Hail, thou once despisèd Jesus!

Author: John Bakewell, 1721-1819; Martin Madan, 1726-1790 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 625 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail, thou once despisèd Jesus! Hail, thou Galilean King! Thou didst suffer to release us; thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, thou universal Saviour, bearer of our sin and shame! By thy merit we find favour; life is given through thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on thee were laid; by almighty love anointed, thou hast full atonement made. All thy people are forgiven through the virtue of thy blood: opened is the gate of heaven, reconciled are we with God. 3 Jesus, hail! Enthroned in glory, there for ever to abide; all the heavenly hosts adore thee, seated at thy Father's side. There for sinners thou art pleading; there thou dost our place prepare; ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. *4 Worship, honour, power, and blessing thou art worthy to receive; highest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, all your noblest anthems raise; help to sing our Saviour's merits, help to chant Emmanuel's praise! Topics: General Hymns God the Son Used With Tune: REX GLORIAE

Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: Sabine-Baring Gould; B. S. Ingemann Appears in 317 hymnals First Line: Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Lyrics: 1 Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, thro' the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless thro' the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Bright'ning all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain the lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by his prophets, Spoken his unchanging Word; Each from age to age proclaiming God, the one, the righteous Lord. In the world's despair and turmoil, One firm anchor holds us fast: God is king, his throne eternal; God the first, and God the last. 2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus, Christ, the everlasting Son, Brightness of the Father's glory, With the Father ever one; Spoken by the Word Incarnate, God of God, before time was; Light of light, to earth descending He reveals our God to us. 3 God is speaking by his Spirit, Speaking to the hearts of all, In the ageless Word expounding God's own message for us all. Through the rise and fall of nations One sure faith is standing fast; God abides, his Word unchanging; God the first, and God the last.
