All praise to our redeeming Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 142 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All praise to our redeeming Lord, who joins us by his grace, and bids us, each to each restored, together seek his face. 2 He bids us build each other up; and, gathered into one, to our high calling’s glorious hope we hand in hand go on. 3 The gift which he on one bestows, we all delight to prove; the grace through every vessel flows, in purest streams of love. 4 Ev'n now we think and speak the same, and cordially agree; concentred all, through Jesus’ name, in perfect harmony. 5 We all partake the joy of one, the common peace we feel, a peace to sensual minds unknown, a joy unspeakable. 6 And if our fellowship below in Jesus be so sweet, what heights of rapture shall we know when round his throne we meet!

Yea, we can. 3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest o'er each work of thine; thou didst ears and hands and voices for thy praise design; craftsman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine. 4 In thy house, great God, we offer of thine own to thee; and for thine acceptance proffer all unworthily hearts and minds and hands and voices in our choicest psalmody. 5 Honour, glory, might, and merit thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, blessèd Trinity.
