And fixed the starry lights on high.

Repeat his mercies in your song.

From guilt and darkness and the grave.

The mighty works, or mightier name,
Of our eternal King.

And sound his power abroad,
Sing the sweet promise of his grace,
And the performing God.

For wretched, dying men:
His hand hath writ the sacred word
With an immortal pen.

The mighty promise shines;
Nor can the powers of darkness 'rase
Those everlasting lines.

As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars along,
Speaks all the promises.

To know thy favor sure;
I trust the all-creating voice,
And faith desires no more.

Jesus, the name high over all
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 299 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 146:7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the name high over all,
in hell, or earth, or sky;
angels and mortals prostrate fall,
and devils fear and fly,
and devils fear and fly.
2 Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
the name to sinners giv'n;
it scatters all their guilty fear,
it turns their hell to heaven,
it turns their hell to heaven.
3 Jesus, the pris'ner's fetters breaks,
and bruises Satan's head;
pow'r into strengthless souls he speaks,
and life into the dead,
and life into the dead.
4 O, that the world might taste and see
the riches of his grace!
The arms of love that compass me,
hold all the human race,
hold all the human race.
5 His only righteousness I show,
his saving truth proclaim;
'tis all my business here below
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'

I may but gasp his name;
preach him to all, and cry in death:
'Behold, behold the Lamb!'

Jesus, the name high over all
With songs and honors sounding loud
Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 278 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 146 Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heavens He spreads His cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
2 He sends His showers of blessing down
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
3 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
4 He sends His word, and melts the snow;
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
5 The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey His mighty word:
With songs and honors sounding loud
Praise ye the sovereign Lord!
Amen. Topics: God the Father God in Nature; Adoration; Creation, The; Dedication Services Of Memorial Gifts; God Eternity and Power, His; God Nature, His Glory in; Joy; Nature Services Used With Tune: BEDFORD

Then earthly vanity departs,
Then kindles love divine.

Surpassing all the joys we know,

To seek You more and more!

May we love You alone
And ever in our lives express
The image of Your own!

Eternal Power, whose high abode
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 146 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God:
In vain the loftiest angel tries
To reach thy height with wondering eyes.
2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings,
He hides his face beneath his wings;
Seraphs that most with ardor glow,
Still at an humble distance bow.
3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame,
And worms have learned to lisp thy name;
But oh, the glories of thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.
4 God is in heaven and man below;
Soft be our strains, our words be few;
A sacred reverence checks our songs,
And praise sits trembling on our tongues.
Topics: General Praise; God Exalted Above all Praise

The People That in Darkness Sat
Author: John Morison (1750-1798) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 146 Lyrics: 1 The people that in darkness sat
a glorious light have seen;
the Light has shined on them who long
in shades of death have been.

the gathering nations come;
they joy as when the reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.
3 For thou their burden dost remove,
and break the tyrant's rod,
as in the day when Midian fell
before the sword of God.
4 For unto us a child is born,
to us a Son is given,
and on his shoulder ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
the everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the God by all adored.
6 Lord Jesus, reign in us we pray,
and make us thine alone,
who with the Father ever art
and Holy Spirit one. Topics: Epiphany (season); Christmas Used With Tune: DUNDEE
