Behold the glories of the Lamb

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 278 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the glories of the Lamb amidst his Father’s throne; prepare new honours for his name, and songs before unknown. 2 Lo! elders worship at his feet; the church adores around, with vials full of odours rich, and harps of sweetest sound. 3 These odours are the pray’rs of saints, these sounds the hymns they raise; God bends his ear to their requests, he loves to hear their praise. 4 Who shall the Father’s record search, and hidden things reveal? Behold the Son that record takes, and opens ev’ry seal. 5 Hark how th’ adoring hosts above with songs surround the throne! ten thousand thousand are their tongues; but all their hearts are one. 6 Worthy the Lamb that dy'd, they cry, to be exalted thus; Worthy the Lamb, let us reply, for he was slain for us. 7 To him be pow’r divine ascrib'd, and endless blessings paid; salvation, glory, joy, remain for ever on his head! 8 Thou hast redeem'd us with thy blood, and set the pris’ners free; thou mad’st us kings and priests to God, and we shall reign with thee. 9 From ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tongue, thou brought’st thy chosen race; and distant lands and isles have shar'd the riches of thy grace. 10 Let all that dwell above the sky, or on the earth below, with fields, and floods, and ocean’s shores, to thee their homage show. 11 To Him who sits upon the throne, the God whom we adore, and to the Lamb that once was slain, be glory evermore.

With Songs and Honors Sounding Loud

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 282 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud address the Lord on high; over the heav'ns he spreads his cloud, and waters veil the sky. 2 He sends his show'rs of blessing down to cheer the plains below; he makes the grass the mountains crown, and corn in valleys grow. 3 His steady counsels change the face of the declining year; he bids the sun cut short his race, and wintry days appear. 4 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, descend and clothe the ground; the liquid streams forbear to flow, in icy fetters bound. 5 He sends his word and melts the snow; the fields no longer mourn; he calls the warmer gales to blow, and bids the spring return. 6 The changing wind, the flying cloud, obey his mighty word; with songs and honors sounding loud praise ye the sovereign Lord.

Witness, ye men and angels; now

Author: B. Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 232 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Witness, ye men and angels; now Before the Lord we speak; To Him we make our solemn vow, A vow we dare not break; 2 That long as life itself shall last, Ourselves to Christ we yield; Nor from His cause will we depart, Or ever quit the field. 3 We trust not in our native strength, But on His grace rely; That, with returning wants, the Lord Will all our needs supply. 4 Lord, guide our doubtful feet aright, And keep us in Thy ways; And, while we turn our vows to prayers, Turn Thou our prayers to praise. Amen. Topics: Confession of Christ; Confirmation Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Afflictions, Though They Seem Severe

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 176 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Afflictions, though they seem severe; In mercy oft are sent; They stopped the prodigal’s career, And forced him to repent. 2. Although he no relentings felt Till he had spent his store; His stubborn heart began to melt When famine pinched him sore. 3. “What have I gained by sin, he said, But hunger, shame, and fear; My father’s house abounds with bread, While I am starving here. 4. I’ll go, and tell him all I’ve done, And fall before his face Unworthy to be called his son, I’ll seek a servant’s place. 5. His father saw him coming back, He saw, and ran, and smiled; And threw his arms around the neck Of his rebellious child. 6. Father, I’ve sinned—but O forgive! I’ve heard enough, he said, “Rejoice my house, my son’s alive, For whom I mourned as dead. 7. Now let the fatted calf be slain, And spread the news around; My son was dead, but lives again, Was lost, but now is found. 8. ’Tis thus the Lord His love reveals, To call poor sinners home; More than a father’s love He feels, And welcomes all that come.

All praise to our redeeming Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All praise to our redeeming Lord, who joins us by his grace, and bids us, each to each restored, together seek his face. 2 He bids us build each other up; and, gathered into one, to our high calling’s glorious hope we hand in hand go on. 3 The gift which he on one bestows, we all delight to prove; the grace through every vessel flows, in purest streams of love. 4 Ev'n now we think and speak the same, and cordially agree; concentred all, through Jesus’ name, in perfect harmony. 5 We all partake the joy of one, the common peace we feel, a peace to sensual minds unknown, a joy unspeakable. 6 And if our fellowship below in Jesus be so sweet, what heights of rapture shall we know when round his throne we meet!
