They praise thee still; and happy they that love the way To Sion’s hill. 3 They go from strength to strength through this dark vale of tears, till each arrives at length, till each in heaven appears: O glorious seat! when God our King, shall thither bring our willing feet.

For ever be adored That name in earth and sky, In which, though mortal strength may fail, The saints of God at last prevail. 2 O surely he was blest With blessedness unpriced, Who, taught of God, confessed The Godhead in the Christ; For of thy Church, Lord, thou didst own Thy saint a true foundation-stone. 3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored, The bitter lesson learnt, That heart for thee, O Lord, With triple ardor burnt. The cross he took he laid not down Until he grasped the martyr's crown. 4 O bright triumphant faith, O courage void of fears, O love most strong in death, O penitential tears! By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall, And make us go where thou shalt call. Topics: St. Peter; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

Let earth and heaven combine

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 183 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let earth and heaven combine, Angels and men agree, To praise in songs divine The incarnate Deity: To adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesus' Name. 2 Jesus! transporting sound! The joy of earth and heaven; No other help is found, No other name is given, By which we can salvation have; But Jesus came the world to save. 3 For me and all mankind The Lamb of God was slain: My Lord His life resigned For every soul of man: Loving to all, He none passed by, He would not have one sinner die. 4 O unexampled Love! O all-redeeming grace! How swiftly didst Thou move To save a fallen race! What shall I do to make it known, What Thou for all mankind hast done?
