O Praise The Lord! His Name Extol
Author: Johann Olearius; Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord! His name extol,
The God of skill and might,
Who formed my body, breathed my soul
And gave me life and light--
My Father, whose paternal care,
To me from childhood shown,
Exceeds my effort to declare,
Exceeds what I have known.
2 O praise the Lord! Adore His grace,
My God, my only trust,
The Son, who, loving our lost race,
United with our dust--
My Savior, who for me has giv'n
His all-atoning blood
To raise me up from earth to heav'n,
From wretchedness to God.
3 O praise the Lord, the Holy One,
My God, who seals my peace,
Sent by the Father and the Son
To guide me home to bliss--
The Comforter, whose quick'ning pow'r
Assists me day by day,
Whose counsels, in the darkest hour,
My trembling spirit stay.

My God, I Love Thee
Author: Francis Xavier, 16th cent.; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 208 hymnals First Line: My God, I love Thee, not because Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because
I hope for heav'n thereby,
nor yet for fear that loving not
I might forever die;
but for that Thou didst all mankind
upon the cross embrace;
for us didst bear the nails and spear,
and manifold disgrace;
2 And griefs and torments numberless,
and sweat of agony;
e'en death itself, and all for man,
who was Thine enemy.
Then why, most loving Jesus Christ,
should I not love Thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heav'n,
nor any fear of hell;
3 Not with the hope of gaining aught,
nor seeking a reward,
but as Thyself hast loved me,
O ever loving Lord!
E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
and in Thy praise will sing,
solely because Thou art my God
and my eternal King! Topics: Salvation Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

When Jesus Was in Bethany
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: When Jesus was in Bethanyhe was a welcome guestwithin the home of Lazarus,and there he stayed to rest.Good Martha hurried off to cooksome food for him to eat;but Mary, searching, found a stooland sat down at his feet.While Mary listened to the wordsthat Jesus had to say,her sister, busy at her work,sent angry looks her way.Said Martha, "Jesus, don't you carethat I must work alone?Why do you let her sit and talk,her idleness condone?""Now, Martha, Martha," Jesus said,"when I come here to dine,don't waste your time on special food.A simple meal is fine.Come, sit with Mary at my sideand feed upon my words,that you may fill your mind and heartwith all that you have heard."Sometimes, like Martha, we may betoo zealous in a chore,like Mary, leave a task undonefor needs we can't ignore.We long to find a balance, God,in living out each day.Help us be faithful in our work,yet take the time to pray.

O King of Kings, O Lord of Hosts
Author: Henry Burton Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O King of kings, O Lord of hosts,
whose throne is lifted high
Above the nations of the earth,
the armies of the sky,
The spirits of perfected saints
may give their nobler songs
And we, Thy children, worship Thee,
to whom all praise belongs.
2. Thy hand has hid within our fields
treasures of countless worth;
The light, the suns of other years,
shine from the depths of earth;
The very dust, inbreathed by Thee,
the clods all cold and dead,
Wake into beauty and to life,
to give Thy children bread.
3. Thou who hast sown the sky with stars,
and set Thy thoughts in gold,
Hast crowned our nation’s life,
and ours, with blessings manifold;
Thy mercies have been numberless;
Thy love, Thy grace, Thy care,
Were wider than our utmost need,
and higher than our prayer.
4. O King of kings, O Lord of hosts,
our fathers’ God and ours!
Be with us in the future years;
and if the tempest lowers,
Look through the cloud with light of love,
and smile our tears away
And lead us through the brightening years
to Heaven’s eternal day. Used With Tune: REX REGUM
O King of Kings, O Lord of Hosts
O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem, of shepherds watching there,
and of the news that came to them from angels in the air:
the light that shone on Bethlehem fills all the world today;
of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth the angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth, of sunny days of joy,
O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath, and of the sinless Boy:
for now the flowers of Nazareth in every heart may grow;
now spreads the fame of his dear name on all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee, of lake and woods and hill,
of him who walked upon the sea and bade the waves be still:
for though, like waves on Galilee, dark seas of trouble roll,
when faith has heard the Master’s word, falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary, its glory and dismay;
of him who hung upon the tree, and took our sins away:
for he who died on Calvary is risen from the grave,
and Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored, is mighty now to save.

The Hour-Glass
Author: John Quincy Adams Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals First Line: Alas! how swift the moments fly Lyrics: 1. Alas! how swift the moments fly!
How flash the years along!
Scarce here, yet gone already by,
The burden of a song.
See childhood, youth, and manhood pass,
And age, with furrowed brow;
Time was—Time shall be—drain the glass—
But where in Time is now?
2. Time is the measure but of change;
No present hour is found;
The past, the future, fill the range
Of Time’s unceasing round.
Where, then is now? In realms above,
With God’s atoning Lamb,
In regions of eternal love,
Where sits enthroned I AM.
3. Then pilgrim, let thy joys and tears
On Time no longer lean;
But henceforth all thy hopes and fears
From earth’s affections wean:
To God let votive accents rise;
With truth, with virtue, live;
So all the bliss that Time denies
Eternity shall give. Used With Tune: GERALD
The Hour-Glass
Lift Up thine eyes, afflicted soul
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
Lift up thine eyes, afflicted soul!
From earth uplift thine eyes,
Though dark the shades of evening roll,
And daylight beauty dies;
One sun is set,--a thousand more
Their rounds of glory run,
Where science leads thee to explore
In every star a sun.
Thus, when some long-loved comfort ends,
And frailty would despair,
Faith to the heaven of heavens ascends,
And meets ten thousand there.
182
First faint and small, then clear and bright,
They gladden all the gloom,
As stars, that seem but points of light,
The rank of suns assume.

Love, Light a Candle in My Heart
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see inside
the fearful web of selfishness,
of arrogance and pride,
that traps my spirit, snares my will,
entangles me in sin.
Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see within.
2 Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see inside
to sweep away this tangled web
in which I try to hide.
Redeem my spirit, free my will,
and help me to begin.
Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see within.
3 Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see inside
to find compassion, joyful hope,
and faith may now abide
within the place where once a web
of selfishness had been.
Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see within.

Our Souls, By Love Together Knit
Author: W. E. Miller Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 234 hymnals First Line: Our souls by love together knit Lyrics: 1 Our souls by love together knit,
Cemented, mixed in one,
One hope, one heart, one mind, one voice,
’Tis Heav’n on earth begun;
Our hearts have burned while Jesus spoke,
And glowed with sacred fire;
He stopped and talked and fed, and blessed,
And filled th’enlarged desire.
2 We’re soldiers fighting for our God,
Let trembling cowards fly;
We’ll stand unshaken, firm and fixed,
With Christ to live and die:
Let devils rage and hell assail,
We’ll cut our passage through;
Let foes unite and friends desert,
We’ll seize the crown our due.
3 The little cloud increases still,
The heav’ns are big with rain;
We haste to catch the teeming shower,
And all its moisture drain:
A rill, a stream, a torrent flows,
But pour the mighty flood;
O sweep the nations, shake the earth,
Till all proclaim Thee God.
4 And when Thou makest up Thy jewels
And set Thy starry crown,
When all Thy sparkling gems shall shine,
Proclaimed by Thee Thine own;
May we, a little band of love,
We sinners saved by grace,
From glory into glory changed,
Behold Thee face to face. Used With Tune: GERALD Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, for the Use of Christians (Baltimore_ McCrea & Barnhill, 1801), alt.
