My soul, repeat his praise

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #36 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat his praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when his wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heav'ns are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of his grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His grace subdues our sins; And his forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord To those who fear his name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower! If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 7 But thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

Come, sound his praise abroad

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #50 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, sound his praise abroad, And hymns of glory sing! Jehovah is the sov'reign God, The universal King. 2 He form'd the deeps unknown; He gave the seas their bound; The wat'ry worlds are all his own, And all the solid ground. 3 Come, worship at his throne; Come, bow before the Lord: We are his works, and not our own; He form'd us by his word. 4 Today attend his voice, Nor dare provoke his rod; Come, like the people of his choice, And own your gracious God!

O bless the Lord, my soul!

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #53 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O bless the Lord, my soul! Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless his name, Whose favours are divine. 2 O bless the Lord, my soul! Nor let His mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis he forgives thy sins; 'Tis he relieves thy pain; 'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses, And gives thee strength again. 4 He crowns thy life with love, When rescu'd from the grave; He that redeem'd my soul from death, Hath boundless pow'r to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the suff'rers rest. The Lord hath justice for the proud, And justice for th'oppressed. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known; But sent the world his truth and grace By his beloved Son.

My God, my life, my love

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #55 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, my life, my love, To thee, to thee, I call, I cannot live if thou remove, For thou art all in all. 2 Thy shining grace can cheer This dungeon where I dwell; 'Tis paradise when thou art here; If thou depart, 'tis hell. 3 To thee, and thee alone, The angels owe their bliss; They sit around thy gracious throne, And dwell where Jesus is. 4 Not all the harps above Can make a heavenly place, If God his residence remove, Or but conceal his face. 5 Nor earth, nor all the sky, Can one delight afford, No, not a drop of real joy, Without thy presence, Lord. 6 To thee my spirits fly With infinite desire, And yet how far from thee I lie! Dear Jesus raise me higher. Topics: God all, and in all; Praise to God Scripture: Psalm 73:25

Give to the winds thy fears

Raise your triumphant songs

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #106 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Raise your triumphant songs To an immortal tune. Let the wide earth resound the deeds Celestial grace has done. 2 Sing, how eternal love Its chief beloved chose, And bade him raise our wretched race From their abyss of woes. 3 His hand no thunder bears, Nor terror clothes his brow; No bolts to drive our guilty souls To fiercer flames below. 4 'Twas mercy filled the throne, No wrath stood frowning by, When Christ was sent with pardon down To rebels doomed to die. 5 Now sinners dry your tears; Let hopeless sorrow cease; Bow to the sceptre of his love, And take the offer'd peace.

Ye saints, proclaim abroad

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #112 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad The honours of your king; To Jesus your incarnate God, Your songs of praises sing. 2 Not angels round the throne Of majesty above, Are half so much oblig'd as we, To our Immanuel's love. 3 They never sunk so low, They are not rais'd so high; They never knew such depths of wo, Such heights of majesty. 4 The Saviour did not join Their nature to his own; For them he shed no blood divine, Nor breath'd a single groan. 5 May we with angels vie, The Saviour to adore; Our debts are greater far than theirs, O be our praises more!

And shall we still be slaves

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #130 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summon'd by a voice divine T' assert our liberty? 2 Did the great Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on his blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because thy grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all his wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That those, for whom thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. 5 The man that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold! how terribly he dies For his presumptuous fault. 6 But sorer vengeance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist his grace.

Author of life and bliss!

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #137 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Author of life and bliss! Thy goodness I adore. O give me strength to speak thy praise, And grace to love thee more! 2 First for this world, so fair, My daily thanks shall rise; For ev'ry comfort, ev'ry joy, Thy bounteous hand supplies. 3 But yet a nobler cause Demands my warmest love. Can words describe the wond'rous gift Descending from above? 4 The Saviour dwelt on earth; He died, that we might live; Endur'd the sorrows of the cross, Immortal hope to give. 5 Ah who can tell the scorn, The dear Redeemer bore? Or who describe the mental grief, Which his blest bosom tore? 6 Low in the grave he lay, While darkness veil'd the skies. But lo!--he bursts the bands of death; To glory see him rise! 7 Father! this work is thine; For us thou gav'st thy Son. O may we all devoted be, And live to thee alone!
