God, We Praise You

Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by Your church adored: All creation shows Your glory, Heav'n and earth draw near Your throne, Singing "Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!" 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, Saints who set their world ablaze, Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, Join one growing song of praise, while Your church on earth confesses One majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the king of glory, Everlasting Son of God; Humble was Your Virgin Mother, Hard the lonely path You trod: By Your cross is sin defeated, Hell confronted face to face, Heaven opened to believers, Sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, You will judge the world You made; Lord, in mercy help Your servants For whose freedom You have paid: Raise us up from dust to glory, Guard us from all sin today. King enthroned above all praises, Save Your people, God, we pray. Topics: Te Deum Used With Tune: NETTLETON

Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness

Author: Rusty Edwards Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness With a liberating light. Praise the One who frees the pris'ners, Turning blindness into sight. Praise the One who preached the Gospel, Healing every dread disease, Calming storms and feeding thousands With the very bread of peace. 2 Praise the One who blessed the children With a strong yet gentle word. Praise the One who drove out demons With the piercing two-edged sword. Praise the One who brings cool water To the desert's burning sand. From this well comes living water, Quenching thirst in every land. 3 Praise the one true love incarnate: Christ, who suffered in our place. Jesus died and rose for many That we may know God by grace. Let us sing for joy and gladness, Seeing what our God has done. Praise the one redeeming glory, Praise the One who makes us one.

As We Gather at Your Table

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table, As we listen to your word, Help us know, O God, your presence; Let our hearts and minds be stirred. Nourish us with sacred story Till we claim it as our own; Teach us through this holy banquet How to make Love’s vict'ry known. 2 Turn our worship into witness In the sacrament of life; Send us forth to love and serve you, Bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion To forgive as you forgave; May we still behold your image In the world you died to save. 3 Grant us vision, gracious Spirit, To seek guests to share that feast Where triumphant love will welcome Those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us Nor will pride our peace destroy, As we join with saints and angels To repeat the sounding joy.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing (Fuente de la vida eterna)

Author: Robert Robinson, 1735-1790; Tomás M. Westrup, 1837-1909 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,236 hymnals First Line: Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing (Fuente de la vida eterna) Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of ev'ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount– I'm fixed upon it– Mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; Hither by thy help I've come; And I hope, by thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed his precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace now like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring heart to thee: Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it; Seal it for thy courts above. --- 1 Fuente de la vida eterna y de toda bendición, ensalzar tu gracia tierna quiere nuestro corazón. Tu piedad inagotable, abundante en perdonar; único ser adorable, gloria a ti debemos dar. 2 De los cánticos celestes, te quisiéramos cantar, entonados por las huestes que lograste rescatar. Almas que a buscar viniste, porque les tuviste amor, de ellas te compadeciste, con tiernísimo favor. 3 Toma nuestros corazones, llénalos de tu verdad; de tu Espíritu los dones y de toda santidad. Guíanos en obediencia, humildad, amor y fe, nos ampare tu clemencia; Salvador propicio sé.

Vainly Through the Night

Author: Harriet Auber; C. H. Spurgeon Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 78 hymnals First Line: Vainly through the night the ranger Lyrics: 1 Vainly through the night the ranger keeps his watch, lest foes alarm; Still the city lies in danger, but for God's protecting arm. Vain were all our toil and labor, did not God that labor bless; Vain, without His grace and favor, ev'ry talent we possess. 2 Vainer still the hope of heaven that on human strength relies; but to him shall help be given, who in humble faith applies. Seek we then the LORD's Anointed; He shall grant us peace and rest: Ne'er was suppliant disappointed, who through Christ his prayer address'd. Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: NETTLETON
