'Twas in the Watches of the Night

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1. ’Twas in the watches of the night I thought upon Thy power, I kept Thy lovely face in sight amidst the darkest hour. My flesh lay resting on my bed, my soul arose on high: My God, my life my hope, I said, bring Thy salvation nigh. 2. My spirit labors up Thine hill, and climbs the heav’nly road; But Thy right hand upholds me still, while I pursue my God. Thy mercy stretches o’er my head the shadow of Thy wings; My heart rejoices in Thine aid, my tongue awakes and sings. 3. But the destroyers of my peace shall fret and rage in vain; The tempter shall for ever cease, and all my sins be slain. Thy sword shall give my foes to death, and send them down to dwell, In the dark caverns of the earth, or to the depths of hell. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

O Jesus, Crowned with All Renown

Author: Edward W. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Jesus, crowned with all renown, Since Thou the earth hast trod, Thou reignest, and by Thee come down Henceforth the gifts of God. Thine is the health and Thine the wealth That in our halls abound, And Thine the beauty and the joy With which the years are crowned. 2. Lord, in their change, let frost and heat, And winds and dews be giv’n; All fostering power, all influence sweet, Breathe from the bounteous Heav’n. Attemper fair with gentle air The sunshine and the rain, That kindly earth with timely birth May yield her fruits again. 3. That we may feed the poor aright, And gathering round Thy throne, Here, in the holy angels’ sight, Repay Thee of Thine own: That we may praise Thee all our days, And with the Father’s name, And with the Holy Spirit’s gifts, The Savior’s love proclaim.

No Tramp of Soldiers' Marching Feet

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: No tramp of solders' marching feet Lyrics: 1 No tramp of soldiers’ marching feet With banners and with drums, No sound of music’s martial beat: “The King of glory comes!” To greet what pomp of kingly pride No bells in triumph ring, No city gates swing open wide: “Behold, behold your King!” 2 And yet he comes. The children cheer; With palms his path is strown. With ev’ry step the cross draws near: The King of glory’s throne. Astride a colt he passes by As loud hosannas ring, Or else the very stones would cry: “Behold, behold your King!” 3 What fading flow’rs his road adorn; The palms, how soon laid down! No bloom or leaf but only thorn The King of glory’s crown. The soldiers mock, the rabble cries, The streets with tumult ring, As Pilate to the mob replies: “Behold, behold your King!” 4 Now he, who bore for mortals’ sake The cross and all its pains And chose a servant’s form to take, The King of glory reigns. Hosanna to the Savior’s Name Till heaven’s rafters ring, And all the ransomed host proclaim: “Behold, behold your King!” Topics: Palm Sunday Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Oft as the precious seed is sown, Thy quick'ning grace bestow That all whose souls the truth receive Its saving pow'r may know. Topics: Sexagesima Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
