Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 819 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:25 Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long:
let every heart prepare a throne,
and every voice a song.
2 He comes, the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven's eternal arches ring
with thy belovèd name. Topics: Advent; Advent II Year A; Advent III Year B; Advent IV Year C; Proper 16 Year C; Proper 21 Year C Used With Tune: BRISTOL
Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Welcome, sweet day of rest
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 763 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:24 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise;
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes.
2 The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here we may sit and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day amidst the place
Which Jesus dwells within,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.

O Thou, in Whose Presence
Author: Joseph Swain Appears in 495 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:28-29 First Line: O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight,
On whom in affliction I call,
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all.
2 Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep,
To feed them in pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,
Or alone in this wilderness rove?
3 O why should I wander, an alien from Thee,
Or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,
And smile at the tears I have shed.
4 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for His word;
He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice,
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.
5 Dear Shepherd! I hear, and will follow Thy call;
I know the sweet sound of Thy voice;
Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all,
And in Thee I will ever rejoice.

Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: W. Whiting Appears in 424 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm restrains the restless wave,
Who told the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed bounds to keep:
We cry, O God of majesty,
For those in peril on the sea.
2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at your word,
Who walked across the surging deep
And in the storm lay calm in sleep:
We cry, O Lord of Galilee,
For those in peril on the sea.
3 Creator Spirit, by whose breath
Were fashioned sea and sky and earth;
Who made the stormy chaos cease
And gave us life and light and peace:
We cry, O Spirit strong and free,
For those in peril on the sea.

Preserve their lives in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, flood and flame,
Protect them by your holy name,
And to your glory let there be
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Topics: Authority of God; Gratitude; Petition; Trinity; Trust in God Used With Tune: MELITA Text Sources: Revised: Hymns For Today's Chruch, 1982
Eternal Father, Strong to Save
When His Salvation Bringing
Author: John King Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 421 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:26 Lyrics: 1 When his salvation bringing,
to Zion Jesus came,
the children all stood singing
hosannas to his name:
nor did their zeal offend him,
but as he rode along,
he let them still attend him,
and smiled to hear their song.
2 And since the Lord retaineth
his love for children still,
though now as King he reigneth
on Zion's heav'nly hill,
we'll flock around his banner
who sits upon his throne,
and cry aloud, "Hosanna
to David's royal Son!"
3 For should we fail proclaiming
our great Redeemer's praise,
the stones, our silence shaming,
would their hosannas raise.
But shall we only render
the tribute of our words?
No, while our hearts are tender,
they too shall be the Lord's.

When His Salvation Bringing
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, ca. 675-749; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
4 Alleluia! Now we cry
to our Lord immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;
Alleluia! With the Son,
God the Father praising;
Alleluia! Yet a gain
to the Spirit raising.

Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face
How did my heart rejoice to hear
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 300 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:19 Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear
My friends devoutly say,
In Zion let us all appear,
And keep the solemn day.
2 I love her gates--I love the road;
The church, adorned with grace,
Stands like a palace built for God,
To show his milder face.
3 Up to her courts, with joy unknown,
The holy tribes repair:
The Son of David holds his throne,
And sits in judgment there.
4 He hears our praises and complaints,
And while his awful voice
Divides the sinners from the saints,
We tremble and rejoice.
5 Peace be within this sacred place,
And joy a constant guest;
With holy gifts and heavenly grace
Be her attendants blest!
6 My soul shall pray for Zion still,
While life or breath remains;
Here my best friends, my kindred dwell,
Here God, my Saviour, reigns. Topics: The Christian Church The Sanctuary; Delight in the Sabbath and Temple of God
