Children of the heavenly King
Author: John Cennick Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,181 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
As you journey sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are traveling home to God
In the way the fathers trod:
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Sing, ye little flock and blest;
You on Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now prepared,
There your kingdom and reward.
4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
5 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow thee!
Amen. Used With Tune: INNOCENTS
Children of the heavenly King
All praise to God Who reigns above
Author: Johann Jacob Schütz; Frances Elizabeth Cox Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All praise to God Who reigns above,
The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation;
With healing balm my soul He fills,
And every faithless murmur stills.
To God all praise and glory!
2 The angel host, O King of kings,
Thy praise for ever telling,
In earth and sky all living things,
Beneath Thy shadow dwelling,
Adore the wisdom which could span,
And power which formed creation's plan.
To God all praise and glory!
3 What God's almighty power hath made
His gracious mercy keepeth;
By morning dawn or evening shade
His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
Within the kingdom of His might,
Lo! all is just and all is right.
To God all praise and glory!
4 The Lord is never far away,
But, through all grief distressing,
And ever-present help and stay,
Our peace, and joy, and blessing;
As with a mother's tender hand
He leads His own, His chosen band.
To God all praise and glory!
5 Thus, all my gladsome way along,
I'll sing aloud Thy praises,
That men may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises;
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart!
Both soul and body, bear your part!
To God all praise and glory!
Amen.

All praise to God Who reigns above
Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee
Author: Francis Scott Key Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee
For the bliss Thy love bestows,
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows.
Help, O God, my weak endeavor;
This dull soul to rapture raise:
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.
2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away.
Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling,
Him Who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained Cross appear.
3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express;
Low before Thy footstool kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless.
Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure,
Love’s pure flame within me raise;
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth Thy praise.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: SANCTUARY
Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee
For the beauty of the earth
Author: Folliott Sandford Pierpoint Appears in 630 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For the beauty of the earth
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
Christ, our God, to Thee we raise,
This our sacrifice of praise.
2 For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light.
Christ, our God, to Thee we raise,
This our sacrifice of praise.
3 For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight,
Christ, our God, to Thee we raise,
This our sacrifice of praise.
4 For Thyself, best Gift divine!
To our race so freely given,
For that great, great love of thine,
Peace on earth and joy in heaven,
Christ, our God, to Thee we raise,
This our sacrifice of praise.
Amen.

For the beauty of the earth
From all that dwell below the skies
Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Appears in 1,278 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator’s praise arise;
Let the Redeemer’s Name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.
2 Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord,
Eternal truth attends Thy Word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns rise and set no more.
3 Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring;
In songs of praise divinely sing;
The great salvation loud proclaim,
And shout for joy the Saviour’s Name.
4 In every land begin the song;
To every land the strains belong;
In cheerful sounds all voices raise,
And fill the world with loudest praise.

From all that dwell below the skies
O worship the King, all glorious above
Author: Robert Grant Appears in 1,139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all-glorious above,
And gratefully sing His wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of His might and sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old:
Hast stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hast cast like a mantle the sea.
4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love!
While angels delight to hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble its lays,
With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: LYONS Text Sources: Based on W. Kethes' Paraphrase, 1551
O worship the King, all glorious above
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 997 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I’m lost
In wonder, love and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From Whom those comforts flowed.
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the last a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
4 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I’ll pursue,
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
5 When nature fails, and day and night
Divide Thy works no more,
My ever grateful heart, O Lord,
Thy mercy shall adore.
6 Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I’ll raise;
But oh! eternity’s too short
To utter all Thy praise.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,201 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help, I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
3 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious Blood.
4 O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
5 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: STUTTGART

Worlds His mighty voice obeyed;
Laws, which never shall be broken,
For their guidance He hath made.
3 Praise the Lord! for He is glorious;
Never shall His promise fail;
God hath made His saints victorious,
Sin and death shall not prevail.

Laud and magnify His Name!

My God! how wonderful Thou art
Author: Frederick William Faber Appears in 343 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God! how wonderful Thou art,
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful Thy Mercy-seat
In depths of burning light!
2 Yet, I may love Thee too, O Lord!
Almighty as Thou art;
For Thou hast stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
3 No earthly father loves like Thee,
No mother e’er so mild,
Bears and forbears, as Thou hast done
With me, Thy sinful child.
4 My God! how wonderful Thou art,
Thou everlasting Friend!
On Thee I stay my trusting heart
Till faith in vision end.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: BEATITUDO
