All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall; Behold the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all; Behold the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all! 2. Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, ye who did hear the call, Praise Him who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all; Praise Him who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all! 3. Let every kindred, every tribe, on this terrestrial ball, To him all majesty ascribe and crown Him Lord of all. To Him all majesty ascribe and crown Him Lord of all. 4. O that, with yonder angel throng, we at His feet may fall! We'll join the everlasting song and crown Him Lord of All; We'll join the everlasting song and crown Him Lord of all. * 2 All Hail the Power 1. All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall; Let angels prostrate fall; Behold the royal diadem, Refrain: And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all. 2. Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, Ye who did hear the call, ye who did hear the call, Praise Him who saves you by His grace, 3. Let every kindred, every tribe, on this terrestrial ball, on this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, 4. O that, with yonder angel throng, we at His feet may fall, we at His feet may fall! We'll join the ever lasting song, * 3 Come Thou, Almighty King 1. Come Thou, Almighty King. Help us Thy name to sing. Help us to praise. Father, all glorious, O'er all victorious, Come and reign over us, Ancient of Days. 2. Come Thou, Incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty sword. And us defend, Come and Thy people bless, and give Thy word success, Spirit of holiness, our prayer attend. 3. Come, Holy Advocate, A pure heart in us create, In this glad hour, Thou, Who almighty be, Open our minds to see what Christ would have us be, Spirit of power. * 4 A Mighty Fortress Is Our God 1. A mighty Fortress is our God, a Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe, doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great and, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He, Lord Sabaoth His name, from age to age the same, and He must win the battle. 3. That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him who with us sideth; Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill, God's truth abideth still; His Kingdom is forever. * 5 The Solid Rock 1. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus' name. Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. 2. When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace. In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the vale. 3. His oath, His covenant, His blood support me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my Hope and Stay. 4. When He shall come with trumpet sound, oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. * 6 Blessed Be the Name 1. O, for a thousand tongues to sing, Blessed be the name of the Lord! The glories of my God and King! Blessed be the name of the Lord! Refrain: Blessed be the name, blessed be the name, Blessed be the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name, blessed be the name, Blessed be the name of the Lord! 2. Jesus, the name that calms our fears, Blessed be the name of the Lord! 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, Blessed be the name of the Lord! 3. He breaks the power of cancelled sin; Blessed be the name of the Lord! His blood can make the foulest clean. Blessed be the name of the Lord! 4. I never shall forget that day Blessed be the name of the Lord! When Jesus washed my sins away. Blessed be the name of the Lord! * 7 Christ the Lord is Risen Today 1. Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia! Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia! Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply: Alleluia! 2. Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia! Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia! Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia! Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia! 3. Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia! Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia! Christ has opened Paradise, Alleluia! 4. Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia! Following our exalted Head, Alleluia! Made like Him, like him we rise, Alleluia! Ours the life, the earth, the skies, Alleluia! * 8 Come, Thou, Fount of Every Blessing 1. Come, Thou, Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet sung by flaming tongues above, Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love! 2. Here I raise my Ebenezer, Hither by Thy help I'm come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me, when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood. 3. O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above. * 9 Crown Him with Many Crowns 1. Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee; And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity. 2. Crown Him the Lord of love! Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified; No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his wondering eye at mysteries so bright. 3. Crown Him the Lord of life! Who triumphed o'er the grave, Who rose victorious to the strife for those He came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring and lives that death may die. 4. Crown Him the Lord of heaven! One with the Father known, Receive the Spirit through Him given from yonder glorious throne! To Thee be endless praise, for Thou for us hast died; Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days, adored and magnified. * 10 Eternal Father, Strong to Save 1. Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm doth bind the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep its own appointed limits keep: O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea. 2. O Savior, Whose almighty word the winds and waves submissive heard, Who walkedst on the foaming deep and calm amid its rage didst sleep: O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea. 3. Your sacred Spirit, Who didst brood upon the chaos dark and rude, Who badest its angry tumult cease and gavest light and life and peace: O hear us when we cry to Thee for those in peril on the sea. 4. O mighty God of love and power Our brethren shield in danger's hour, from rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go: And ever let there rise to Thee glad hymns of praise from land and sea. * 11 God of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand 1. God of our fathers, whose almighty hand, Leads forth in beauty all the starry band, Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies, Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise. 2. Thy love divine hath led us in the past; In this free land by Thee our lot is cast; Be Thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide and Stay: Thy word our law, Thy paths our chosen way. 3. From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence. Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense; Thy true religion in our hearts increase, Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace. 4. Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way, Lead us from night to never ending day; Fill all our lives with love and grace divine, And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine. * 12 Battle Hymn of the Republic 1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on, Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is Marching on. 2. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer Him, be jubilant my feet! Our God is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on. 3. In the beauty of the autumn Christ was born across the sea, with a Glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He lives to make men holy, let us live to make men free! While God is marching on, Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on. * 13 O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing 1. O for a thousand tongues to sing my dear Redeemer's praise; The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace! 2. Jesus, the name that calms our fear, That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life and health and peace. 3. He breaks the power of reigning sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the sinful clean, His blood availed for me. 4. My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad the honors of Thy name. * 14 Guide Me, O Thou Great Eternal 1. Guide me, O Thou great Eternal, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand; Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want to more, Feed me till I want no more. 2. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through; Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 3. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side; Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee, I will ever give to Thee. * 15 Holy, Holy, Holy 1. Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song to Thee be raised; Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and mighty! God ever glorious evermore be praised. 2. Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. 3. Holy, Holy, Holy! Though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see. Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity. 4. Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth and sky and sea; Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and mighty! God ever glorious, ever praise to Thee. * 16 How Firm a Foundation 1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in His excellent word! What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you who, for refuge, to Jesus have fled? To you who, for refuge, to Jesus have fled? 2. Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed, for I am thy God, I will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand, upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 3. When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake. * 17 Love Divine, All Loves Excelling 1. Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down, Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart. 2. Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest; Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its Beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3. Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never, never more Thy temples leave, Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above; Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4. Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation perfectly restored in Thee; Changed from glory into glory, Till with Thee we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise. * 18 I Am Thine, O Lord 1. I am Thine, O Lord, I have head Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith and be closer drawn to Thee. Refrain: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the way that Thou hast shown; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy ever ruling throne. 2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, by the power of grace divine; Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope and my will be lost in Thine. 3. O the pure delight of a single hour, that before Thy throne I spend; When I kneel in prayer and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend! 4. There are depths of love that I cannot know till I have immortality; There are heights of joy that I may not reach till I rest in peace with Thee. * 19 O Worship the King 1. O worship the King, all glorious above, O gratefully sing His power and His love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavillioned in splendor, 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 the deep thunder clouds form, and dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3. 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 distills in the dew and the rain. 4. 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! * 20 Praise Him! Praise Him! 1. Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! Sing O Earth, His wonderful love proclaim! Hail Him! Hail Him! Highest archangels in glory; Strength and honor give to His holy name! Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children, In His arms He carries them all day long. Refrain: Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness. Praise Him! Praise Him! Ever in joyful song! 2. Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died; He our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation, Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus the Glorified. Sound His praises! Jesus who bore our sorrows, Love unbounded, wonderful, deep and strong. 3. Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! Heavenly portals, loud with hosannas ring! Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever, Crown Him! Crown Him, Prophet, and Priest, and King! Christ is coming over the world victorious, Power and glory unto the Lord belong. * 21 Revive Us Again 1. We praise Thee, O God, for the Son of Thy love, For Jesus who died and is now gone above! Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory, Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! Thine the glory; revive us again. 2. We praise Thee, O God, for Thy Spirit of light, Who has shown us our Savior and scattered our night! 