Again the Lord's Own Day Is Here

Author: Thomas à Kempis, 1379-1471; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Again the Lord’s own day is here, The day to Christian people dear, As, week by week, it bids them tell How Jesus rose from death and hell. 2. For by His flock their Lord declared His resurrection should be shared; And we who trust in Him to save With Him are risen from the grave. 3. We, one and all, of Him possessed, Are with exceeding treasures blessed, For all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share. 4. Eternal glory, rest on high, A blessèd immortality, True peace and gladness, and a throne, Are all His gifts, and all our own. 5. And therefore unto Thee we sing, O Lord of peace, eternal King; Thy love we praise, Thy name adore, Both on this day and evermore. Used With Tune: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

Awake, Our Souls, Away, Our Fears

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 403 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls, away, our fears, let ev'ry trembling thought be gone; awake, and run the heav'nly race, and put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, and mortal spirits tire and faint, but they forget the mighty God, who feeds the strength of ev'ry saint; 3 thee, mighty God, whose matchless power is ever new and ever young, and firm endures, while endless years their everlasting circles run. 4 From thee, the overflowing spring, our souls shall drink a fresh supply, while such as trust their native strength shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as an eagle mounts the air, we'll mount aloft to thine abode; on wings of love our souls shall fly, nor tire amidst the heav'nly road.

Doane Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 491 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fling out the banner: let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; The sun, that lights its shining folds, The cross, on which the Saviour died. 2 Fling out the banner: angels bend In anxious silence o’er the sign, And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the Love Divine. 3 Fling out the banner: heathen lands Shall see from far the glorious sight; And nations, crowding to be born, Baptize their spirits in its light. 4 Fling out the banner: let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide: Our glory only in the cross, Our only hope, the Crucified.

Give to the Lord, Ye Sons of Fame

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and power, Ascribe due honors to His name, And His eternal might adore. 2. The Lord proclaims His power aloud Over the ocean and the land; His voice divides the watery cloud, And lightnings blaze at His command. 3. He speaks, and tempest, hail and wind, Lay the wide forest bare around: The fearful hart and frightened hind Leap at the terror of the sound. 4. To Lebanon He turns His voice, And lo, the stately cedars break; The mountains tremble at the noise, The valleys roar, the deserts quake. 5. The Lord sits sovereign on the flood, The Thund’rer reigns for ever king; But makes His Church His blest abode, Where we His awful glories sing. 6. In gentler language there, the Lord, The counsels of His grace imparts; Amidst the raging storm, His Word Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.

Now let our faith with joy survey

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now let our faith with joy survey The glories of the latter day; Its dawn already seems begun, Sure earnest of the rising sun. 2 The friends of truth assembled stand, A chosen, consecrated band, The emblem of the cross display, And cry aloud, "Behold the way!" 3 Behold the way to Zion’s hill, Where Israel’s God delights to dwell; He fixes there His lofty throne, And calls the sacred place His own. 4 "Behold the way!" ye heralds! cry; Spare not, but lift your voices high; Convey the sound from shore to shore, And bid the captive sigh no more. 5 Auspicious dawn! thy rising ray With joy we view, and hail the day; Thou Sun! arise, supremely bright, And fill the world with purest light.

Come, sinners, now no more delay, But seek redemption in His blood. 2 Oh! what a condescending grace! He left His Father’s throne above; Came down to save the human race, With bowels filled with endless love. 3 The heavenly angels, with the news, Came to the shepherds for to tell: This day is born among the Jews, God’s Son, the Prince Immanuel. 4 Oh! how the shepherds did rejoice, At the glad tidings of our king: And straight they heard a joyful noise, The choirs of heavenly angels sing; 5 All glory be to God on high, Who pitied sinful men forlorn; Peace be on earth, good will to men, The Savior of the world is born.

Hark! Hark! What News The Angels Bring

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Hark! hark! what news the angels bring! Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark! what news the angels bring! Glad tidings of the newborn King; The promised Savior of mankind; Sinners, in Him salvation find. 2 This is the day, and this the morn, Which hailed the almighty Savior born, Born of the holy virgin pure, Born without sin, from guilt secure. 3 Hail blessèd virgin, full of grace! Blessèd above all mortal race, Whose blessèd womb brought forth in one, A God, a Savior, and a Son. 4 Hail! perfect God and perfect Man, Thy wondrous birth what mind shall scan? In vain the highest seraph tries To search Thy love’s deep mysteries. 5 Arise, my soul, and then, my voice, In hymns of praise early rejoice, His fame extol and magnify, Upon these errands angels fly. 6 If angels sang at Jesus’ birth What cause for holy joy on earth! For us our feeble flesh He took, For us the realms of light forsook. 7 Dear Christ, Thou didst Thyself debase, Thus to descend to human race, And leave Thy Father’s throne above: Lord, what could move Thee to this love? 8 Man that was made out of the dust, He found a paradise at first; But see the God of Heaven and earth Laid in a manger at His birth. 9 Surely the manger where He lies Doth figure out His sacrifice, And by His birth all men may see A pattern of humility. 10 Stupendous Child! my God and King! The wonders of Thy love I’ll sing; To grateful accents tune my voice, And, while I live, in Thee rejoice. 11 My soul, learn by Thy Savior’s birth For to debase thyself on earth, That I may be exalted high, To live with Him eternally. 12 I am resolved whilst here I live, As I’m in duty bound, to give All glory to the Deity, One God alone in persons three.
