New Creation Hymn Book 121

John Newton, 1725–1807

1. Rejoice, believer, in the LordWho makes your cause His own:The hope that’s built upon His

wordCan ne’er be overthrown.

2. Though many foes beset yourroad,

And feeble is your arm,Your life is hid with Christ in God,Beyond the reach of harm.

3. Weak as you are you shall notfaint,

Or fainting, shall not die;Jesus, the strength of every saint,Will aid you from on high.

2/2


4. Though unperceived by mortalsense,

Faith sees Him always near,A guide, a glory, a defence;Then what have you to fear?

5. As surely as He overcameAnd triumphed once for you,So surely you that love His NameShall triumph in Him too.

Charles Wesley, 1707–88

1. Rejoice, the Lord is King!Your Lord and King adore;Mortals, give thanks, and sing,And triumph evermore:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;Rejoice; again I say, rejoice!

2. Jesus the Saviour reigns,The God of truth and love;When He had purged our stainsHe took His seat above:

3. His Kingdom cannot fail,He rules o’er earth and heaven;The keys of death and hellAre to our Jesus given:

4. He sits at God’s right hand,Till all His foes submit,And bow to His command,And fall beneath His feet:

2/2


5. He all His foes shall quell,Shall all our sins destroy,And every bosom swellWith pure seraphic joy:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;Rejoice; again I say, rejoice!

6. Rejoice in glorious hope;Jesus the Judge shall come,And take His servants upTo their eternal home:

We soon shall hear the archangel’svoice;

The trump of God shall sound,Rejoice!

3. The Christ of the Covenant breaksSin’s bonds with His powerful

Breath:The Son of the Covenant rollsThrough darkest prisons of death.

4. His judgements complete theirintent,

The dross is destroyed in His ire:The earth is consumed by His

love—His passion of holy fire.

5. The songs of the heavens breakforth,

As myriads thunder their lays:The anthems of centuries burstIn love’s most glorious praise.

6. The Ark of the Covenant standsAglow in the Temple of God;The Mercy Seat proudly proclaimsThe power of Covenant blood.

7. The life of the Spirit floods all,The love of the Son is aflame:The grace of the Father has wonThe heart that wept in its shame.

With all its grace, is given:Their name an everlasting name,Their joy the joy of heaven.

5. They suffer with their Lord below;They reign with Him above;Their profit and their joy, to knowThe mystery of His love.

wealth,Their everlasting theme.

1. Weary of wandering from my God,And now made willing to return,I hear, and bow me to the rod;For Thee, not without hope, I mourn;I have an Advocate above,A Friend before the throne of Love.

2. O Jesus, full of truth and grace,More full of grace than I of sin,Yet once again I seek Thy face;Open Thine arms, and take me in,And freely my backslidings heal,And love the faithless sinner still.

3. Thou know’st the way to bring meback,

My fallen spirit to restore;O! for Thy truth and mercy’s sake,Forgive, and bid me sin no more;The ruins of my soul repair,And make my heart a house of prayer.

2/2


4. The stone to flesh again convert,The veil of sin again remove;Sprinkle Thy blood upon my heart,And melt it by Thy dying love;This rebel heart by love subdue,And make it soft, and make it new.

5. Give to mine eyes refreshing tears,And kindle my relentings now;Fill my whole soul with filial fears,To Thy sweet yoke my spirit bow;Bend by Thy grace, O bend or break,The iron sinew in my neck!

6. Ah! give me, Lord, the tender heartThat trembles at the approach of sin;A godly fear of sin impart,Implant, and root it deep within,That I may dread Thy gracious power,And never dare to offend Thee more.

Martin Bleby1 Thessalonians 4:18

[sing refrain after verses 2, 4 & 6]

For He’ll come againAnd every eye will see Him,Everyone who pierced Him,And all the tribes will mourn.In that day rejoice,Rise eagerly to greet Him,There we all shall meet HimAnd be ever with the Lord.

1. And there will be signsIn sun and moon and stars,The roaring sea and waves,Perplexity of nations;They will see the Son of manWith the clouds of heavenComing in great glory,Redemption in His hand.

2/4


2. When He is revealedWith mighty angels, flaming fire,Inflicting vengeance of His wrathOn all who will not know Him,Destruction is decreedWith overflowing righteousness,Marvelled at in all believers,Glorified in all His saints.