3. All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain, Who has borne all our sins and hath cleansed every stain. 4. Revive us again; fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled with fire from above. * 22 Praise Ye, the Lord, the Almighty 1. Praise ye the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is they health and salvation! All ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near; Join me in glad adoration! 2. Praise ye the Lord, who o'er all things to wondrously reigneth, Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth! Hast thou not seen how thy desires e'er have been Granted in what He ordaineth? 3. Praise ye the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him! Let the Amen sound from His people again; Gladly for aye we adore Him. * 23 Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus 1. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the word; Lift high His royal banner, Ye must not be deterred: From victory unto victory His army shall He lead, Till every foe is vanquished and Christ is Lord indeed. 2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict in this, His glorious day: Ye that are men now serve Him against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose. 3. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in His strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer, Where duty calls, or danger, be never wanting there. 4. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The strife will not be long, This day the noise of battle, The next, the victor's song. To him that overcometh a crown of life shall be; He, with the King of Glory, shall reign eternally. * 24 Standing on the Promises 1. Standing on the promises of Christ, my King, Through eternal ages let His praises ring; Glory in the highest I will shout and sing, standing on the promises of God, Refrain: Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior, Standing, standing, I'm standing on the promises of God. 2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail, when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, By the living Word of God, I shall prevail, Standing on the promises of God, 3. Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord, Bound to Him eternally by love's strong cord, Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword, Standing on the promises of God, 4. Standing on the promises I cannot fall, Listening every moment to the Spirit's call, Resting in my Savior as my all in all, Standing on the promises of God, * 25 The Church's One Foundation 1. The Church's one Foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is His new creation by water and the word; From heaven He came and sought her to be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died. 2. Elect from every nation yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation one Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses with every grace endued. 3. 'Mid toil and tribulation and tumult of her war, She waits the consummation of peace forever more, Till, with the vision glorious, her longing eyes are blest, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4. Yet she on earth hath union with God and Christ, His Son, and there is sweet communion with those whose rest is won; O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, may one day reign with Thee. * 26 To God Be the Glory 1. To God be the glory; great things He hath done! So loved He the world that He gave us His Son. Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, and opened the life gate that all may go in. Refrain: Praise the Lord; praise the Lord; let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord; praise the Lord; let the people rejoice! O come to the Father through Jesus, the Son, and give Him the glory; great things He hath done! 2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood! To every believer the promise of God; The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. 3. Great things He hath taught us; great things He hath done! And great our rejoicing through Jesus, the Son; But purer and higher and greater will be our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. * 27 O God, Our Help in Ages Past 1. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home. 2. Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, to endless years the same. 3. A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 4. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while life shall last and our eternal home. * 28 Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee 1. Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day. 2. All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reflect Thy rays; Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in Thee. 3. Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, Well-spring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. 4. Mortals, join the happy chorus which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o'er us; brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife. Joyful music leads us onward in the triumph song of life. * 29 Never Alone 1. I've seen the lightning flashing and heard the thunder roll; I've felt sin's breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul; I've heard the voice of my Savior telling me still to fight on; He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. Refrain: No, never alone! No, never alone! He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone! No never alone! No, never alone! He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. 2. The world's fierce winds are blowing temptations sharp and keen; I feel a peace in knowing my Savior stands between; He stands to shield me from danger when earthly friends are gone; He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. 3. When in affliction's valley I'm treading the road of care, My Savior helps me to carry my cross when heavy to bear, My feet, entangled with briars ready to cast me down, My Savior whispers His promise, "I never will leave thee alone." * 30 We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer 1. We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator; In grateful devotion our tribute we bring. We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee, We bless Thy holy name, glad praises we sing. 2. We worship Thee, God of our fathers, we bless Thee; Through life's storm and tempest our Guide hast Thou been. When perils o'ertake us, escape Thou wilt make us, and, with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win. 3. With voices united our praises we offer; To Thee, great Eternal, glad anthems we raise. Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us; To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise. * 31 Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation 1. Christ is made the sure Foundation, Christ the Head and Cornerstone, chosen of the Lord and precious, binding all the Church in one, Holy Zion's help forever, and her confidence alone. 2. To this temple where we call Thee, come, O Lord of Hosts, today; With Thy wonted loving kindness hear Thy people as they pray, and Thy fullest benediction shed within its walls always. 3. Here assure to all Thy servants what they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee forever with the blessed to retain, and here after in thy glory evermore with Thee to reign. * 32 From All That Dwell Below the Skies 1. From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise: Alleluia! Alleluia! Let the Redeemer's name be sung through every land, in every tongue. Refrain: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 2. In every land begin the song, To every land the strains belong. Alleluia! Alleluia! In cheerful sound all voices raise and fill the world with joyful praise. 3. Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord; Eternal truth attends Thy word. Alleluia! Alleluia! Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore Till suns shall rise an set no more. * 33 I Sing the Mighty Power of God 1. I sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise. That spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. I sing the Wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey. 2. I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with His word and then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed where'er I turn my eye, If I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky! 3. There's not a plant or flower below but makes Thy glories known, And clouds arise and tempests blow by order from Thy throne, While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care, And everywhere that man can be, Thou, God, art present there. * 34 Lord, Thou Hast Been our Dwelling Place 1. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place through all the ages of our race, before the mountains had their birth, Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth. From everlasting Thou art God, to everlasting our abode. 2. O teach Thou us to count our days and set our hearts on wisdom's ways; Turn, Lord to us in our distress, In pity now Thy servants bless. Let mercy's dawn dispel our night and all our day with joy be bright. 3. O send the day of joy and light, for long has been our sorrow's night; Afflicted through the weary years, We wait until Thy help appears. With us and with our sons abide; in us let God be glorified. 4. So let there be on us bestowed the beauty of the Lord our God; The work accomplished by our hand establish Thou, and make it stand. Yes, let our hopeful labor be established evermore by Thee. * 35 Bringing in the Sheaves 1. Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness, Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve, Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. Refrain: Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves; Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. 2. Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows, Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze, By and by the harvest, and the labor ended, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. 3. Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master, Though the loss sustained our spirit often grieves, When our weeping's over, He will bid us welcome, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. * 36 The Spacious Firmament on High 1. The spacious firmament on high with all the blue ethereal sky and spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th'unwearied sun, from day to day, does his Creator's power display and publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand. 2. Soon as the evening shades prevail, the moon takes up the wondrous tale and nightly, to the listening earth, Repeats the story of her birth. Whilst all the stars that 'round her burn and all the planets in their turn confirm the tidings as they roll and spread the truth from pole to pole. 3. What, though in solemn silence all move 'round this dark terrestrial ball? What, though no real voice nor sound amidst the radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice and utter forth a glorious voice, forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." * 37 When Morning Gilds the Skies 1. When morning gilds the skies, my heart, awaking, cries, May Jesus Christ be praised. Alike at work and prayer to Jesus I repair; May Jesus Christ be praised! 2. The night becomes as day when, from the heart, we say, May Jesus Christ be praised. The powers of darkness fear When this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praised! 3. Ye nations of mankind, in this your concord find; May Jesus Christ be praised. Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound, May Jesus Christ be praised! 4. Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine, May Jesus Christ be praised. Be this th'eternal song, Through all the ages long; May Jesus Christ be praised! * 38 He Keeps Me Singing 1. There's within my heart a melody Jesus whispers sweet and low, fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still, in all of life's ebb and flow. Refrain: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know, Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go. 2. All my life was wrecked by sin and strife, Discord filled my heart with pain; Jesus swept across the broken strings, stirred the slumbering chords again. 3. Feasting on the riches of His grace, Resting 'neath His sheltering wing, Always looking to His gracious face, That is why I shout and sing. 4. Though sometimes He leads through waters deep, Trials fall across the way, Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep, See His footprints all the way. * 39 Take the Name of Jesus with You 1. Take the name of Jesus with you, child of sorrow and of woe; It will joy and comfort give you, Take it then where'er you go. Refrain: Precious name, O how sweet! Hope of earth and joy of heaven; Precious name, O how sweet! Hope of earth and joy of heaven. 2. Take the name of Jesus ever as a shield from every snare; If temptations 'round you gather, Breathe that holy name in prayer. 3. O the precious name of Jesus! How it thrills our souls with joy When His loving arms receive us, and His songs our tongues employ! 4. At the name of Jesus bowing, falling prostrate at His feet, King of kings on earth we'll crown Him when our journey is complete. *
