Author: A. A. Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #521 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Parting Hymn Lyrics: 1 When shall we all meet again? When shall we all meet again? Oft shall glowing hope expire, Oft shall wearied love retire, Oft shall death and sorrow reign, Ere we all shall meet again. 2 Though on foreign shore we sigh, Far remote our native sky; Though the depth between us roll, Hope shall anchor there our soul, And in faith's well-known domain, Within the vail, we'll meet again. 3 When the dreams of life are fled, When its wasted lamps are dead, When in cold oblivion's shade Beauty, wealth, and fame are laid, Where immortal spirits reign, Thither soar, to meet again!

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #528 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; A Hymn for the Sabbath Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing; To show thy love by morning light, And talk of all thy truth at night. 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest; No mortal cares should seize my breast; Oh, may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp, of solemn sound. 3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word; Thy works of grace, how bright they shine! How deep thy counsels! how divine! 4 Lord, I shall share a glorious part When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head. 5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy. Scripture: Psalm 52:9

Great was the day, the joy was great

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #528 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Great was the day, the joy was great, When the divine disciples met; While on their heads the Spirit came, And sat like tongues of cloven flame. 2 What gifts, what miracles he gave! And pow'r to kill, and pow'r to save! Furnish'd their tongues with wondrous words, Instead of shields, and spears, and swords. 3 Nations, the learned and the rude, Were by these heav'nly arms subdu'd, The heathens saw thy glory, Lord! And, wond'ring, bless'd thy gracious word. 4 Come the great day, the glorious hour, When all shall feel thy saving pow'r, And the whole race of man confess The beauty of thy holiness!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #529 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign, where'er the sun Does his successive journies run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 People and realms of ev'ry tongue Dwell on his love with grateful song; And with united hearts proclaim That grace and truth by Jesus came. 3 Blessings abound where'er he reigns: The pris'ner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all who suffer want are blest. 4 Where he displays his healing pow'r; The sting of death is known no more: In him the sons of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost.

Hark! the song of Jubilee

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #530 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Hark! the song of Jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fullness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore:-- Hallelujah! for the Lord, God omnipotent, shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound, From the depths unto the skies, Wakes above, beneath, around All creation's harmonies;-- See Jehovah's banner furl'd, Sheath'd his sword: he speaks--'tis done; And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of his Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway; He shall reign, when like a scroll Yonder heav'ns have pass'd away:-- Then the end;--beneath his rod Man's last enemy shall fall; Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ is all in all. Scripture: Revelation 14:2

Hark! what triumphant strains are these

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #531 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Hark! what triumphant strains are these, Which echo through the vault of heaven? "To Jesus once on Calvary slain, The kingdoms of the earth are given." 2 Hark! the new song before the throne, Which only the redeem'd can raise; Angels may tune their golden harps, But cannot reach these notes of praise. 3 They worship our exalted Lord, And hail him universal King; But saints--the purchase of his blood, Can strike a sweeter, nobler string. 4 The wonders of his dying love. Their hallelujahs loud proclaim, While with extatic joy they shout New honours to his sacred name. 5 From every kindred, every tongue, From barbarous nations long unknown, From polish'd Greeks and Scythians rude, A countless host surround the throne. 6 In robes of spotless white array'd, And palms of victory in their hand, With holy wonder and delight, The trophies of his grace they stand. 7 And still till time shall be mo more, The mighty concourse shall increase; And Jesus gain, in heathen lands, New subjects of the reign of peace. Scripture: Revelation 14:3
