Our Helper He amid the flood
Down the ag­es roll the tid­ings,
Down the ag­es roll the tid­ings,
Is borne the song that angels know
Shed their glo­ry o’er our way
Lo! the King of glo­ry tak­eth
Your Lord and King adore;
Where the rank weeds wave;
His peo­ple with joy ev­er­last­ing are crowned.

Sweetest note in seraph song;
Rapturous news for ev­ery na­tion—
Echoed through the hap­py plains.
God, who made and go­verns all!
Why did He, the Lord Eter­nal,
Angels ad­ore Him, His glo­ries con­fess­ing,
His lips with grace o’erflow.
Listen what he’s say­ing, as he sinks to rest,
Now the clouds of night are brok­en,
O blessed life, as spirit soars,

Mortal

For still our ancient foe
Shepherds watch­ful guard are keep­ing,
Shepherds watch­ful guard are keep­ing,
That sweetly soothe the Savior’s woe.
Visions clear of end­less day.
His abode: to praise awak­eth
And triumph evermore:
Hither, ’tis the grave!
And sweet let the glad­some ho­san­nas arise;
What were His works, from day to day,
Sweetest carol ever sung:
Glad we trace th’amaz­ing sto­ry,
Richest in­cense cheer­ful bring;
Jesus lifts on high your horn;
He who fa­shioned for His glo­ry,
end
Among the sons of men;
Work while it is day, it will not all be done;
He is ris­en! Al­le­lu­ia!
Beyond the sense, beyond to Him,
