All Mortal Vanities, Begone
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. All mortal vanities, begone,
Nor tempt my eyes, nor tire my ears;
Behold, amidst th’eternal throne,
A vision of the Lamb appears.
2. Glory His fleecy robe adorns,
Marked with the bloody death He bore;
Seven are His eyes, and seven His horns,
To speak His wisdom and His power.
3. Lo! He receives a sealèd book
From Him that sits upon the throne;
Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look
On dark decrees and things unknown.
4. All the assembling saints around
Fall worshipping before the Lamb,
And in new songs of Gospel sound
Address their honors to His name.
5. The joy, the shout, the harmony,
Flies o’er the everlasting hills
Worthy art Thou alone, they cry,
To read the book, to loose the seals.
6. Our voices join the heav’nly strain,
And with transporting pleasure sing,
Worthy the Lamb that once was slain,
To be our Teacher and our King!
7. His words of prophecy reveal
Eternal counsels, deep designs;
His grace and vengeance shall fulfill
The peaceful and the dreadful lines.
8. Thou hast redeemed our souls from hell
With Thine invaluable blood;
And wretches that did once rebel
Are now made favorites of their God.
9. Worthy forever is the Lord,
That died for treasons not His own,
By every tongue to be adored,
And dwell upon His Father’s throne! Used With Tune: CROMER Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book I, 1707, number 25.

O Christ, Our King, Creator, Lord
Author: Gregory I, 540-604; Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. O Christ, our King, Creator, Lord,
Savior of all who trust Thy Word,
To them who seek Thee ever near,
Now to our praises bend Thine ear.
2. In Thy dear cross a grace is found,
It flows from every streaming wound,
Whose power our inbred sin controls,
Breaks the firm bond, and frees our souls.
3. Thou didst create the stars of night,
Yet Thou hast veiled in flesh Thy light,
Hast deigned a mortal form to wear,
A mortal’s painful lot to bear.
4. When Thou didst hang upon the tree,
The quaking earth acknowledged Thee,
When Thou didst there yield up Thy breath
The world grew dark as shades of death.
5. Now in the Father’s glory high
Great Conqueror, never more to die,
Us by Thy mighty power defend,
And reign through ages without end. Used With Tune: CROMER

They stand before Jehovah’s throne;
The new song in that blessèd place
Is, Thou art worthy, Thou alone!

And branches of triumphal palm,
They shout, with transports of delight,
Heaven’s ceaseless, universal psalm;
4. “Salvation’s glory all be paid
To Him who sits upon the throne,
And to the Lamb whose blood was shed:
Thou, Thou art worthy, Thou alone;
5. For Thou was slain, and in Thy blood
These robes were washed so spotless pure!
Thou mad’st us kings and priests to God:
For ever let Thy praise endure!
6. While thus the ransomed myriads shout,
Amen! the holy angels cry—
Amen! Amen! resounds throughout
The boundless regions of the sky. Used With Tune: CROMER

To God, the Universal King
Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. To God, the universal King,
Let all mankind their tribute bring;
All that have breath! your voices raise,
In songs of never ending praise.
2. The spacious earth on which we tread,
And wider heavens stretched o’er our head,
A large and solemn temple frame,
To celebrate its Builder’s fame.
3. Here the bright sun, that rules the day,
As through the sky he makes his way,
To all the world proclaims aloud
The boundless sovereignty of God.
4. When from his courts the sun retires,
And with the day his voice expires,
The moon and stars adopt the song,
And through the night the praise prolong.
5. The listening earth with rapture hears
Th’harmonious music of the spheres;
And all her tribes the notes repeat,
That God is wise, and good and great.
6. But man, endowed with nobler powers,
His God in nobler strains adores;
His is the gift to know the song,
As well as sing with tuneful tongue. Used With Tune: CROMER Text Sources: A Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors, by John Rippon, 1787

Who Shall the Lord's Elect Condemn?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 132 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Who shall the Lord’s elect condemn?
’Tis God that justifies their souls;
And mercy, like a mighty stream,
O’er all their sins divinely rolls.
2. Who shall adjudge the saints to hell?
’Tis Christ that suffered in their stead;
And, the salvation to fulfill,
Behold Him rising from the dead!
3. He lives! He lives and sits above,
For ever interceding there:
Who shall divide us from His love?
Or what should tempt us to despair?
4. Shall persecution, or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness?
He that hath loved us bears us through,
And makes us more than conquerors too.
5. Faith hath an overcoming power;
It triumphs in the dying hour:
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope,
Nor can we sink with such a prop.
6. Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below,
Shall cause His mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ our love. Used With Tune: CROMER Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-1709

O let the heart beat high with bliss
Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O let the heart beat high with bliss,
Yea, let it triumph at the sound
Of Jesus’ name, so sweet it is,
For every joy therein is found.
2 The name that comforteth in woe,
The name of Jesus healing sin,
The name that curbs the powers below
And drives away the death within:
3 The name that soundeth ever sweet
In speech or verse or holy song,
And bids us run with willing feet,
Consoled, and comforted, and strong.
4 Then let the name of Jesus ring
With lofty praise in every place;
Let heart and voice together sing--
That name shall every ill efface.
5 Ah! Jesus, health of sinful men,
Give ear unto our loving prayer;
Guide thou our wandering feet again,
And hold our doings in thy care.

Immortal honor be to thee;

And Holy Ghost eternally. Amen. Topics: The Naming of Jesus or The Circumcision of Christ January 1st; Office Hymn; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Used With Tune: CROMER Text Sources: Latin, 15th century
