Descend from Heav'n, immortal Dove
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Descend from Heav’n, immortal Dove,
Stoop down and take us on Thy wings,
And mount and bear us far above
The reach of these inferior things:
2 Beyond, beyond this lower sky,
Up where eternal ages roll;
Where solid pleasures never die,
And fruits immortal feast the soul.
3 O for a sight, a pleasing sight
Of our almighty Father’s throne!
There sits our Savior crowned with light,
Clothed in a body like our own.
4 Adoring saints around Him stand,
And thrones and powers before Him fall;
The God shines gracious through the man,
And sheds sweet glories on them all.
5 O what amazing joys they feel
While to their golden harps they sing,
And sit on every heav’nly hill,
And spread the triumphs of their king!
6 When shall the day, dear Lord, appear,
That I shall mount to dwell above,
And stand and bow amongst them there,
And view Thy face, and sing, and love? Used With Tune: LOUVAN Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-09, Book II

And let Thy presence fill this place;
Oh, take our unbelief away,
Baptize us with Thy boundless grace.

Great Is The Lord, Exalted High
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord, exalted high,
Above all powers and every throne:
Whate’er He please, in earth or sea,
Or Heav’n or hell, His hand hath done.
2 At His command the vapors rise,
The lightnings flash, the thunders roar;
He pours the rain, He brings the wind
And tempest from His airy store.
3 ’Twas He those dreadful tokens sent,
O Egypt, through thy stubborn land,
When all thy first born, beasts and men,
Fell dead by His avenging hand.
4 What mighty nations, mighty kings
He slew, and their whole country gave
To Israel, whom His hand redeemed,
No more to be proud Pharaoh’s slave!
5 His power the same, the same His grace,
That saves us from the hosts of hell;
And Heav’n He gives us to possess,
Whence those apostate angels fell. Used With Tune: LOUVAN Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

But God hath built His Church thereon,

The joy and wonder of our eyes;
This is the day that proves it Thine,
The day that saw our Savior rise.
3 Sinners, rejoice; and saints, be glad;
Hosanna, let His name be blessed;
A thousand honors on His head,
With peace, and light, and glory rest!
4 In God’s own name He comes to bring
Salvation to our dying race;
Let the whole Church address their king
With hearts of joy and songs of praise. Used With Tune: LOUVAN Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Great Was The Day
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Great was the day, the joy was great Lyrics: 1 Great was the day, the joy was great,
When all the waiting disciples met;
Whilst on their heads the Spirit came,
And sat like tongues of cloven flame.
2 What gifts, what miracles He gave!
And power to kill, and power to save!
He furnished their tongues with wondrous words,
Instead of shields, and spears and swords.
3 Thus armed, He sent the champions forth
From east to west, from south to north:
Go, and assert your Savior’s cause;
Go, spread the mystery of His cross.
4 These weapons of the holy war,
Of what almighty force they are
To make our stubborn passions bow,
And lay the proudest rebel low!
5 Nations, the learnèd and the rude,
Are by these heavenly arms subdued;
While Satan rages at his loss,
And hates the doctrine of the cross.
6 Great King of Grace! my heart subdue;
I would be led in triumph, too,
A willing captive to my Lord,
And sing the victories of His Word. Used With Tune: LOUVAN Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Songs, 1709, Book II

Our God Ascends His Lofty Throne
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Our God ascends His lofty throne,
Arrayed in majesty unknown;
His luster all the temple fills,
And spreads over all th’ethereal hills.
2 The holy, holy, holy Lord,
By all the seraphim adored,
And, while they stand beneath His seat,
They veil their faces, and their feet.
3 And can a sinful worm endure
The presence of a God so pure?
Or these polluted lips proclaim
The honors of so grand a name?
4 O for Thine altar’s glowing coal,
To touch my lips, to fire my soul,
To purge the sordid dross away,
And into crystal turn my clay.
5 Then if a messenger Thou ask,
A laborer for the hardest task,
Thro’ all my weakness, and my fear,
Love shall reply, "Thy servant’s here."
6 Nor should my willing soul complain,
Tho’ all its efforts seemed in vain;
It ample recompense shall be,
But to have wrought, my God, for Thee. Used With Tune: LOUVAN Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns, Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures by Job Orton (Shropshire, England: Joshua Eddowes & John Cotton, 1755)

My Helper, God! I Bless His Name
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 57 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 My helper, God! I bless His name,
The same His power, His grace the same,
The tokens of His friendly care care
Open, and crown, and close the year.
2 I ’midst ten thousand dangers stand,
Supported by His guardian hand;
And see, when I survey my ways,
Ten thousand monuments of praise.
3 Thus far His arm has led me on;
Thus far I make His mercy known;
And, while I tread this desert land,
New mercies shall new songs demand.
4 My grateful soul, on Jordan’s shore,
Shall raise one sacred pillar more,
Then bear, in His bright courts above,
Inscriptions of immortal love. Used With Tune: LOUVAN Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
My Helper, God! I Bless His Name
The Turf Shall Be My Fragrant Shrine
Author: Thomas Moore Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The turf shall be my fragrant shrine,
My temple, Lord! that arch of Thine;
My censer’s breath the mountain airs,
And silent thoughts my only prayers.
2 My choir shall be the moonlight waves,
When murmuring homeward to their caves,
Or when the stillness of the sea,
E’en more than music, breathes of Thee!
3 I’ll seek, by day, some glade unknown,
All light and silence, like Thy throne;
And all the pale stars shall be at night,
The only eyes that watch my rite.
4 Thy Heaven, on which ’tis bliss to look,
Shall be my pure and shining book,
Where I shall read, in words of flame,
The glories of Thy wondrous name.
5 I’ll read Thy anger in the rack
That clouds awhile the day-beams track;
Thy mercy in the azure hue
Of sunny brightness breaking through!
6 There’s nothing bright, above, below,
From flowers that bloom to stars that glow,
But in its light my soul can see
Some feature of Thy deity.
7 There’s nothing dark, below, above,
But in its gloom I trace Thy love,
And meekly wait that moment, when
Thy touch shall turn all bright again! Used With Tune: LOUVAN
