Our God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: RITL1985 #1 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home: 2 under the shadow of thy throne thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting thou art God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all our years away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home.

O Worship the King

Author: Sir Robert Grant Hymnal: RITL1985 #2 (1985) Meter: 5.5.5.5.6.5.6.5 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, O 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 This earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old; hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy 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. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end! Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays, with true adoration shall sing to thy praise.

Let All the World Rejoice

Author: John Hunt Hymnal: RITL1985 #8 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Let all the world rejoice, the Lord almighty reigns; the thunders are his voice, our life his will ordains: unequalled, sov'reign and alone in majesty he fills his throne. 2 Glad was the angel throng to see his might prevail; they sang their joyful song the universe to hail; while yet in radiant youth it stood, th'eternal Word pronounced it good. 3 The heav'ns and earth he made by his prevailing might; his eye all things surveyed, he scattered ancient night, and heav'n and earth and sky and sea proclaimed his glorious majesty. 4 But this fair world shall die, the creature of a day, in cooling ashes lie, its glory passed away; the pride and glory of the earth shall be as ere they had their birth. 5 Yet ever fixed the throne of the eternal One shall stand when earth is gone, and time its race has run. New worlds his power can make at will, new creatures can his praise fulfill. 6 The outskirts of his ways appear to mortal sight; the fullness of his praise exceeds an angel's flight; but here is truth all truth above: mortals may bless immortal love.

All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Hymnal: RITL1985 #9 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; the hand that shaped the rose hath wrought the crystal of the snow, hath sent the hoary frost of heaven, the flowing waters sealed, and laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. 2 O’er white expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold; the solemn splendors of the night burn brighter through the cold; life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth, Aad clearer sounds the angel hymn, “Good will to all on earth.” 3 O thou from whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, thyself the vision passing by in crystal and in rose, day unto day doth utter speech, and night to night proclaim, in ever changing words of light, The wonder of thy name.

I Sing th'Almighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: RITL1985 #10 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I sing th'amighty power of God that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule by day; the moon shines full at his command, and all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; he form'd the creatures with his word, and then pronounced them good. Lord, how thy wonders are displayed where’er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky! 3 Creatures, as num'rous as they be, are subject to thy care; there's not a place where we can flee, but God is present there. His hand is my perpetual guard, he keeps me with his eye; why should I then forget the Lord, who is forever nigh?
