; The year of liberty is here. 4 O Jesus Christ, God's Son elect, Our Paschal Lamb without defect, To us Thou givest strength indeed, In all our conflicts, all our need. 5 O grant, that as Thou didst arise, We, too, with joy, may heavenward rise, First from our sin, to love Thy way, Then from the grave on that great Day. 6 All praise to Thee who from death's might, From carnal lust and sin's dark plight Redeemest me, that even I May reach eternal life on high.

We Long for Mighty Signs of God

Author: Hermann I. Weinlick, 1937- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 We long for mighty signs of God— Cathedral, miracle, and sword, His power and glory written plain— So none may doubt that He is Lord. 2 But poor, in weakness, comes the Christ; His glory gone, no king we see; A servant Lord, no praise He seeks. Thus comes God’s power to such as we. 3 God’s work we cannot boldly trace, Yet even in us His Spirit flows. Our stumbling does not halt His course; Where we least think, He surely goes. 4 Not in our own strength, Lord, we move; Thy Kingdom falls not when we fall But forward presses day by day Until Thy truth is known by all.