3. You will hear of wars,Earthquakes, famines, plagues,Men will hate and kill,Give you up to tribulation.Do not be alarmed;All these things will happen.Preach the gospel of the kingdom,Stand before the Son of man.

3/4


4. For He will destroyAll authority and rule—Even death itself—Underneath His feet.Then will come the end,When He will give the kingdomOver to the Father,And God be all in all.

1. In that Day, when faith gives way tosight, we’ll know all things,

As with joy we stand before thethrone of our great King;

We shall see Him who has loved us,and has led us all the way,

And His grace is coming to us toprepare us for that Day.

2. Oh that Day shall come within thetwinkling of an eye,

And we’ll rise, with all the saints, tomeet Him in the sky;

And our song shall ring out clearly:‘Worthy is the Lamb our Lord,’

We shall worship Him forever, in theTemple of our God.

2/2


And the Spirit and the Bride say‘Come,’

Let the one who hears this say‘Come,’

Let him who is thirsty come anddrink

Freely of the water of life.

3. Till that Day we wait in hope forwhat will surely be,

When we join with all creation inour liberty:

We are longing for Your coming, Ohcome quickly, Lord, we pray,

That Your grace we may know fully,in the glory of that Day.

Bernard of Cluny, 12th cent.tr. John Mason Neale, 1818–66

1. Brief life is here our portion,Brief sorrow, short-lived care;The life that knows no ending,The tearless life, is there.O happy retribution!Short toil, eternal rest;For mortals and for sinners,A mansion with the blest.

2. That we should look, poor wanderers,To have our home on high!That worms should seek for dwellingsBeyond the starry sky!And now we fight the battle,But then shall wear the crownOf full and everlastingAnd passionless renown.

2/6


3. And now we watch and struggle,And now we live in hope,And Zion in her anguishWith Babylon must cope;But He whom now we trust inShall then be seen and known,And they that know and see HimShall have Him for their own.

* * *4. For thee, O dear, dear country,

Mine eyes their vigils keep;For very love, beholdingThy happy name, they weep:The mention of thy gloryIs unction to the breast,And medicine in sickness,And love, and life, and rest.

5. O one, O only mansion!O paradise of joy!Where tears are ever banished,And smiles have no alloy;The cross is all thy splendour,The Crucified thy praise,His laud and benedictionThy ransomed people raise.

3/6


6. Jerusalem the glorious!Glory of the elect!O dear and future visionThat eager hearts expect!E’en now by faith I see thee;E’en here thy walls discern:To thee my thoughts are kindled,And strive, and pant, and yearn.

7. Jerusalem, the only,That look’st from heaven below,In thee is all my glory,In me is all my woe!And though my body may not,My spirit seeks thee fain,Till flesh and earth return meTo earth and flesh again.

* * *8. Jerusalem the golden,

With milk and honey blest,Beneath thy contemplationSink heart and voice oppressed.I know not, O I know not,What social joys are there!What radiancy of glory,What bliss beyond compare!

4/6


9. They stand, those halls of Zion,All jubilant with song,And bright with many an angelAnd all the martyr throng;The Prince is ever in them;The daylight is serene;The pastures of the blessèdAre decked in glorious sheen.

10. There is the throne of David,And there, from care released,The shout of them that triumph,The song of them that feast;And they who, with their Leader,Have conquered in the fight,For ever and for everAre clad in robes of white.

* * *11. Jerusalem, exulting

On that securest shore,I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee,And love thee evermore!I ask not for my merit:I seek not to denyMy merit is destruction,A child of wrath am I:

5/6


12. But yet with faith I ventureAnd hope upon the way,For those perennial guerdonsI labour night and day.The best and dearest FatherWho made me, and who saved,Bore with me in defilement,And from defilement laved;

13. When in His strength I struggle,For very joy I leap;When in my sin I totter,I weep, or try to weep:And grace, sweet grace celestial,Shall all its love display,And David’s royal fountainPurge every stain away.

14. O sweet and blessèd country,Shall I ever see thy face?O sweet and blessèd country,Shall I ever win thy grace?I have the hope within meTo comfort and to bless!Shall I ever win the prize itself?O tell me, tell me, Yes!

6/6


15. Strive, man, to win that glory;Toil, man, to gain that light;Send hope before to grasp it,Till hope be lost in sight.Exult, O dust and ashes;The Lord shall be thy part:His only, His for everThou shalt be, and thou art.

