God Of My Mercy And My Praise

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise, Thy glory is my song, Though sinners speak against Thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy Son on earth was found, With cruel slanders, false and vain, They compassed Him around. 3 Their miseries His compassion move, Their peace He still pursued; They render hatred for His love, And evil for His good. 4 Their malice raged without a cause, Yet, with His dying breath, He prayed for murderers on His cross, And blessed His foes in death. 5 Lord, shall Thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes? Give me a soul akin to Thine To love my enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my side engage, And, in my Savior’s name, I shall defeat their pride and rage Who slander and condemn. Used With Tune: PENMAENMAWR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

The LORD Is King, Enthroned in Might

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The LORD is king enthroned in might Lyrics: 1 The LORD is king enthroned in might on wings of cherubim; he reigns in holiness and light, bow down to worship him! Beyond all majesty and praise his holy name confess; the king of everlasting days, who rules in righteousness. 2 Of old to priests and prophets known with trembling, fear and awe, he gave his people, set in stone, his statutes and his law. By those who called upon his name the voice of God was heard, his presence shown in cloud and flame when they obeyed his word. 3 O magnify the God of grace who hears his people's cry, and come with songs before his face, exalt his name on high! To see at last, by grace restored from sin and all its stains, the holy mountain of the Lord where God in glory reigns.

To those who name his name in fear, Salvation is at hand! And soon his glory shall appear And dwell within our land. 2 Then truth shall brighten ev'ry eye Like flowers fresh unfurled; And justice, firmly throned on high, Shall reign throughout the world. O Lord, who made both great and small By power measureless, Arise and come as judge of all; Our wicked ways redress. 3 Then all the lands which you have made Shall come and bend the knee And, bowing low before their Lord, Confess your sovereignty. For greatness, Lord, is yours alone, And, by your mighty hand, The rule established by your throne Forevermore shall stand.

A Thousand Years Have Come and Gone

Author: Thomas Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A thousand years have come and gone, and near a thousand more, Since happier light from Heaven shone than ever shone before: And in the hearts of old and young a joy most joyful stirred. That sent such news from tongue to tongue as ears had never heard. 2. Then angels on their starry way felt bliss unfelt before, For news that men should be as they to darkened earth they bore; So toiling men and spirits bright a first communion had, And in meek mercy’s rising light were each exceeding glad. 3. And we are glad, and we will sing, as in the days of yore; Come all, and hearts made ready bring, to welcome back once more The day when first on wintry earth a summer change began, And, dawning in a lowly birth uprose the Light of man. 4. For trouble such as men must bear from childhood to fourscore, He shared with us, that we might share His joy forevermore; And twice a thousand years of grief of conflict, and of sin, May tell how large the harvest sheaf His patient love shall win.

The Love of Christ, Who Died for Me

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The love of Christ, who died for me Is more than mind can know, His mercy measureless and free To meet the debt I owe. He came my sinful cause to plead, He laid his glories by, For me a homeless life to lead, A shameful death to die. 2 My sins I only see in part, My self-regarding ways; The secret places of my heart Lie bare before his gaze. For me the price of sin he paid; My sins beyond recall Are all alike on Jesus laid, he died to bear them all. 3 O living Lord of life, for whom The heavens held their breath, To see, triumphant from the tomb, A love that conquers death, Possess my heart that it may be Your kingdom without end, O Christ who died for love of me And lives to be my friend.
