Hymnal Lyrics


1

Blest and Happy Is the Man

1. Blest and happy is the man who does never walk astray,

Nor with the ungodly men stands in sinners‟ way.

Chorus: All he does prospers well, but the wicked are not so; They

are chaff before the wind, driven to and fro.

2. Ne‟er in scorner‟s chair he sits, for he places his delight In

God‟s law and meditates on it day and night.



3. He shall be a tree that grows, planted by the river‟s side,

Which in season yields its fruit; green its leaves abide.



Hymnal Lyrics


2

Psalm 1

1. Oh, blessed is the man who does not walk in wicked ways;

Who will not with the scoffers sit nor with the sinners

stray. The law of the Eternal shall be his true delight; He

meditates upon it forever day and night.

2. He shall be like a tree that grows beside the flowing

stream, Which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf is

always green, And all he does shall prosper, unlike the

wicked men, For they are like the chaff that is scattered by

the wind.

3. And when the day of judgment comes the wicked shall not

stand, And from God‟s congregation then the sinner shall

be banned; God watches o‟er His people, and guides all

godly men, But wicked ways shall perish, and not be seen

again.

Hymnal Lyrics


3

Trust in God and Stand in Awe

1. Hear and answer when I call, O righteous God. From

distress You set me free; hear now my prayer. O how men

love vanity; falsehood they seek; Turning glory into

shame, they are misled.

2. O how long will sons of men love vanity? O how long

love vain intrigues, seek after lies? Trust in God and stand

in awe, and cease to sin. Know that God has set apart all

godly men.

3. “O that we might see some good!” many will say; Only

look and smile on us, O righteous God! God has given me

more joy than they all know; He alone makes me to dwell

safely in peace.

Hymnal Lyrics


4

Give Ear Unto My Words, O Lord

1. Give ear unto my words, O Lord, my meditation weigh;

Hear my loud cry, my King, my God, for I to Thee will

pray. Lord, Thou shalt early hear my voice; I early will

direct My prayer to Thee, and looking up, an answer will

expect.

2. For Thou art not a God who dost in wickedness delight;

No evil shall abide with Thee, nor fools stand in Thy sight.

All evildoers Thou dost hate, cut off shall liars be; The

bloody and deceitful man abhorred is by Thee.

3. But I into Thy house will come in Thy abundant grace;

And I will worship in Thy fear toward Thy holy place.

Because of watch ful enemies, O lead me by Thy grace,

And in Thy righteousness, Thy way make straight before

my face.

4. Let all who trust in Thee be glad, in shouts their praise

proclaim; Thou savest them; let all rejoice who love Thy

holy name. For Lord, unto the righteous man Thou wilt

Thy blessing yield; With favor Thou wilt compass him

about as with a shield.

Hymnal Lyrics


5

Turn, O God, and Save Me

1. O Lord God, rebuke me not in anger, Nor in hot

displeasure chastise me, O God. Be gracious, Lord, and

show me Your mercy; Heal me, O God, for I languish and

ache.

2. O Lord God, how long are You in helping? Turn, O God,

and save me; deliver my soul, For Your great love, for the

sake of Your mercies; For in the grave there is no thought

of You.

3. O Lord God, my bed is wet with weeping, And I faint with

moaning because of my foes. But God has heard; He has

answered my prayer. My foes shall turn, and shall be

ashamed.

Hymnal Lyrics


6

How Excellent Is Thy Name!

1. How excellent in all the earth, Lord our Lord is Thy name!

Who hast Thy glory far advanced above the starry frame.

From mouths of babes and infants, Lord, strength by Thee

is ordained, So that Thy enemies be crushed; Thy vengeful

foes restrained.

2. When I look up unto the heav‟ns which Thine own fingers

framed, Unto the moon and to the stars, which were by

Thee ordained; Then say I, what is man that Thou should

be mindful of him? Or what, the son of man, that Thou so

kind to him should be?

3. For Thou hast made him little less than the angels above;

With glory and with dignity; with honor crown‟d his head.

Appointed lord of all Thy works, all things under his feet:

All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts that in the field do

stray.

Hymnal Lyrics


7

How Excellent In All the Earth

1. How excellent in all the earth, Eternal, is Thy name! Who

hast Thy glory far advanced above the starry frame. From

mouths of infants and of babes Thou hast a strength

ordained, That adversaries should be stilled and vengeful

foes restrained.

2. When I look up unto the heav‟ns which Thine own fingers

framed; Unto the moon, and to the stars, which were by

Thee ordained; Then say I, “What is man, that he

remembered is by Thee, Or what the son of man, that

Thou so kind to him should be?”

3. For man a little lower than the angels hast Thou made;

And placed a crown of glory and of honor on his head.

Appointed lord of all Thy works; beneath him all things

be, All flocks and herds, all beasts and birds, all fishes of

the sea.

Hymnal Lyrics


8

I Will Praise Thee, O Eternal!

1. I will praise Thee, O Eternal; I will show forth Thy great

works! O Thou Most High God, Eternal, I will sing praise

to Thy name! But my foes shall turn and stumble; at Thy

presence they shall fall. The Eternal judges rightly, and

forever He will rule!

2. The Eternal lives forever; He destroys all wicked men; He

removes their name forever, and their mem‟ry dies with

them. But He judges all with fairness; He will rule with

equity; All who know His name shall trust Him; He will

not forsake His own.

3. To the Lord who dwells in Zion, sing to Him and praise

His name! Tell His deeds among the nations! Tell of all

His glorious works! He avenges all His people; He will

not forget their cry. To the Lord who dwells in Zion, sing

to Him and praise His name!

Hymnal Lyrics


9

Declare His Works to All Nations!

1. I will sing, O Most High, praises to Thy name with my

whole heart! And proclaim Thy wonders great; I will

rejoice and exult in Thee! My foes fall at Thy sight, for

Thou hast maintained my cause and my cry; God will

judge from His throne; He shall remain forevermore!

2. God will rule up rightly, judge the world in righteousness.

The oppressed who seek Him, He will to them a refuge be.

For the Lord will not forget those who put their trust and

confidence in Him. To the Lord sing His praise; declare

His works to all nations!

3. God Most High in Zion dwells; He will not forget His

people; They declare His great works, and He will not

forget their cry. Rise, O Lord! Put them all in fear! All the

nations that forget that Thou art God. Judge them, Lord, in

Thy sight; let the nations know they are but men!

Hymnal Lyrics


10

Who Shall Dwell On Thy Holy Hill?

1. O Eternal, who shall dwell in the temple of Thy grace?

Who shall on Thy holy hill have a fixed abiding place? He

who walks in righteousness, all his actions just and clear;

He whose words the truth express, spoken from a heart

sincere.

2. He who ne‟er with slandering tongue utters malice and

deceit; Who will ne‟er his neighbor wrong, nor a

sland‟rous tale repeat. Who will claim no usury, nor with

bribes pollute his hand; He who thus shall frame his life,

shall unmoved forever stand.

Hymnal Lyrics


11

The Heavens God’s Glory Do Declare

1. The heav‟ns God‟s glory do declare, The skies His

handiworks teach; Day after day their speech pours forth,

And knowledge, night after night. There is no speech nor

spoken word; Their voice is never heard; And yet their

voice spreads to all the earth, Their words to the ends of

the world.

2. The heav‟ns a tent for the sun He made, Which comes

forth like a bridegroom, Leaving his chamber glowing

bright, To run his course with joy. From heaven‟s end its

rising is, Its circuit to its ends; And there is nothing from

its heat, No, nothing is hidden thereof.

3. The law of God is a perfect law, For it converts the soul;

Sure are the sayings of our God, They make the simple

wise. Statutes of God are right and just, And do rejoice the

heart; The Lord‟s commandments are pure and clear, And

light to the mind they impart.

Hymnal Lyrics


12

Most Perfect is the Law of God

1. Most perfect is the law of God, restoring those that stray;

His testimony is most sure, proclaiming wisdom‟s way.

2. The precepts of the Lord are right; with joy they fill the

heart; The Lord‟s commandments all are pure, and clearest

light impart.

3. The fear of God is undefiled and ever shall endure; The

statutes of the Lord are truth and righteousness most pure.

4. The words which from my mouth proceed, the thoughts

within my heart, Accept, O Lord, for Thou my Rock and

my Redeemer art.

Hymnal Lyrics


13

The Lord’s My Shepherd (Crimond)

1. The Lord‟s my Shepherd; I‟ll not want. He makes me

down to lie in pastures green; He leadeth me the quiet

waters by.

2. My soul He doth restore again, And me to walk doth make

within the paths Of righteousness, e‟en for His own

name‟s sake.

3. Yea, though I walk in death‟s dark vale, Yet will I fear

none ill; for Thou art with Me, and Thy rod and staff me

comfort still.

4. My table Thou hast furnished In presence of my foes; my

head Thou dost With oil anoint, and my cup overflows.

5. Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me,

and in God‟s house Forevermore my dwelling place shall

be.

Hymnal Lyrics


14

The Lord is My Shepherd (Montgomery)

1. The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know; I feed in

green pastures, safefolded I rest; He leadeth my soul

where the still waters flow, Restores me when wand‟ring,

redeems when oppressed; Restores me when wand‟ring,

redeems when oppressed.

2. Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray,

Since Thou art my Guardian no evil I fear; Thy rod shall

defend me, Thy staff be my stay; No harm can befall with

my Comforter near; No harm can befall with my

Comforter near.

3. In the midst of affliction my table is spread; With

blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o‟er; With perfume

and oil Thou anointest my head; Oh, what can I ask of Thy

providence more? Oh, what can I ask of Thy providence

more?

4. O surely Thy goodness and mercy, O God, Shall follow

my steps all the days of my life; Shall follow my steps all

the days of my life, And I will in Thy house forevermore

dwell; And I will in Thy house forevermore dwell.

Hymnal Lyrics


15

The Lord’s My Shepherd (Havergal)

1. The Lord‟s my Shepherd, I‟ll not want; He makes me

down to lie, In pastures green; He leadeth me the quiet

waters by.

2. My soul He doth restore again, and me to walk doth make

Within the paths of righteousness, e‟en for His own

name‟s sake.

3. Yea, though I walk in death‟s dark vale, yet will I fear

none ill; For Thou art with me, and Thy rod and staff me

comfort still.

4. My table Thou hast furnished in presence of my foes; My

head Thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows.

5. Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me,

And in God‟s house forevermore my dwelling place shall

be.

Hymnal Lyrics


16

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

1. My Shepherd will supply my need; Eternal is His name. In

pastures fresh He makes me feed, Beside the living stream.

He brings my wand‟ring spirit back, When I forsake His

ways; And leads me, for His mercy‟s sake, In paths of

truth and grace.

2. When I walk through the shades of death Thy presence is

my stay; One word of Thy supporting breath Drives all my

fears away. Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, Doth still my

table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Thine oil

anoints my head.

3. The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O

may Thy house be my abode, And all my work be praise.

There would I find a settled rest, While others go and

come; No more a stranger, nor a guest, But like a child at

home.

Hymnal Lyrics


17

To Thee I Lift My Soul

1. To Thee I lift my soul; I trust Thee, O my God; Let me not

be ashamed, nor let my foes triumph o‟er me. Let none

that wait on Thee, be put to shame at all, But those that

without cause transgress, let shame upon them fall.

