Acts 4:12

• [Act 4:12] Conquering Kings Their Titles Take

  Conquering kings their titles take, From the lands they captive make; Jesus, Thine was given Thee For a world Thou madest free. Not another name is given Power possessing under heaven, Strong to call dead souls to rise And exalt them to the skies. That which Christ so hardly wrought, That which He so dearly bought, That salvation, mortals say, Will ye madly cast away? Rather gladly for that Name Bear the cross, endure the shame; Joyfully for Him to die Is not death but victory. Jesus, if Thou condescend To be called the sinner’s Friend, Ours the joy and glory be Thus to make our boast of Thee. Glory to the Father be, Glory, virgin born, to Thee, Glory to the Holy Ghost, Ever from the heavenly host.

• [Act 4:12] Only One Name

  There is only one Name that the saints adore— Jesus, our Elder Brother; They give Him all the praise, now and ever more; His Name is over every other. Refrain Then lift the happy strain, And sing the glad refrain— The Name, the Name of Jesus; Then lift the happy strain, And sing the glad refrain— The Name, the Name of Jesus. There is only one Name that the soul need know— Jesus, the Lord’s Anointed; He suffered to redeem us from sin and woe, And bear us to the rest appointed. Refrain There is only one Name that the angels sing— Jesus, the Lord of Glory; They gather at His feet while they hail Him King, And listen to redemption’s story. Refrain

• [Act 4:12] ’tis For Conquering Kings To Gain

  ’Tis for conquering kings to gain Glory o’er their myriads slain; Jesus, Thy more glorious strife Hath restored a world to life. So no other Name is giv’n Unto mortals under Heav’n Which can make the dead to rise, And exalt them to the skies. That which Christ so hardly wrought, That which He so dearly bought, That salvation, mortals, say, Will you madly cast away? Rather gladly for that Name Bear the cross, endure the shame; Joyfully for Him to die Is not death, but victory. Dost Thou, Jesus, condescend To be called the sinner’s Friend? Ours, then, it shall always be Thus to make our boast of Thee.

• [Act 4:12] To The Name Of Our Salvation

  To the Name of our salvation, Laud and honor let us pay, Which for many a generation Hid in God’s foreknowledge lay; But with holy exultation We may sing aloud today. Jesus is the Name we treasure; Name beyond what words can tell; Name of gladness, Name of pleasure, Ear and heart delighting well; Name of sweetness, passing measure, Saving us from sin and hell. ’Tis the Name for adoration, Name for songs of victory, Name for holy meditation In this vale of misery, Name for joyful veneration By the citizens on high. ’Tis the Name that whoso preacheth Speaks like music to the ear; Who in prayer this Name beseecheth Sweetest comfort findeth near; Who its perfect wisdom reacheth, Heavenly joy possesseth here. Jesus is the Name prevailing Over every name by right; At this Name, in terror quailing, Powers of hell are put to flight; God, in mercy never failing, Saves by this Name of might. Therefore we in love adoring, This most blessèd Name revere; Holy Jesus, Thee imploring So to write it in us here, That hereafter, heavenward soaring, We may sing with angels there.

• [Act 4:12] To The Name That Is Salvation

  To the Name that is salvation, Praise and homage let us pay; Life of every generation, Law that all the stars obey; Love and light by Whose creation All that is stands fast today. Fairest Name beyond all speaking, Fullest end of all desire, Close, yet far beyond all seeking, Goodness, beauty, truth, entire; Wisdom, never vengeance wreaking, Radiance never vexed with ire. ’Tis the Name of mercy, speeding, Just and unjust with His ray; Power that rules by patient leading, Not by force, the easier way; So that man, in freedom heeding, May the law of love obey. Name of awe and Name of pleasure, Glow divine of grace untold; Sum of values, whose full treasure Striving art can ne’er unfold; Sea of virtue passing measure, Life that doth all life uphold. Hail, O Father, all creating, Now, as when the world began; Master Mind, amazed we hail Thee, As the light-year depths we scan; Spirit of transcendent union, True and just Thy ways to man!

Acts 4:36

• [Act 4:36] Son Of Consolation, The

  The Son of Consolation! Of Levi’s priestly line, Filled with the Holy Spirit, And fervent faith divine, With lowly self-oblation, For Christ an offering meet, He laid his earthly riches At the apostles’ feet. The Son of Consolation! O name of soothing balm! It fell on sick and weary Like breath of Heaven’s own calm! And the blest Son of Comfort With fearless loving hand The Gentiles’ great apostle Led to the faithful band. The Son of Consolation! Drawn near unto his Lord, He won the martyr’s glory, And passed to his reward; With him is faith now ended, For ever lost in sight, But love, made perfect, fills him With praise, and joy, and light. The Son of Consolation! Lord, hear our humble prayer, That each of us Thy children This blessèd name may bear; That we, sweet comfort shedding O’er homes of pain and woe, ’Midst sickness and in prisons, May seek Thee here below. The Sons of Consolation! O what their bliss shall be When Christ the King shall tell them, “Ye did it unto Me!” The merciful and loving The Lord of life shall own, And as His priceless jewels, Shall set them round His throne.
