Give thanks to God, call on his name
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, call on his name;
to men his deeds make known.
2 Sing ye to him, sing psalms; proclaim
his wondrous works each one.
3 To glory in his holy name
unite with one accord;
and let the heart of every one
rejoice that seeks the Lord.
4 The Lord Almighty and his strength,
with stedfast hearts seek ye:
his blessed and his gracious face
seek ye continually.
5 Think on the works that he hath done.
Which admiration breed;
his wonders, and the judgments all
which from his mouth proceed;
6 O ye that are of Abraham’s race,
his servant faithful known;
and ye that Jacob’s children are,
whom he chose for his own.
7 Because he, and he only, is
the mighty Lord our God;
and his most righteous judgments are
in all the earth abroad.
8 His covenant he remembered hath,
that it may ever stand:
to thousand generations he
his promise did command.
9 Which covenant he firmly made
with faithful Abraham,
and unto Isaac by his oath,
he did renew the same:
10 And unto Jacob, for a law,
he made it firm and sure,
a covenant to Israel,
which ever should endure:
11 he said, I will give Canaan’s land
for heritage to you;
12 while they were strangers there, and few,
in number very few:
13 While yet they went from land to land
without a sure abode;
and while through sundry kingdoms they
did wander far abroad;1
4 yet, notwithstanding, suffered he
no man to do them wrong:
yea, for their sakes, he did reprove
kings, who were great and strong.
15 Thus did he say, Touch ye not those
that mine anointed be,
nor do the prophets any harm
that do pertain to me.
16 He called for famine on the land,
he brake the staff of bread:
17 but yet he sent a man before,
by whom they should be fed;
Even Joseph, whom unnaturally
sell for a slave did they;
18 whose feet with fetters they did hurt,
and he in irons lay;
19 until the time that his word came
to give him liberty;
the word and purpose of the Lord
did him in prison try.
20 Then sent the king and did command
that he enlarged should be:
he that the people’s ruler was
did send to set him free.
21 To be the Lord of all his house
he raised him as most fit;
to him of all that he possessed
he did the charge commit:
22 That he might at his pleasure bind
the princes of the land;
and also teach his senators
wisdom to understand.
23 And down into the land of Ham,
to Egypt, Israel came;
down into Egypt came;
and for a season Jacob then
did sojourn in the same.
24 And he did greatly by his power
increase his people there;
and stronger than their enemies
they by his blessing were.
25 Their heart he turned then to hate
his people bitterly;
with those that his own servants were
to deal in subtlety.
26 His servant Moses he did send,
Aaron his chosen one:
27 by these his signs and wonders great
in Ham’s land were made known.
28 Darkness he sent, and made it dark;
his word they did obey.
29 He turned their waters into blood,
and he their fish did slay.
30 The land in plenty brought forth frogs
in chambers of their kings.
31 His word all sorts of flies and lice
in all their border brings.
32 For showers hail and flaming fire
into their land he sent:
33 and he their vines and fig-trees smote;
trees of their coasts he rent.
34 He spake, and caterpillars came,
locusts did much abound;
35 which in their land all herbs consumed,
and all fruits of their ground.
36 He smote all first-born in their land,
chief of their strength each one.
37 With gold and silver brought them forth,
weak in their tribes were none.
38 Egypt was glad when forth they went,
their fear on them did light.
39 He spread a cloud for covering,
and fire to shine by night.
40 They asked, he sent the quail, and bread
of heaven on them bestowed;
41 the rock he opened rocks, waters gushed, streams in the desert flowed
42 For on his holy promise he,
and servant Abraham, thought.
43 With joy his people, his elect
with gladness, forth he brought.
44 And unto them the pleasant lands
he of the heathen gave;
That of the people’s labour they
inheritance might have.
45 That they his statutes might observe
according to his word;
And that they might his laws obey.