2. Show me Thy ways, O Lord; O teach Thou me Thy paths;

And in Thy truth lead me Thyself, therein my teacher be.

For Thou art God that dost to me salvation send; And I

upon Thee all the day, expecting, do attend.

3. Thy tender mercies, Lord, remember, pray I Thee, And

lovingkindnesses, for they have ever been of old. My sins

and faults of youth do Thou, O Lord, forget, After Thy

mercy, think on me, and for Thy goodness great.

Hymnal Lyrics


18

Our God Is Good and Upright

1. Our God is good and upright; the way He‟ll sinners show.

The meek in judgment He will guide and make His paths

to know. The whole paths of the Lord are truth and mercy

sure To those that keep His covenant and testimonies pure.

2. Now, for Thine own name‟s sake, O Lord, I Thee entreat

To pardon mine iniquity, for it is very great. What man is

he that fears the Lord and doth Him serve? Him shall He

teach of His own way, the way that he should choose.

3. His soul shall dwell at ease, and his posterity Shall flourish

still, and of the earth inheritors shall be. With those that

fear Him is the secret of the Lord; The knowledge of His

covenant He will to them afford.

Hymnal Lyrics


19

Mine Eyes Upon the Lord (Continually Are Set)

1. Mine eyes upon the Lord continually are set; For He it is

that shall bring forth my feet out of the net. Turn unto me

Thy face, and to me mercy show, Because that I am

desolate and am brought very low.

2. My heart‟s griefs are increased; relieve me from distress;

See mine affliction and my pain, and all my sins forgive;

Consider Thou my foes, because they many are, And it a

cruel hatred is which they against me bear.

3. O do Thou keep my soul, do Thou deliver me, And let me

never be ashamed because I trust in Thee; Let uprightness

and truth keep me, who Thee attend. Redemption, Lord, to

Israel from all his troubles send.

Hymnal Lyrics


20

They Are Blest Who Are Forgiven

1. They are blest who are forgiven, to whom God imputes no

sin; Who go to the Eternal, and confess to Him their sins;

Whose iniquities are covered, whom the Lord does

instruct, Saying, “I will direct you in the way that you

should go.”

2. Many sorrows have the wicked, who know not the way of

God. Be not as mules or horses which are held by bridles

strong, But be glad in the Eternal, and rejoice all you just;

Shout for joy all you upright, in whose spirit is no guile.

3. Day and night God‟s hand was on me, and I groaned till I

confessed. My sins I laid before Him; quickly He forgave

them all. Ev‟ry godly one shall pray thus, while the Lord

may be found; So be glad all you upright; all you

righteous, shout for joy!

Hymnal Lyrics


21

Blessed Is the Nation God Is For

1. Blessed is the nation God is for, and the people He has

chosen; For God looks down from heav‟n above, and from

there beholds all nations. From His place above He looks

on all; He sees their ev‟ry doing; He sees their sin, He sees

their works; He beholds all of those who fear Him.

2. O you righteous in the Lord, rejoice, songs of praise befit

the upright; Play skillfully upon the strings, sing to Him a

joyful new song. For the Word of God is right and just, all

His works are true and faithful; His lovingkindness fills

the earth, for He loves righteousness and justice.

3. By the Word of God the heav‟ns were made, waters of the

sea He gathered. In storage places laid the deeps, let all the

earth revere Him. Let the people stand in awe of Him, for

He spoke and earth existed. When He commanded it stood

fast; by His word were the heav‟ns created.

4. Kings will not be saved by armies great, nor a mighty man

delivered; Not one is saved by his own strength, nor by

some other power. But the eyes of God are on the just,

those who fear and worship Him; Who wait for Him, who

hope for Him, those who trust in the God of Isr‟el.

Hymnal Lyrics


22

I Will Bless the Lord At All Times

1. I will bless the Lord at all times, And His praise shall fill

my mouth. Let us praise His name together; magnify the

Lord with me.

2. Blessed is the one who trusts Him; all His saints shall fear

the Lord. Those who seek Him shall lack nothing; taste

and see that He is good.

3. Children, listen to instructors, those who tell you, “Fear

the Lord.” Keep your tongue from speaking evil and your

lips from speaking guile.

4. God delivers from afflictions; He will hear our troubled

cries. He redeems His faithful servants; seek the refuge of

the Lord.

Hymnal Lyrics


23

Turn Thou From Evil

1. Turn thou from evil, do what is good; seek peace, pursue it

earnestly. Upon the just are the eyes of God; His ears are

open unto their cry. But the Eternal‟s face is against those

who are evil, doers of wrong; He cuts remembrance off

from them, cuts their remembrance from the earth.

2. When righteous men cry, God always hears, for He

delivers them from fears. Near unto them of a broken

heart, contrite of spirit, God saveth them. Many afflictions

that we do have, troubles there be of righteous men; But

the Eternal delivereth out from afflictions the righteous

man.

3. Turn thou from evil, do what is good; seek peace, pursue it

earnestly. God keeps the bones of the righteous man; not

one of them shall broken be. Evil shall slay all unrighteous

men; who hates the pure shall desolate be; But God

redeemeth the soul that‟s His; none shall be desolate

trusting Him.

Hymnal Lyrics


24

Wait and Hope and Look For God

1. Envy not nor fret yourself over evil, lawless men; They

like grass soon fade away and wither like a flow‟r. Trust in

the Eternal God, do the right and loyal be; So will you

dwell peacefully and truly shall be fed.

2. Put your confidence in God, and your way to Him commit;

He shall give you your desires, the petitions of your heart.

Rest in the Eternal God, patiently upon Him wait; Envy

not nor fret yourself because of evil men.

3. Cease from anger, cease from wrath, for all such shall be

cut off; Wait and hope and look for God; be still and trust

in Him. Soon the wicked shall not be, and his place shall

not be found; So shall you delight yourself in peace

abundantly.

Hymnal Lyrics


25

Righteous Judge

1. Righteous Judge, from foes defend me, who deceitful

charges lay; God, my strength, my soul deliver, and my

treach‟rous foes dismay; O send out Thy light and truth;

let them lead and guide me still; Let them bring me to Thy

dwelling; lead me to Thy holy hill.

2. Then will I come to Thine altar, God of my exceeding joy;

And with lyre will I sing praises; unto God, my God I‟ll

sing! Why art thou, my soul, cast down; why art thou

disquieted? I shall yet have hope and praise Him; unto

God shall I give praise!

Hymnal Lyrics


26

O God, We Have Heard

1. O God, we have heard and our fathers have taught The

works which of old in their day Thou hast wrought; The

nations were crushed and expelled by Thy hand; Cast out

that Thy people might dwell in their land.

2. They gained not the land by the edge of the sword; Their

own arm to them could no safety afford; But by Thy right

hand, O my Savior and King, Command and Thy word

shall deliverance bring!

3. No trust will I place in my bow to defend, Nor yet on my

sword for my safety depend; In God who has saved us and

put them to shame, We boast all the day, ever praising His

name!

Hymnal Lyrics


27

God Is Our Refuge

1. God is our refuge and our strength, in straits a present aid;

Therefore although the earth remove, we will not be

afraid.

2. Though hills amidst the seas be cast; though waters

roaring make, And troubled be; yea though the hills by

swelling seas do shake.

3. A river is, whose streams make glad the city of our God;

The holy place, wherein the Lord Most High has His

abode.

4. God in the midst of her doth dwell, and nothing shall her

move; The Lord to her an helper will, and that right early,

prove.

Hymnal Lyrics


28

Come See the Works of God

1. O God, our strength and refuge proves, in all distress a

present aid; Though the trembling earth remove, we will

never be dismayed. Kingdoms moved, the nations raged,

and the earth melted at His Word; The Lord of hosts for us

engaged, our refuge high is Jacob‟s God.

2. A river flows, whose living streams gladden the city of our

God; Tents where heavenly glory beams, where the Lord

has His abode. God has Zion His dwelling made; she shall

nevermore be moved; Her God shall early give His aid; He

her help has ever proved.

3. Come, see the works of God displayed, wonders of His

mighty hand; Desolations He has made, ruins spread

through all the land. “Be still, know I am God Most High;

o‟er the nations I will reign.” The Lord of hosts to us is

nigh; Jacob‟s God our help remains.

Hymnal Lyrics


29

Mount Zion Stands Most Beautiful

1. The Lord Eternal is most great and greatly to be praised!

Within the city of our God, upon His holy hill. Mount

Zion stands most beautiful, the joy of all the land! The city

of the mighty King doth on her north side stand.

2. Within her palaces our God is for a refuge known; For lo,

the kings assembled, together they did come. When they

beheld it all amazed, they fled in great dismay; And being

troubled at Thy sight, they thence did haste away.

3. As we have heard, we saw within the city of our God, The

city which the Lord of hosts established evermore. We of

Thy loving-kindness thought, in Thy most holy place; O

God, according to Thy name, Thy praise fills all the earth!

Hymnal Lyrics


30

Give Thanks and Offer Praise

1. Hear, O My people, and I‟ll speak, O Israel by name;

Against you I will testify, for God, your God, I am. The

fowls are all to Me well-known, that mountains high do

yield; I also claim as all My own the wild beasts of the

field.

2. Sing joyful songs to God Most High; give thanks and offer

praise; And when the day of trouble comes, I‟ll hear and

answer you. Think you that I would eat of flesh, or ask for

sacrifice? But rather unto Me, your God, give thanks and

offer praise.

3. But to the wicked man God says, “Why mention My

commands? Why take My cov‟nant on your lips, and cast

My words behind?” He glorifies My name who brings the

sacrifice of praise: I‟ll show salvation unto him who orders

right his ways.

Hymnal Lyrics


31

In Thy Lovingkindness, Lord

1. In Thy lovingkindness, Lord, be merciful to me; In

compassion great blot out all iniquity. Wash me

thoroughly from sin, from all guilt cleanse Thou me; For

transgressions I confess; sins I ever see.

2. „Gainst Thee only have I sinned, done evil in Thy sight,

That Thou speaking may be just, and in judging right. My

iniquities blot out, my sin hide from Thy view, And in me

a clean heart make, spirit right renew.

3. From Thy gracious presence, Lord, O cast me not away,

And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me I pray. Joy which

Thy salvation brings again to me restore; With Thy Spirit

free do Thou keep me evermore.

4. Sacrifice dost Thou not want, else would I give it Thee,

And with offering shalt Thou not delighted be. For a

broken spirit is to God a sacrifice, And a broken, contrite

heart, Thou wilt not despise.

Hymnal Lyrics


32

Save Me, O God, By Thy Great Name

1. Save me, O God, by Thy great name and judge me by Thy

strength. My prayer hear and to my words, O God, give

ear to me. For they that strangers are to me, do up against

me rise; Oppressors who care not for God but seek to take

my life.

2. The mighty God my Helper is; lo, therefore I am bold. He

taketh part with ev‟ry one, that doth my soul uphold. To

all my watchful foes He will their evil deeds repay; O for

Thy truth‟s sake cut them off and take them all away.

3. A freewill off‟ring I to Thee will bring in sacrifice. Lord,

of Thy name, for it is good; Thy praises will I sing.

