Lord God, to You We All Give Praise

Author: Philipp Melanchthron, 1497-1560; Paul Eber, 1511-69; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: LW1982 #189 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord God, to you we all give praise, To you with joy our thanks we raise For angel multitudes that shine In your great throne room crystalline. 2 From them flow light and heav'nly grace Reflecting splendors of your face. They heed your voice, they know it well, In godly wisdom they excel. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be With you, Lord Jesus, and to keep Your little flock, your lambs and sheep. 4 Increase, we plead, our song of praise For angel hosts that guard our days; Teach us to ceaselessly adore, To serve as they do evermore.

Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: LW1982 #190 (1982) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright, Filled with celestial resplendence and light, These, where no darkness the glory can dim, Praise the Thrice Holy One, serving but him. 2 These are your ministers, these are your own, Lord God of Sabaoth, nearest your throne; These are your messengers, these whom you send, Helping your helpless ones, Helper and Friend. 3 Then, when the earth was first poised in mid-space, Then, when the planets first sped on their race, Then, when were ended the six days' employ, Then all the sons of God shouted for joy. 4 Still let them be with us, still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right, Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.

To my heart, oh, enter thou, Let it be thy temple now! 3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted, Here thy seed is duly sown; Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep thy gift divine; Howsoe'er temptations thicken, May thy Word still o'er me shine As my guiding star through life, As my comfort in all strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee, Let thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near thee While thou dost thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows; Here is balm for all our woes. Topics: Beginning of Service; Word of God, The Languages: English Tune Title: UNSER HERRSCHER
