Appears in 207 hymnals Scripture: Luke 24:51-52 Lyrics: 1 O for a Shout of sacred Joy to God the sov'reign King! Let ev'ry Land their Tongues employ, and Hymns of Triumph sing. 2 Jesus, our God ascends on high; his heav'nly Guards around Attend him rising through the Sky, with Trumpet's joyful Sound. 3 While Angels shout and praise their King, let Mortals learn their Strains; Let all the Earth his Honours sing; o'er all the Earth he reigns. 4 Rehearse his Praise with Awe profound, let Knowledge lead the Song; Nor mock him with a solemn Sound Upon a thoughtless Tongue. 5 In Isr'el stood his ancient Throne, he lov'd that chosen Race; But now he calls the World his own, And Heathens taste his Grace. 6 The British Kingdoms are the Lord's, there Abr'am's God is known, While Pow'rs and Princes, Shields and Swords, submit before his Throne.

Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old

Author: Edward H. Plumptre Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Luke 24:50 Lyrics: 1 Your hands, O Lord, in days of old were strong to heal and save; they triumphed over pain and death, o'er darkness and the grave. To you they went, the blind, the mute, the palsied and the lame, the leper set apart and shunned, the sick and those in shame. 2 And then your touch brought life and health, gave speech and strength and sight; and youth renewed, with health restored, claimed you, the Lord of light. And so, O Lord, be near to bless, almighty now as then, in every street, in every home, in every troubled friend. 3 O be our mighty healer still, O Lord of life and death; restore and strengthen, soothe and bless with your almighty breath. On hands that work and eyes that see, your healing wisdom pour, that whole and sick and weak and strong may praise you evermore.