Charles Wesley, 1707–88, alt.

1. Lo! He comes with cloudsdescending,

Once for favoured sinners slain;Thousand thousand saints

attending,Swell the triumph of His train:Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!God appears on earth to reign.

2. Every eye shall now behold HimRobed in dreadful majesty;Those who set at nought and sold

Him,Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,Deeply wailing, deeply wailing,

deeply wailing,Shall the true Messiah see.

2/2


3. The dear tokens of His passionStill His dazzling body bears;Cause of endless exultationTo His ransomed worshippers;With what rapture, with what

rapture, with what raptureGaze we on those glorious scars!

4. Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,High on Thine eternal throne;Saviour, take the power and gloryClaim the kingdom for Thine own;Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!Everlasting God, come down!

1. There is a mystery which many cannotsee—

It’s hidden through the ages in God:That we the church might show the

wondrous wisdom of our Father,By acting truly as the sons of God:

And all creation waits with eagerlonging,

For the sons of God to be revealed.

2. We are redeemed by the preciousblood of Christ,

From darkness He has called us to Hislight;

And in the world He’s placed us toshine by pure loving,

Reflecting more each day our Father-God:

And share together in the plan of God:

And all creation waits with eagerlonging,

For the sons of God to be revealed.

And what we shall be does not yetappear;

But we know that when He appears,we shall be like Him,

For we shall see Him as He is:

True and faithful witness, clad in robesdipped in blood;

Eyes like flames of fire, crowned asKing and Lord?

In the blood of the Lamb;They shall eat of the tree of life,Exulting as He comes!

Geoffrey Bingham

1. Father sends the Holy Spirit,Sends Him when the world beginsFrom Him comes the life of all

things;From Him comes the life of men.Man is noble, man is holy,Man is one with Father-God.Life flows through him from the

Spirit:Man is regal, rightly proud.

2. God makes man to be a spirit,But a spirit Spirit-filled.Man the lord of all creationMust do what the Father wills.He must love, the earth replenishWith the fruit of loins and mind,And subdue its mighty powersFor the good of every-kind.

2/4


3. Man cast off this holy mandate:Man refused this life in God.Died to his essential being,Abdicated from the Word.He is dead and he is dying,Caught in bondage to his godsFalse amid his passion’s idols,Lost within unholy love.

4. History tells us of the SpiritPlanning with the Father, Son,Man’s release and liberationIn the holy eschaton.Work in judgement, toil in Israel,Through Messiah in His hour,God’s fulfilment of His promiseGiven in prophetic power.

3/4


5. See the Spirit work with JesusFrom the baptism to the throne,Foiling Satan’s tempting power,Casting demons from their ownTyranny of man encircledBy the guilt that binds the soul.See the Spirit through Christ

healingUntil man again is whole.

6. From the Cross cascades arepouring:

From the Grave fresh torrentssurge,

Spates of life are ever flowing,Floods so pure that cleanse and

purge.Man renewed in noble splendour:Man stands tall in God’s new hourWith the Spirit’s strong anointingFeels the flush of holy power.

4/4


7. Praise the Father who creates us,Praise the Son who, from the

Tree,Liberates the whole creationInto glory’s unity.Praise the Spirit of the Father,Praise the Spirit of the Son:Praises ring through endless agesFor the vict’ry they have won!

1. Granted is the Saviour’s prayer,Sent the gracious Comforter;Promise of our parting Lord,Jesus now to heaven restored.

2. Christ, who now gone up on highCaptive leads captivity;While His foes from Him receiveGrace that God with man may live.

3. God, the everlasting God,Makes with mortals His abode;Whom the heavens cannot

contain,He vouchsafes to dwell in man.

4. Never will He thence depart,Inmate of a humble heart;Carrying on His work within,Striving till He casts out sin.

2/2


5. There He helps our feeble moans,Deepens our imperfect groans,Intercedes in silence there,Sighs the unutterable prayer.

6. Come, divine and peaceful Guest,Enter our devoted breast;Life divine in us renew,Thou the Gift, and Giver too!

I have a Friend, a Comforter divine;To Him I pray, when Satan’s hosts

surround me,He gives the strength, and makes the

victory mine:

Blessèd Holy Spirit, reign in me today,I would be like Jesus, pure in every

way.Guide me, teach me ever what I ought

to know,Fill me with Thy fullness till I overflow!