O thou who givest all their food
Why pour'st thou forth thine anxious plaint
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why pour’st thou forth thine anxious plaint,
despairing of relief,
as if the Lord o’erlook’d thy cause,
and did not heed thy grief?
2 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard,
that firm remains on high
the everlasting throne of Him
who form'd the earth and sky?
3 Art thou afraid his pow’r shall fail
when comes thy evil day?
and can an all-creating arm
grow weary or decay?
4 Supreme in wisdom as in pow’r
the Rock of ages stands;
though him thou canst not see, nor trace
the working of his hands.
5 He gives the conquest to the weak,
supports the fainting heart;
and courage in the evil hour
his heav’nly aids impart.
6 Mere human pow’r shall fast decay,
and youthful vigour cease;
but they who wait upon the Lord,
in strength shall still increase.
7 They with unweary'd feet shall tread
the path of life divine;
with growing ardour onward move,
with growing brightness shine.
8 On eagles’ wings they mount, they soar,
their wings are faith and love,
till, past the cloudy regions here,
they rise to heav’n above. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-31 Used With Tune: ABRIDGE (ST STEPHEN)

O how I long with Christ to be
Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O how I long with Christ to be,
And in his presence rest!
He draws my soul most wondrously;
I to his bosom haste.
2 Me for thy coming, Lord, prepare;

Whene'er thou comest, without fear
To meet and welcome thee.
3 Meanwhile may I in spirit view
Thy sufferings, cross, and death;
These to my heart be daily new,
While thou shalt give me breath.
4 Thus will my wants be well supplied,
Thus will my soul with grace
Abundantly be satisfied,
And kept in heavenly peace. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

Who Dares Attempt Th'Eternal Name?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name Lyrics: 1 Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name
With notes of mortal sound?
Dangers and glories guard the theme,
And spread despair around.
2 Destruction waits t’obey His frown,
And Heav’n attends His smile;
A wreath of lightning arms His crown,
But love adorns it still.
3 Celestial King, our spirits lie
Trembling beneath Thy feet,
And wish, and cast a longing eye,
To reach Thy lofty seat.
4 When shall we see the Great Unknown,
And in Thy presence stand?
Reveal the splendors of Thy throne,
But shield us with Thy hand.
5 In Thee what endless wonders meet!
What various glory shines!
The crossing rays too fiercely beat
Upon our fainting minds.
6 Angels are lost in sweet surprise
If Thou unveil Thy grace;
And humble awe runs thro’ the Skies,
When wrath arrays Thy face.
7 When mercy joins with majesty
To spread their beams abroad,
Not all the fairest minds on high
Are shadows of a God.
8 Thy works the strongest seraph sings
In far too feeble strain.
And labors hard on all his strings
To reach Thy thoughts in vain.
9 Created powers, how weak they be!
How short our praises fall!
So much akin to nothing we,
And Thou th’Eternal All. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE Text Sources: Horae Lyricae Book I, 1706, alt.

Afflictions Do Not Come Alone
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Afflictions do not come alone,
A voice attends the rod;
By both He to His saints is known,
A Father and a God!
2. Let not My children slight the stroke
I for chastisement send;
Nor faint beneath My kind rebuke,
For still I am their friend.
3. The wicked I perhaps may leave
Awhile, and not reprove;
But all the children I receive
I scourge, because I love.
4. If therefore you were left without
This needful discipline;
You might, with cause, admit a doubt,
If you, indeed, were Mine.
5. Shall earthly parents then expect
Their children to submit?
And wilt not you, when I correct,
Be humbled at My feet?
6. To please themselves they oft chastise,
And put their sons to pain;
But you are precious in My eyes,
And shall not smart in vain.
7. I see your hearts, at present, filled
With grief, and deep distress;
But soon these bitter seeds shall yield
The fruits of righteousness.
8. Break through the clouds, dear Lord, and shine!
Let us perceive Thee nigh!
And to each mourning child of Thine
These gracious words apply. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 135
