I Love to Tell the Story

Author: Arabelle Katherine Hankey Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #625 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Scripture: Acts 1:8 Lyrics: 1 I love to tell the story of unseen things above, of Jesus and his glory, of Jesus and his love. I love to tell the story, because I know it's true; it satisfies my longings as nothing else could do. Refrain: I love to tell the story; I'll sing this theme in glory and tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love. 2 I love to tell the story; how pleasant to repeat what seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet! I love to tell the story, for some have never heard the message of salvation from God’s own holy word. [Refrain] 3 I love to tell the story, for those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear it, like the rest. And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song, I'll sing the old, old story that I have loved so long.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: Cowper Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #131 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Acts 1:7 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain: God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

First the blade, and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear, Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come and shall take his harvest home, from his field shall in that day all offenses purge away, give his angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in his garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come to your final harvest home, gather all your people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there, forever purified, in your presence to abide. Come, with all your angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

Jesus Glorified with Glory

Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLXXIII (1792) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Acts 1:10-11 First Line: Hail the day that sees him rise Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees him rise, Ravish'd from our wishful eyes! Christ a while to mortals giv'n, Reascends his native heav'n: There the pompous triumph waits, Lift your heads, eternal gates! Wide unfold the radiant scene, Take the King of glory in! 2 Him tho' highest heaven receives, Still he loves the earth he leaves; Tho' returning to his throne, Still he calls mankind his own: Still for us he intercedes, Prevalent his death he pleads; Next himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 3 Master (may we ever say) Taken from our head to day; See thy faithful servants, see, Ever gazing up to thee! Grant, tho' parted from our sight, High above yon azure height: Grant our souls may thither rise, Foll'wing thee beyond the skies. 4 Ever upward let us move, Wafted on the wings of love; Looking when our Lord shall come, Longing, gasping after home, There we shall with thee remain, Partners of thine endless reign; There thy face unclouded see, Find our heav'n of heav'n in thee.
