Alphabetical first lines of hymns or Christian songs.

[rebornfree]

I know we've done this before, but how about an alphabetical list of the first line (or sentence, if it makes more sense) of hymns or worship songs?

I'll start with:

And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Saviour's blood?

 

[davedajobauk]

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

 

[rebornfree]

Crown Him with many crowns

 

[faithinlife]

Dare to be a Daniel

Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known.

 

[rebornfree]

Eternal Father, strong to save

 

[faithinlife]

Faith is the Victory

Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise.
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies.

 

[davedajobauk]

Go forth to life, O child of earth!
Still mindful of thy heav’nly birth;
Thou art not here for ease, or sin,
But manhood’s noble crown to win.

 

[faithinlife]

He Went About Doing Good

When our Lord was here, Our Savior dear,
He gladdened each neighborhood;
For the Bible tells, The message spells,
"He went about doing good."

 

[rebornfree]

In the bleak midwinter.

 

[frogalone]

Just as I am without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me.

 

[faithinlife]

Kneel at the Cross

Kneel at the cross,
Christ will meet you there,
Come while He waits for you;
List to His voice,
Leave with Him your care,
And begin life anew.

 

[davedajobauk]

Let sighing cease and woe



Let sighing cease and woe
God from on high hath heard,
Heaven’s gate is opening wide, and lo!
The long expected Word.





remainder--¬v







Peace! through the deep of night
The heavenly choir breaks forth,
Singing, with festal songs and bright,
Our God and Savior’s birth.

The cave of Bethlehem
Those wakeful shepherds seek;
Let us too rise and greet with them
That infant pure and meek.

We enter at the door
What marvel meets the eye?
A crib, a mother pale and poor,
A child of poverty.

Art Thou the eternal Son,
The eternal Father’s ray?
Whose little hand, Thou infant one,
Doth lift the world alway?

Yea faith through that dim cloud,
Like lightning darts before,
And greets Thee, at Whose footstool bowed
Heaven’s trembling hosts adore.

Chaste be our love like Thine,
Our swelling souls bring low,
And in our hearts, O Babe divine
Be born, abide and grow.

So shall Thy birthday morn,
Lord Christ, our birthday be,
Then greet we all, ourselves newborn,
Our King’s nativity.

 

[rebornfree]

Majesty, worship His majesty!
Unto Jesus be glory, honour and praise.

 

[faithinlife]

Nothing is Impossible

Nothing is impossible when you put your trust in God;
Nothing is impossible when you're trusting in His Word.
Hearken to the voice of God to thee;
"Is there anything too hard to Me?"
Then put your trust in God alone and rest upon His Word;
For ev'rything, O, ev'rything, yes ev'rything is possible with God.

 

[faithinlife]

Old Time Religion

Give me that old time religion
give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me.

 

[bbbbbbb]

Praise Him!

Praise Him, praise Him—Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer,
Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim.
Hail Him! hail Him! highest archangels in glory;
Strength and honor give to His holy name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children,
In His arms He carries them all day long:
O ye saints that dwell on the mountain of Zion,
Praise Him, praise Him ever in joyful song.

Praise Him, praise Him—Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer,
For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died;
He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
Hail Him, hail Him, Jesus the Crucified.
Loving Savior, meekly enduring sorrow,
Crowned with thorns that cruelly pierced His brow;
Once for us rejected, despised and forsaken,
Prince of Glory, He is triumphant now.

Praise Him, praise Him—Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer,
Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring,
Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever.
Crown Him! Crown Him—Prophet, and Priest, and King!
Death is vanquished! Tell it with joy, ye faithful.
Where is now thy victory, boasting grave?
Jesus lives! No longer thy portals are cheerless;
Jesus lives, the mighty and strong to save.

I'm not sure if there are any "Qs", so I'll go onto "R"

Rejoice, The Lord is King

 

[bbbbbbb]

Here is a Q - Quiet, Lord, My Froward Heart

Quiet, Lord, my froward heart,
Make me teachable and mild,
Upright, simple, free from art,
Make me as a weanèd child:
From distrust and envy free,
Pleased with all that pleases Thee.


What Thou shalt today provide,
Let me as a child receive;
What tomorrow may betide,
Calmly to Thy wisdom leave:
’Tis enough that Thou wilt care,
Why should I the burden bear?


As a little child relies
On a care beyond his own;
Knows he’s neither strong nor wise,
Fears to stir a step alone:
Let me thus with Thee abide,
As my father, guard, and guide.


Thus preserved from Satan’s wiles,
Safe from dangers, free from fears;
May I live upon Thy smiles,
Till the promised hour appears;
When the sons of God shall prove
All their Father’s boundless love.

 

[rebornfree]

Thanks bbbbbb! I've not heard that one, but what beautiful words.

I'll continue with "S".

Swing low, sweet chariot.

Ten Thousand Angels

They bound the hands of Jesus in the garden where He prayed;
They led Him thro' the streets in shame.
They spat upon the Savior so pure and free from sin;
They said, "Crucify Him; He's to blame."

• Chorus
  He could have called ten thousand angels
  To destroy the world and set Him free.
  He could have called ten thousand angels,
  But He died alone, for you and me.
