Join All the Glorious Names
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 336 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love, and power,
that ever mortals knew
or angels ever bore;
all are too weak to speak his worth,
too weak to set my Savior forth.
2 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue would bless thy name;
by thee the joyful news
of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiv'n,
of hell subdued, and peace with heav'n.
3 Be thou my Counselor,
my Pattern and my Guide,
and through this desert land
still keep me by thy side;
O let my feet ne'er run astray,
nor rove, nor seek the crooked way.
4 Jesus, my great High Priest,
offered his blood, and died:
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside;
his powerful blood did once atone,
and now it pleads before the throne.
5 My dear almighty Lord,
my Conqu'ror and my King,
thy scepter and thy sword,
thy reigning grace I sing.
Thine is the pow'r;
behold, I sit in willing bonds
before thy feet.
Scripture: Matthew 6:13 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

Arise, my soul, arise
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 885 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise,
Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding Sacrifice
In my behalf appears;
Before the throne my Surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.
2 He ever lives above
For me to intercede;
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead;
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3 Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers,
They strongly speak for me;
Forgive him, O forgive, they cry,
Nor let that ransomed sinner die!
4 The Father hears Him pray,
His dear Anointed One;
He cannot turn away
The presence of His Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.
5 My God is reconciled,
His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child,
I can no longer fear;
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And Father, Abba Father! cry. Topics: Adoption; Christ Intercession of Used With Tune: HANDEL'S 148TH PSALM

Upward I Lift Mine Eyes
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 242 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upward I lift mine eyes,
From God is all my aid;
The God that built the skies,
And earth and nature made;
God is the tower to which I fly;
His grace is nigh in every hour.
2 My feet shall never slide
And fall in fatal snares,
Since God, my guard and guide,
Defends me from my fears.
Those wakeful eyes that never sleep
Shall Israel keep when dangers rise.
3 No burning heats by day,
Nor blasts of evening air,
Shall take my health away,
If God be with me there.
Thou art my sun, and Thou my shade,
To guard my head by night or noon.
4 Hast Thou not giv’n Thy word
To save my soul from death?
And I can trust my Lord
To keep my mortal breath.
I’ll go and come, nor fear to die,
Till from on high Thou call me home. Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, ca. 1625-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 127 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
O who am I, that for my sake
my Lord should take frail flesh and die?
2 He came from his blest throne,
salvation to bestow;
but men cared not, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed,
who at my need his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing;
resounding all the day
hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!” is all their breath,
and for his death they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries! Yet all his deeds
their hatred feeds; they 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord sent away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet willing he to suff'ring goes,
that he his foes from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say? Heav'n was his home,
but mine the tomb wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine;
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine.
This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend.

You Holy Angels Bright
Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 You holy angels bright,
who wait at God's right hand,
or through the realms of light
fly at your Lord's command,
assist our song, for else the theme
too high doth seem for mortal tongue.
2 You blessed souls at rest,
who ran this earthly race,
and now, from sin released,
behold the Savior's face;
God’s praises sound, as in his sight
with sweet delight you do abound.
3 All nations of the earth,
extol the world's great King;
with melody and mirth
his glorious praises sing;
for he still reigns, and will bring low
the proudest foe that him disdains.
4 Sing forth Jehovah’s praise,
you saints, that on him call!
Him magnify always,
his holy churches all!
In him rejoice, and there proclaim
his holy name with sounding voice.
5 My soul, bear now your part,
triumph in God above;
with a well-tuned heart
sing now the songs of love;
you are his own, whose precious blood
shed for your good his love made known.
6 Away, distrustful care!
I have your promise, Lord;
to banish all despair,
I have your oath and word;
and therefore I shall see your face
and there your grace shall magnify.
7 With your triumphant flock
then I shall numbered be;
built on th’eternal Rock,
his glory we shall see.
The heav’ns so high with praise shall ring
and all shall sing in harmony.

What hast thou borne for Me?

How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thine earthly temples, are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.

Where God appoints to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still; and happy they
That love the way to Zion's hill.

Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat, when God, our King,
Shall thither bring our willing feet!

Our Light and our Defense;
With gifts His hands are filled:
We draw our blessings thence.
Thrice happy he, O God of Hosts,
Whose spirit trusts alone in Thee!

from strength to strength march on;
warfare shall end at length,
all foes be overthrown.
And then, my soul, if faithful now,
the crown of life awaits your brow.

When in His Might the Lord
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When in his might the Lord arose to set us free,
and Zion was restored from her captivity,
in transports then of joy and mirth
we praised the Lord of all the earth.
2 The nations saw with fear the might of God displayed,
when he at last drew near to give his people aid;
great things for us the Lord has wrought,
and gladness to our hearts has brought.
3 Again refresh us, Lord, with thy reviving love,
and be thy blessing poured in mercy from above;
by grace revive our hearts again,
as streams refreshed by copious rain.
4 Although with bitter tears the sower bears his seed,
when harvest time appears he shall be glad indeed;
for they that in the sowing weep
shall yet in joy and gladness reap.
