O Love of God, How Strong and True

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 113 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true! eternal and yet ever new, uncomprehended and unbought, beyond all knowledge and all thought! O love of God, how deep and great, far deeper than man's deepest hate; self-fed, self-kindled like the light, changeless, eternal, infinite. 2 O heav'nly love, how precious still, in days of weariness and ill, in nights of pain and helplessness, to heal, to comfort, and to bless! O wide-embracing, wondrous love! We read you in the sky above, we read you in the earth below, in seas that swell, and streams that flow. 3 We read you best in him who came to bear for us the cross of shame; sent by the Father from on high, our life to live, our death to die. We read your pow'r to bless and save, e'en in the darkness of the grave; still more in resurrection light we read the fulness of your might. 4 O love of God, our shield and stay through all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in you we rest, forever safe, forever blest. We will exalt you, God and King, and we will ever praise your name; we will extol you ev'ry day, and evermore your praise proclaim.

Before the Throne of God Above

Author: Charitie Bancroft Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea, a great High Priest, whose name is Love who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on His hands, my name is written on His heart; I know that while in heav'n He stands no tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look, and see Him there who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free, for God the just is satisfied to look on Him and pardon me. 3 Behold Him there! the risen Lamb! my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! One with Himself, I cannot die; my soul is purchased by His blood; my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Savior and my God. Topics: Salvation Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

Ye Holy Souls in God Rejoice

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye holy souls in God rejoice, Your Maker's praise becomes your voice; Great is your theme, your songs be new: Sing of His name, His Word, His ways, His works of nature and of grace, How wise and holy, just and true! Justice and truth He ever loves, And the whole earth his goodness proves. 2 His Word the heav'nly arches spread: How wide they shine from north to south, And, by the spirit of His mouth; Were all the starry armies made. He gathers the wide flowing seas; Those wat'ry treasures know their place; In the vast storehouse of the deep, He spoke and gave all nature birth. 3 The fires and seas, and heav'n and earth, His everlasting orders keep. Let mortals tremble and adore, A God of such resistless pow'r. Nor dare indulge their feeble rage; Vain are your thoughts and weak your hands, But His eternal counsel stands, And rules the world from age to age. Scripture: Psalm 33 Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: O day of peace that dimly shines Lyrics: 1 O day of peace that dimly shines Through all our hopes and prayers and dreams, Guide us to justice, truth, and love, Delivered from our selfish schemes. May swords of hate fall from our hands, Our hearts from envy find release, Till by God’s grace our warring world Shall see Christ’s promised reign of peace. 2 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb, Nor shall the fierce devour the small; As beasts and cattle calmly graze, A little child shall lead them all. Then enemies shall learn to love, All creatures find their true accord; The hope of peace shall be fulfilled, For all the earth shall know the Lord. Topics: Peace Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

I Will Exalt My God and King

Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I will exalt my God and King, and I will ever praise your name. I will extol you every day and evermore your praise proclaim. You, LORD, are greatly to be praised; your greatness is beyond all thought. From age to age your people tell the mighty wonders you have wrought. 2 On your most glorious majesty and on your deeds my mind will dwell. Your deeds will fill the world with awe, and all your greatness I will tell. Your matchless goodness and your grace your people will commemorate; and all your truth and righteousness our joyful song will celebrate. 3 The LORD our God is rich in grace, tender to us, compassionate. His anger is most slow to rise; his love and kindness are most great. The LORD is good in all his ways; his creatures know his constant care. To all his works his love extends; all creatures in his mercies share. 4 All you have made will praise you, LORD; your mighty acts your saints will show, till all the peoples on the earth the splendor of your kingdom know. Eternal is your kingdom, LORD, forever strong and ever sure; while generations rise and die, your glorious reign will still endure. 5 The LORD is faithful to his word; he will extend his gracious hand. The LORD upholds the faltering feet and makes the weak securely stand. The eyes of all look up to you for food and drink, which you supply; your open hand is bountiful, and every need you satisfy. 6 The LORD is just in all his ways; in all his works the LORD is kind, and all who call on him in truth in him a present helper find. He will fulfill the heart's desire of those who fear him and obey. The LORD will surely hear their cry, will save them when to him they pray. 7 The LORD in grace preserves his saints, redeeming those who love his name. The wicked he will overthrow and put his enemies to shame. My mouth will sing the glorious praise of God, whom earth and heaven adore. Let every creature praise his name forever and forevermore!

At Even, When the Sun Had Set

Author: Henry Twells Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. At even, when the sun had set, The sick, O Lord, around you lay. Oh, in what diverse pains they met! Oh, with what joy they went away! Once more 'tis eventide, and we Opprest with various ills draw near. What if your form we cannot see? We know and feel you are still here. 2. O Savior Christ, our woes dispel, For some are sick and some are sad, And some have never loved you well, And some have lost the love they had, And some are pressed with worldly care, And some are tried with sinful doubt, And some such grievous passions tear, As only you can cast them out— 3. And some have found the world is vain, Yet on the world they still depend; And some have friends who give them pain, Yet have not sought in you a friend; And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin, And they who want to serve you best Are conscious most of wrong within. 4. O Savior Christ, both God and man, You had been troubled, tempted, tried; Your kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds our shame would hide; Your touch has still its ancient pow’r; No word from you can fruitless fall; Hear, in this solemn evening hour, And in your mercy heal us all.

Let those be warned who spurn God's name, let rulers all obey God's word; for justice shall bring tyrants shame: let every creature praise the Lord! 2 Sing praise within these hallowed walls, worship beneath the dome of heaven; by cymbals' sounds and trumpets' calls let praises fit for God be given: with strings and brass and wind rejoice — then, join our song in full accord all living things with breath and voice: let every creature praise the Lord!
