Jehovah reigns let all the earth

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jehovah reigns, let all the earth In His just government rejoice; Let all the lands with sacred mirth, In His applause unite their voice. 2 Darkness and clouds of awful shade His dazzling glory shroud in state; Judgment and righteousness are made The habitation of His seat. 3 For thou, O god, art seated high, Above earth's potentates enthroned; Thou, Lord unrivalled in the sky, Supreme by all the gods art owned.

Jerusalem, my happy home

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 849 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me, When shall my labours have an end, In joy and peace, with thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know; Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I come to thee? When shall my labours have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 7 Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labours have an end, When I thy joys shall see.

Jesus! Name of wondrous love!

Appears in 167 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Name all other names above! Unto which must every knee Bow in deep humility. 2 Jesus! Name decreed of old: To the maiden mother told, Kneeling in her lowly cell, By the angel Gabriel. 3 Jesus! Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave-- "Jesus shall His people save." 4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child, When the cup of human woe First He tasted here below. 5 Jesus! only Name that's given, Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters, and is saved. 6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Human Name of God above; Pleading only this we flee, Helpless, O our God, to Thee. Topics: Circumcision

Joy fills the dwelling of the just

My sins, my sins, my Saviour!

Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My sins, my sins, my Saviour! They take such hold on me, I am not able to look up, Save only, Christ, to Thee; In Thee is all forgiveness, In Thee abundant grace, My shadow and my sunshine The brightness of Thy face. 2 My sins, my sins, my Saviour! How sad on Thee they fall; Seen through Thy gentle patience, I tenfold feel them all; I know they are forgiven, But still, their pain to me Is all the grief and anguish They laid, my Lord, on Thee. 3 My sins, my sins, my Saviour! Their guilt I never knew Till with Thee, in the desert, I near Thy Passion drew; Till, with Thee, in the garden, I heard Thy pleading prayer, And saw the sweat-drops bloody That told Thy sorrow there. 4 Therefore my songs, my Saviour, E'en in this time of woe, Shall tell of all Thy goodness To suffering man below; Thy goodness and Thy favour, Whose presence from above, Rejoice those hearts, my Saviour, That live in Thee and love.

O Lord of Hosts, Whose glory fills

Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, Whose glory fills The bounds of the eternal hills, And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands, To dwell in temples made of hands; 2 Grant that all we who here to-day Rejoicing this foundation lay, May be in very deed Thine own, Built on the precious Corner-stone. 3 Endue the creatures with Thy grace, That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place; The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them Thine. 4 To Thee they all pertain; to Thee The treasures of the earth and sea; And when we bring them to Thy throne, We but present Thee with Thine own. 5 The heads that guide endue with skill; The hands that work preserve from ill; That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the topstone in its day. .

O sacred Head, now wounded

Appears in 736 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame bowed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown. O sacred Head, what glory, What bliss till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, Was all for sinners' gain: Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Saviour: 'T is I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favour, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 The joy can ne'er be spoken, Above all joys beside, When in thy body broken I thus with safety hide. Lord of my life, desiring thy glory now to see, Beside Thy Cross expiring, I'd breathe my soul to Thee. 4 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine for ever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love for Thee. 5 Be near when I am dying, O show Thy Cross to me; And for my succour flying, Come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, From Jesus, shall not move; For he, who dies believing, Dies safely, through Thy love.

O Thou, from Whom all goodness flows

Appears in 419 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from Whom all goodness flows, I lift my heart to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Dear Lord, remember me. When on my aching, burdened heart My sins lie heavily, My pardon grant, Thy peace impart: In love, remember me. 2 When trials sore obstruct my way, And ills I cannot flee, O let my strength be as my day; For good, remember me. If worn with pain, disease, and grief, This feeble frame should be, Grant patience, rest, and kind relief: Hear and remember me. 3 And oh, when in the hour of death I own Thy just decree, By this the prayer of my last breath, Dear Lord, remember me. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God Whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore.

O worship the King

Appears in 1,174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Worship the King, All glorious above, O gratefully sing His power and His love; Our Shield and Defender, The Ancient of days, Pavilion'd in splendour, And girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath Deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is His path On the wings of the storm. 3 The earth, with its store, Of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power Hath founded of old-- Hath stablished it fast By a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, Like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care What tongue can recite? It breathes in the air; It shines in the light; It streams from the hills; It descends to the plain; And sweetly distils On the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, And feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, Nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, How firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 6 O measureless might! Ineffable love! While angels delight To hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, Though feeble their lays, With true adoration Shall lisp to Thy praise. Topics: Miscellaneous
