Songs of praise the angels sang

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 542 hymnals Lyrics: Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with alleluias rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity. Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day: God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 233 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

Sing, my soul, His wondrous love

Author: Anonymous Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: Sing, my soul, his wondrous love, Who, from yon bright throne above, Ever watchful o'er our race, Still to man extends his grace. Heaven and earth by him were made; All is by his scepter swayed; What are we that he should show So much love to us below? God, the merciful and good, Bought us with the Savior's blood, And, to make our safety sure, Guides us by his Spirit pure. Sing, my soul, adore his Name! Let his glory be thy theme: Praise him till he calls thee home; Trust his love for all to come.

Praise to the Holiest in the height

Author: John Henry Newman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Lyrics: Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all his words most wonderful, Most sure in all his ways! O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. O wisest love! that flesh and blood, Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against the foe, Should strive and should prevail: And that a higher gift than grace Should flesh and blood refine; God's Presence and his very Self, And Essence all-divine. O generous love! that he who smote In Man for man the foe, The double agony in Man For man should undergo; And in the garden secretly, And on the cross on high, Should teach his brethren, and inspire To suffer and to die. Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all his words most wonderful, Most sure in all his ways.

O for a heart to praise my God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,160 hymnals Lyrics: O for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free! A heart that's sprinkled with the blood So freely shed for me; A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone; An humble, lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean; Which neither life nor death can part From him that dwells within. A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine, Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord, of thine! Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write thy new Name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of Love. Amen.

O could I speak the matchless worth

Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 738 hymnals Lyrics: O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Savior shine, I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine. I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. O the delightful day will come When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face; Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace.

Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what he gives And praise him still, Through good or ill, Who ever lives! My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise.

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 923 hymnals Lyrics: Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day his sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow me." As of old, Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love me more." In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "That we love him more than these." 248 Jesus calls us: by thy mercies, Savior, make us hear thy call, Give our hearts to thine obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Amen. Topics: Holy Days St. Andrew; Catechism; Brotherhood and Service; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW
