Alleluia, sing to Jesus!

Author: William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 214 hymnals Topics: Christ Risen Ascension; Christian Year Ascension; Holy Communion; Jesus priesthood; Salvation and Redemption Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! his the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia, his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: 'Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.' 2 Alleluia, not as orphans 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 flee 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, Lord omnipotent we own; alleluia, born of Mary, earth your footstool, heaven your throne. As within the veil you entered, robed in flesh, our great high priest, here on earth both priest and victim in the eucharistic feast. 5 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! his the sceptre, his the throne; alleluia, his the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: 'Jesus, out of every nation, hath redeemed us by his blood.' Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:15 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

I loved the garish day; and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy pow'r has blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. 4 Meantime, along the narrow rugged path, Thyself hast trod, Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith, Home to my God, To rest forever after earthly strife In the calm light of ever lasting life.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide thee, Naught I ask beside thee. 2 In thine arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Lightnings flash and thunders crash; Yet, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy thee; Death, I now decry thee; Fear, I bid thee cease. World, thou shalt not harm me Nor thy threats alarm me While I sing of peace. God's great pow'r guards ev'ry hour; Earth and all its depths adore him, Silent bow before him. 4 Hence with earthly treasure! Thou art all my pleasure, Jesus, all my choice. Hence, thou empty glory! Naught to me thy story, Told with tempting voice. Pain or loss or shame or cross Shall not from my Saviour move me, Since he deigns to love me. 5 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Thou art still my purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure. Amen. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7 Used With Tune: LINDEMAN
