Hark, the glad sound
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 First Line: Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long:
let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
and ev'ry 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 bless the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heav'n's eternal arches ring
with thy belovèd name. Topics: Advent; Year B Advent 3 Used With Tune: BRISTOL

Crown him with many crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894 Appears in 798 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne;
hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless king
through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Virgin's Son,
the God incarnate born,
whose arm those crimson trophies won
which now his brow adorn:
Fruit of the mystic Rose,
as of that Rose the Stem;
the Root whence mercy ever flows,
the Babe of Bethlehem.
3 Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
those wounds yet visible above
in beauty glorified:
no angel in the sky
can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends his burning eye
at mysteries so bright.
4 Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease,
and all be prayer and praise:
his reign shall know no end,
and round his piercèd feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
5 Crown him the Lord of years,
the Potentate of time,
creator of the rolling spheres,
ineffably sublime:
all hail, Redeemer, hail!
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity. Topics: Ascension Day; Easter VII Year B; Easter VII Year C; Proper 21 Year A; Christ the King Year A; Christ the King Year C Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 408 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor and meek and lowly
lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 For he is our childhood’s pattern,
day by day like us he grew;
he was little, weak, and helpless;
tears and smiles like us he knew;
and he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love,
for that Child, so dear and gentle,
is our Lord in heav'n above,
and he leads his children on
to the place where he has gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable
with the oxen standing by
we shall see him, but in heaven,
set at God’s right hand on high.
There his children gather round,
bright like stars, with glory crowned. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas; Christ's Example Used With Tune: IRBY

Join all the glorious names
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 336 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25 Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love, and power,
that ever mortals knew,
that angels ever bore:
all are too mean to speak his worth,
too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2 But O what gentle terms,
what condescending ways
doth our Redeemer use
to teach his heavenly grace!
Mine eyes with joy and wonder see
what forms of love he bears for me.
3 Arrayed in mortal flesh,
he like an Angel stands,
and holds his promises
and pardons in his hands;
commissioned from his Father's throne
to make his grace to mortals known.
4 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue would bless thy name;
by thee the joyful news
of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued and peace with heaven.
5 Be thou my Counsellor,
my Pattern, and my Guide;
and through this desert land
still keep me near thy side:
O let my feet ne'er run astray,
nor rove, nor seek the crooked way.
6 I love my Shepherd's voice,
his watchful eyes shall keep
my wandering soul among
the thousands of his sheep:
he feeds his flock, he calls their names
his bosom bears the tender lambs.
7 To this dear Surety's hand
will I commit my cause;
he answers and fulfils
his Father's broken laws:
behold my soul at freedom set!
my Surety paid the dreadful debt.
8 Jesus my great High-Priest
offered his blood and died;
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside:
his powerful blood did once atone
and now it pleads before the throne.
9 My Advocate appears
for my defence on high;
the Father bows his ear
and lays his thunder by:
not all that hell or sin can say
shall turn his heart, his love away.
10 My dear almighty Lord,
my Conqueror and my King,
thy sceptre and thy sword,
thy reigning grace I sing.
Thine is the power, behold I sit
in willing bonds before thy feet.
11 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down;
my Captain leads me forth
to conquest and a crown.
A feeble saint shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way.
12 Should all the hosts of death,
and powers of hell unknown,
put their most dreadful forms
of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
superior power, and guardian-grace.

Jesus, the name high over all
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 299 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the name high over all,
in hell, or earth, or sky;
angels and mortals prostrate fall,
and devils fear and fly,
and devils fear and fly.
2 Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
the name to sinners giv'n;
it scatters all their guilty fear,
it turns their hell to heaven,
it turns their hell to heaven.
3 Jesus, the pris'ner's fetters breaks,
and bruises Satan's head;
pow'r into strengthless souls he speaks,
and life into the dead,
and life into the dead.
4 O, that the world might taste and see
the riches of his grace!
The arms of love that compass me,
hold all the human race,
hold all the human race.
5 His only righteousness I show,
his saving truth proclaim;
'tis all my business here below
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'
6 Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp his name;
preach him to all, and cry in death:
'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
'Behold, behold the Lamb!' Topics: Easter; Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving; Year A Christ the King Used With Tune: LYDIA

our grateful hymns of praise.

make it a temple set apart
from earthly use for heaven's employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy:
so shall your sovereign enter in,
and new and nobler life begin.
To you, O God, be praise
for word, and deed, and grace.
5 Redeemer, come! With me abide,
my heart to you I open wide.
Let me your inner presence feel,
your grace and love in me reveal;
your Holy Spirit guide us on
until our glorious goal is won.
Eternal praise and fame
we offer to your name. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Advent; Christ tne King Sunday; City; Inner Peace; Jesus Christ Kingship; Joy; New Life in Christ; Personal Response to Jesus; Redemption Used With Tune: MACH NOCH DIE TÜR
