Pour out Thy Spirit from on high
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.

Let Thy life in mine appear;
And with actions brotherly
Speak my Lord’s sincerity.

Mighty so as to prevail
Where unaided man must fail;
Ever by a mighty hope,
Pressing on and bearing up.

Separate from sin, I would
Choose and cherish all things good,
And whatever I can be
Give to Him Who gave me Thee!

Shall I for Fear of Feeble Man
Author: Johann Joseph Winckler, 1670-1722; John Wesley, 1703-1791 Appears in 106 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:8 Lyrics: 1 Shall I for fear of feeble man,
The Spirit's course in me restrain?
Or undismayed in deed and word,
Be a true witness of my Lord?
Awed by a mortal's frown, shall I
Conceal the Word of God most high?
How then before Thee shall I dare
To stand, or how thine anger bear?
2 Shall I, to soothe the unholy throng,
Soften Thy truth, or smooth my tongue,
To gain earth's gilded toys, or flee
The cross, endured my Lord, by Thee?
What then, is he whose scorn I dread,
Whose wrath or hate makes me afraid?
A man! an heir of death! a slave
To sin! a bubble on the wave!
3 Yea, let men rage; since Thou wilt spread
Thy shadowing wings around my head;
And in all pain Thy tender love
Will still my sure refreshment prove.
Saviour of men, Thy searching eye
Does all my inmost thoughts descry;
Doth aught on earth my wishes raise,
Or the world's pleasures or its praise.
4 The love of Christ doth me constrain
To seek the perishing souls of men;
With cries, entreaties, tears to save—
To snatch them from a Christ-less grave.
For this let men revile my name;
No cross I shun, I fear no shame;
All hail, reproach; and welcome, pain;
Only Thy terrors, Lord, restrain.
5 My life, my blood, I here present,
If for Thy truth they may be spent,
Fulfil Thy sovereign counsel, Lord;
Thy will be done, Thy name adored.
Give me Thy strength, O God of power;
Then let winds blow, or thunders roar,
Thy faithful witness will I be;
'Tis fixed, I can do all through Thee. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Christian Life Witnessing, Speaking of Jesus Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR
