The Heavens Declare Thy Glory

Author: Thomas R. Birks Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 58 hymnals First Line: The heav,ns declare Thy glory Lyrics: 1 The heav'ns declare Thy glory, The firmament Thy pow'r; Day unto day the story Repeats from hour to hour; Night unto night replying, Proclaims in ev'ry land, O Lord, with voice undying, The wonders of Thy hand. 2 The sun with royal splendor Goes forth to chant Thy praise, And moon-beams soft and tender Their gentler anthem raise: O'er ev'ry tribe and nation The music strange is poured; The song of all creation To Thee, creation's Lord. 3 All heav'n on high rejoices To do its Maker's will; The stars with solemn voice Resound Thy praises still: So let my whole behavior, Tho'ts, words, and actions be, O Lord, my Strength, my Savior, One ceaseless song to Thee.

Conquering now and still to conquer, Rideth a King in His might, Leading the host of all the faithful Into the midst of the fight; See them with courage advancing, Clad in their brilliant array, Shouting the name of their Leader, Hear them exultingly say: Chorus: Not to the strong is the battle, Not to the swift is the race, Yet to the true and the faithful Vict'ry is promised thro' grace. 2. Conquering now and still to conquer, Who is this wonderful King? Whence are the armies which he leadeth, While of his glory they sing? He is our Lord and Redeemer, Savior and Monarch divine; They are the stars that forever Bright in His Kingdom will shine. [Chorus] 3. Conquering now and still to conquer, Jesus, Thou Ruler of all, Thrones and their scepters all shall perish, Crowns and their splendor shall fall, Yet shall the armies Thou leadest, Faithful and true to the last, Find in Thy mansions eternal Rest, when their warfare is part.

Not Worthy, Lord

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 88 hymnals First Line: Not worthy Lord to gather up the crumbs Lyrics: 1. Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand that from Thy table fall, A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call. 2. I am not worthy to be thought Thy child, Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board; Too long a wand'rer and too oft beguiled, I only ask one reconciling word. 3. One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look, And I could face the cold, rough world again; And with that treasure in my heart could brook The wrath of devils and the scorn of men. 4. I hear Thy voice; Thou bidd'st me come and rest; I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy pierced feet; Thou bidd'st me take my place, a welcome guest Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat. 5. My praise can only breathe itself in prayer, My prayer can only lose itself in Thee; Dwell Thou forever in my heart, and there, Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me.

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Bishop C. Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 812 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee, the high and lowly, Bending before the throne, Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy, To the great Three in One. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth. On thee, our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from Heav'n; And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was given. 3 Today on weary nations The heav'nly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where gospel light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 4 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: MENDEBRAS
