Come, let us join our cheerful songs

Author: Isaac Watts , 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,002 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs with angels round the throne; ten thousand thousand are their tongues, but all their joys are one. 2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, "to be exalted thus"; "Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply, "for he was slain for us." 3 Jesus is worthy to receive honor and power divine; may blessings, more than we can give, be, Lord, for ever thine. 4 The whole creation joins in one to bless the sacred Name of him that sits upon the throne, and to adore the Lamb.

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 594 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours His own, Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad And praise surround the throne. 2 Today He rose and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell; Today the saints His triumphs spread And all His wonders tell. 3 Hosanna to th'anointed King, To David's holy Son! Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from the throne. 4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men With messages of grace, Who comes in God His Father's Name To save our sinful race. 5 Hosanna in the highest strains The Church on earth can raise; The highest heav'ns in which He reigns Shall give Him nobler praise.

Old Age, With All Its Sickly Train

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Old age, with all its sickly train, Soon makes its dread approach; Languor, debility and pain, Insensibly encroach. 2 Life’s gaieties have charms no more, Its pleasures but appall: The busy scenes and toils are o’er, The honey turned to gall. 3 The lucid orbs of vision fail, And give a glimmering light; Successive clouds of grief prevail, Transforming day to night. 4 Associates and friends once dear, On earth are known no more; Minds uncongenial now appear, A race unknown before. 5 How dark the scene, how full of woe, Alas for hoary age; Yet grace will still a balm bestow, Their sorrows to assuage. 6 There is a friend who still abides, More dear than all that’s lost: And he who in this friend confides, May yet of comforts boast. 7 ’Tis Jesus, who will ne’er forsake, But make His friends His care; To Him your griefs and sorrows take, And He your griefs will share. 8 Soon will He bring your weary feet To His eternal rest; Then shall your joys be all complete, When in His mansion blessed.

The Promised Land

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 305 hymnals First Line: Far from these narrow scenes of night Lyrics: 1 Far from these narrow scenes of night Unbounded glories rise, And realms of infinite delight Unknown to mortal eyes. 2 Far distant land—could mortal eyes But half its joys explore, How would our spirits long to rise, And dwell on earth no more! 3 There pain and sickness never come, And grief no more complains! Health triumphs in immortal bloom, And endless pleasure reigns! 4 From discord free and war’s alarms, And want and pining care, Plenty and peace unite their charms, And smile unchanging there. 5 There rich varieties of joy, Continual feast the mind; Pleasures which fill, but never cloy, Immortal and refined! 6 No factious strife, no envy there, The sons of peace molest, But harmony and love sincere, Fill every happy breast. 7 No cloud those blissful regions know, For ever bright and fair! For sin, the source of mortal woe, Can never enter there. 8 There no alternate night is known, Nor sun’s faint sickly ray; But glory from the sacred throne Spreads everlasting day. 9 That glorious Monarch there displays His beams of wondrous grace; His happy subjects sing His praise, And bow before His face. 10 O may the heavenly prospect fire Our hearts with ardent love, Till wings of faith and strong desire Bear every thought above. 11 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine, For Thy bright courts on high; Then bid our spirits rise and join The chorus of the sky.
