Lift Up Your Hearts to Things Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lift up your hearts to things above, Ye followers of the Lamb, And join with us to praise His love, And glorify His name. 2. To Jesus’ name give thanks and sing, Whose mercies never end: Rejoice! rejoice! the Lord is king; The King is now our friend! 3. We, for His sake, count all things loss; On earthly good look down; And joyfully sustain the cross, Till we receive the crown. 4. O let us stir each other up, Our faith by works to approve, By holy, purifying hope, And the sweet task of love! 5. Love us, though far in flesh disjoined, Ye lovers of the Lamb; And ever bear us on your mind, Who think and speak the same: 6. You on our minds we ever bear, Whoe’er to Jesus bow; Stretch out the arms of faith and prayer, And lo! we reach you now. 7. Surely we now your souls embrace, With you we now appear Present before the throne of grace, And you, and Christ, are here. 8. The blessings all on you be shed, Which God in Christ imparts; We pray the Spirit of our Head Into your faithful hearts. 9. Mercy and peace your portion be, To carnal minds unknown, The hidden manna, and the tree Of life, and the white stone. 10. Live till the Lord in glory come, And wait His Heaven to share: Our Savior now prepares our home: Go on—we’ll meet you there. Used With Tune: HUMMEL Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749

The Praise of Sion Waits for Thee

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The praise of Sion waits for Thee, My God, and praise becomes Thy house; There shall Thy saints Thy glory see, And there perform their public vows. 2. O Thou whose mercy bends the skies To save when humble sinners pray, All lands to Thee shall lift their eyes, And islands of the northern sea. 3. Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away their stain; The blood of Christ shall never fail To wash my garments white again. 4. Blessed is the man whom Thou shalt choose, And give him kind access to Thee; Give him a place within Thy house, To taste Thy love divinely free. 5. Let Babel fear when Sion prays; Babel, prepare for long distress, When Sion’s God Himself arrays In terror and in righteousness. 6. With dreadful glory God fulfills What His afflicted saints request; And with almighty wrath reveals His love, to give His churches rest. 7. Then shall the flocking nations run To Sion’s hill, and own their Lord; The rising and the setting sun Shall see the Savior’s name adored.

A thousand freemen rally, And swell the mighty strain. 3.

To us a Child of Hope is born, To us a Son is given, Him shall the tribes of earth obey, Him all the hosts of heaven. 5.

Schmücke Dich, O Liebe Seele

Author: Johann Franck Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Schmücke dich, O liebe Seele, Laß die dunkle Sündenhöhle, Komm ans helle Licht gegangen, Fange herrlich an zu prangen! Denn der Herr, voll Heil und Gnaden, Will dich jetzt zu Gaste laden; Der den Himmel kann verwalten, Will jetzt Herberg’ in dir halten. 2 Eile, wie Verlobte pflegen, Deinem Bräutigam entgegen, Der da mit dem Gnadenhammer Klopft an deine Herzenskammer! Öffn’ ihm bald des Geistes Pforten, Red ihn an mit schönen Worten: Komm, mein Liebster, laß dich küßen, Laß mich deiner nicht mehr mißen! 3 Zwar in Kaufung teurer Waren Pflegt man sonst kein Geld zu sparen; Aber du willst für die Gaben Deiner Huld kein Geld nicht haben, Weil in allen Bergwerksgründen Kein solch Kleinod ist zu finden, Das die blutgefüllten Schalen Und dies Manna kann bezahlen. 4 Ach, wie hungert mein Gemüte, Menschenfreund, nach deiner Güte! Ach, wie pfleg’ ich oft mit Tränen Mich nach dieser Kost zu sehnen! Ach, wie pfleget mich zu dürsten Nach dem Trank des Lebensfürsten! Wünsche stets, daß mein Gebeine Sich durch Gott mit Gott vereine. 5 Beides Lachen und auch Zittern Läßet sich in mir jetzt wittern; Das Geheimnis dieser Speise Und die unerforschte Weise Machet, daß ich früh vermerke, Herr, die Größe deiner Werke. Ist auch wohl ein Mensch zu finden, Der dein’ Allmacht sollt’ ergründen? 6 Nein, Vernunft, die muß hier weichen, Kann dies Wunder nicht erreichen, Daß dies Brot nie wird verzehret, Ob es gleich viel Tausen’ nähret, Und daß mit dem Saft der Reben Uns wird Christi Blut gegeben. O der großen Heimlichkeiten, Die nur Gottes Geist kann deuten! 7 Jesu, meines Lebens Sonne, Jesu, mein Freud’ und Wonne, Jesu, du mein ganz Beginnen, Lebensquell und Licht der Sinnen, Hier fall’ ich zu deinen Füßen; Laß mich würdiglich genießen Dieser deiner Himmelsspeise Mir zum Heil und dir zum Preise! 8 Herr, es hat dein treues Lieben Dich vom Himmel hergetrieben, Daß du willig hast dein Leben In den Tod für uns gegeben Und dazu ganz unverdroßen, Herr, dein Blut für uns vergoßen, Das uns jetzt kann kräftig tränken, Deiner Liebe zu gedenken. 9 Jesu, wahres Brot des Lebens, Hilf, daß ich doch nicht vergebens Oder mir vielleicht zum Schaden Sei zu deinem Tisch geladen! Laß mich durch dies Seelenessen Deine Liebe recht ermessen, Daß ich auch, wie jetzt auf Erden, Mög’ dein Gast im Himmel werden! Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH

Al Trono Majestuoso

El es el ser supremo, De todo es el Señor, Y nada al fin resiste A Dios el Hacedor. 2 Del polvo de la tierra Su mano nos formó, Y nos donó la vida Su aliento creador; Después, al vernos ciegos, Caídos en error, Cual padre al hijo amado Salud nos proveyó. 3 La gratitud sincera Nos dictará el cantar, Y en tiernos dulces sones Al cielo subirá; Con los celestes himnos Cantados a Jehová, La armónica alabanza Doquier resonará. 4 Señor, a tu Palabra Sujeto el mundo está, Y del mortal perecen La astucia y la maldad; Después de haber cesado Los siglos de correr, Tu amor, verdad y gloria Han de permanecer.