Because He hath delivered me from all adversities; And

His desire mine eye hath seen, upon mine enemies.

Hymnal Lyrics


33

But As for Me. I’ll Call On God

1. „Twas not a foe who did deride, for that I could endure;

No hater thus who rose in pride, else would I hide secure.

But thou it was my friend and guide; we did as equals

meet; We walked to God‟s house side by side, and counsel

blended sweet.

2. His speech more smooth than butter was, yet in his heart

was war; More soft than oil his words appear, yet sharp as

drawn swords were they. But Lord Thou will in judgment

sit and bring them down to woe; And in the deep and

darksome pit, in ruin lay them low.

3. Death shall them seize, and to the tomb, alive they shall go

down; For wickedness is in their home; among them

abound their sins. But as for me, I‟ll call on God; the Lord

will safety give: He‟ll hear me when I cry aloud, at

morning, noon and night.

Hymnal Lyrics


34

Give Ear Unto My Prayer, O God

1. Give ear unto my prayer, O God, from earth‟s far end I

call; And lead me to the Rock to rest that higher is than I.

For You have been a shelter and a fort against the foe; O

let me in Your dwelling place abide forevermore.

2. My God has heard my vows and granted righteous

heritage; The share for those who trust in Him and fear His

holy name. Let God prolong the true king‟s life; forever let

Him reign! That He may sit before our God, enthroned in

righteousness.

3. When I was faint I cried to God, and He did hear my

prayer; For He has been my dwelling place; a shelter from

the foe. And so will I forevermore sing praises to His

name! Sing praises to His name fore‟er, and daily pay my

vows.

Hymnal Lyrics


35

God Is My Rock, My Salvation

1. God is my rock, my salvation, my hope; My soul in

silence waits for my God alone; He is my fort; I shall not

be removed; He is my refuge, my high tower of strength.

How long will men take pleasure in sin? They plot and

threaten the life of the king.

2. Vain men are they, delighting in craft; Their lips they bless

with, but they curse inwardly; Low men or high, both are

less than a breath; Trust and rely not on extortion and gain.

Rescue shall come from my God alone, And I shall never

be greatly removed.

3. Still, O my soul, wait in silence for God; My hope and

refuge is in my God alone; He is my Rock, my salvation

and strength; With God alone shall my deliverance be.

Kindness and pow‟r belong to our God; He shall reward

ev‟ry man for his works.

.

Hymnal Lyrics


36

Joyfully Sing and Praise God!

1. Joyfully sing and praise God, all the earth sing forth His

praise! Glory and honor give Him, sing homage to His

name! Say now to God, “How dread Your works, how

awesome are Your deeds! So great Your pow‟r Your foes

submit, all the earth worships You!”

2. O come, and see His great works, among men how dread

His deeds! He turned the sea to dry land and the

multitudes passed thru. So let us all rejoice in Him, who

by His pow‟r e‟er rules; Whose eyes observe and nations

watch; none shall exalt himself.

3. O bless our God, you peoples, make His praises to be

heard! Give unto Him your grateful thanks who has kept

us safe in life; And not allowed our feet to slip, tho‟ You

have tested us, Tho‟ we were captured by our foes; yet

have You set us free.

4. So will I come before my God, I will pay my vows to

Him; Vows which my lips have spoken, which I promised

when distress‟d. All you who fear Him, come and hear,

come you who worship Him; I will declare what God has

done, what He has done for me!

5. I called to God and cried out, I extolled Him with high

praise; Had I of sin been thinking, surely God would never

Hymnal Lyrics


hear. But God indeed has heard my pray‟r; blessed be God

who hears; He has not checked my pray‟r to Him, nor His

own love to me.

Hymnal Lyrics


37

O God, Forsake Me Not

1. Eternal God, my hope and refuge, Thou art my Rock and

fortress; O God, incline Thine ear to me; save me from the

unjust man. Thou art my help and trust, O Lord; my praise

shall always be to Thee; My mouth is filled with praise

and glory; O God, forsake me not!

2. Eternal God, be not far from me! O God, make haste to

help me! I‟ll hope and praise Thee more and more; I will

tell of Thy great works. Lord, when I‟m old forsake me

not; my enemies against me plan; They say, “His God will

not protect him;” O God, forsake me not!

3. Eternal God, our great Creator, Thy justice reaches

heaven; Thou who hast shown me many trials, Thou shalt

give me life once more. My lips will shout for joy, O God,

when I sing songs of praise to Thee; Thou Holy One who

hast redeemed me, O God, forsake me not!

Hymnal Lyrics

For Even From My Youth, O God

1. For even from my youth, O God, by Thee have I been

taught; And hitherto I have declared the wonders Thou

hast wrought. And now, O God, forsake me not, when I

am old and gray; Till I proclaim Thy wondrous deeds to

this and ev‟ry age.

2. Thy perfect righteousness, O God, the heaven‟s height

exceeds; O God, who is like Thee, who has performed

such mighty deeds? Thou, who hast shown me trials sore

and great adversities, Will quicken me again and bring me

from the depths of earth.

3. My greatness and my pow‟r Thou will increase and far

extend; Against all grief on ev‟ry side, to me will comfort

send. And I will also praise Thy truth, O God, with

psaltery; Thou Holy One of Israel, with harp I‟ll sing to

Thee.

Hymnal Lyrics


39

His Name is Great!

1. In Judah God is known and feared; in Israel His name is

great; His tent in Salem He hath reared; His royal seat in

Zion hath made. There He broke arrows of the bow, the

shield, the sword and war‟s array; More excellent, O Lord,

art Thou, more glorious far than hills of prey.

2. The stout of heart are spoiled in fight; a deadly sleep the

warrior slept; No hand of all the men of might its wonted

strength or cunning kept. O Jacob‟s God, at Thy

command, the chariot and the horse went down; For Thou

art fearful; who can stand, in the tempest of Thy frown?

3. From heaven God His judgment gave; the trembling earth

stood still and feared; When all the meek on earth to save,

for righteous judgment God appeared. Let all around their

presents bring to Him whom all the world should fear; He

cuts off princes; God the King fearful to earth‟s kings shall

appear.

Hymnal Lyrics

O Thou the Shepherd of Israel Art

1. O Thou the Shepherd of Israel art; Hear Thou our prayer

and Thy favor impart; Thou leader of Joseph, Thou guide

of his way, „Mid cherubim dwelling Thy glory display. In

Ephraim‟s, Manasseh‟s and Benjamin‟s sight, Come Thou

and save us; awake in Thy might.

2. How long in anger will Thou turn away, O Lord of hosts,

when Thy people do pray? With tears and sorrow their

table is laid; Of bitter mixture their drink hast Thou made.

Give us Thy favor, restore us Thy grace; Then we shall

live in the light of Thy face.

3. Thou made us a scorn to our neighbors around; Our foes in

laughter and scoffing abound. O Thou, God of Isr‟el,

return unto Thine; Look down from heaven and visit this

vine; No more shall we wander, delighting in shame; Save

us, O Lord, for we call on Thy name.

Hymnal Lyrics


41

Thou Shepherd That Dost Israel Keep

1. Thou Shepherd that dost Israel keep, give ear in time of

need, Who leadest like a flock of sheep Thy loved one,

Joseph‟s seed. That sit‟st between the cherubs bright,

between their wings outspread, Shine forth, and from Thy

cloud give light, and on our foes Thy dread.

2. In Ephraim‟s and in Benjamin‟s view and in Manasseh‟s

sight, Awake Thy strength, come and be seen to save us by

Thy might. Turn us again Thy grace divine, to us, O God,

vouchsafe; Cause Thou, Thy face on us to shine, for then

we shall be safe.

3. Lord God of hosts, how long wilt Thou, how long wilt

Thou declare Thy smoking wrath, and angry brow, against

Thy people‟s prayer? Return to us Thy grace divine, O

God of hosts, vouchsafe; Cause Thou, Thy face on us to

shine, for then we shall be safe.

Hymnal Lyrics

Praise the Eternal With A Psalm!

1. Praise the Eternal with a psalm; sing to the God of Jacob;

Raise the chorus, make a joyful noise; bring out the harp

and timbrel. Blow on the trumpet, sound the drum, on our

solemn feast day; This is a statute and a law which God

has ordained for Isr‟el.

2. “Hear, O My people, hear My voice; I will admonish

Isr‟el; You shall have no other, foreign gods; I am the God

who freed you. When you were troubled you did call; I

delivered Isr‟el.” God answer‟d in the secret place; with

thunder He did command them.

3. “I am the God who brought you out, out from the land of

Egypt; Hear, O Isr‟el, open wide your mouth; I surely then

will fill it.” But Israel would not heed God; they would

have their own ways; O, if they only had obeyed, their

God would have surely freed them.

4. Praise the Eternal with a psalm; sing to the God of Jacob;

Raise the chorus, make a joyful noise; bring out the harp

and timbrel. Blow on the trumpet, sound the drum, on our

solemn feast day; This is a statute and a law which God

has ordained for Isr‟el.

Hymnal Lyrics


43

Sing Songs of Praise to Him!

1. Praise the Eternal with a psalm; sing songs of praise to

Him! Play on the timbrel and the harp, and make a joyful

noise! This is a statute and a law God has ordained for us,

In the appointed time to keep; this do on God‟s most

solemn feast!

2. Blow on the trumpet; sing a psalm; make joyful noise to

God! He has delivered us from sin, saved us from Egypt‟s

land! We cried to God in bondage there; God heard and

answered us; From thunderclouds He answered us: “Hear,

O My people, hear My words!”

3. But His own people would not hear; they would not hear

His voice; They only wanted their own way, following

their own hearts. “O that My people would obey, walking

in all My ways! I should have soon delivered them, turned

My hand against their foes!”

Hymnal Lyrics


44

O Lord of Hosts, My King, My God!

1. O Eternal, Lord of hosts, how my heart cries out for Thee;

How my soul longs for Thy courts and for Thy tabernacles

dear. As the sparrow finds a home, as the swallow finds a

nest, Blest are those who dwell with Thee, O Lord of

hosts, my King, my God!

2. In Thy house, Lord, all are blest; they shall ever sing Thy

praise! Blest and happy is the man whose strength is in the

Lord his God. They all go from strength to strength; all

appear before their God; God of Jacob, hear my prayer, O

Lord of hosts, my King, my God!

3. Now behold, O God, our shield, look on Thine anointed

ones; Hear my prayer, O Lord of hosts; O God of Jacob,

now give ear; Better one day in Thy house than a thousand

days without; Better one day in Thy house, O Lord of

hosts, my King, my God!

Hymnal Lyrics


45

How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings

1. How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Eternal Lord of hosts!

My soul is longing, fainting, for Thee, O living God. Yea,

the bird has found its home, built a nest to lay her young;

O that I may find Thine altars, my Lord, my King, my

God!


For those who dwell in Thy house shall ever sing Thy

praise! Blest and happy is the man, who has found his

strength in Thee; He is stronger day by day, and shall in

Zion dwell!


Give ear unto my prayer, O God of Israel; For a day with

Thee is better than a thousand other days; O that I may

find Thine altars, my Lord, my King, my God!

Hymnal Lyrics


46

How Long, Eternal, Hide Thou Away?

1. How long, Eternal, hide Thou away? When will Thy wrath

not burn like a fire? Wherefore hast Thou made all men in

vain? Thou, God, remember, fleeting is life.

2. What man can live and never see death? Who can escape

the pow‟r of the grave? Where is the former love, O my

God? Which unto David, Thou hast pledged.

3. Recall, Eternal, Thy slave is scorned; Now I do bear

insults of the world, Wherewith Thy foes mock Thy

chosen ones; Blessed Eternal, always, amen.

Hymnal Lyrics


47

Zion, Founded on the Mountains

1. Zion, founded on the mountains, God, thy Maker, loves

thee well; He has chosen thee, most precious, He delights

in thee to dwell; God‟s own city, God‟s own city Who can

all thy glory tell?

2. Many lands and many peoples soon shall come the Lord to

know; Nations born again in Zion Shall the Lord‟s

salvation show; God Almighty, God Almighty Shall on

Zion strength bestow.

3. When the Lord shall count the nations, sons and daughters

He shall see, Born to endless life in Zion And their joyful

song shall be. “Blessed Zion, blessed Zion, All our

fountains are in thee.”

Hymnal Lyrics


48

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

1. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.

2. Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame,

From everlasting Thou art God, to endless years the same.

3. A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night before the rising

sun.

4. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,

Be Thou our guard while troubles last, and our eternal

home.

How Good It Is to Thank the Lord

1. How good it is to thank the Lord, and to Thy name our

praises sing, And to proclaim Thy steadfast love each day

and declare Thy faithfulness by night. Sing to the music of

the lute, and with a solemn sound upon the lyre; For all

Thy works have made me glad, O Lord, and of Thy deeds

will I sing!

2. Great are Thy works, Eternal Lord; deep are Thy thoughts,

O Thou Most High; Foolish and senseless men will never

know, nor will understand Thy ways. Though the wicked

sprout as grass, and evildoers flourish for awhile; They

shall all be uprooted and destroyed, while Thou art

evermore supreme!

3. Good men shall flourish like the palm; strong as a cedar

shall they be; For they are planted in God‟s house, and

they shall grow within His courts. Even in age shall they

bear fruit; rich and green they ever shall be; For our God is

faithful evermore, our Rock and righteous God!

Hymnal Lyrics

praise. Proclaim His love each morning, His faithfulness

by night. Sing to the music of the lute, play solemnly the

lyre. Rejoice we in His presence, before our God and

King.

2. The Most High God we praise Him; we thank Him for His

deeds. Though others may reject Him, His ways they

never see. For wickedness springs up as grass and

flourishes awhile. Yet all shall be uprooted, while God is

evermore high.

3. The righteous He will strengthen; they flourish in His care.

They in His house are planted and in His courts are

known. So shall they bear abundantly, their fruit matures

with age. He is our Rock and Anchor, our good and

righteous Lord.

Hymnal Lyrics


51

It is Good to Sing Thy Praises

1. It is good to sing Thy praises and to thank Thee, O Most

High. Showing forth Thy lovingkindness when the

morning lights the sky. It is good when night is falling of

Thy faithfulness to tell, While with sweet, melodious

praises songs of adoration swell.

2. Thou hast filled my heart with gladness through the works

Thy hands have wrought; Thou hast made my life

victorious, great Thy works and deep Thy thought. Thou,

O Lord on high exalted, reignest evermore in might; All

Thy enemies shall perish, sin be banished from Thy sight.

3. But the good shall live before Thee, planted in Thy

dwelling place, Fruitful trees and ever verdant, nourished

by Thy boundless grace. In Thy goodness to the righteous,

God, Thy righteousness display; God, my Rock, my

strength and refuge, just and true are all Thy ways.

2. For God, a mighty God and King, above all gods He is;

The depths of earth are in His hand, the strength of hills is

His. To Him the spacious sea belongs, for He the same did

did take.

3. O come, and let us worship Him, let us bow down withal;

And on our knees, before the Lord, our Maker, let us fall.

make; The dry land also from His hands its form at first

did take.

3. O come and let us worship Him, let us bow down withal,

And on our knees before the Lord our Maker let us fall.

For He and He alone is God, and we His people are, And

of His pasture we are sheep, the flock under His care.

Him; Rejoice you righteous and give thanks to God!

praise His name! He is King and He maintains the right;

He restoreth equity; Worship and exalt the Eternal One!

Holy, Mighty Majesty!

2. The Eternal One is God and King, and He spoke unto His

priests; In the pillar of the cloud He spoke, unto them who

kept His law. Moses is among them, Aaron too; they

extolled the Lord their God. Samuel also called upon His

name; God did hear, and answered them.

3. O Eternal, You did answer them; You forgave and You

avenged; So, exalt the One Eternal God, who in Zion is

most great! He is King and He maintains the right; He

restoreth equity; Worship and exalt the Eternal One! Holy,

Mighty Majesty!

He Shall Reign Forevermore!

1. Hear my prayer, O Thou Eternal; hide not Thy face from

me; Hear my cry and quickly answer, when my day of

trouble comes. Like grass my heart is withered, my days

like grass consumed; My God, take not my life now, in the

midst of my days.

2. Like an owl in some poor wasteland, I mourn and cannot

sleep; Like a melancholy sparrow, like a pelican alone. O

Thou, Eternal, hear me, and answer speedily; Hide not

Thy face from me, Lord, for I moan bitterly.

3. When our God returns from heaven, then Zion shall be

built; He shall come in all His glory; He shall help the

destitute. Their prayers He will despise not; their groaning

He will hear; And they shall dwell in safety, for our God

shall return.

4. When all people then are gathered to serve the Lord their

God, To declare His name in Zion, in Jerusalem His

praise! All kings shall see His glory, all nations hear His

name! His fame shall be declared then, He shall reign

forevermore!

Like the pity of a father hath the Lord‟s compassion been.

4. As it was without beginning, So it lasts without an end; To

their children‟s children ever Shall His righteousness

extend.

5. Unto such as keep His covenant And are steadfast in His

way; Unto those who still remember His commandments

and obey.

All throughout His vast dominion Bless the Father, O my

soul.

His name! For in heaven He has fixed His throne and there

He rules the earth. The Eternal vindicates the cause of all

those who have been wronged; For His mercy is as high

above as the heav‟ns above the earth!

4. Bless the Lord Eternal, O my soul, for His love always

endures! And His loyalty is to our sons who keep all His

commands. As for man, he blossoms like a flow‟r, and his

days are like the grass; But from death the Lord redeems

our life and He crowns us with His love!

Jacob, Glory to Him, sing praise to His name!

praise to His name!

Hymnal Lyrics


65

O Praise The Lord, For He is Good

1. O praise the Lord, for He is good, His mercies still endure;

Thus let His ransomed testify, From all their foes secure.

He has redeemed His captive saints From adversaries‟

hands, Has gathered them and brought them back In peace

from hostile lands.

2. They wandered in the wilderness, By want and hunger

pressed; In trouble then they cried to God, He saved their

souls distressed. He made the way before them plain,

Himself became their guide; He brought them to a city

strong Wherein they might abide.

3. O praise the Lord, you sons of men, For all His goodness

shown; O praise Him for the wondrous works To you He

has made known. The longing soul that turns to Him He

fully satisfies; He fills with good each hungering one That

for His mercy cries.

Hymnal Lyrics


66

O That Men Would Praise Their God!

1. O that men would praise their God For all His goodness

and all His works! For He fills the hungry soul, And they

who are thirsty He satisfies. Some are bound in darkness

and chains, For their rebellion against the Most High.

2. O that men would praise their God For all His goodness

and all His love! He has opened the prisons wide, And

saved men from death where they lay enslaved; In their

trouble they cried to Him, And with His word He

delivered their lives.

3. O that men would praise their God For all He does for the

sons of men! O that they would give thanks to Him With

shouts of joy and with songs of praise! Some crossed over

the stormy seas; They see the wonders of God in the deep.

When Israel Out of Egypt Went

1. When Isr‟el out of Egypt went and Did his dwelling

change, when Jacob‟s house went Out from those who

were of language strange, God made Judah then to be His

own, and Isr‟el His domain; At the sight of them the Sea

quickly fled, Jordan was driven back.

2. Like rams the mountains and like lambs the Hills skipped

to and fro. O sea, what ails you, That you flee; O Jordan,

that you turn back? What ails you, mountains, that you

skip, you Skip and leap like rams? What ails you, hills,

that You did leap, that you did leap like lambs?

3. O at the presence of the Lord, earth Trembled so with fear.

O at the presence Of the God of Jacob did appear; Who

from the hard and stoney rock did Pools of water bring;

And by His pow‟r He Turned the flint into a water spring.

Hymnal Lyrics


68

Praise Belongs to God

1. Not unto us, Eternal God, but unto Thy name give praise!

Glory unto Thee belongs, truth and mercy sure. They who

trust in the Lord, they who fear Him, small and great, He

will be their help and shield. Praise belongs to God!

2. Our God is on His throne in heav‟n; He has done what

pleases Him. So why do the heathen say, “Where is now

your God?” Israel, trust in God! He will be your help and

shield; House of Aaron, trust your God; help and shield is

He.

3. Men make their idols with their hands, gods of silver, gods

of gold; They have mouths but do not speak, ears but do

not hear! Israel, trust in God! All who fear Him, He will

bless! He will be your help and shield. Praise belongs to

God!

O Give Thanks Unto Our God

1. O give thanks unto our God; blessed be His name! His

mercy shall always endure; and His kindness never fails.

Let Israel confess to God, “His mercy always shall

endure”; Let Aaron‟s household now repeat, that His

mercy never fails!

2. I called upon the Lord my God; in distress I cried! He

answered me and set me free; put your confidence in God.

With the Eternal on my side, why should I fear what men

can do? Trust not in princes nor in man; better far to trust

in God!

3. All nations compassed me about, compassed me like bees;

But the Eternal is my strength; in His name I cut them off.

Open the gates of righteousness, where all the righteous

enter in; I shall not die, but I shall live and shall tell of all

His works!

4. O give thanks unto our God; He has answered me! He my

salvation has become, He the chief, the cornerstone. He by

the builders was refused; He was rejected by His own.

God is the Lord who shows us light; blessed be the name

of God!

Hymnal Lyrics

Thee depart; To know Thy will and keep from sin Thy

Word I cherish in my heart.

3. O blessed Lord, teach me Thy law, Thy righteous

judgments I declare; Thy testimonies make me glad, For

they are wealth beyond compare.

4. Upon Thy precepts and Thy ways My heart will meditate

with awe; Thy Word shall be my chief delight, And I will

not forget Thy law.

Hymnal Lyrics


72

O How Love I Thy Law!

1. O how love I Thy law! It is ever with me; It is my

meditation all the day in my thoughts. I have held back my

feet from the ways of this world; Thou hast given me

wisdom by Thy righteous commands.

2. O how love I Thy law! It is ever with me; I have more

understanding than the ancients of old. From Thy precepts

I learn ev‟ry false way to hate; I have more understanding

for I dwell on Thy law.

3. O how love I Thy law! It is ever with me; Thy commands

make me wiser than my unfriendly foes. O how sweet are

Thy words, more than honey is sweet! From Thy

judgments, Eternal, let me never depart.

