Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,801 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Manifestation to the Gentiles Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does His successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 To Him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown His head; His Name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoner leaps to burst his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honours to our King: Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen. Amen. Used With Tune: WARRINGTON

Once in Royal David's City

Author: C. F. Alexander1818-95 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 408 hymnals Topics: Jesus, Savior of Gentiles Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor and mean and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern; Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless; Tears and smiles like us He knew, And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child, so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above; And he leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable With the oxen standing by We shall see Him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; Where, like stars, His children crowned, All in white shall wait around.

To Thee where angels know no night The song of praise forever rings. To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won, Glory and praise! Amen, Amen. 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly, in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord, Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Reechoed now, "Good will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, mid hate and scorn-- These all are past, and now above He reigns, our King, once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates! So sang His hosts, unheard by men, Lift up your heads, for you He waits. We lift them up. Amen, Amen. 4 Nations afar, in ign'rance deep, Isles of the sea, where darkness lay, These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men! Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free!" Amen, Amen. 5 Sing to the Lord a glorious song; Sing to His name, His love forthtell! Sing on, heav'n's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell! Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain! From angels praise and thanks from men! Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and pow'r! Amen, Amen. Used With Tune: CREATION

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Appears in 911 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Manifestation to the Gentiles Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid: Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield Him in costly devotion, Odours of Edom, and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favour secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid: Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen. Used With Tune: WEBER
