Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning 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 wanderer, 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 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless. Let Thy grace, 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. Amen.

Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah (Psalter)

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: Hallelujah, praise Jehovah Lyrics: 1. Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, O my soul, Jehovah praise; I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days. Put no confidence in princes, Nor for help on man depend; He shall die, to dust returning, And his purposes shall end. 2. Happy is the man that chooses Israel’s God to be his aid; He is blest whose hope of blessing On the Lord his God is stayed. Heaven and earth the Lord created, Seas and all that they contain; He delivers from oppression, Righteousness He will maintain. 3. Food He daily gives the hungry, Sets the mourning prisoner free, Raises those bowed down with anguish, Makes the sightless eyes to see. Well Jehovah loves the righteous, And the stranger He befriends, Helps the fatherless and widow, Judgment on the wicked sends. 4. Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, O my soul, Jehovah praise; I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days. Over all God reigns forever, Through all ages He is King; Unto Him, thy God, O Zion, Joyful hallelujahs sing. Used With Tune: RIPLEY Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

At the font my vows were spoken By my parents in the Lord; That my vows shall be unbroken, At the altar I record. 2 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, O my only Guard from harm! Meet me now with Thy salvation, In the Church’s ordered way; Let me feel Thy confirmation In Thy truth and fear to-day: 3 So that, faith and firmness gaining, Hope in danger, joy in grief, Now and evermore remaining Steadfast in the true belief, Resting in my Saviour’s merit, Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength, With Thy Church I may inherit All my Father’s joy at length.

Savior, sprinkle many nations

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee! Of Thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. 2 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast, Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. 3 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting! Stretched the hand, and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. Give the Word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung! Topics: The Church Year Mission Used With Tune: RIPLEY

We are weak, do Thou uphold us, And from every snare defend: Let Thy mighty arms enfold us, Save us, keep us, to the end. 3 Oh, our Father, great and glorious! Draw our youthful hearts to Thee; Let Thy grace be there victorious, Let thy love our portion be. May we know thy great salvation, Serve and love Thee all our days; Then in heaven, Thy habitation, Join to sing Thine endless praise. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: RIPLEY

The Apostles' Creed

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I believe in God the Father Lyrics: 1 I believe in God the Father, Maker of the heav'n and earth, and in Jesus Christ, our Savior, God's own Son, of matchless worth; by the Holy Ghost conceived, virgin Mary bore God's Son, he in whom I have believed: God Almighty, Three in One. 2 Suffered under Pontius Pilate, crucified, enduring hell, laid within the grave so silent, as the prophets did foretell. But the stone-sealed tomb was emptied on the third day; he arose: into heaven made his entry, Mighty Conqueror of his foes. 3 At God's right hand he is seated, 'til his coming, as he said; final judgment will be meted to the living and the dead. I confess the Holy Spirit has been sent thro' Christ the Son to apply salvation's merit; God the Spirit, Three in One. 4 I believe the church of Jesus holy, catholic remains; we are one thro' all the ages, the communion of the saints. I believe sins are forgiven, that our bodies will be raised, life with God is never ended. Amen, let his name be praised!