Hymnal Lyrics


73

How I Love Thy Law, O Lord

1. How I love Thy law, O Lord, joy to me its truths afford; In

its light I wisely go to battle every foe.

Chorus: Sweeter are Thy words to me, than all other words can be;

Safe I walk, Thy truth my light, hating falsehood, loving

right.

2. Thy commandments in my heart truth and wisdom can

impart; To my eyes Thy precepts show more than my

teachers know.



right.

3. While my heart Thy word obeys, I am kept from evil

ways; From Thy law, with Thee to guide, I never turn

aside.



right.

great ways; Of Thy word I stand in awe, Oh, how I love

Thy law!

Hymnal Lyrics


74

I Hate the Thoughts of Vanity

1. I hate the thoughts of vanity but I do love Thy law. Thou

art my shield and hiding place; I on Thy word rely. All ye

who evildoers are, from me depart away; Because the

precepts of my God I purpose to obey.

2. Uphold and strengthen me according to Thy faithful word;

That I may live and of Thy hope, may never be ashamed.

O, hold me safe, and ever in Thy will let me delight; That

for the statutes of my God I may have deep respect.

3. My God will set at naught all those who from His precepts

stray; For their own lies are all in vain, and they

themselves deceive. For all the wicked of the earth are

counted but as dross; And therefore do I love Thy law and

testimonies pure.

Hymnal Lyrics


75

Unto the Hills I Lift My Eyes

1. Unto the hills I lift my eyes, O whence shall come my aid?

My help is from the Lord alone, who heav‟n and earth has

made. He will not let thy foot be moved, thy Guardian

never sleeps; With watchful and unslumb‟ring care His

own He safely keeps.

2. Thy faithful Keeper is the Lord, thy Shelter and thy Shade;

„Neath sun or moon, by day or night, thou shalt not be

afraid. From evil He will keep thee safe, for thee He will

provide; Thy going out, thy coming in, forever He will

guide.

Hymnal Lyrics


76

Unless the Lord Shall Build the House

1. Unless the Lord shall build the house, the weary builders

toil in vain; Unless the Lord the city shields, the guards

maintain a useless watch. In vain you rise ere morning

break, and late your nightly vigils keep, And bread of

anxious care partake; God gives to His beloved sleep.

2. Lo, children are the gift of God, and sons the blessing He

commands; These whom in youthful days bestowed, are

like the shafts in warriors‟ hands. And happy they whose

quivers bear full store of arrows such as these; They in the

gate are free from fear, and boldly face their enemies.

3. That man is blest who fears the Lord, who lives and walks

in all His ways; For of his labor shall he eat, and he shall

prosper all his days. His wife shall be a fruitful vine; his

children all like olive plants. Behold the man who fears the

Lord! To him His blessing will afford.

Hymnal Lyrics


77

Blest and Happy is He

1. Blest and happy is he, who obeys and fears God; He shall

earn his daily bread, and it shall be well with him. With

his wife in his house, as a vine that bears fruit; And his

sons „round his table shall like olive plants be.

2. Blest and happy is he, who obeys and fears God; Out of

Zion the Eternal will this blessing send him: All the days

of his life, he and his sons shall thrive; They shall see

Isr‟el flourish; in Jerusalem, peace.

Hymnal Lyrics


78

Praise God’s Name!

1. Hallelujah! Praise God‟s Name! Praise His name of whom

you serve! You who stand within God‟s house shall praise

His name within His courts! Praise the Lord, for He is

good; sing your praises to His name! God has chosen for

Himself, as His prized possession, Israel.

2. God is great above all gods; what He pleases that He does,

In the heav‟n and on the earth, in the seas and depths of

oceans wide; Raises mists o‟er all the earth; sends the

lightning and the rain; And in Egypt He it was, struck the

firstborn both of man and beast.

3. He sent signs and wonders great, in the midst of Egypt‟s

land; Many nations did He strike, many mighty kings for

Israel. Great Your name, Eternal God; great Your fame

forevermore! Both endure to ev‟ry age, and to generations

yet to come.

Hymnal Lyrics


79

His Mercy Never Fails

1. O give thanks unto the Lord; give thanks unto the Lord of

lords; He performs wonderful works; He stretched the

earth above the sea!

Chorus: Give thanks to God for He is good; He who alone doeth

great works!

His kindness shall always endure; His mercy never fails!

2. O give thanks unto the Lord; for it was He who made great

lights; For the day He made the sun and for the night, the

moon and stars!


great works!


3. O give thanks unto the Lord; He struck at Egypt‟s

stubborn pride; Their firstborn He took in wrath; He led

His people thru the sea!


great works!


Hymnal Lyrics


4. O give thanks unto the Lord; for mighty kings of mighty

names, He destroyed and put to shame; Isr‟el was saved

from all their foes!


great works!


Hymnal Lyrics


80

By the Waters of Babylon

1. By the waters of Babylon, there we wept and there sat

down; Hung our harps on the willow trees; Zion, yet we

remembered thee! Then our captors required of us: “Sing a

song of Zion now!” Could we sing the Eternal‟s songs by

the waters of Babylon?

2. Let my right hand forget her skill, if Jerusalem I forget; If

I fail to remember thee, let my tongue cleave unto my

mouth! But we thought of Jerusalem when we sat near

Zion‟s streams; Far above even our chief joy, we

remembered Jerusalem.

3. In that day of Jerus‟lem‟s fall, when the children of Edom

said, “Down with her, down unto the ground, even to the

foundations!” O thou daughter of Babylon, to thy ruin

hast‟ning on; Happy he that rewardeth thee, just as thou

unto us hast done.

Hymnal Lyrics


81

Lord, I Will Praise Thee!

1. Lord, I will praise Thee with my whole heart; I‟ll sing Thy

praises before all the gods; Worship and bow t‟ward Thy

holy place, Praising Thy name for Thy kind love so true.

2. More than Thy name Thy Word is enlarged; And when I

cried in that day Thou didst hear; Thou strengthened me

with Thy strength, O Lord; Kings of the earth will then

hear, praising Thee.

3. Yes, they shall hear, O Lord, of Thy ways; Then shall they

sing for Thy glory is great; Though God is high the poor

He respects; But strikes the proud down from His

sov‟reign height.

4. Though in the midst of trouble I walk, Thou wilt preserve

with Thy right hand my life. Thou wilt fulfill Thy purpose

for me; Thy steadfast love will endure evermore.

Hymnal Lyrics


82

Lord, Teach Me That I May Know

1. Lord, teach me that I may know of the way where I should

go; For to Thee I lift my soul, set me free from all my

foes. Unto Thee I flee to hide me; teach me now Thy will

to do; For Thou, Eternal, art my God; lead me by Thy

Spirit good!

2. Bring my soul from trouble and for Thy name‟s sake

quicken me; Lead me to the land of refuge, and for Thy

mercy‟s sake, Cut off all my foes, destroy them, they

which do afflict my soul, O Thou Eternal, righteous God,

for I am Thy servant, Lord.

Hymnal Lyrics


83

O Lord, Thou Art My God and King!

1. O Lord, Thou art my God and King! I‟ll Thee exalt, Thy

praise proclaim! I will Thee bless, and gladly sing forever

to Thy holy name! The Lord our God most gracious is; in

Him compassions also flow; In mercy He is rich to bless,

but unto anger He is slow.

2. To all the Lord is very good; o‟er all His works His mercy

is; Thy works all praise to Thee afford; Thy saints, O

Lord, Thy name shall bless. Thy Kingdom‟s glory they

shall show; they shall Thy power also tell; So that men‟s

sons His deeds may know, His Kingdom‟s grace that doth

excel.

Hymnal Lyrics

who made heaven, earth and sea and all things.



3. Sing unto the Eternal; let your hope be in Him; He remains

true forever; He gives justice to all.



Hymnal Lyrics


85

O Sing Ye Hallelujah!

1. O sing ye hallelujah! „Tis good our God to praise; „Tis

pleasant and becoming to Him our songs to raise. He

builds the walls of Zion, He seeks her wandering sons, He

binds their wounds and comforts the brokenhearted ones.

2. The starry hosts He numbers, He calls them all by name;

His greatness and His wisdom His wondrous works

proclaim. The meek He lifts to honor, He humbles sinful

pride; Give thanks to Him and utter His praises far and

wide.

3. No human pow‟r delights Him, no earthly pomp or pride;

He loves the meek who fear Him and in His love confide.

Then praise thy God, O Zion; His gracious aid confess; He

gives thee peace and plenty, His gifts thy children bless.

4. His statutes and His judgments He makes His people

know; To them as to no others His grace He loves to show.

For matchless grace and mercy your grateful praises bring;

To Him give thanks forever, and hallelujah sing.

Praise the Lord, from heaven of heavens, Heaven of

heavens, waters above. He commanded and created, Set

their bounds forevermore!

2. Praise the Lord from earth and its creatures, Earth and its

creatures placed by design. Beasts and cattle, birds and

reptiles Blessed and nurtured kind by kind. Praise the Lord

from mountains and hillsides, Mountains and hillsides

formed by His word. Young man, maiden, child and elder:

Praise the Lord for He is good!

3. Praise the Lord from princes and judges, Princes and

judges, servants and kings. Praise His name, alone exalted,

And His glory high above. He has raised the strength of

His people, Strength of His people, praise of His saints.

Hear, O Israel, sons and daughters, Hallelujah! Sing His

praise!

heavens and praise in the heights! Praise Him, ye angels,

praise Him, ye hosts, O Praise Him, ye sun, moon and

stars in the heights! Heaven of heavens, waters above,

Praise the Eternal, let all praise His name! When He

commanded, they were created, and By a decree fixed

their bounds evermore!

2. Praise ye the Lord! Ye mammals and deeps, too, Fire, hail

and windstorms fulfilling His word! Vapors and snow, all

hills, too, and mountains, all Cedars and fruit trees, let all

praise His name! Wild beasts and cattle, winged birds and

reptiles, Earth‟s kings and judges, all people and chiefs;

Young men and maidens, old men and children, O Praise

ye the name of our God evermore!

3. Praise ye the Lord! Praise ye the Lord! Praise from the

heavens and praise in the heights! Praise Him, ye angels,

praise Him, ye hosts, for His Glory is higher than heaven

above. God lifted high the horn of His people; He has

exalted the praise of His saints; They are a people near

unto God; they‟re the Children of Israel, praise ye the

Lord!

Hymnal Lyrics


88

I Will Sing Unto the Eternal

1. I will sing unto the Eternal; He has triumphed gloriously!

He extended His right hand and cast the foe into the sea! O

Eternal, my great salvation, You my song in liberty! O

Eternal, God of my father, You have set Your people free!

2. “I will chase them and overtake them, catch them and

divide the spoil.” Said the foe, “My hand will destroy

them”; but the foe drowned in the sea! At Your blast the

waters were gathered, columns rose and depths congealed.

Pharaoh‟s horsemen and his chariots sank into the

churning sea!

3. Men and nations heard and trembled; fear and anguish on

them fell; By the greatness of Your power You sent forth

in wrath to quell. O Eternal, who led Your people over dry

land through the sea, O Eternal, in Your mercy, You have

triumphed gloriously!

Hymnal Lyrics


89

decrees He gives you.

