Conquering kings their titles take

Author: J. Chandler Appears in 60 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Conquering kings their titles take From the foes they captive make: Jesus, by a nobler deed, From the thousands He hath freed. 2 Yes: no other Name is given Unto mortals under heaven, Which can make the dead arise, And exalt them to the skies. 3 We would gladly for that Name Bear the cross, endure the shame: Joyfully for Him to die, Is not death but victory. 4 Jesus, Who dost condescend To be called the sinner's Friend, Hear us, as to Thee we pray, Glorying in Thy Name to-day. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Circumcision; General; Name of Jesus Used With Tune: [Conquering kings their titles take] Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1736

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,131 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform: He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines, With never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Amen. Topics: Doubt; Providence Used With Tune: [God moves in a mysterious way]

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Rev. E. H. Sears Appears in 873 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; Peace on the earth, good-will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King; The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lonely plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessèd angels sing. 3 O ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow! Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: Oh, rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years, Shall come the time foretold, When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Used With Tune: [It came upon the midnight clear]

No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His Name. 5 Ashamed of Jesus! empty pride! I'll boast a Saviour crucified; And oh, may this my portion be, My Saviour not ashamed of me.

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Author: Rev. John Wesley; Paulus Gerhardt Appears in 347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Oh, knit my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there! Thine wholly, Thine alone, I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 Oh, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! Strange fires far from my soul remove; May every act, word, thought be love! 3 O love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies: Care, anguish, sorrow melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee. 4 Still let Thy love point out my way! How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 5 In suffering, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that important hour Of death, be Thou my guide and friend, That I may love Thee without end.
