We Sing the Mighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 471 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.

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem

Author: Louis FitzGerald Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 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 flowers of Nazareth In every 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 hill, Of Him who walked upon the sea And bade the waves be still: For though, 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 heaven adored, Is mighty now to save.

When Jesus left his Father's throne

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left his Father's throne, he chose an 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. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

To Mock Your Reign, O Dearest Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord, they made a crown of thorns; set you with taunts along that road from which no one returns. They could not know, as we do now, how glorious is that crown; that thorns would flower upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own. 2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord, they snatched a purple cloak; your passion turned, for all they cared, into a soldier's joke. They could not know, as we do now, that though we merit blame, you will your robe of mercy throw around our naked shame. 3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord, they thrust into your hand, and acted out their grim charade to its appointed end. They could not know, as we do now, though empires rise and fall, your kingdom shall not cease to grow till love embraces all.

For Zion's Sake I Will Not Rest

Author: John Quarles, 1624-1665 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For Zion’s sake I will not rest I will not hold my peace Until Jerusalem be blest And Judah dwell at ease; 2 Until her righteousness return As daybreak after night— The lamp of her salvation burn With everlasting light. 3 The Gentiles shall her glory see, And kings declare her fame; Appointed unto her shall be A new and holy name. 4 The watchmen on her walls appear, And day and night proclaim, "Zion’s deliverer is near;" Make mention of His name. 5 The Lord upholds her with His hand, And claims her for His own— The diadem of Judah’s land The glory of His crown. 6 Go through, go through, prepare the way, The gates wide open fling; With loudest voice let heralds say, "Behold thy coming king!"
