I've found the Pearl of greatest price

Author: Mason Hymnal: VoP1873 #256 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Chronicles 6 Lyrics: 1 I've found the Pearl of greatest price, My heart doth gladly cry, And sing I must, for Christ I have, A precious Christ have I. 2 Christ Jesus is the Lord of lords, He is the King of kings, He is the Sun of righteousness, With healing in his wings. 3 Christ is my Father and my Friend, My Brother and my Love; My Head, my Hope, my Counselor, My Advocate above. 4 Christ Jesus is the Heaven of heaven; My Christ, what shall I call: Christ is the first, Christ is the last, Yea, Christ is all in all. 5 All glory to the God of love, One God in persons three; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost One equal glory be.

Let Zion's watchman all awake

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: VoP1873 #556 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Chronicles 6:41 Lyrics: 1 Let Zion's watchmen all awake, And take th' alarm they give; Now let them from the mouth of God Their awful charge receive. 2 'Tis not a cause of small import The pastor's care demands, But what might fill an angel's heart, And fill'd a Saviour's hands. 3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord Did heavenly bliss forego-- For souls which must forever live In rapture or in woe. 4 May they that Jesus whom they preach, Their own Redeemer see; And watch thou daily o'er their souls, That they may watch for thee.

Author: Bryant Hymnal: VoP1873 #568 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Chronicles 6:41 Lyrics: 1 O thou, whose own vast temple stands Built over earth and sea, Accept the walls that human hands Have raised to worship thee. 2 Lord, from thine inmost glory send, Within these courts to bide, The peace that dwelleth, without end, Serenely by thy side. 3 May erring minds that worship here Be taught the better way; And they who mourn, and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray. 4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, And pure devotion rise, While round these hallowed walls the swarm Of earth-born passion dies!

The Lord Jehovah reigns

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #116 (1873) Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns, His throne is build on high; The garments he assumes Are light and majesty; His glories shine with beams so bright, Nor mortal eye can bear the sight. 2 The thunders of his hand Keep the wide world in awe; His wrath and justice stand, To guard his holy law; And where his love resolves to bless, His truth confirms and seals the grace. 3 Through all his perfect work, Surprising wisdom shines; Confounds the powers of hell, And breaks their cursed designs: Strong is his arm--and shall fulfill His great decrees, his sovereign will. 4 And can this mighty King Of glory condescend-- And will he write his name, My Father and my Friend? I love his name, I love his word; Join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Topics: Attributes of God Justice; God Reigns

Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name!

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #24 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:13 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name! Thy glories how diffused abroad, Through the creation's frame. 2 Nature in every dress Her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t' express Thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her Creator too; Fain would my tongue adore my King, And pay the worship due. 4 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true, Until 't is formed again. 5 Descend, celestial fire, And seize me from above; Melt me in flames of pure desire, A sacrifice to love. 6 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God, my soul, ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.

Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray

Author: Hyde Hymnal: VoP1873 #744 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ezra 8:2 Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, if these lambs should stray Beyond thy blest enclosure's bound; And, lured by worldly joys away, Among the thoughtless crowd be found; 2 Remember, still, that they are thine, And that thy sacred name they bear; The precious seal of love divine, The sign of cov'nant grace they wear. 3 In all their wand'rings, hopes, and fears, Oh, let them ne'er forgotten be; Remember all the prayers and tears Which made them consecrate to thee. 4 And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Still turn their feet from folly's way; The wand'rers to thy fold restore.

Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #60 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Nehemiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise, Thee the creations sing: With thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas, And heaven's high palace ring. 2 Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky, How glorious to behold! Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, And starred with sparkling gold. 3 There thou hast bid the globes of light Their endless circuits run; There the pale planet rules the night; The day obeys the sun. 4 If down I turn my wandering eyes On clouds and storms below, Those under-regions of the skies, Thy numerous glories show. 5 The noisy winds stand ready there Thy orders to obey; With sounding winds they sweep the air, To make thy chariot way. 6 But the mild glories of thy grace, Our softer passions move; Pity divine in Jesus' face We see, adore, and love.
