Join all the glorious names
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 336 hymnals Matching Instances: 14 Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love, and power,
that mortals ever knew,
that angels ever bore:
all are too mean to speak his worth,
too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue would bless your name;
by you the joyful news
of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.
3 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.
4 My dear Almighty Lord,
my Conqueror and my King,
your sceptre and your sword,
your reigning grace, I sing:
yours is the power: behold I sit
in willing service at your feet.
5 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down:
my Captain leads me forth
to conquest and a crown:
a feeble saint shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Jesus Names and images for Scripture: 1 John 2:1 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

to God the Father’s love,
for all our comforts here,

whose new-creating power
makes the dead sinner live;
his work completes the great design
and wills the world with joy divine.

And the mysterious One:
where reason fails with all her powers,
there faith prevails, and love adores.

And with a well-tuned heart
Sing thou the songs of love;
Let all thy days
Till life shall end,
Whate'er he send,
Be filled with praise.

How sure the Scriptures are!
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are!
God's vital, urgent word,
as true as steel, and far
more sharp than any sword:
So deep and fine,
at his control
they pierce where soul
and spirit join.
2 They test each human thought,
refining like a fire;
they measure what we ought
to do and to desire:
For God know all —
exposed it lies
before his eyes
to whom we call.
3 Let those who hear his voice
confronting them today,
reject the tempting choice
of doubting or delay:
For God speaks still —
his word is clear,
so let us hear
and do his will! Topics: God, Spirit Word of Truth, the Scriptures; Advent 2 The Word of God in the Old Testament; Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables; Pentecost 22 The Two Ways Scripture: Hebrews 4:12-13 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

Great Father of mankind
Author: Doddridge Appears in 75 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Great Father of mankind,
We bless that wondrous grace
Which could for Gentiles find
Within Thy courts a place.
How kind the care
Our God displays,
For us to raise
A house of prayer!
2 Though once estrangéd far,
We now approach the throne;
For Jesus brings us near,
And makes our cause His own:
Strangers no more,
To Thee we come,
And find our home,
And rest secure.
3 To Thee our souls we join,
And love Thy sacred Name;
No more our own, but Thine,
We triumph in Thy claim.
Our Father-King,
Thy covenant grace
Our souls embrace,
Thy titles sing.
4 May all the nations throng
To worship in Thy house;
And Thou attend the song,
And smile upon their vows;
Indulgent still,
Till earth conspire
To join the choir
On Zion's hill. Topics: Epiphany; Lent, Second Sunday Used With Tune: CROFT'S 148TH PSALM

To adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesus' Name.

The joy of earth and heaven;
No other help is found,
No other name is given,
By which we can salvation have;
But Jesus came the world to save.
3 For me and all mankind
The Lamb of God was slain:
My Lord His life resigned
For every soul of man:
Loving to all, He none passed by,
He would not have one sinner die.
4 O unexampled Love!
O all-redeeming grace!
How swiftly didst Thou move
To save a fallen race!
What shall I do to make it known,
What Thou for all mankind hast done?

The Son of God, most high!'
For ever be adored
That name in earth and sky,
In which, though mortal strength may fail,
The saints of God at last prevail.
2 O surely he was blest
With blessedness unpriced,
Who, taught of God, confessed
The Godhead in the Christ;
For of thy Church, Lord, thou didst own
Thy saint a true foundation-stone.
3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored,
The bitter lesson learnt,
That heart for thee, O Lord,
With triple ardor burnt.
The cross he took he laid not down
Until he grasped the martyr's crown.

O courage void of fears,
O love most strong in death,
O penitential tears!
By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall,
And make us go where thou shalt call. Topics: St. Peter; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

Attend our humble cry,
And let thy servants share
Thy blessing from on high
We plead the promise of thy word,

Their children when they cry,
If they with love sincere
Their children's wants supply,
Much more wilt thou thy love display,
And answer when thy children pray.
3 Our heavenly Father, thou,
We, children of thy grace,
O let thy Spirit now
Descend and fill the place,
That all may feel the heavenly flame,
And all unite to praise thy name.
Amen.

From heaven the Lord confess

in heights his glory raise.
2 Him let all angels bless,
him all his armies praise.
3 Him glorify
Sun, moon, and stars;
4 ye higher spheres,
and cloudy sky.
5 Jehovah gave you birth,
him therefore glorious make;
to being ye came forth,
when he the word but spake.
6 And from that place,
where fixed you be
by his decree;
you cannot pass.
7 Praise him from earth below,
ye dragons, and ye deeps:
8 fire, hail, clouds, wind, and snow,
which in command he keeps.
9 Praise ye his name,
hills great and small,
trees low and tall,
10 beasts wild and tame.
All things that creep or fly,
11 kings, tribes of every tongue,
all princes mean or high,
12 both men and virgins young;
even young and old,
13 exalt his name;
for much his fame
should be extolled.
Jehovah's name be praised
above both earth and sky;
14 for he his saints hath raised,
and set their horn on high:
even those that be
of Israel's race,
near to his grace;
the Lord praise ye. Scripture: Psalm 148 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

with sparkling winter day!*
Your promise calls us here
to celebrate and pray,
through January's open door
to stride with hopeful step once more.
2 Come in, New Year, and sell
your wares of chance and change:
engage us with your spell
to risk and rearrange,
to feel the Spirit's impulse beat,
to follow down a different street.
3 For though December dies,
still Christmas keeps the light,
the hope in children's eyes,
the star that shatters night;
now Simeon and Anna see
the child who rules all time to be.
4 The calendar of Christ
will mark the seasons' turn;
his story claim our trust;
his love be ours to learn.
For all the world, for young and old,
we pray a year of peace unfold!
