Praise to God, immortal praise

Author: Anna Laetitia Barbauld Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 602 hymnals Lyrics: Praise to God, immortal praise, For the love that crowns our days; Bounteous source of every joy, Let thy praise our tongues employ: All to thee, our God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow. All the plenty summer pours; Autumn's rich o'erflowing stores; Flocks that whiten all the plain; Yellow sheaves of ripened grain: Lord, for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. Peace, prosperity, and health, Private bliss, and public wealth, Knowledge with its gladdening streams, Pure religion's holier beams: Lord, for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. As thy prospering hand hath blest, May we give thee of our best; And by deeds of kindly love For thy mercies grateful prove; Singing thus through all our days, Praise to God, immortal praise. Amen.

Glory! glory! Hallelujah!

Author: Julia Ward Howe Meter: 15.15.15.6 with refrain Appears in 553 hymnals First Line: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord Lyrics: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I have read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on. I have read a fiery gospel, writ in burnished rows of steel; "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;" Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on. He has sounded forth his trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer him: be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born, across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me; As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free! While God is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on. Topics: National Days; Sunday Schools National Days Used With Tune: BATTLE HYMN

O God, our help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Lyrics: O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home: Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same. A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 406 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our Guide while life shall last, And our eternal home. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Introits; Old and New Year Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

When we seek relief From a long-felt grief; When temptations come alluring, Make us patient and enduring; Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won: Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand In our Fatherland. Amen.

God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons

Author: Denis Wortman Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons: Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast; Each age its solemn task may claim but once: Make each one nobler, stronger than the last! Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attent To thy divinest speech; their hearts awake To human need; their lips make eloquent To assure the right, and every evil break. Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they For pardon, and for charity and peace! Ah, if with them the world might pass, astray, Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice! 411 Anoint them kings! Aye, kingly kings, O Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of thy Son: Theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword; Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won. Make them apostles! Heralds of thy cross, Forth may they go to tell all realms thy grace: Inspired of thee, may they count all but loss, And stand at last with joy before thy face. O mighty age of prophet-kings, return! O truth, O faith, enrich our urgent time! Lord Jesus Christ, again with us sojourn: A weary world awaits thy reign sublime! Amen. Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Used With Tune: TOULON

'tis your Lord's command, And while we speak he's near; Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear.

Blest be the tie that binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,273 hymnals Lyrics: Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Jesus' love: The fellowship of Christian minds Is like to that above. Before our Father's throne We pour united prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one; Our comforts and our cares. 446 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. When we at death must part, Not like the world's, our pain; But one in Christ, and one in heart, We part to meet again. From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Throughout eternity.
