Rejoice, the Lord is King!Your Lord and King adore!Mortals, give thanks and singAnd triumph evermore.[Chorus]Lift up your heart! Lift up your voice!Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!Lift up your heart! Lift up your voice!Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!2. The Lord, the Savior, reigns,The God of truth and love.When he had purged our stains,He took his seat above.3.

Praise to the Lord the Almighty

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!Join the great throng,Psaltery, organ and song,Sounding in glad adoration!2. Praise to the Lord! Over all things he gloriously reigneth.Borne as on eagle wings, safely his Saints he sustaineth.Hast thou not seenHow all thou needest hath beenGranted in what he ordaineth?3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy way and defend thee.Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee.Ponder anewWhat the Almighty can do,Who with his love doth befriend thee.4. Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore him!All that hath breath, join with Abrahams seed to adore him!Let the amenSum all our praises again,Now as we worship before him.Text: Joachim Neander, 16501680; trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 18291878Music: From Stralsund Gesangbuch, 1665; arr. by William S. Bennett, 18161875, and Otto Goldschmidt, 18291907

Consider the Lilies

Verse IConsider the lilies they dont toil nor spinAnd theres not a king with more splendor than themConsider the sparrow they dont plant or sowBut theyre fed by the Master who watches them growChorusWe have a Heavenly Father aboveWith eyes full of mercyAnd a heart full of loveHe really cares when Your head is bowed lowConsider the lilies and then you will knowVerse IINow may I introduce you to this friend of mineWho hangs out the stars and tells the sun when to shineAnd kisses the flowers each morning with dewBut Hes not too busy to care about you

Press Forward Saints

1. Press forward, Saints, with steadfast faith in Christ,With hopes bright flame alight in heart and mind,With love of God and love of all mankind.[Chorus]Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!2. Press forward, feasting on the word of Christ.Receive his name, rejoicing in his might.Come unto God; find everlasting light.3. Press on, enduring in the ways of Christ.His love proclaim thru days of mortal strife.Thus saith our God: Ye have eternal life!Text: Marvin K.

Bound For The Promised Land

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings "Bound for the Promised Land."As sung on "Spirit of America," "America's Choir," and our newest "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" CDs.Bound for the Promised Land has appeared in everyAmerican Methodist hymnal since 1808 and was a favoritein nineteenth-century American camp meetings. It wasalso included in Walkers Southern Harmony. The wordswere written by the London-based Baptist preacher SamuelStennett, and were published in England in 1787. But thetune is a genuine American folk hymn tune that bears astrong resemblance to an early nineteenth-century dancemelody. Unusually, it appears in nineteenth-centuryhymnals in both major-key and minor-key versions.On Jordans stormy banks I standAnd cast a wishful eye,To Canaans fair and happy landWhere my possessions lie.There genrous fruits that never failOn trees immortal grow;There rocks and hills and brooks and valesWith milk and honey flow.I am bound for the promised land,Im bound for the promised land,O who will come and go with me?I am bound for the promised land.O the transporting raptrous sceneThat rises to my sight,Sweet fields arrayed in living greenAnd rivers of delight.When shall I reach that happy placeAnd be forever blessed?When shall I see my Fathers faceAnd in His bosom rest?
