[Rich48]

Jesus out of every nation has redeemed us by His blood.

 

[SarahBrownOwl]

Alleluia! not as orphans are we left in sorrow now,

 

[Rich48]

Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes, nor questions how;

 

[Konnie]

Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er.

 

[Rich48]

Shall our hearts forget His promise, “I am with you evermore”?

 

[Konnie]

Alleuia! Bread of angels, Thou on earth, our food our stay;

 

[Rich48]

Alleluia! here the sinful flee to Thee from day to day:

 

[Konnie]

Intercessor, Friend of sinners, Earth's redeemer, plead for me.

 

[Rich48]

Where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.

 

[Konnie]

Alleluia! King eternal, Thee the Lord of lords we own.

 

[Rich48]

Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth Thy footstool, Heav’n Thy throne:

 

[Konnie]

Thou within the veil has entered, robed in flesh our great High Priest;

 

[SarahBrownOwl]

Christ is made the sure Foundation,

Np-it has mainly been Konnie and me for a while, and we have been doing it the other way, but hey, if that's what the thread starter says, that's how we can do it BTW-I do not know this one at all-but that is why I like this tread-I learn "new" ones! I do know the tune that cyberhymnal uses as "Angels From The Realms Of Glory."

Binding all the Church in one,

 

[SarahBrownOwl]

Holy Zion's Help forever

(I know a different tune but I can't remember what it's called - I'll check my hymnbook on Sunday if I remember!)

 

[Rich48]

And her Confidence alone.

(if you know a different tune, go back to:
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/c/m/cmadesur.htm
and look before the lyrics for "Westminster Abbey" and click on that. This might well be the tune you know. If there is an alternate tune, you can usually find it on cyberhymnal.")
