hearts to heav'n and voices raise; sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise: he who on the cross a victim for the world's salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, now is risen from the dead. 2. Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits of the holy harvest field, which will all its full abundance at his second coming yield; then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before him wave, ripened by his glorious sunshine, from the furrows of the grave. 3. Christ is risen, we are risen; shed upon us heav'nly grace, rain, and dew, and gleams of glory from the brightness of thy face; that we, with our hearts in heaven, here on earth may fruitful be, and by angel-hands be gathered, and be ever, Lord, with thee. 4. Alleluia, alleluia, glory be to God on high; alleluia to the Saviour, who has gained the victory; alleluia to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity; alleluia, alleluia, to the Triune Majesty. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
1. Alleluia, sing to Jesus, his the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia, his the triumph, his the victory alone: hark, the songs of peaceful Sion thunder like a mighty flood: Jesus, out of ev'ry nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.
are we left in sorrow now; alleluia, he is near us, faith believes, nor questions how; though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, `I am with you evermore'? 3. Alleluia, bread of angels, here on earth our food, our stay; alleluia, here the sinful come to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's redeemer, plead for me, where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea. 4. Alleluia, King eternal, lie the Lord of, lords we own; alleluia, born of Mary, earth his footstool, heav'n his throne; he within the veil has entered robed in flesh, our great High Priest; he on earth both priest and victim in the Eucharistic Feast. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
This our song shall ever be; for we have no hope nor Saviour if we have not hope in thee. 2. All for Jesus! thou wilt give us strength to serve thee hour by hour; none can move us from thy presence while we trust thy love and pow'r. 3. All for Jesus! at thine altar thou doss give us sweet content; there, dear Saviour, we receive thee in thy holy sacrament. 4. All for Jesus! thou hast loved us, all for Jesus! thou hast died, all for Jesus! thou art with us, all for Jesus, glorified! 5. All for Jesus! All for Jesus! This the Church's song shall be, till at last the flock is gathered one in love, and one in thee. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
thou David's royal Son, Who in the Lord's name comest, the King and blessed one. 2. The company of angels are praising thee on high, and mortals, joined with all things, created, make reply. 3. The people of the Hebrews with palms before thee went: our praise and prayer and anthems before thee we present. 4. To thee before thy passion they sang their hymns of praise: to thee now high exalted our melody we raise. 5. Thou didst accept their praises, accept the prayers we bring, who in all good delightest, thou good and gracious king. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
his praise shall be our battle cry, he reigns victorious, for ever glorious, his name is Jesus, he is the Lord. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
let angels prostrate fall; bring forth the royal diadem
who from his altar call; praise him whose way of pain you trod,
in matters great and small, Who made his voice of justice heard,
who heard your Saviour's call, now robed in light before his face,
who heard the freedom call, in liberation, see Christ's face,
to him their heart enthral: lift high the universal song

Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord? For ever he will be the Lamb upon the throne. and worship him alone. 2. I will proclaim the glory of the risen Lord. Who once was slain to reconcile us all to God. For ever you will be the Lamb upon the throne. I gladly bow the knee and worship you alone. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
before the break of day, an angel came from heaven and rolled the stone away. When Jesus' friends came seeking, with myrrh and spices rare, they found the angels at the door, but Jesus was not there. 2. All in an Easter garden, where water lilies bloom, the angels gave their message beside an empty tomb: `The Lord is here no longer, come, see where once he lay; the Lord of life is ris'n indeed, for this is Easter day.' _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
all this world reveres, and wars to own, all I once thought gain I have counted loss; spent and worthless now, compared to this. Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you, there is no greater thing. You're my all, you're the best, you're my joy, my righteousness, and I love you, Lord. 2. Now my heart's desire is to know you more, to be found in you and known as yours. To possess by faith what I could not earn, all-surpassing gift of righteousness. 3. Oh, to know the pow'r of your risen life, and to know you in your sufferings. To become like you in your death, my Lord, so with you to live and never die. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. 2. Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tow'r and temple, fall to dust. But God's pow'r, hour by hour, is my temple and my tow'r. 3. God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore, from his store, new-born worlds rise and adore. 4. Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
angels watchin' over me, my Lord. Sleep, my child, and take your rest, angels watchin' over me. 2. Now I lay me down to sleep, angels watchin' over me, my Lord. Pray the Lord my soul to keep, angels watchin' over me. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
all over the world, as the prophets said it would be. All over the world there's a mighty revelation of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, come ye before him and rejoice. 2. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, without our aid he did us make; we are his folk, he doth us feed and for his sheep he doth us take. 3. O enter then his gates with praise, approach with joy his courts unto; praise, laud and bless his name always, for it is seemly so to do. 4. For why? the Lord our God is good: his mercy is for ever sure; his truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure. 5. To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the God whom heav'n and earth adore, from us and from the angel-host be praise and glory evermore. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
