The Lord in Zion Reigneth

The Lord in Zion Reigneth

Text written by Fanny J. Crosby (1826-1915)

Hymn tune composed by Hart P. Danks (1834-1903)

Revelation 19:6, 7 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

Revelation 21:24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

V. 1 The Lord in Zion reigneth,

Let all the world rejoice,

And come before His throne of grace

With tuneful heart and voice;

The Lord in Zion reigneth,

And there His praise shall ring,

To Him shall princes bend the knee

And kings their glory bring.

Psalm 95:4, 5 In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

V. 2 The Lord in Zion reigneth,

And who so great as He?

The depths of earth are in His hands;

He rules the mighty sea.

O crown His name with honor,

And let His standard wave,

Till distant isles beyond the deep

Shall own His power to save.

Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

V. 3 The Lord in Zion reigneth,

These hours to Him belong;

O enter now His temple gates,

And fill His courts with song;

Beneath His royal banner

Let every creature fall,

Exalt the King of heaven and earth,

And crown Him Lord of all.

O Worship the Lord

1 Chronicles 16:29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

Matthew 2:11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

V. 1 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,

Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;

With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,

Kneel and adore Him; the Lord is His name.

V. 2 Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness;

High on His heart He will bear it for thee,

Comfort thy sorrows and answer thy prayerfulness,

Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

V. 3 Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness

Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine.

Truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,

These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.

Psalm 30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime;

weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

V. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,

He will accept for the name that is dear;

Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,

Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

O Come, Let Us Sing to the Lord

O Come, Let Us Sing to the Lord

Text taken from "Scottish Psalter, 1650"

Sung to IRISH C. M., from "A Collection of Hymns and Sacred Poems," Dublin, 1749

Psalm 95:1-6 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.

For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

V. 1 O come, let us sing to the Lord,

Come let us every one

A joyful noise make to the Rock

Of our salvation.

V. 2 Let us before His presence come

With glad and thankful voice;

Let us sing psalms of praise to Him,

And make a joyful noise.

V. 3 For God, a great God and great King,

Above all gods, He is;

The depths of earth are in His hand,

The strength of hills is His.

V. 4 To Him the ocean vast belongs,

For He the sea did make;

The dry land also from His hands,

Its form at first did take.

V. 5 O come, bow down and worship Him,

And kneeling, humbly pray,

Come to our Maker and our God,

And hear His voice today.

O God, Our Help

O God, Our Help

Text written in 1719 by Isaac Watts

Sung to ST. ANNE, composed in 1708 by William Croft

Psalm 90:1-4 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.

Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”

A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by,

or like a watch in the night.

V. 1 O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home!

V. 2 Under the shadow of Thy throne

Still may we dwell secure;

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,

And our defense is sure.

V. 3 Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting Thou art God,

To endless years the same.

V. 4 A thousand ages, in Thy sight,

Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night,

Before the rising sun.

V. 5 O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come;

Be Thou our guide while life shall last,

And our eternal home!

We Would See Jesus

We Would See Jesus

Text written by Anna B. Warner (1820-1915)

Tune written by F. E. Belden (1858-1945)

Luke 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

John 12:21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 

V. 1 "We would see Jesus;" for the shadows lengthen

Across the little landscape of our life;

We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen

For the last conflict, in this mortal strife.

Psalm 89:26 He will call out to me, "You are my Father,

my God, the Rock my Savior."

V. 2 "We would see Jesus," Rock of our salvation,

Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace;

Not life, nor death, with all their agitation,

Can thence remove us, gazing on His face.

V. 3 "We would see Jesus;" other lights are paling,

Which for long years we did rejoice to see;

The blessings of this sinful world are failing;

We would not mourn them, in exchange for Thee.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 ...and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

V. 4 "We would see Jesus;" this is all we're needing--

Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;

We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading,

Soon to return and end this mortal night!

There's a Wideness

There's a Wideness

Text written in 1854 by Frederick W. Faber

Sung to the tune WELLESLEY, composed in 1877 by Lizzie S. Tourjee

Psalm 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;

love and faithfulness go before you.

V. 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy,

Like the wideness of the sea;

There's a kindness in His justice,

Which is more than liberty.

Luke 19:6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

V. 2 There is welcome for the sinner,

And more graces for the good;

There is mercy with the Savior;

There is healing in His blood.

Ephesians 3:17-19  And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

V. 3 For the love of God is broader

Than the measure of man's mind,

And the heart of the Eternal 

Is most wonderfully kind.

