Hark, Ten Thousand Harps and Voices

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 675 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, ten thousand harps and voices Sound the note of praise above! Jesus reigns, and heav'n rejoices; Jesus reigns, the God of love. See, He sits on yonder throne; Jesus rules the world alone. 2 Jesus, hail, whose glory brightens All above, and makes it fair: Lord of life, Thy smile enlightens, Cheers and charms Thy people here. When we think of love like Thine, Lord, we own it love divine. 3 King of glory, reign forever; Thine an everlasting crown; Nothing from Thy love shall sever Those whom Thou hast made Thine own, Happy objects of Thy grace, Destined to behold Thy face. 4 Saviour, hasten Thine appearing; Bring, O bring the glorious day, When, the awful summons hearing, Heaven and earth shall pass away. Then, with golden harps, we'll sing, "Glory, glory, to our King." Amen.

This Child shall be your Friend; The Father so hath willed it, That thus your woes should end. The Son is freely given, That in Him ye may have The Father's grace and blessing, And know He loves to save. 3 Nor deem the form too lowly That clothes Him at this hour; For know ye what it hideth?

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 423 hymnals First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus" There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word That should set Thy children free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at my side for thee." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest to call for me. Amen.

And bid the captive lose his griefs in sleeping: Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them; Do Thou befriend them. 5 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us, Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us; But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely Who seek Thee only. 6 Father, Thy Name be praised, Thy kingdom given, Thy will be done on earth as ’tis in heaven, Give daily bread, forgive our sins, deliver Us now and ever.
