Rejoice, all ye believers

Author: Jane L. Borthwick; Laurentius Laurenti Appears in 334 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh. Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle-- At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up,up, ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Amen.

Valet Will Ich Der Geben

Author: Valerius Herberger Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 58 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: Valet will ich dir geben Lyrics: 1 Valet will ich dir geben, Du arge, falsche Welt, Dein sündlich, böses Leben Durchaus mir nicht gefällt. Im Himmel ist gut wohnen, Hinauf steht mein’ Begier, Da wird Gott ewig lohnen Dem, der ihm dient allhier. 2 Rat mir nach deinem Herzen, O Jesu, Gottes Sohn! Soll ich hier dulden Schmerzen, Hilf mir, Herr Christ, davon! Verkürz mir alles Leiden, Stärk meinen blöden Mut, Laß mich selig abscheiden, Setz mich in dein Erbgut! 3 In meines Herzens Grunde Dein Nam’ und Kreuz allein Funkelt all’ Zeit und Stunde, Drauf kann ich fröhlich sein. Erschein mir in dem Bilde Zu Trost in meiner Not, Wie du, Herr Christ, so milde Dich hast geblut’t zu Tod! 4 Verbirg mein’ Seel’ aus Gnaden In deiner offnen Seit’, Rück sie aus allem Schaden Zu deiner Herrlichkeit! Der ist wohl hier gewesen, Der kommt ins Himmelsschloß; Der ist ewig genesen, Der bleibt in deinem Schoß. 5 Schreib meinen Nam’n aufs beste Ins Buch des Lebens ein Und bind mein’ Seel’ fein feste Ins schöne Bündelein Der’r, die im Himmel grünen Und vor dir leben frei, So will ich ewig rühmen, Daß dein Herz treue sei.

Light of the Gentile nations

Author: Martin Franck; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 37 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations, Thy people's joy and love, Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind As Simeon once had waited His Savior God to find. 2 Yes, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E'en now, in ev'ry place, Where Thy true Word has promised, That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith's strong arms to bear Thee, As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our joy, our brightness, That shines 'mid pain and loss, Our sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross, A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, friend in sickness, In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, So that his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace, I pray, Since I have seen my Savior, And have beheld His day." 5 My Savior, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith; No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith; Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee!

Farewell I Gladly Bid Thee

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Valerius Herberger Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Farewell I gladly bid thee, False, evil world, farewell. Thy life is vain and sinful, With thee I would not dwell. I long to be in heaven, In that untroubled sphere Where they will be rewarded Who served their God while here. 2 By Thy good counsel lead me, O Son of God, my Stay; In each perplexing trial Help me, O Lord, I pray. Mine hour of sorrow shorten, Support my fainting heart, From ev'ry cross deliver, The crown of life impart. 3 When darkness round me gathers, Thy name and cross, still bright, Deep in my heart are sparkling Like stars in blackest night. O heart, this image cherish: The Christ on Calvary, How patiently He suffered And shed His blood for me! 4 Lord, hide my soul securely Deep in Thy wounded side; From every danger shield me And to Thy glory guide. He has been truly blessèd Who reaches heaven above; He has found perfect healing Who rests upon Thy love. 5 Lord, write my name, I pray Thee, Now in the Book of Life, And with all true believers Take me where joys are rife. There let me bloom and flourish, Thy perfect freedom prove, And tell, as I adore Thee, How faithful was Thy love. Amen.

O Father, You Are Sovereign

Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 O Father, you are sovereign in all the worlds you made; your mighty word was spoken and light and life obeyed. Your voice commands the seasons and bounds the ocean’s shore, sets stars within their courses and stills the tempests’ roar. 2 O Father, you are sovereign in all affairs of man; no pow'rs of death or darkness can thwart Your perfect plan. All chance and change transcending, supreme in time and space, you hold your trusting children secure in your embrace. 3 O Father, you are sovereign the Lord of human pain, transmuting earthly sorrows to gold of heav'nly gain. All evil over-ruling, as none but Conqu'ror could, your love pursues its purpose — our souls’ eternal good. 4 O Father, you are sovereign! We see you dimly now, but soon before your triumph earth’s every knee shall bow. With this glad hope before us our faith springs up anew: our sovereign Lord and Savior, we trust and worship you!

Blest be the King whose coming

Author: Federico F. Pagura, b. 1923; F. Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God! For him let doors be opened, no hearts against him barred! Not robed in royal splendor, in power and pomp, comes he; but clad as are the poorest, such his humility! 2 Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God! By those who truly listen his voice is truly heard; pity the proud and haughty, who have not learned to heed the Christ who is the Promise, who has atonement made. 3 Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God! He only to the humble reveals the face of God. All power is his, all glory! All things are in his hand, all ages and all peoples, till time itself shall end! 4 Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God! He offers to the burdened the rest and grace they need. Gentle is he and humble! And light his yoke shall be, for he would have us bear it so he can make us free. Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN

Author: Unknown Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Lift up your hearts, believers! This is the holy day when Jesus, our Redeemer, completes salvation's way. The forty days are over, and clouds shine high and bright as Christ, the overcomer, is lifted from our sight. 2 Lift up your hearts, believers! Ye gates, lift up your heads! Though minds be full of wonder, though souls be filled with dread. The Spirit has been promised, and, though we are alone, we wait until the moment when fire and wind are known. 3 Lift up your hearts believers! And do not be downcast, for Jesus, our Redeemer, receives the crown at last. The thorns of crucifixion are changed to stars of light, and Christ, the Lord of glory, is named as God's delight. 4 Lift up your hearts, believers! This is the holy day when Jesus, our Redeemer, completes salvation's way. Topics: Christ Risen Ascension; Christian Year Ascension Scripture: Acts 1:1-11 Used With Tune: ST. THEODULPH
