Now Let Us All, in Hymns of Praise

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now let us all, in hymns of praise, bear witness with one voice To God’s redeeming work in Christ, and bid the world rejoice. Today we call to mind the things that time cannot erode: what God, Creator of the world, is doing for our good. 2 What changes, challenges, and tests the church of Christ survives! How rich the records left to us of dedicated lives! Still must the church proclaim to all, that now, and evermore, the house of God is open house, and Christ the Open Door. 3 Of all our labors who can say what harvest there shall be, when time, that limits and distorts, becomes eternity? Then shall our hymns, rehearsed below, be perfect praise above, as, face to face, we fully know what this means: God is love!

There's a Wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice, which is more than liberty. There is no place where earthly sorrows are more felt than in God's heaven; there's no place where earthly failings have such kindly judgment given. 2 For the love of God is broader than the measures of our minds; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more faithful, we would gladly trust God's Word, and our lives would show thanksgiving for the goodness of our God.

Speak unto Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them; Tell them that their sins I cover, and their warfare now is over. 2 For the herald’s voice is calling in the desert far and near, Bidding us to make repentance since the realm of God is here. Oh, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise in meeting and the hills bow down in greeting. 3 Straight shall be what long was crooked, and the rougher places plain! Let your hearts be true and humble, for Messiah's holy reign. For God's glory evermore shall be known o'er all the world; And all flesh shall see the token that God's word is never broken.
