Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers
Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Sarah B. Findlater Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 334 hymnals Topics: Christ As Bridegroom; Christ Second Coming and the Last Judgment of; Heaven Redeemed in; Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers,
and let your lights appear!
The evening is advancing,
and darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising
and soon he will draw nigh;
up, watch in expectation!
At midnight comes the cry.
2 See that your lamps are burning,
replenish them with oil;
and wait for your salvation,
the end of earthly toil.
The watchers on the mountain
proclaim the Bridegroom near;
meet him as he approaches,
with alleluias clear.
3 You saints, who here in patience
your cross and suff'rings bore,
shall live and reign forever,
when sorrow is no more:
around the throne of glory
the Lamb you shall behold,
in triumph cast before him
your alleluias clear.
4 Our hope and expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
arise, O Sun so longed for,
above the darkened sphere.
With hearts and hands uplifted,
we plead, O Lord, to see
the day of earth's redemption
that sets your people free!
Scripture: Matthew 25:6 Used With Tune: GREENLAND

When, His salvation bringing
Author: J. King, 1798-1858 Appears in 421 hymnals Topics: Christ Redeemer Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing,
To Zion Jesus came,
The children all stood singing
Hosanna to His name;
Nor did their zeal offend Him,
But, as He rode along,
He let them still attend Him,
And smiled to hear their song.
2 And since the Lord retaineth
His love to children still,
Though now as King He reigneth
On Zion's heavenly hill,
We'll flock around His standard,
We'll bow before His throne,
And cry aloud, "Hosanna
To David's royal Son."
3 For should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer's praise,
The stones, our silence shaming,
Would their hosannas raise.
But shall we only render
The tribute of our words?
No; while our hearts are tender,
They too shall be the Lord's. Used With Tune: TOURS

That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am 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 The Lord has promised good to me;
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
4 Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
5 When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun. Used With Tune: AMAZING GRACE

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays
Author: M. Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,053 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Our Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays
And sing Thy great Redeemer’s praise;
He justly claims a song from thee,
His lovingkindness, O how free!
2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me notwithstanding all;
And saved me from my lost estate,
His lovingkindness, O how great!
3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes;
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along.
His lovingkindness, O how strong!
4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His lovingkindness, O how good!
5 Often I feel my sinful heart,
Prone from my Savior to depart;
But though I oft have Him forgot,
His lovingkindness changes not.
6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,
Soon all my mortal powers must fail;
O may my last expiring breath
His lovingkindness praise in death.

Creator of the starry height

Thy people's everlasting light,
Jesus, Redeemer of us all,
Hear Thou Thy servants when they call.

Of all creation doomed to die,
didst save our lost and guilty race,
By healing gifts of heavenly grace.

From common stain of common sin;
Proceeding from a virgin shrine
The spotless victim all divine.
4 At Thy great name, exalted now,
All knees in lowly homage bow;
All things in heaven and earth adore,
And own thee King for evermore.
5 To Thee, O holy One, we pray,
Our Judge in that tremendous day,
Ward off, while yet we dwell below,
The weapons of our crafty foe.
6 To God the Father, God the Son
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally. Used With Tune: [Creator of the starry height] Text Sources: Latin, 10th Century

We at his feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all.

Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti, 1830-1894 Meter: 8.10.10.4 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ The Only Mediator and Redeemer Lyrics: 1 None other Lamb, none other Name,
None other Hope in heav'n or earth or sea,
None other Hiding place from guilt and shame,
None beside thee!
2 My faith burns low, my hope burns low;
Only my heart's desire cries out in me
By the deep thunder of its want and woe,
Cries out to thee.
3 Lord, thou art Life, though I be dead;
Love's fire thou art, however cold I be:
Nor heav'n have I, nor place to lay my head,
Nor home, but thee.

Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heav'n affords
Is his, is his by right,
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heav'n's eternal Light:
3 The Joy of all who dwell above,
The Joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his Name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is giv'n;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heav'n.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to him;
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.
Amen. Scripture: Acts 2:26 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS
