Hark, Ten Thousand Harps and Voices

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 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 heaven 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. 3 Saviour, hasten Thine appearing; Bring, oh, 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.

I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou given for Me? 2 My Father's house of light, My glory-circled throne I left, for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone; I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? 3 I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell, Of bitterest agony, To rescue thee from hell; I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? 4 And I have brought to thee, Down from my home above, Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love; I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? Amen. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: I GAVE MY LIFE FOR THEE

What Comfort Sweet to Pause

Author: Lars Linderot, 1761-1811 Meter: 6.6.7.6.7.6.6.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What comfort sweet to pause Close by the holy cross, And with the Saviour's mother In silence look upon Our dear and dying brother; For there all fears are gone, The peace of God abounds, In His peace-giving wounds. 2 What comfort sweet to own In His dear blood alone All sin and guilt forgiven. It cheers the weary heart, When love divine from heaven Does life and strength impart; The soul enjoys the peace That nevermore shall cease. 3 What comfort to believe In spite of woe and grief, Though worthy of perdition, Yet to this sinful heart Thou givest full remission. O Lord, Thy grace impart; I please, thy precious blood, Thou spotless Lamb of God. 4 What comfort sweet to tell My wants, I know it well-- And pray for more endurance When longing to believe, But lacking full assurance. No rest I can receive, Until I come to Thee, O Lamb of Calvary! 5 Let all here have access, Who yearn for happiness, Grace to the poor aboundeth, And peace to troubled hearts; For mercy's name here soundeth, And comfort sweet imparts To Him who comfortless For help and mercy prays. Amen. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: DET ÄR SÅ GODT ATT FÅ

O sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of heaven! Singing, Ringing, Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Lord to mankind given. 2 ’Tis God’s own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes, with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide, And help, as could no other; Rather Gather Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share, and be our aid, Through His eternal power; The Lord’s good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dying, Buying Through His passion Our salvation And to mortals Opening the heavenly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heaven is rent To close upon us never: Our blessed Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother.

Chosen Seed and Zion's Children

Author: Andreas Carl Rutström, 1721-1772 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Chosen seed and Zion’s children, Ransomed from eternal wrath, Traveling to the heavenly Canaan On a rough and thorny path; Church of God in Christ elected, Thou to God art reconciled, But on earth thou art a stranger, Persecuted and reviled. 2 Still rejoice amid thy trials, Nor regard thy lot amiss; For the kind and loving Saviour Is the source of all thy bliss; May He ever be thy portion, He who gave thee life and breath: In His keeping fear no evil Now or in the hour of death. 3 Pleasantly thy lines have fallen Underneath the tree of life: For the Lord is thy salvation, And thy shield in all thy strife: Here the timid bird finds shelter, Here the swallow finds a nest; Trembling fugitive a refuge, And the weary pilgrim rest. 4 Faith and love are the conditions; All on faith and love depends; Love of law is the fulfillment, Faith God’s mercy apprehends; Who hath faith shall see salvation, Who hath love shall life obtain. May, O Lord, Thy love possess us, And Thy Spirit in us reign. 5 And upon this blest foundation, Lord, our Lord and Saviour King, May Thy Spirit e’er unite us, To it may we ever cling. May we, members of one body, Grow into a perfect whole; Grant, O Lord, that in Thy people, There may be one heart and soul. Amen. Topics: The Church Used With Tune: LAMMETS FOLK OCH SIONS FRÄNDER

I must remember Thee. 5 Remember Thee and all Thy pains, And all Thy love to me; Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me. Amen. Topics: The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: NAOMI
