a song! Let us sing on behalf of the saints, and bring delights to our Lord.

[kittystrawberry]

Jesus loves me, this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
they are weak, but he is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

 

[Leaf473]

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Edward Mote, ca.1834

 

[Leaf473]

Oh, That Birth Forever Blessed
When The Virgin, Full Of Grace,
By The Holy Ghost Conceiving,
Bore The Savior Of Our Race.

(Can be sung to the tune of Will The circle be unbroken.)

 

[Leaf473]

At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!

Second stanza of Onward Christian Soldiers

 

[Leaf473]

Of the Father's love begotten, ere the worlds began to be, he is Alpha and Omega, he the source, the ending he.

 

[Leaf473]

All praise to Him who reigns on high,
In majesty supreme,
Who gave His life for man to die,
That He might man redeem.

 

[Leaf473]

His name above all names shall stand,
Exalted more and more,
At God the Father’s own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore.

 

[Leaf473]

Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed o'er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save;
his glories now we sing
who died and rose on high,
who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.

 

[Leaf473]

He speaks, and, list’ning to His voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

(One of the lesser known verses of Oh for a Thousand tongues to Sing)

 

[Leaf473]

...because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death;
to guide our feet into the way of peace.

From the Canticle of Zachariah

 

[Leaf473]

His love my heart has captive made,
His captive would I be,
For He was bound, and scourged and died,
My captive soul to free.

(Lesser known verse from O for a thousand tongues to Sing)

 

[Leaf473]

I sing the mighty pow’r of God, that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey.

 

[Leaf473]

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

 

[Leaf473]

O tell of His might, oh, sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

 

[Leaf473]

Elect from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation—
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food;
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.

The Church's One Foundation

 

[Leaf473]

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

 

[Leaf473]

I never shall forget that day,
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
When Jesus washed my sins away,
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!

 

[Leaf473]

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

 

[Leaf473]

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow—
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

 

[Leaf473]

All praise to Him Who reigns above
In majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for man to die,
That He might man redeem!

Refrain:
Blessèd be the Name! Blessèd be the Name!
Blessèd be the Name of the Lord!
Blessèd be the Name! Blessèd be the Name!
Blessèd be the Name of the Lord!
