Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; It well becomes the good man's voice To sing Jehovah's praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, Your gift of sweetest music bring, To him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word; And all the doings of the Lord In faithfulness are wrought. In justice and in judgment right The Lord doth ever take delight; With goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns hath made, And all the host of them arrayed His breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; He stores away the mighty deep In garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before him stand; For, lo, he spake and it was done, And all, his sovereign pow'r begun, Stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, For evermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blessed the people is whom he Has made his heritage to be, And chosen for his own. Amen.

Blest Be the Lord, My Rock, My Might

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest be the Lord, my rock, my might, My constant Helper in the fight, My shield, my righteousness, My strong high tower, my Savior true, Who doth my enemies subdue, My shelter in distress. 2 Lord, what is man, what has he wrought, The son of man, that in Thy thought To hold him Thou shouldst deign? For man is like a breath, a sight, His days on earth as quickly fly As shadows o'er the plain. 3 Lord, how Thy heavens, in might descend, Touch Thou the hills, the mountains rend, And they shall smoke and flame; As arrows send Thy lightnings out to put Thy enemies to rout, And fill Thy foes with shame. 4 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From trouble's dark and raging sea, And from the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong. 5 Now will I sing a glad new song, Thy praise, O God, I will prolong, For Thou hast heard my prayer; Salvation Thou dost give to kings, Thy own dost keep, with sheltering wings, From hurtful sword and snare. 6 O Thou to Whom in trust I flee, Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From all the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong.

They Come From Far A King To Seek

Author: Isabella J. Postgate Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 They come from far a king to seek, They find a babe and maiden meek, In low-roofed oxen stall: Yet rightly richest gifts they bring, For truly this Babe is King of all kings, The God and Lord of all. 2 Bright gold one offers now to Him, Whose glory makes the fine gold dim, His kingly state to show; And myrrh the bitter hour of strife, When He, who giveth all things life, In death’s dust lieth low. 3 One offers frankincense sweet and rare, The symbol meet of praise and prayer, Before the cradle-throne; For surely God is in this place, And in the blessèd Infant’s face The might of God is shown. 4 Lord, grant us, as the kings of old, By faith the glory to behold Which Thy poor form doth veil; Within the stable’s narrow bound To know a spot of holy ground And kneel our God to hail: 5 That, in dark shades of sinful night, Since Thou dost call us to Thy light, We may no longer roam; But, lifting heart and eyes to Heav’n, We follow the sign Thy love hath giv’n Until the star leads us home!
