Stand Up, O God, Be Present Now

Author: Michael Seward, b. 1932 Hymnal: TH1990 #71 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 Stand up, O God, be present now, and all who hate you, let them run like driven smoke, like melting wax, bound for destruction, doomed to die. But let the righteous sing and dance, yes, sing and dance and shout for joy, for he who rides upon the clouds is coming, as he came of old. His justice vindicates the oppressed, he frees the pris'ner, brings him home. Refrain: Stand up, O God, be present now, and we will sing and shout for joy. 2 Stand up, O God, be present now, as once on Sinai you were heard by those who left the prison's chain, who crossed the sea and faced the sand. They ate the manna, drank from springs provided by your gracious love. They watched as mighty armies fled, and so they gained the promised land. Now, marching on to Zion's mount, we see the heav'nly hosts descend. [Refrain] 3 Stand up, O God, be present now, and we, your people, will rejoice, for you have saved us from the pit, for you have brought us back from death. So, to your holy place, we come with choirs and music, young and old. Rebuke the godless, cast them down till humbled, they for mercy call; then men shall listen for your voice as riding through the heav'ns you come.

God is Working His Purpose Out

Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Hymnal: TH1990 #74 (1990) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year: God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, where human feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God: "Give ear to me, you continents, ye isles, give ear to me," that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 3 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world: fight we the fight with sorrow and sin to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Lord, with Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: TH1990 #80 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee for the bliss thy love bestows, for the pard'ning grace that saves me, and the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; this dull soul to rapture raise; thou must light the flame, or never can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, wretched wand'rer far astray; found thee lost, and kindly brought thee from the paths of death away. Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, him who saw thy guilt-born fear, and, the light of hope revealing, bade the blood-stained cross appear. 3 Praise thy Savior God that drew thee to that cross, new life to give, held a blood-sealed pardon to thee, bade thee look to him and live. praise the grace whose threats alarmed thee, roused thee from thy fatal ease; praise the grace whose promise warmed thee, praise the grace that whispered peace. 4 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling vainly would my lips express; low before thy footstool kneeling, deign thy suppliant's pray'r to bless. Let thy love, my soul's chief treasure, love's pure flame within me raise; and, since words can never measure, let my life show forth thy praise.
