Why should the children of a King

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #343 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ascension of Christ; Christ His ascension; Spirit given at Christ's ascension Lyrics: Why should the children of a King Go mourning all their days? Great Comforter! descend and bring Some tokens of thy grace. Dost thou not dwell in all the saints, And seal the heirs of heav'n? When wilt thou banish my complaints, And show my sins forgiv'n? Assure my conscience of her part In the Redeemer's blood And bear thy witness with my heart, That I am born of God. Thou art the earnest of his love, The pledge of joys to come; And thy soft wings, celestial Dove, Will safe convey me home. Scripture: Romans 8:14 Languages: English

We live in Him

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: Laudes Domini #178 (1890) Topics: Christ Ascension of; Christ Ascension of First Line: See the Conqueror mounts in triumph! Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph! See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, his chariot, To his heavenly palace gate! Hark! the choirs of angel voices Joyful hallelujahs sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He has gained the victory; He, who on the cross did suffer, He, who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan, He by death has spoiled his foes. 3 Thou hast raised our human nature, On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heavenly places, There with thee in glory stand; Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord! in thine ascension, We by faith behold our own. 4 Lift us up from earth to heaven, Give us wings of faith and love, Gales of holy aspirations, Wafting us to realms above; That, with hearts and minds uplifted, We with Christ our Lord may dwell, Where he sits enthroned in glory, In the heavenly citadel. 5 So at last, when he appeareth, We from out our graves may spring, With our youth renewed like eagles', Flocking round our heavenly King, Caught up on the clouds of heaven, And may meet him in the air Rise to realms where he is reigning, And may reign for ever there.

With joy we meditate the grace

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Together in Song #206 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ascension; Jesus Christ Ascension Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace of our High Priest above; his heart is made of tenderness, and ever yearns with love. 2 Touched with a sympathy within, he knows our feeble frame; he knows what sore temptations mean, for he has felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent, and pure the great Redeemer stood, while Satan's fiery darts he bore, and did resist to blood. 4 He, in the days of feeble flesh poured out his cries and tears; and in his measure feels afresh what every member bears. 5 He'll never quench the smoking flax, but raise it to a flame; the bruisèd reed he never breaks, nor scorns the meanest name. 6 Then let our humble faith address his mercy and his power: we shall obtain delivering grace in each distressing hour.

We sing the glories of thy love

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #503 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ascension of Christ; Christ His ascension Lyrics: We sing the glories of thy love, We sound thy dreadful name; The Christian church unites the songs Of Moses and the Lamb. Great God! how wondrous are thy works Of vengeance and of grace! Thou King of saints, Almighty Lord, How just and true thy ways! Who dares refuse to fear thy name, Or worship at thy throne? Thy judgments speak thine holiness Through all the nations known. Great Babylon that rules the earth, Drunk with the martyrs' blood, Her crimes shall speedily awake The fury of our God. The cup of wrath is ready mixed, And she must drink the dregs: Strong is the Lord, her sovereign Judge, And shall fulfil the plagues. Scripture: Revelation 15:3 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P68c (1766) Topics: Ascension of Christ; Spirit given at Christ's ascension Lyrics: 1 We bless the Lord, the Just, the Good, Who fills our Hearts with Joy and Food, Who pours his Blessings from the Skies, And loads our Days with rich Supplies. 2 He sends the Sun his Circuit round, To chear the Fruits, to warm the Ground; He bids the Clouds with plent'ous Rain Refresh the thirsty Earth again. 3 'Tis to his Care we owe our Breath, And all our near Escapes from Death; Safety and Health to GOD belong; He heals the Weak, and guards the Strong. 4 He makes the Saint and Sinner prove The common Blessings of his Love; But the wide Diff'rence that remains, Is endless Joy, or endless Pains. 5 The Lord that bruis'd the Serpent's Head, On all the Serpent's Seed shall tread, The stubborn Sinner's Hope confound, And smite him with a lasting Wound. 6 But his Right-Hand his Saints shall raise From the deep Earth, or deeper Seas, And bring them to his Courts above; There shall they taste his special Love.
