O Worship the King all glorious above
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,146 hymnals Topics: God Love and Mercy; God the Father God in Nature; God the Father His Majesty and Power; Worship; liturgical Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!
5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,
whom angels delight to worship above!
Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,
in true adoration shall sing to your praise!
Psalter Hymnal, (Gray)
O Worship the King all glorious above
Come, ye thankful people, come
Author: H. Alford Appears in 727 hymnals Topics: Various Occasions Thanksgiving Day; Various Occassions Thanksgiving Day Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All be safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied;
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown:
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day
All offenses purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come,
To Thy final harvest home!
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There for ever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home! Used With Tune: [Come, ye thankful people, come]

All praise to thee, my God, this night
Author: Thomas Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,048 hymnals Topics: The Church The Lord's Day Evening Lyrics: 1 All praise to thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Beneath thine own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
The ills that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 O may my soul on thee repose,
And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
Sleep that may me more vig'rous make
To serve my God when I awake.
4 When in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heav'nly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
No pow'rs of darkness me molest.
5 O when shall I in endless day
For ever chase dark sleep away,
And hymns with the supernal choir
Incessant sing, and never tire!
6 Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav'nly host:
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Great God, we sing that mighty hand
Author: Rev. Philip Doddridge Appears in 491 hymnals Topics: New Year's Day Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The op'ning year Thy mercy shows--
Let mercy crowns it till it close.
2 By day, at night, at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God;
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt our songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues,
Our helper, God, in whom we trust,
In better words our soul shall boast. Used With Tune: MENDON

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus (675?-749?); John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Easter Day Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness:
God has brought his Israel
Into joy from sadness;
Loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
Led them with unmoistened foot
Through the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today;
Christ has burst his prison,
And from three days' sleep in death
As a sun has risen;
All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying
From his light, to whom we give
Laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
With the day of splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts,
Comes its joy to render;
Comes to glad Jerusalem,
Who with true affection
Welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither might the gates of death,
Nor the tomb’s dark portal,
Nor the watchers, nor the seal,
Hold you as a mortal:
But today amid the twelve
You did stand, bestowing
That your peace, which evermore
Passes human knowing.
5 "Alleluia!" now we cry
To our King immortal,
Who, triumphant, burst the bars
Of the tomb’s dark portal;
"Alleluia!" with the Son
God the Father praising;
"Alleluia!" yet again
To the Spirit raising.
Amen. Scripture: John 20:1-14 Used With Tune: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM

That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light is lifted
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chest so precious,
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floats e'er like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shines out like a beacon
Above the darkening world.
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides to Christ who saves.
4 O make your Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations
Your true light, as of old.
O teach your wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see you face to face.
