Oh, Sing with Exultation

Author: Anders C. Arrebo; Carl Döving Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, sing with exultation, Sing to the Lord, rejoice, And in His congregation Shout with triumphant voice. For, lo, at God's right hand Is Christ in glory seated; With death and hell defeated, As Victor He doth stand. 2 Since Christ, our Lord, is living, We nevermore shall die; To God the glory giving, We rise to Him on high. Tho' chastened we may be, And to our graves be taken, We unto life shall waken And live eternally. 3 Christ is the sure Foundation The builders did reject, But He for our salvation Is precious and elect And made the Cornerstone On which the Church is founded; This marvel now is sounded, The work of God alone. 4 To Thee, O Christ, be glory, Who camest in His name! Thy people sing the story Thy praises to proclaim. We thank Thee and adore, O Christ, our Lord and Savior; Thy grace and boundless favor Stand fast forevermore. Amen.

My heart with deep emotion

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My heart with deep emotion Gives thanks to Thee and praise, In early morn's devotion, And throughout all my days; O God, upon thy throne! To honor and adore Thee, I bring my praise before Thee Through Christ, Thine Only Son. 2 For, 'twas Thy grace that o'er me Kept vigil through the night, And 'twas Thy arm that bore me, Safe through morning light. To Thee my prayer I raise; Werein I did offend Thee, Do Thou forgive; defend me In all my future days. 3 My life, my soul,--defend them! My wife, child, goods, and home,-- To Thy hand I commend them, From Thee these blessings come. Thy bounteous hand bestows My household and my treasures, my parents, friends, and pleasures; Through thee my cup o'erflows. 4 God shall do my advising, Whose might with wisdom blends; May He bless rest and rising, My efforts, means and ends! To god, forever blessed, Will I with mine confide me, And suffer Him to guide me As seemeth to Him best. 5 Amen: Lord, Thou wilt hear me With this I close my prayer; In all I do wilt cheer me, And keep me in Thy care. So I put forth my hands, And look not long behind me, But ply the task assigned me By God, as He commands.

Lo, God to Heav'n Ascendeth

Author: Gottfried W. Sacer; Frances E. Cox Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Lo, God to Heav'n ascendeth! Lyrics: 1. Lo, God to Heav’n ascendeth! Throughout its regions vast With shouts triumphant blendeth the trumpet’s thrilling blast: Sing praise to Christ the Lord; sing praise with exultation, King of each heathen nation, the God of hosts adored! 2. With joy is Heav’n resounding Christ’s glad return to see; Behold the saints surrounding the Lord who set them free. Bright myriads, thronging, come; the cherub band rejoices, And loud seraphic voices all welcome Jesus home. 3. From cross to throne ascending, we follow Christ on high And know the pathway wending to mansions in the sky. Our Lord is gone before; yet here He will not leave us, And soon in Heav’n receive us and open wide the door. 4. Our place He is preparing; to Heav’n we, too, shall rise, With Him His glory sharing, be where our treasure lies. Bestir thyself, my soul! Where Jesus Christ has entered, There let Thy hope be centered; press onward toward the goal. 5. Let all our thoughts be winging to where Thou didst ascend, And let our hearts be singing: We seek Thee, Christ, our friend, Thee, God’s exalted Son, our life, and way to Heaven, To whom all power is given, our joy and hope and crown.

The Kingdom Satan Founded

Author: T. H. Kingo, 1634-1703; C. Døving, 1807-1937 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The kingdom Satan founded Shall now be overthrown, For Christ its fall hath sounded, And through His pow'r alone Shall Satan meet his doom, And be for aye confounded; He from the souls he wounded Shall flee in fear and gloom. 2 Though he would bind forever Our lips with bands of hell, Yet Christ, sent to deliver, Can loose those bands full well, That e'en the dumb may raise His voice with joy and pleasure And sing in sweetest measure To God his thanks and praise. 3 O Jesus! my distresses To Thee are known full well, Thou seest how Satan presses My soul's weak citadel; His aim is to control My members and my senses, With sin and with offenses He steals into my soul. 4 Anon my tongue he bindeth That God it shall not praise; Anon my eyes he blindeth To hide the light of grace; Now he my ears doth close To hinder me from hearing The Gospel's sound so cheering And soothing in my woes. 5 To God I raise my crying Before the mercy-seat, And on His Word relying I grace of Him entreat, That He for Jesus' sake Would cleanse my soul and spirit Through Jesus' blood and merit, And Satan's power break. 6 God, let not love of sinning Thy fear drive from my breast, Lest Satan, triumph winning, Be of my heart possessed; O let Thy chas'tning rod Each day give me direction, To seek Thy sure protection And tell Thy grace abroad. 7 My heart must Thou have solely, My Savior and my God! Come, Jesus, take it wholly, And make it Thine abode! Mold it to Thy control, That I, Thy Word receiving, May find, in Thee believing, Salvation for my soul.

Ye sons of men, in earnest

Author: Valentine Thilo; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, in earnest Prepare your hearts within, The wond'rous Conqu'ror cometh, Whose pow'r can save from sin, Whom God in grace alone Hath promised long to send us, To lighten and befriend us, And make His mercy known. 2 Oh, set your ways in order When such a Guest is nigh; Make plain the paths before Him That now deserted lie. Forsake what He doth hate, Exalt the lowly valleys, Bring down all pride and malice, And make the crooked straight. 3 'Twas thus St. John hath taught us, 'Twas thus he preached of yore; And they will feel God's anger Who list not to his lore. O God! now let his voice To Thy true service win us, That Christ may come within us, And we in Him rejoice.
