The heavens declare thy glory, Lord!
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #6 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Exodus 3:14 Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare thy glory, Lord!
In every star thy wisdom shines;
But when our eyes behold thy word,
We read thy name in fairer lines.
2 The rolling sun, the changing light,
And nights and days, thy power confess;
But the blest volume thou hast writ
Reveals thy justice and thy grace.
3 Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise
Round the whole earth, and never stand;
So when thy truth began its race,
It touched and glanced on every land.
4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest,
Till through the world thy truth has run;
Till Christ has all the nations blest
That see the light, or feel the sun.
5 Great Sun of Righteous! arise;
Bless the dark world with heavenly light;
Thy gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.
6 Thy noblest wonders here we view,
In souls renewed, and sins forgiven;
Lord! cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
And make thy word my guide to heaven.
Topics: The Bible; The Works and the Word of God
The heavens declare thy glory, Lord!
Meet and right it is to sing
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #106 (1873) Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Lyrics: 1 Meet and right it is to sing,
In every time and place,
Glory to our heavenly King,
The God of truth and grace.
Join we then with sweet accord,
All in one thanksgiving join!
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
Eternal praise be thine!
2 Thee, the first-born sons of light,
In choral symphonies,
Praise by day, day without night,
And never, never cease;
Angels and archangels, all
Praise the mystic Three in One;
Sing, and stop, and gaze, and fall,
O'erwhelmed before thy throne!
3 Father, God, thy love we praise,
Which gave thy Son to die;
Jesus, full of truth and grace,
Alike we glorify;
Spirit, Comforter divine.
Praise by all to thee be given,
Till we in full chorus join,
And earth is turned to heaven. Topics: Attributes of God Holiness; The Holy One
Meet and right it is to sing
Stand up, and bless the Lord, Ye people of his choice
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: VoP1873 #340 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 15:2 Lyrics: 1 Stand up, and bless the Lord,
Ye people of his choice;
Stand up, and bless the Lord your God,
With heart, and soul, and voice.
2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear his holy name,
And laud and magnify?
3 Oh, for the living flame
From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our souls inspire
And wing to heaven our thought!
4 God is our strength and song,
And his salvation ours;
Then be his love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers.
5 Stand up, and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore;
Stand up, and bless his glorious name,
Henceforth, for evermore. Topics: General Praise; Hearty Adoration
Stand up, and bless the Lord, Ye people of his choice
The Lord is King! lift up thy voice
Author: Conder Hymnal: VoP1873 #115 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Exodus 15:10 Lyrics: 1 The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring:
The Lord omnipotent is King!
2 The Lord is King! child of the dust,
The Judge of all the world is just:
Holy and true are all his ways;
Let every creature speak his praise.
3 Come, make your wants, your burdens known;
The contrite soul he'll ne'er disown,
And angel bands are waiting there,
His messages of love to bear.
4 Oh, when his wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, his love forsake--
Then may his children cease to sing,
The Lord omnipotent is King!

The Lord is King! lift up thy voice
Thy way is in the sea
Author: Fawcett Hymnal: VoP1873 #135 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 15:11 Lyrics: 1 Thy way is in the sea;
Thy paths we can not trace;
Nor solve, O Lord, the mystery
Of thy unbounded grace.
2 Here the dark veils of sense
Our captive souls surround;
Mysterious deeps of providence
Our wandering thoughts confound.
3 As through a glass we see
The wonders of thy love;
How little do we know of thee,
Or of the joys above!
Topics: Attributes of God Providence; God's Hidden Ways

Welcome, delightful morn
Author: Hayward Hymnal: VoP1873 #525 (1873) Scripture: Exodus 16:23 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, delightful morn,
Thou day of sacred rest!
I hail thy kind return;
Lord, make these moments blest:
From the low train of mortal toys,
I soar to reach immortal joys.
2 Now may the King descend,
And fill his throne of grace;
Thy scepter, Lord, extend,
While saints address thy face:
Let sinners feel thy quickening word,
And learn to know and fear the Lord.
3 Descend, celestial Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Disclose a Saviour's love,
And bless the sacred hours:
Then shall my soul new life obtain.
New Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Sabbath Morning
Welcome, delightful morn
This is the day the Lord hath made
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #532 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 20:8-11 Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours his own;
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround his throne.
2 To-day he rose and left the dead,
And Satan's empire fell;
To-day the saints his triumphs spread,
And all his wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to th' anointed King,
To David's holy Son!
Help us, O Lord! descend and bring
Salvation from thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes, in God his Father's name,
To save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna! in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens, in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Blessings of the Sabbath
This is the day the Lord hath made
God of my life, to thee My cheerful soul I raise
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #727 (1873) Scripture: Exodus 20:12 Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to thee
My cheerful soul I raise;
Thy goodness bade me be,
And still prolongs my days;
I see my natal hour return,
And bless the day that I was born.
2 My soul and all its powers
Thine, wholly thine, shall be;
All, all my happy hours
I consecrate to thee;
Whate'er I have, whate'er I am,
Shall magnify my Maker's name.
3 Long as I love beneath,
To thee, oh, let me live!
To thee my every breath,
In thanks and praises give!
Creating and preserving grace
Let all that is within me praise.
4 Then, when the work is done,
The work of faith and power,
Receive thy rescued son
In death's triumphant hour;
Like Moses, to thyself convey
My soul, to live in endless day. Topics: The Christian Family Birthday; Birthday Dedication
God of my life, to thee My cheerful soul I raise
From every stormy wind that blows
Author: Stowell Hymnal: VoP1873 #309 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Exodus 25:22 Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat:
'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.
2 There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads--
A place than all beside more sweet:
It is the blood-bought mercy-seat.
3 There is a scene where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
Though sundered far, by faith they meet
Around one common mercy-seat.
4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid,
When tempted, desolate, dismayed?
Or how the hosts of hell defeat,
Had suffering saints no mercy-seat?
5 There, there, on eagle's wings we soar,
And sin and sense seem all no more;
And heaven comes down our souls to greet,
And glory crowns the mercy-seat.
6 Oh, let my hand forget her skill,
My tongue be silent, cold and still,
This bounding heart forget to beat,
If I forget thy mercy-seat.
Topics: Prayer; The Mercy-Seat
From every stormy wind that blows
Lord, I approach the mercy-seat
Author: Newton Hymnal: VoP1873 #425 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 25:22 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I approach the mercy-seat,
Where thou dost answer prayer;
There humbly fall before thy feet--
For none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea;
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, O Lord, am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed;
By wars without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place;
That, sheltered near thy side,
I may rejoice in Jesus' grace--
In Jesus crucified.
5 Oh, wondrous love!--to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name.