2. When Christ our Lord ascended to theFather

This Gift He sent within our hearts tolive;

’Tis He who teaches, He who guidesand keeps us,

And daily He abiding peace will give:

way.Guide me, teach me ever what I ought

to know,Fill me with Thy fullness till I overflow!

1. Spirit of faith, come down,Reveal the things of God;And make to us the Godhead

known,And witness with the blood:’Tis Thine the blood to apply,And give us eyes to see,Who did for every sinner dieHath surely died for me.

2. No man can truly sayThat Jesus is the Lord,Unless Thou take the veil away,And breathe the living word;Then, only then, we feelOur interest in His blood,And cry, with joy unspeakable,‘Thou art my Lord, my God!’

2/2


3. O that the world might knowThe all-atoning Lamb!Spirit of faith, descend, and showThe virtue of His name;The grace which all may find,The saving power impart;And testify to all mankind,And speak in every heart.

4. Inspire the living faith,Which whosoe’er receives,The witness in himself he hath,And consciously believes;That faith that conquers all,And doth the mountain move,And saves whoe’er on Jesus call,And perfects them in love.

1. There was a day when God sent manHis Spirit,

Christ’s throne gift poured upon usfrom above,

The Son of Man ascended to the gloryEmpowered us to know and share His

love:

Mighty Holy Spirit, come on us today,Who, devoid of power, walked not in

Christ’s way;Fill us with dynamic to proclaim the Son,And announce to sinners freedom He

has won.

2. A Kingdom Christ has given to Hispeople,

The ancient promise that the saintsobtain;

This Kingdom’s might that firstredeems and saves us,

And then empowers the sons of Godto reign:

Son,And announce to sinners freedom He

has won.

Son,And announce to sinners freedom He

has won.

Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740–78

1. A debtor to mercy alone,Of Covenant mercy I sing;Nor fear, with Thy righteousness on,My person and off’rings to bring.The terrors of law and of GodWith me can have nothing to do;My Saviour’s obedience and bloodHide all my transgressions from view.

2. The work which His goodness began,The arm of His strength will complete;This promise is Yea and Amen,And never was forfeited yet.Things future, nor things that are now,Not all things below or above,Can make Him His purpose forego,Or sever my soul from His love.

2/2


3. My name from the palms of His handsEternity will not erase;Impressed on His heart it remainsIn marks of indelible grace.Yes, I to the end shall endure,As sure as the earnest is given;More happy, but not more secure,The glorified spirits in heaven.

Geoffrey Bingham

1. Ah, tide of love that floods my heart,That flows to me from Your dear

Throne,That finds its way through all my

wastes,Until it makes me all Your own;Ah, dear dear tide that floods my heartAnd makes me Yours—one holy part.

2. Ah, tide of love that brings Your peaceAnd calms the jangled heart of pain,That floods the joy that heaven knowsAcross my parched and needy plains;Ah, love and joy and peace that flowAnd cause me all Your heart to know.

3. Ah, Face of love that smiles uponThe anguished spirit filled with guilt,That sets it free and makes it strong,And washes clean all memory’s silt;Ah, pain that floods our hearts with

love,That draws us by Your Cross above.

4. Ah, glorious love that formed the planTo win the nations far and wide,To kill all hatred, ban all wars,And heal all wounds—for this He died.We watch Your love through all our

painTill we are wholly one again.

5. Ah, Father-love, ah, Spirit-peace,Ah, gentle Brother, Warrior strong—You teach us ways that Heaven knowsAnd fill our hearts with glorious song.You stand upon the heav’nly shoreAnd call us home—for evermore.

1. All praise to our redeeming Lord,Who joins us by His grace,And bids us, each to each

restored,Together seek His face.

2. He bids us build each other up;And, gathered into one,To our high calling’s glorious hopeWe hand in hand go on.

3. The gift which He on one bestows,We all delight to prove;The grace through every vessel

flows,In purest streams of love.

4. E’en now we think and speak thesame,

And cordially agree;Concentred all, through Jesu’s

name,In perfect harmony.

5. We all partake the joy of one,The common peace we feel,A peace to sensual minds

unknown,A joy unspeakable.

6. And if our fellowship belowIn Jesus be so sweet,What heights of rapture shall we

knowWhen round His throne we meet!