2. Hear, O hear, O Israel, you shall be instructed: The Lord

your God commands His words that His blessings may be

upon you. Bind as a sign upon your hand; frontlets

between your eyes they be To not forget the Lord your

God and keep the decrees He gives you.

3. Hear, O hear, O Israel, you shall be instructed: To keep

His laws within your heart and be faithful to teach your

children. Speak them by night or in the day, whether at

home or on your way, O, hear and heed, O Israel, to keep

the decrees He gives you.

Thee Will I Love, O Lord

1. Thee will I love, O Lord, my might, my rock, my help, my

saving pow‟r, My God, my trust, my shield in fight, my

great salvation, my high tow‟r! To the Eternal is my

prayer, to whom all praise we owe; So shall I by His

watchful care safely be guarded from my foe.

2. In my distress I called on God, to the Eternal raised my

prayer; My voice He from His temple heard; my cry

ascended to His ear. He bowed the heav‟ns His high

abode, came in the dark of night; He on a cherub swiftly

rode, and on the wings of wind His flight.

3. His deadly shafts around He threw; His foes dispersed in

wild retreat; Like burning darts His lightnings flew,

scattering them in sore defeat. He sent from heav‟n and

rescued me from waters swelling high; From those that

hate me set me free, and foes that stronger were than I.

4. For who but God should be adored? Who but our God can

us befriend? Who is a rock besides the Lord? Who else is

able to defend? On the Eternal I relied, and over foes

prevailed; With the Almighty on my side, their lofty walls

I fearless scaled.

Stand Up and Bless the Lord

Who would not fear His holy name and laud and magnify?

3. God is our strength and song, His love salvation brings. So

be His plan of love proclaimed and praise our God and

King.

4. Stand up and bless the Lord, the Lord your God adore.

Stand up and bless His glorious name for now and

evermore.

remotest regions shall His empire be; They that wilds

inhabit shall their worship bring, Kings shall render

tribute, nations serve our King.

Chorus: Christ shall have dominion over land and sea. Earth‟s

remotest regions shall His empire be.

2. When the needy seek Him, He will mercy show; Yea, the

weak and helpless shall His pity know; He will surely save

them from oppression‟s might, For their lives are precious

in His holy sight.

continue it shall stand secure; And in Him forever all men

shall be blessed, And all nations hail Him King, of kings

confessed.

thanks I‟ll raise.

His healing touch, redeeming grace, His mercies on us

bestowed.

3. So great His mercy is to us, As high as heav‟ns above;

And as a father sees his child, So gives He to us His love.

4. To those who turn unto the Lord, Whose covenant they

know, His righteousness will guide their sons In this life

and evermore.

5. O praise and bless Him, all His works, And all who hear

His call. The Lord has set His heav‟nly throne; From there

He rules over all.

people flow to it.

Chorus: Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord. There He will

teach all nations of His ways. We will walk in the paths of

the Lord. The Lord God reigns!

2. Then the law will go from Zion out, from Jerusalem the

Word. He will judge the people of the earth; many nations

will obey.

plowshares of their swords. Nations will not take up

swords again and will train for war no more.

of Jacob‟s God. He will teach us His ways, we will walk

in His paths, Let us go to the mountain of the Lord.

word of the Lord; He will judge the nations of the earth,

And rebuke strong and distant lands.

hooks their spears shall be made; They shall not lift up

their swords again. They will learn the ways of war no

more.

Behold, The Day Will Come

1. Behold, the day will come, the day of the Lord our God!

He shall bring all nations in that day against Jerusalem.

They shall take the city and share the spoil, in the very

midst of them; Then our God Eternal shall go forth, and

shall fight against our foes!

2. In that great day of God, our Lord shall stand on earth! On

the Mount of Olives He shall stand, and the mount shall

cleave in two! There shall be a valley of mammoth size;

by the valley you shall flee; For our God Eternal shall be

King, and shall rule over all the earth!

3. In that great day of God, t‟will be neither day nor night;

But at eventime it shall be light; it shall be one day to God.

Out from Zion shall living waters flow to the east and to

the west; Then our God Eternal shall be King; in that day

shall there be one God!

4. Behold, that day shall come, when all nations shall obey!

Those of all the nations that are left, to Jerusalem shall go;

They shall even go there from year to year, and shall keep

the Feast of Booths; There shall be one God, the Eternal,

who is King over all the earth!

stand, All nations turn unto His way unless He strike the

land.




Hymnal Lyrics


99

Consider the Lilies

1. Consider the lilies and how they grow, For they never toil

or spin you know, Yet Solomon in all his finery Was never

arrayed like one of these.

2. And look at the ravens up in the air, For they never sow or

gather there, Yet your Father feeds them from day to day.

Are you not of far more worth than they?

3. If God clothes the grass of the field this way, Which lives

and which dies in a single day, If God feeds the birds of

the heavens, too, Will He not do even more for you?

4. So therefore I say, take no anxious care, For what you

shall eat and what you shall wear, But seek first God‟s

kingdom and righteousness, And with all these things you

shall be blessed.

Hymnal Lyrics

Seek Ye First

find. Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.

Allelu, alleluia.

Hymnal Lyrics


101

Go Ye Therefore Into All the World

1. Go ye therefore into all the world; Preach the gospel unto

ev‟ry one; Teach all nations to observe all things I Have

commanded you. Baptize them into the Father‟s name, In

the Holy Spirit‟s and the Son‟s; Lo, I shall be with you to

the end; Lo, I am with you alway.

2. Those who have believ‟d and are baptized Shall be saved

while others are condemn‟d; Then as for those who now

do believe these Signs shall surely follow: They shall cast

out demons in My name, They shall not be hurt by deadly

things; And they shall lay hands upon the sick, And the

sick shall be made well.

3. Christ was taken up into the heav‟ns After He had spoken

all these words; There His Father did receive Him and

place Him at His right hand. His disciples went out as He

said; And they preach‟d the gospel ev‟rywhere; Christ

worked with them and confirmed the word, By those signs

which followed them.

Hymnal Lyrics


102

God Speaks to Us

1. God speaks to us; by His great pow‟r we‟re led; Let not

your hearts become disquieted. You trust in God; believe

and trust in Me; You trust in God; believe and trust in Me.

2. In God‟s vast realm are many offices; Were it not so, I

surely would have said; For I must go, a place for you

prepare; For I must go, a place for you prepare.

3. And when this place has been prepared for you, I will

return; with Me you shall be too; So that where I am you

may also be; So that where I am you may also be.

Hymnal Lyrics


103

Not Many Wise Men Now Are Called

1. Not many wise men now are called, not many noble

brethren, Not many mighty chosen ones, for you see your

calling: Sons of God, you are called, not because of

greatness; Even the wisdom of mankind is to God but

foolish.

2. God chose the foolish of the world; He chose the weak and

base things; He chose the things which are despised, that

no flesh should glory. Sons of God, you are called, not

because of greatness; You who are called and now in

Christ, shall confound the mighty.

3. Even the foolishness of God, wiser by far than man is;

Even the weakness of our God, stronger far than man is.

Sons of God, you are called, not because of greatness; Let

them who glory boast in Christ, not in their own greatness.

Hymnal Lyrics


104

The Trumpet Shall Sound

1. Behold, I show, I show you all a mystery: We shall not

sleep, but we shall all be changed. In just a while, the

twinkling of an eye, you‟ll see, The trumpet shall sound,

and we shall all be raised.

Chorus: But thanks to God, who giveth us the victory Through

Christ the Lord, Eternal, Living One. Always abound and

do the work He‟s given me, Beloved of God and Christ,

His chosen sons.

2. O death, O grave, where is your sting, your victory? The

sting of death is sin, defined by law. And when this mortal

puts on immortality, The trumpet shall sound, rejoice

forevermore.

Chorus: But thanks to God, who giveth us the victory Through

Christ the Lord, Eternal, Living One. Always abound and

do the work He‟s given me, Beloved of God and Christ,

His chosen sons.

Hymnal Lyrics


105

Ambassadors For Christ

1. If anyone is in Christ, then he is a new creation; The old

has passed away and all things are made new. The

ministry of our Christ, one of reconciliation, Making peace

with God the Father and with all our brethren, too.

Chorus: We are therefore Christ‟s ambassadors and called to be

God‟s sons, To declare His holy Kingdom, that His will on

earth be done. Be reconciled to God and let us commit our

hearts and minds; Ambassadors for Jesus Christ, the

Savior of all mankind.

2. As fellow workers with Him, it‟s the day of our salvation;

So let us not receive the grace of God in vain. With purity

and with love, let us serve our Lord and Master; As we

press toward His Kingdom, let us never be ashamed.






3. God said He‟s dwelling with us, and He‟s walking with

His people; He promised He would guide and lead the

Hymnal Lyrics


path we‟ve trod. And now He‟s dwelling in us, and we are

His sons and daughters; For we are the holy temple of the

everliving God.






Hymnal Lyrics


106

If I Have Not Charity

1. Though I speak with tongues of men, though I speak as

angels, If I have not charity I am become as nothing. I

become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal; With the

gift of prophecy, still I am as nothing.

2. Though I know all mysteries, though I have all knowledge,

If I have not charity I am become as nothing. Though I

give all I possess, let my body burn; If I have not charity,

then I am as nothing.

3. Charity rejoiceth not in iniquity, But rejoiceth in the truth;

believes and bears all things; Hopes all things; endures all

things; never thinketh evil. If I have not charity, then I am

as nothing.

4. Whether there be prophecies, whether there be knowledge,

These shall likewise pass away, but charity remaineth.

Faith and hope and charity, all of these abide; But among

the three of these, charity is greatest.

Hymnal Lyrics


107

Think on These Things

1. Rejoice in the Lord always. I say, rejoice! Let gentleness

be seen by all, the Lord is near.

2. Don‟t worry at all, but go to God in prayer. Tell Him your

needs and give Him thanks and find His peace.

3. The peace that transcends our ev‟ry human thought Will

guard your heart and guard your mind in Jesus Christ.

4. Whatever is true, is noble, always right, Is lovely, pure and

praiseworthy, think on these things.

Hymnal Lyrics


108

A Chosen Generation

1. You‟re a chosen generation, royal priesthood for His

throne; You‟re a blessed and holy nation; you‟re a people

for His own. So you may declare His praises, do what‟s

pleasing in His sight, He has called you out of darkness to

His glorious, marv‟llous light.

2. Once you were not called a people in a world that‟s gone

astray; Now you‟ve heeded His great calling, showing

forth His will and way. You had not received the mercy of

Eternal God above; Now you are the blessed receivers of

His mercy and His love.

3. You‟re a chosen generation, royal priesthood for His

throne; You‟re a blessed and holy nation; you‟re a people

for His own. So you may declare His praises, do what‟s

pleasing in His sight, He has called you out of darkness to

His glorious, marv‟llous light.

109

The New Jerusalem

1. When the judgment years are ended and death is cast

away, The first heav‟n and the first earth in fire shall pass

away. From new heaven to new earth shall come the new

Jerusalem. And the dwelling of the Father at last shall be

with men.

2. Like a bride dressed for the bridegroom the city of God

shall be. Her walls shall shine like jasper, of gold shall be

her streets. Her gates are twelve in number, an angel at

each one, And each of her foundations is set with precious

stones.