V. 4 If our love were but more simple,

We should take Him at His word;

And our lives would be all sunshine

In the sweetness of our Lord.

Psalm 88:9 My eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, Lord, every day; I spread out my hands to you.

John 6:68  Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."

V. 1 Father, I stretch my hands to Thee;

No other help I know;

If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,

Ah, whither shall I go?

V. 2 On Thy dear Son I now believe,

O let me feel Thy power;

And all my varied wants relieve,

In this accepted hour.

Hebrews 12:2 ...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

V. 3 Author of faith! to Thee I lift

My weary, longing eyes;

O let me now receive that gift;

My soul without it dies.

V. 4 Surely Thou canst not let me die;

O speak, and I shall live;

And here I will unwearied lie,

Till Thou Thy Spirit give.

V. 5 How would my fainting soul rejoice

Could I but see Thy face!

Now let me hear Thy quickening voice,

And taste Thy pardoning grace.

Acts 8:37 Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.”And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

V. 6 I do believe, I now believe

That Jesus died for me,

And that He shed His precious blood

From sin to set me free.

V. 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds

Both flower and flaming star,

To whom there is no here nor there,

No time, no near nor far,

No alien race, no foreign shore,

No child unsought, unknown:

O send us forth, Your prophets true,

To make all lands Your own!

James 3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy. 

V. 2 O God of truth, whom science seeks

And reverent souls adore,

Illumine every earnest mind

Of every clime and shore:

Dispel the gloom of error's night,

Of ignorance and fear,

Until true wisdom from above

Shall make life's pathway clear!

Psalm 29:2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due His name; worship Yahweh in the splendor of His holiness.

V. 3 O God of beauty, oft revealed

In dreams of human art,

In speech that flows to melody,

In holiness of heart:

Teach us to ban all ugliness,

And all disharmony,

Till all shall know the loveliness

Of lives made fair and free!

John 4:34 “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work,” Jesus told them. 

John 14:9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time without your knowing Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?"

V. 4 O God of righteousness and grace,

Seen in the Christ, Your Son,

Whose life and death reveal Your face,

By whom Your will as done;

Help us to spread Your gracious reign

Till greed and hate shall cease,

And kindness dwell in human hearts,

And all the earth find peace!

All Things Bright & Beautiful

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Text written in 1848 by Cecil F. Alexander

John Rutter's alternate tune, which is absolutely lovely...

John 1:3 All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.

V. 1 All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

Matthew 6:26, 30 Look at the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they? If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won’t He do much more for you — you of little faith?

V. 2 Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings;

He made their glowing colors,

He made their tiny wings.

Genesis 8:22 As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.

V. 3 The purpleheaded mountain,

The river running by,

The sunset, and the morning

That brightens up the sky,

V. 4 The cold wind in the winter,

The pleasant summer sun,

The ripe fruits in the garden,

He made them every one.

Mark 7:37 They were extremely astonished and said, “He has done everything well! He even makes deaf people hear, and people unable to speak, talk! ”

V. 5 He gave us eyes to see them.

And lips that we might tell

How great is God Almighty,

Who has made all things well.

Psalm 87:3 Glorious things are said about you, city of God. Selah

Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the forces of Hades will not overpower it. 

V. 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,

Zion, city of our God;

He whose word cannot be broken

Formed thee for His own abode;

On the Rock of Ages founded,

What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's wall surrounded,

Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

Revelation 22:1 Then he showed me the river of living water, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb....

V. 2 See the streams of living waters

Springing from eternal love,

Well supply thy sons and daughters,

And all fear and want remove;

Who can faint when such a river

Ever flows their thirst to assuage?

Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver,

Never fails from age to age.

Exodus 13:21 The Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to lead them on their way during the day and in a pillar of fire to give them light at night, so that they could travel day or night.

Revelation 5:10 You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.

V. 3 Round each habitation hovering,

See the cloud and fire appear

For a glory and a covering,

Showing that the Lord is near;

Blest inhabitants of Zion, 

Washed in the Redeemer's blood;

Jesus, whom their souls rely on ,

Makes them kings and priests to God.

Psalm 105:3 Honor His holy name; 

let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

1 John 2:17 And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does God’s will remains forever.

V. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city 

I, through grace, a member am,

Let the world deride or pity,

I will glory in Thy name;

Fading is the worldling's pleasure,

All his boasted pomp and show;

Solid joys and lasting treasure

None but Zion's children know.

One staff and one rod,

One fold and one God,

My Shepherd, I follow Thee.