who joins us by his grace, and bids us, each to each restored, together seek his face. 2. He bids us build each other up; and, gathered into one, to our high calling's glorious hope we hand in hand go on. 3. The gift which he on one bestows, we all delight to prove; the grace through every vessel flows, in purest streams of love. 4. Ev'n now we think and speak the same, and cordially agree; concentred all, through Jesu's name, in perfect harmony. 5. We all partake the joy of one, the common peace we feel, a peace to sensual minds unknown, a joy unspeakable. 6. And if our fellowship below in Jesus be so sweet, what heights of rapture shall we know when round his throne we meet! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
all that I'll ever have, I offer now to you. Take and sanctify these gifts for your honour, Lord. Knowing that I love and serve you is enough reward. All that I am, all that I do, all that I'll ever have, I offer now to you. 2. All that I dream, all that I pray, all that I'll ever make I give to you today. Take and sanctify these gifts for your honour, Lord. Knowing that I love and serve you is enough reward. All that I am, all that I do, all that I'll ever have, I offer now to you. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
Moon and stars, praise the Lord, alleluia. 2. Snow-capped mountains, praise the Lord, alleluia. Rolling hills, praise the Lord, alleluia. 3. Deep sea water, praise the Lord, alleluia. Gentle rain, praise the Lord, alleluia. 4. Roaring lion, praise the Lord, alleluia. Singing birds, praise the Lord, alleluia. 5. Earthly monarchs, praise the Lord, alleluia. Young and old, praise the Lord, alleluia. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
each little bird that sings, he made their glowing colours, he made their tiny wings. 2. The purple-headed mountain, the river running by, the sunset and the morning that brightens up the sky. 3. The cold wind in the winter, the pleasant summer sun, the ripe fruits in the garden, he made them every one. 4. The tall trees in the greenwood, the meadows for our play, the rushes by the water, to gather ev'ry day. 5. He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell how great is God Almighty, who has made all things well. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
'gainst all disaster, let them in constancy follow their Master. There's no discouragement shall make them once relent the first avowed intent to be a pilgrim. 2. Those who beset them round with dismal stories, do but themselves confound – their strength the more is. No foe(s) shall stay their might, though they with giants fight: they will make good the right to be a pilgrim. 3. Since, Lord, thou doss defend us with thy Spirit, we know we at the end shall life inherit. Then fancies flee away, we'll fear not what they say, we'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
in trouble and distress, whatever sorrow vex the mind, or guilt the soul oppress. 2. Jesus, who gave himself for you upon the cross to die, opens to you his sacred heart; O, to that heart draw nigh. 3. You hear how kindly he invites; you hear his words so blest: All you that labour, come to me, and I will give you rest.' 4. What meeker than the Saviour's heart? As on the cross he lay, it did his murderers forgive, and for their pardon pray. 5. Jesus, the joy of saints on high, the hope of sinners here, attracted by those loving words to you I lift my prayer. 6. Wash then my wounds in that dear blood which forth from you does flow; by grace a better hope inspire, and risen life bestow. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
like none who lived before, for he alone from first to last our flesh unsullied wore; a perfect life of perfect deeds once to the world was shown, that people all might mark his steps and in them plant their own. 2. A man there died on Calvary above all others brave; the human race he saved and blessed, himself he scorned to save. No thought can gauge the weight of woe on him, the sinless, laid; we only know that with his blood our ransom price was paid. 3. A man there reigns in glory now, divine, yet human still; that human which is all divine death sought in vain to kill. All pow'r is his; supreme he rules the realms of time and space; yet still our human cares and needs find in his heart a place. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found; was blind, but now I see. 2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. 3. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come. 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 4. The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 5. When we've been there a thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
an int'rest in the Saviour's blood? Died he for me, who caused his pain? For me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? 2. 'Tis myst'ry all! th'Immortal dies: who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine! 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds inquire no more. 3. He left his Father's throne above so free, so infinite his grace; emptied himself of abut love, and bled for Adam's helpless race; 'tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God, it found out me. 4. Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night; thine eye diffused a quickening ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 5. No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine! Alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God on England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here among those dark satanic mills? 2. Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, till we have built Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
that bought us, once for all, on Calv'ry's tree, and having with us him that pleads above, we here present, we here spread forth to thee that only off’ring perfect in thine eyes, the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice. 2. Look, Father, look on his anointed face, and only look on us as found in him; look not on our misusings of thy grace, our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim: for lo, between our sins and their reward we set the Passion of thy Son our Lord. 3. And then for those, our dearest and our best, by this prevailing presence we appeal: O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast, O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal; from tainting mischief keep them pure and clear, and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere. 4. And so we come: O draw us to thy feet, most patient Saviour, who canst love us still; and by this food, so aweful and so sweet, deliver us from every touch of ill: in thine own service make us glad and free, and grant us never more to part with thee. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
that you are my disciples if you have love one for another. (Repeat)
if you do what I command you. Without my help you can do nothing. (Repeat)
my Father is the gard'ner. Abide in me: I will be with you. (Repeat)
not arrogant nor boastful; love bears all things, love is eternal. (Repeat) _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 35 James Montgomery (1771-1854) Yüklə 4,64 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