3. From the Father‟s throne, a river as clear as crystal flows,

And on its banks forever the tree of life shall grow. Its

leaves shall heal the nations, its fruit shall be for food. And

there shall be no more curse there, but all shall be for

good.

4. They shall need no sun by day there, nor moon to shine by

night, For the glory of their God and the Lamb shall be its

light. His saints shall reign forever, from death they shall

be free. God will dwell among His people for all eternity.

Zion long before; God commanded a blessing of life

Chorus: How good and how pleasant for brethren to be Dwelling

safely together in sweet harmony.

united, together we stand, At peace with the Heavenly

Father and Son. When we come into the knowledge and

unity of God, And we grow and we follow the steps that

Jesus trod,



3. One body, one spirit, one Lord and one faith, One holy

Creator God, the Father of all; One baptism picturing life

evermore, One hope and salvation, just as we are called.

2. We are God‟s loved ones, the Bride of Christ our Lord,

For we have known it, the love of God outpoured; Now let

us learn how to return the gift of love once giv‟n; O let us

share each joy and care, and live with a zeal that pleases

heav‟n.

3. We are the Body of which the Lord is Head, Called to

obey Him, now risen from the dead; He wills us be a

family diverse yet truly one; O let us give our gifts to God,

and so shall His work on earth be done.

4. We are a temple, the Spirit‟s dwelling place, Formed in

great weakness, a cup to hold God‟s grace; We die alone,

for on its own, each ember loses fire; Yet joined in one the

flame burns on to give warmth and light and to inspire.

Great God Who Made the Universe

1. Great God who made the universe and knows the stars by

name, Who set the sun and moon and all the planets in

their frame, Who made a billion galaxies and scattered

them through space, Who made a jewel and called it earth

and gave it honored place.

2. He made the day, He made the night, He made the wind

that blows, He made the sky, He made the land, He made

the rain and snow, He made the mountains and the plains,

He made the shining seas, He blessed the earth with

greenery and shaded it with trees.

3. All living things on earth He made, yes, ev‟ry beast that

breathes, The birds that frolic in the sky, the whales that

sport at sea, All cattle and all creeping things, all creatures

great and small, And then a man and woman with

dominion o‟er them all.

4. The seventh day He made a time of rest for God and man

That we might ever mindful be of His eternal plan. Why

did God labor mightily to make the earth we see? To give

a cradle to all life and grow His family.

5. When Christ shall come to earth again, and curses shall be

done, And beautiful as earth was made, it shall again

become, But even still more beautiful new heav‟n and

Hymnal Lyrics


earth shall be, And God at last shall dwell with men for all

eternity.

Let All Things Now Living

1. Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving To God

the Creator triumphantly raise, Who fashioned and made

us, protected and stayed us, Who guideth us on to the end

of our days. His banners are o‟er us, His light goes before

us, A pillar of fire shining forth in the night, „Til shadows

have vanished and darkness is banished, As forward we

travel from light into light.

2. His law He enforces: the stars in their courses, And sun in

its orbit, obediently shine; The hills and the mountains, the

rivers and fountains, The deeps of the ocean proclaim Him

divine. We, too, should be voicing our love and rejoicing;

With glad adoration a song let us raise, „Til all things now

living unite in thanksgiving To God in the highest,

hosanna and praise!

Hymnal Lyrics

distress; Praise Him, still the same forever, slow to chide,

He knows; In His hands He gently bears us, rescues us

from all our foes; Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely as His mercy

it is gone; But, while mortals rise and perish, God endures

unchanging on; Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the high Eternal

One!

stars obey.

2. I sing the goodness of the Lord, that filled the earth with

food; He formed the creatures with His word, and then

proclaimed them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are

displayed, where-e‟er I turn my eye: If I survey the ground

I tread or gaze upon the sky!

3. There‟s not a plant or flow‟r below, but makes Thy glories

known, And clouds arise and tempests blow, by order

from Thy throne; While all that borrows life from Thee is

ever in Thy care, And ev‟rywhere that man can be, Thou,

God, art present there.

Hymnal Lyrics


146

In Days of Old

1. In days of old the prophets told Messiah would appear,

From Jesse‟s root a Branch would grow, God‟s Kingdom

it would bear. A mighty King would come and free His

people from captivity, And rule the nations with a rod of

iron and of fear.

2. So no one knew until the shepherds heard the angels sing,

A baby born that autumn day was Israel‟s promised king.

He grew into His ministry, He taught with great authority,

And gave His life to pay the price of mankind‟s

wandering.

3. Was this the great Messiah then, was this the Son of Man?

Instead of Judah‟s lion God had sent a humble lamb, From

sin He set all people free, from death He rose

triumphantly, And then ascended into heav‟n to sit at

God‟s right hand.

4. Oh, come again, Lord Jesus, but this time with pow‟r and

might, For darkness overwhelms the earth, now come and

bring Your light, Oh, come to us, Immanuel, oh, come and

with Your people dwell, And rule the world with equity,

with love and truth and right.

Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed

Thy hand hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord,

in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and

mortal men and all things created make reply. The people

of the Hebrews with psalms before Thee went; Our praise

from above; Let not one day pass by without showing your

Praise the Lord

from mortal eye. Angels praising, voices raising, to the

great Eternal One High enthroned in rainbow splendor,

brighter than the noonday sun.

2. Praise the Lord, our great Creator, stretching forth a

mighty hand; Fiery suns and distant planets, moving all at

His command. Tempests roaring, mountains soaring,

witness to His pow‟r and might; All the pomp and pride of

nations are as nothing in His sight.

3. Praise the Lord, our loving Shepherd, calling to His flock

From the Realms of Unseen Glory

1. From the realms of unseen glory, Jesus came to earth

below, To a world of hate and anguish the Creator‟s love

to show. He laid down a life eternal to assume the form of

man, To a world of helpless sinners He reveal‟d a

wondrous plan.

2. As a Lamb is led to slaughter, He was offer‟d up to death,

All our sins He gladly carried, even to His final breath. So

shall angels bring Him honor, and in praise their voices

ring, So the saints shall kneel before Him when the earth

receives its King.

3. As the splendor of the heavens when the sun shines forth

in might, In the Kingdom of our Father shall the righteous

shine as bright. Everlasting are the blessings the Creator

has in store. Everlasting are the pleasures to be ours

forevermore.

Through life‟s storm and tempest our Guide hast Thou

been. When perils o‟ertake us, escape Thou wilt make us,

And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win.

Eternal, glad anthems we raise. Thy strong arm will guide

us; our God is beside us; To Thee, our great Redeemer,

forever be praise.

our High Priest has risen and lives. He has shown us His

mercy and wonderful love; He is faithful and just to

forgive.

Reconciled by the death of His Son. We are bought with a

price, and we‟re saved by His life; By His grace, we‟re at

believe and shall not be ashamed. And our Captain has

justified, made us at one; And true liberty can be

proclaimed.

Remove me from Your loving hand.

All Things Work Together

1. Joseph, son of Isr‟el, was by his brothers sold; Caused by

jealous envy of what his dreams foretold. Then, far from

home in servitude and into prison‟s dread, Through it all

young Joseph was by his Creator led.

Chorus: All things work together, all things work for good; To

God‟s loving children called according to His Word.

2. Jesus‟ own disciple betrayed his Master‟s love; Thirty

coins of silver did buy Messiah‟s blood. A night and day

of torment, a death too hard to know; Seemed as though

all hope was gone until the stone was rolled.



3. In this life there‟s sorrow and all too often pain, But these

things shall fade away as we begin to reign. One

hundredfold He gives us for things we give for Him; His

great joy and family and life that never ends.



Hymnal Lyrics


4. Joseph, we remember, was Egypt‟s greatest one; Jesus,

firstborn Son of God, is by His Father‟s throne. Now, none

God Will See Us Through

1. We all know doubts and fears, life is full of toil and tears,

Still we‟re told, have no cares, God will see us through,

See the birds on the wing, see the lilies blossoming, God

loves all living things, God will see us through.

2. Age of man shall grow old, love of many shall wax cold,

Ever fast we shall hold, God will see us through, Earth

shall grow dark and drear, Jacob‟s trouble shall appear, To

the end, through the years, God will see us through.

3. Till Christ comes, we‟ll endure, living God‟s way true and

pure, Day by day, come what may, God will see us

through, Earth may shake, stars may fall, we will stand

right through it all Till the last trumpet call, God will see

us through.

endurance, our trust in You increase.

2. Thank you, Lord, for Your mercy and for grace ev‟ry day;

Thank you for Your sacrifice, all our sins to wash away.

Give us daily repentance, and cleanse us from our sin;

Please restore the joy of salvation, Your peace and love

within.

3. Thank you, Lord, for the comfort that You grant in our

need; May we give it back again to others as You lead. Fill

our hearts with compassion, forgiveness and concern;

Give us healing faith in Your Spirit, help us Your way to

learn.

Word; Thank you for the fellowship, and the Shepherd‟s

voice we‟ve heard. Let your mind be within us, a servant‟s

heart instill; Make us one with You and each other, Your

purpose to fulfill.

The Church’s One Foundation

1. The Church‟s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; She

is His new creation by water and the Word; From heav‟n

He came and sought her to be His holy bride; With His

own blood He bought her, and for her life He died.

2. Elect from ev‟ry nation, yet one o‟er all the earth, Her

charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth; His

saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up, “How

long?” And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of

song.

3. „Mid toil and tribulation, and tumults of her war, She waits

the consummation of peace forevermore; Till with the

vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, And God‟s true

Church victorious shall be the Church at rest.

struggle not with flesh and blood, but with the evil realm.

So take up all your weapons and stand firm to the end.

weapons of our warfare are from God‟s mighty hand.

Stand therefore with the belt of truth secured around your

waist. And righteousness your breastplate fixed firmly in

its place.

Gird on your sword for battle, the very Word of God. The

gospel of His peace will hold you steadfast on your way,

And with salvation‟s helmet protect your thoughts each

day.

Put on the Lord‟s whole armor; against the foe we fight.

Above all take the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts,

With pray‟r and supplication abounding in your hearts.

Hymnal Lyrics


171

One Faith, One Love

1. Throughout the earth, our Father, we revere Thee. Led by

Thy Son, together we stand true. One faith, one love, Thy

Spirit binds us firmly As sons and daughters blessed in

Thy view. From many lands we raise our eyes toward

Thee, Our voices joined as one great family.

2. Our many lives are woven, fitly blended As tapestry

created by Thy hand. Within each thread, Thy glory is

extended, With ev‟ry color, quality and strand. Upon Thy

loom, our diff‟rences become one: A pleasing tribute to

Thee and Thy Son.

3. From many nations of the earth do we hail. With many

tongues we form our praise to Thee. Across the seas, from

mountain, isle and deep vale, Thy sons and daughters in

one love agree. And as we strengthen one another in Thee,

Thy Spirit binds in perfect harmony.

Have One Mind

1. Have one mind, be of one accord; be steadfast, serve

unselfishly; Joined together, standing fast, to share God‟s

grace with humility. Do all things without complaining;

your good works come from above. Christ will comfort

and console you with His fellowship and love.

