O for a shout of sacred joy
Appears in 207 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:9 Lyrics: 1 O for a Shout of sacred Joy
to God the sov'reign King!
Let ev'ry Land their Tongues employ,
and Hymns of Triumph sing.
2 Jesus, our God ascends on high;
his heav'nly Guards around
Attend him rising through the Sky,
with Trumpet's joyful Sound.
3 While Angels shout and praise their King,
let Mortals learn their Strains;
Let all the Earth his Honours sing;
o'er all the Earth he reigns.
4 Rehearse his Praise with Awe profound,
let Knowledge lead the Song;
Nor mock him with a solemn Sound
Upon a thoughtless Tongue.
5 In Isr'el stood his ancient Throne,
he lov'd that chosen Race;
But now he calls the World his own,
And Heathens taste his Grace.
6 The British Kingdoms are the Lord's,
there Abr'am's God is known,
While Pow'rs and Princes, Shields and Swords,
submit before his Throne.
O for a shout of sacred joy
See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:9 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph;
see the King in royal state,
riding on the clouds, his chariot,
to his heavenly palace gate.
Hark! the choirs of angel voices
joyful alleluias sing,
and the gates on high are opened
to receive their heavenly King.
2 He who on the cross did suffer,
he who from the grave arose,
he has vanquished sin and Satan,
he by death has spoiled his foes.
While he lifts his hands in blessing,
he is parted from his friends.
While their eager eyes behold him,
in the cloud the Lord ascends.
3 You have raised our human nature
on the clouds to God's right hand;
there we sit in heavenly places,
there with you in glory stand.
Jesus reigns, adored by angels;
man with God is on the throne!
Mighty Lord, in your ascension
we by faith can see our own.

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:1-11 Refrain First Line: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.

With grateful adoration!

Now on His Church His grace to pour,
And still His love He giveth;

May all within us upward tend
To Him who ever liveth!
