God, We Praise You!
Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:20 First Line: God, we praise you! God we bless you! Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you! God, we bless you!
God, we name you sovereign Lord!
Mighty King whom angels worship,
Father, by your church adored:
all creation shows your glory,
heaven 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: Adoration Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON Text Sources: Te Deum Laudamus, para.

the lord of earth and sky;
our health while we are living,
our life when we shall die.
2 Christ has our host surrounded
with clouds of martyrs bright,
who wave their palms in triumph
and fire us for the fight.
For Christ the cross ascended
to save a world undone,
and, suffering for the sinful,
our full redemption won.
3 Down in the realm of darkness
he lay a captive bound,
but at the hour appointed
he rose, a victor crowned;
and now, to heaven ascended,
he sits upon the throne
in glorious dominion,
his Father's and his own.
4 Glory to God the Father,
the unbegotten One;
all honour be to Jesus,
his sole-begotten Son:
and to the Holy Spirit --

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:22-23 Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in his justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgement given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of man's mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 But we make his love too narrow
by false limits of our own;
and we magnify his strictness
with a zeal he will not own.
5 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
6 There is grace enough for thousands
of new worlds as great as this;
there is room for fresh creations
in that upper home of bliss.
Descant:
If our love were but more simple,
we should take him at his word;
and our lives would be all gladness
in the joy of Christ our Lord. Topics: Third Sunday Before Lent Year B; Lent II Year C; Proper 5 Year B; Proper 8 Year B; Proper 26 Year B Used With Tune: CORVEDALE

Author: Anna Laetitia Waring (1823-1910) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 563 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:18 Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding,
no change my heart shall fear;
and safe is such confiding,
for nothing changes here:
the storm may roar without me,
my heart may low be laid;
but God is round about me,
and can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
no want shall turn me back;
my Shepherd is beside me,
and nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
his sight is never dim:
he knows the way he taketh,
and I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
which yet I have not seen;
bright skies will soon be o'er me,
where darkening clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure:
my path to life is free;
my Saviour has my treasure,
and he will walk with me. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Courage; God Protection of; Rest Used With Tune: PENLAN
