Hosannah to the royal Son

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8 Lyrics: Hosannah to the royal Son Of David's ancient line! His natures two, his person one, Mysterious and divine. The root of David here, we find, And offspring is the same: Eternity and time are joined In our Immanuel's name. Blest he that comes to wretched men With peaceful news from heav'n! Hosannahs of the highest strain To Christ the Lord be giv'n! Let mortals ne'er refuse to take Th' hosannah on their tongues, Lest rocks and stones should rise and break Their silence into songs.

The Victory of the King of Kings

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:6 First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics: 1 The mighty frame of glorious grace, That brightest monument of praise That e'er the God of love design'd, Employs and fills my laboring mind. 2 Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song, A burden for an angel's tongue: When Gabriel sounds these awful things, He tunes and summons all his strings. 3 Proclaim inimitable love: Jesus, the Lord of worlds above, Puts off the beams of bright array, And veils the God in mortal clay. 4 He that distributes crowns and thrones Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans: The Prince of Life resigns his breath, The King of Glory bows to death. 5 But see the wonders of his power, He triumphs in his dying hour, And, while by Satan's rage he fell, He dash'd the rising hopes of hell. 6 Thus were the hosts of death subdu'd, And sin was drown'd in Jesus's blood: Thus he arose, and reigns above, And conquers sinners by his love. 7 Who shall fulfil this boundless song? The theme surmounts an Angel's tongue: How low, how vain are mortal airs, When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs! Topics: The Exaltation of the Prince of Peace: The Saviour of the World

The duteous day now closeth

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:3-4 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth, each flower and tree reposeth, shade creeps o’er wild and wood: let us, as night is falling, on God our Maker calling, give thanks to him, the giver good. 2 Now all the heavenly splendour breaks forth in starlight tender from myriad worlds unknown; and man, the marvel seeing, forgets his selfish being, for joy of beauty not his own. 3 His care he drowneth yonder, lost in the abyss of wonder; to heaven his soul doth steal; this life he disesteemeth, the day it is that dreameth, that doth from truth his vision seal. 4 Awhile his mortal blindness may miss God’s loving-kindness, and grope in faithless strife: but when life’s day is over shall death’s fair night discover the fields of everlasting life.

O God Beyond All Praising

Author: Michaal Perry, 1942-1996 Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8 Lyrics: 1 O God beyond all praising, we worship you today and sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay; for we can only wonder at every gift you send, at blessings without number and mercies without end. We lift our hearts before you and wait upon your Word, we honor and adore you, our great and mighty Lord. 2 The flower of earthly splendor in time must surely die, its fragile bloom surrender to you, the Lord most high; but hidden from all nature the eternal seed is sown though small in mortal stature, to heaven's garden grown: for Christ, your gift from heaven, from death has set us free, and we through him are given the final victory. 3 Then hear, O gracious Savior, accept the love we bring, that we who know your favor may serve you as our King; and whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill, we'll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still: to marvel at your beauty and glory in your ways, and make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise.
