O Lord, Be Thou My Helper True
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be thou my helper true,
for just and godly men are few;
the faithful who can find?
From truth and wisdom men depart,
with flattering lips and double heart
they speak their evil mind.
2 The lips that speak, the truth to hide,
the tongues of arrogance and pride,
that boastful words employ,
false-speaking tongues that boast their might,
that own no law, that know no right,
Jehovah will destroy.
3 Because the poor are sore oppressed,
because the needy are distressed,
and bitter are their cries,
the Lord will be their helper strong;
to save them from contempt and wrong
Jehovah will arise.
4 Jehovah's promises are sure,
his words are true, his words are pure
as silver from the flame.
Though base men walk on ev'ry side,
his saints are safe, whate'er betide,
protected by his name.

God the Lord Is King
Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God the Lord is King: before him
earth with all your nations, wait!
Where the cherubim adore him
sits our God in royal state.
He is holy; he is holy;
blessed, only Potentate!
2 God the Lord is King of glory;
Zion, tell the world his fame;
ancient Israel, the story
of his faithfulness proclaim:
He is holy; he is holy;
holy is his awesome name.
3 Laws divine to them were spoken
from the pillar of the cloud;
sacred precepts quickly broken;
fiercely then his vengeance flowed.
He is holy; he is holy;
to the dust their hearts were bowed.
4 But their Father, God, forgave them
when they sought his face once more:
ever ready was to save them,
tenderly did he restore.
He is holy; he is holy;
we too will his grace implore.

O Light That Knew No Dawn
Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925; Gregory of Nazianzus, 325-290 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Light that knew no dawn,
that shines to endless day,
all things in earth and heav'n
are lustred by thy ray;
no eye can to thy throne ascend,
nor mind thy brightness comprehend.
2 Thy grace, O Father, give,
that I may serve in fear;
above all boons, I pray,
grant me thy voice to hear;
from sin thy child in mercy free,
and let me dwell in light with thee:
3 That, cleansed from stain of sin,
I may meet homage give,
and, pure in heart, behold
thy beauty while I live;
clean hands in holy worship raise,
and thee, O Christ my Savior, praise.
4 In supplication meek
to thee I bend the knee;
O Christ, when thou shalt come,
in love remember me,
and in thy kingdom, by thy grace,
grant me a humble servant's place.
5 Thy grace, O Father, give,
I humbly thee implore;
and let thy mercy bless
thy servant more and more.
All grace and glory be to thee,
from age to age eternally.

God of Gods, We Sound His Praises
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of gods, we sound his praises,
highest heav'n its homage brings;
earth and all creation raises
glory to the King of kings.
Holy, holy, holy, name him,
Lord of all his hosts proclaim him,
to the everlasting Father
every tongue in triumph sings.
2 Christians in their hearts enthrone him,
tell his praises wide abroad;
prophets, priests, apostles own him
martyrs' crown and saints' reward.
Three-in-one his glory sharing,
earth and heav'n his praise declaring,
praise the high majestic Father,
praise the everlasting Lord.
3 Hail the Christ, the King of glory,
he whose praise the angels cry,
born to share our human story,
love and labor, grieve and die.
By his cross his work completed,
sinners ransomed, death defeated,
in the glory of the Father
Christ ascended reigns on high.
4 Lord, we look for your returning,
teach us so to walk your ways,
hearts and minds your will discerning,
lives alight with joy and praise.
In your love and care enfold us,
by your constancy uphold us,
may your mercy, Lord and Father,
keep us now and all our days.
