Come, O my soul, in sacred lays

Author: Thomas Blacklock Hymnal: SDAH1886 #61 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Come, O my soul, in sacred lays, Attempt thy great Creator's praise; But O what tongue can speak his fame! What mortal verse declare his name! 2 Enthroned amid the radiant spheres, He glory like a garment wears; To form a robe of light divine, Ten thousand suns around him shine. 3 In all our Maker's grand designs, Omnipotence with wisdom shines; His works, through all this wondrous frame, Declare the glory of his name. 4 Raised on devotion's lofty wing, Do thou, my soul, his glories sing; And let his praise employ thy tongue Till listening worlds shall join the song.

The Lord is King! lift up thy voice

Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: SDAH1886 #62 (1886) Lyrics: 1 The Lord is King! lift up thy voice, O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice! From world to world the joy shall ring, The Lord omnipotent is King! 2 The Lord is King! child of the dust, The Judge of all the earth is just, Holy and true are all his ways; Let every creature speak his praise. 3 He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains, Your God is King, your Father reigns; And he is at the Father's side, The man of love, the Crucified. 4 Come, make your wants, your burdens known, He will present them at the throne; And angel bands are waiting there, His messages of love to bear. 5 O when his wisdom can mistake, His might decay, his love forsake, Then may his children cease to sing, The Lord omnipotent is King!

Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #63 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise Our hearts and voices in his praise; His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers nations to his name; His mercy melts the stubborn soul, And makes the broken spirit whole. 3 He formed the stars, those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers, calls their names: His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound, A deep, where all our thoughts are drowned. 4 Great is the Lord, and great his might, And all his glories infinite; He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust. 5 But saints are lovely in his sight; He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And looks, and loves his image there. 6 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest, He's your defense, your joy, your rest: When terrors rise and nations faint, God is the strength of every saint.

Lord, how mysterious are thy ways!

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: SDAH1886 #64 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, how mysterious are thy ways! How blind are we, how mean our praise! Thy steps no mortal eyes explore; 'Tis ours to wonder and adore. 2 I do not ask that I may see What in the future waits for me; Let righteousness attend my days, And thine shall be the humble praise. 3 Are darkness and distress my share? Give me to trust thy guardian care; Enough for me, if love divine At length through every cloud shall shine. 4 Yet this my soul desires to know, Be this my only wish below, That Christ is mine! this great request, Grant, bounteous God, and I am blest.

Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: SDAH1886 #65 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb To search the starry vault profound; In vain would wing her flight sublime, To find creation's outmost bound. 2 But weaker yet that thought must prove To search thy great eternal plan, Thy sovereign counsels, born of love Long ages ere the world began. 3 When my dim reason would demand Why that, or this, thou dost ordain, By some vast deep I seem to stand, Whose secrets I must ask in vain. 4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast, And all is dark as night to me, Here, as on solid rock, I rest; That so it seemeth good to thee. 5 Be this my joy, that evermore Thou rulest all things at thy will: Thy sovereign wisdom I adore, And calmly, sweetly, trust thee still.

God of my life, to thee belong

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #66 (1886) Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to thee belong The grateful heart, the joyful song; Touched by thy love, each tuneful chord Resounds the goodness of the Lord. 2 Yet why, dear Lord, this tender care? Why doth thy hand so kindly rear A useless cumberer of the ground, On which so little fruit is found? 3 Still let the barren fig-tree stand, Upheld and fostered by thy hand; Its fruit and vendure yet shall be A grateful tribute, Lord, to thee.

With deepest reverence at thy throne

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #67 (1886) Lyrics: 1 With deepest reverence at thy throne, Jehovah, peerless and unknown! Our feeble spirits strive, in vain, A glimpse of thee, great God! to gain. 2 Who, by the closest search, can find The eternal uncreated mind? Nor men nor angels can explore Thy hights of love, thy depths of power. 3 That power we trace on every side; O may thy wisdom be our guide And while we live, and when we die, May thy almighty love be nigh.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: SDAH1886 #68 (1886) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue, ethereal sky, Th' unwearied sun, from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim: 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly, to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."

Eternal Source of every joy

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: SDAH1886 #69 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of every joy, Well may thy praise our lips employ While in thy temple we appear, To hail thee Sovereign of the year! Wide as the wheels of nature roll, Thy hand supports and guides the whole: The sun is taught by thee to rise, And darkness when to vail the skies 2 The flowery spring, at thy command Perfumes the air, adorns the land; The summer rays with vigor shine, To raise the corn, to cheer the vine: Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours Through all our coasts redundant stores; And winters, softened by thy care, No more the face of horror wear. 3 Seasons and months, and weeks and days, Demand successive songs of praise; And be the grateful homage paid, With morning light and evening shade. Here in thy house let incense rise, And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes, Till to those lofty heights we sour, Where days and years revolve no more.

Come, ye that know and fear the Lord

Author: G. Burder Hymnal: SDAH1886 #70 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that know and fear the Lord, And raise your thoughts above; Let every heart and voice accord, To sing that "God is love;" Let every heart and voice accord, To sing that "God is love." 2 This precious truth his word declares, And all his mercies prove; Jesus, the gift of gifts, appears, To show that "God is love." 3 Behold his patience bearing long With those who from him rove, Till mighty grace their hearts subdues To teach them "God is love." 4 O may we all, while here below, This best of blessings prove, Till warmer hearts in brighter worlds Proclaim that "God is love."