2. Ev‟ry knee should bow before Him; ev‟ry tongue His

praises make. We are called to a great salvation and if

need suffer for His sake. All who worship Christ in spirit

have no confidence in man. Righteousness through faith is

blameless; walk according to God‟s plan.

3. Have one love, be one in spirit, knowing that our God is

near. Draw to Him with supplications and rejoice for He

will hear. Let His peace then guard your hearts and minds

through Jesus Christ our Lord. We will be transformed to

glory. Have one mind, be of one accord.

Moses’ New Song

1. The Lord our God was Israel‟s strength and saved them

that great day, He brought their foes into the sea, then

washed them all away. With mighty hand and awesome

pow‟r our God had overthrown All Israel‟s foes, as stubble

burned, or sunken like a stone. Israel sang unto the Lord

for God had triumphed gloriously, All the horses and their

riders He had thrown into the sea.

2. There‟s no one like our glorious God in wondrous

holiness, With mercy and with tender care He saves those

who are His. But fear consumes the hearts of those outside

God‟s free reprieve, Who know He is, and see His works

but never do believe. We now sing unto the Lord for He

has triumphed gloriously, Fear and doubt and blind

confusion He removed to set us free.

3. In God‟s great plan and in His time there‟s hope for

ev‟ryone, He‟ll bring the day when Christ will reign and

unbelief is gone. Man‟s mounted foes of faithless fear and

godless enmity Like horse and rider, long ago, He‟ll bury

in the sea. We will sing unto the Lord for He will triumph

gloriously, He‟ll install a godly kingdom built to last

eternally.

word of Jesus, going on before; Christ, the royal Master,

leads against the foe; Forward into battle, see His banners

go!

Chorus: Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war; With the

word of Jesus, going on before.

2. Like a mighty army, moves the Church of God; Brothers,

we are treading, where the saints have trod; We are not

divided, all one body we; One in hope and doctrine; one in

charity.



3. Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane;

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain; Gates of hell

can never „gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ‟s

own promise, which can never fail.



Hymnal Lyrics


4. Onward, then, ye people! Join our happy throng; Blend

with ours your voices, in the triumph song; Glory, laud

and honor, unto Christ the King; This through countless

ages, men and angels sing.

Forgive and You Shall Be Forgiven

1. How great is the love of our Father, who calls us His dear

sons! When Christ comes again, we shall be like Him,

we‟ll see Him as He is. And this is the love He has shown

us, that Christ laid down His life for all, So we ought to

lay down our lives for our brothers, to this end you are

called.

Chorus: Forgive and you shall be forgiven; Show mercy and this

you will have too. Do good to all, even your enemies. Be

merciful to others as your Father is to you.

2. When bringing your gift to the altar, you think of an

offense; You go and become one with your brother, then

bring your gift again. And should someone sin against

you, go see him, you and he alone; Be kind, have

compassion, let go of your anger and be at peace again.




3. To all our example of living should be a shining light. Be

willingly under authority, give due respect to all. And if

you endure pain and suff‟ring from unjust cause or

before us; trust Him who judges all.

Covenant People

2. They shall teach no more each man his friend, By saying,

“Know the Lord,” for they shall all know Me, Even from

the least unto the great. And I will then forgive iniquity.

3. I‟ll be merciful unto their sins, And their unrighteousness I

will remember not. This shall be the covenant I‟ll make

With Judah and the House of Israel.

living law upon their hearts. I will be to them a loving

God, And they shall be to Me a people.

1. God be with you till we meet again; By His counsels

guide, uphold you, With His shepherd‟s care enfold you;

God be with you till we meet again.

2. God be with you till we meet again; „Neath His wings of

shelter, hide you, Daily bread He will provide you; God be

with you till we meet again.

3. God be with you till we meet again; If a trial should

confound you, God will put His arms around you; God be

with you till we meet again.

4. God be with you till we meet again; May His love be ever

o‟er you, Strike death‟s threat‟ning wave before you; God

be with you till we meet again.

United We Stand

1. United we stand, hearts that are grateful; to God be the

glory and to His Son. Myst‟ry of ages revealed in the

pages Of God‟s holy Word, inspired of love.

Chorus: United we pray let us always remember To honor these

days which are holy time. United in spirit we worship

together With purpose and oneness of mind. United we

stand, faithful and true to the One who is Lord Most High.

2. United we stand, fathers and sons who believe in the holy

laws of God. Chosen and called to love His

commandments, We lead by example as Christ has shown.

Chorus: United we pray let us always remember To honor these




3. United we stand, mothers and daughters who nurture the

hearts of the family. Chosen and called to love His

commandments, Like Deb‟rah and Ruth let us strive to be.

God’s Message

1. We all have one foundation: the prophets and the law. And

varied gifts we offer to Christ the Lord of all. God sent us

all His message, He sent it from above, That Jesus gave

His life for us so all could know God‟s love.

2. We now are called to serve Him, the purpose that He

came, To give us life eternal, to praise His holy name.

We‟ll touch the lives of others with God‟s inspiring grace;

And all mankind and nations will know God‟s warm

embrace.

3. O let us join together! O let the song be heard! O let us all

be messengers for God‟s redeeming Word. O let us hear

His message, He sent it from above, That Jesus gave His

life for us so all could know God‟s love.

Hymnal Lyrics


183

O God of Every Nation

1. O God of ev‟ry nation, of ev‟ry race and land, Redeem the

whole creation with Your almighty hand; Where hate and

fear divide us and bitter threats are hurled, In love and

mercy guide us and heal our strifetorn world.

2. From search for wealth and power and scorn of truth and

right, From trust in bombs that shower destruction through

the night, From pride of race and station and blindness to

Your way, Deliver ev‟ry nation, Eternal God, we pray.

3. Lord, strengthen those who labor that all may find release

From fear of rattling saber, from dread of war‟s increase;

When hope and courage falter, Lord let Your voice be

heard; With faith that none can alter, Your servants

undergird.

4. Keep bright in us the vision of days when war shall cease,

When hatred and division give way to love and peace, „Til

dawns the morning glorious when peace on earth shall

reign, And Christ shall rule victorious o‟er all the world‟s

domain.

Hymnal Lyrics

Lamb of God

1. “I‟m the Alpha, Omega, beginning and end,” Says our

Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed is he who will read

and attend these words, Written in the great Book of Life.

Grace and peace to you from the One who was, And who

is, and yet is to come. Faithful witness, firstborn from the

dead, Jesus Christ the Lamb of God.

2. Seven churches among golden candlesticks And to all, see

you heed what I say. For if you overcome and endure all

things, Upon you will I write My name. I am He who died

and arose from the grave, But behold I live evermore.

Faithful witness, firstborn from the dead, Jesus Christ the

Lamb of God.

3. Such a myst‟ry concerning this plan that We made, Set

before the foundation of earth. But to you it‟s revealed;

you may understand, This great pearl renowned for its

worth. Grace and peace to you from the One who was,

And who is and yet is to come. Faithful witness, firstborn

from the dead, Jesus Christ the Lamb of God.

Hymnal Lyrics


185

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath

are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His

terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on.

Chorus: Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

2. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound

retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His

judgment seat; O be swift my soul, to answer Him, be

jubilant my feet! Our God is marching on.


Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

3. In the beauty of the autumn Christ was born across the sea,

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;

As He lives to make men holy, let us live to make men

free! While God is marching on.


Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.

Worthy of Worship

1. Worthy of worship, worthy of praise, Worthy of honor and

glory; Worthy of all the glad songs we can sing, Worthy of

all of the off‟rings we bring.

Chorus: You are worthy, Father, Creator. You are worthy, Savior,

Sustainer. You are worthy, worthy and wonderful, Worthy

of worship and praise.

2. Worthy of rev‟rence, worthy of fear, Worthy of love and

devotion; Worthy of bowing and bending of knees,

Worthy of all this and added to these.

Redeemer, Wonderful Counselor, Comforter, Friend,

Hymn of Unity

1. How good and how pleasant when brethren dwell together

In unity sharing the love of God forever; As oil to flow

from head to toe down Aaron‟s beard and robe, And as the

dew on holy hills, the Lord‟s blessing evermore shall

show.

2. Though many the members to each the Spirit giveth The

gifts for each function so that the body liveth, For eye, or

ear, or hand, „tis clearly nothing of its own, But with the

Lord as head the members do what each cannot do alone.

3. The Lord shall be seeking His bride when He returneth,

His wife in white linen, the Church for whom He yearneth;

As we await the wedding great so let us strive to be

Jerusalem bedecked with gems of truth, love and light for

all to see!

Hymnal Lyrics


188

Crown Him With Many Crowns

1. Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne.

Hark! How the heav‟nly anthem drowns all music but its

own! Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee,

And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity.

2. Crown Him the Lord of life; who triumphed o‟er the

grave; Who rose victorious to the strife for those He came

to save. His glories now we sing, who died and rose on

high, Who died, eternal life to bring, and lives that death

may die.

3. Crown Him the Lord of Lords, to Him our voices raise.

Crown Him the Lord of peace and love, who over all doth

reign. To Thee be endless praise, for Thou for us hast died;

Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days adored and

magnified.

Hymnal Lyrics

City of God

1. Oh, a new Jerusalem‟s coming from heaven; It‟s coming

from God down unto a new earth. God will be there; He

will dwell with His people. All of God‟s people will have

a rebirth.

Chorus: Christ is the Alpha and the Omega. He sent His message,

He gave us His Word; Blessed are all those who do His

commandments For they may enter the city of God.

2. There will be no need of the sun nor the moon for The

glory of God will be giving us light. Nations will come

bringing honor and glory. God‟s healing water will make

all things right.

Chorus: Christ is the Alpha and the Omega. He sent His message,



3. There will be no death, no more sorrow nor crying For we

know God‟s promise is faithful and true. God‟s throne will

be in the midst of the city. God will be there, ever living

with you.

Chorus:

It Won’t Be Long Now

1. It won‟t be long now till the world is at peace, Till troubles

have ceased, it won‟t be long. It won‟t be long now till the

beauty we see For the whole world will be, it won‟t be

long.

Chorus: The lamb will peacefully dwell with the lion, The leopard

will lie down with the kid. The wolf and the bear will no

longer be wild, Little child, it won‟t be long now.

2. It won‟t be long now till all people join hands From many

a land, it won‟t be long. It won‟t be long now till the

children will smile and will laugh all the while, it won‟t be

long.

Chorus: The lamb will peacefully dwell with the lion, The leopard

will lie down with the kid. The wolf and the bear will no

longer be wild, Little child, it won‟t be long now.

When Christ Shall Come

1. When Christ shall come, all heav‟n shall join the song,

Salvation, glory, pow‟r to God belong. Hallelujah, the

Lord Almighty reigns; Hallelujah, the Christ has come

again.

2. The wedding of the Lamb shall come at last, And blest are

they whom God calls to the Feast. Prepare the bride in

linen white and clean To meet her Lord, when Christ shall

come again.

3. From out of heav‟n an angel shall come down, And by His

hand all evil shall be bound. The cause of sin and death

shall be made plain For all to know, when Christ shall

come again.

4. When time is done, the dead shall rise again; They shall be

judged before the great white throne, And God Himself at

last shall dwell with men Forevermore, when Christ has

come again.
