Let Songs Of Praises Fill The Sky
Author: Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let songs of praises fill the sky:
Christ, our ascended Lord,
Sends down His Spirit from on high
According to His Word:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
2 The Spirit, by His heav’nly breath,
Creates new life within;
He quickens sinners from the death
Of trespasses and sin:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
3 The things of Christ the Spirit takes
And shows them unto men:
The fallen soul His temple makes;
God’s image stamps again:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
4 Come, Holy Spirit, from above,
With Thy celestial fire;
O come, with flames of zeal and love
Our hearts and tongues inspire!
Be this our day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost Used With Tune: COURTLAND

Today a Wonder We Behold
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
To-day a wonder we behold,
A Mystery profound,--
The Great Invisible of old
Before our eyes is bound:
And He Who came to set us free,
Is held in base captivity.
26
The judge of all, to Whose assize
The race of man shall wend,
When He to judgement shall arise,
And forth the summons send,--
Behold Him, faultless and alone,
Before an earthly judgement throne.
And cruel hands are on Him laid,
And smite Him on the face,
'Though by Himself the hands were made,
Thus sullied with disgrace;
Creation, view the awful sight,
The creature his Creator smite.
He, Who Immortal Life bestows,
And hades' might defies,
Is hurried by relentless hands,
To Calvary, where He dies;--
And all is borne,--the scorn, the Cross,
In love to save our souls from loss.

Today a Wonder We Behold
Lord, when before Thy throne we meet
Author: Tresilian George Nicholas Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: The Lord's Supper
Lord, when before Thy throne we meet
Have We Not Known? Have We Not Heard
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Have we not known? Have we not heard
how from that throne on high
there sprang, at God's creative word,
our earth and sea and sky?
Beneath his heaven stands displayed
this firmly-founded world he made.
2 Our days on earth are in his hand,
our thread of life, how frail!
Before his greatness none can stand,
no mortal strength prevail.
All human pride and power must fall:
his kingdom stands and orders all.
3 The starry host he holds in place
and they his power proclaim;
beyond the darkest depths of space
he knows them all by name.
No hand but his could set them there,
no mind in majesty compare.
4 Have we not heard? Have we not known
how God shall still sustain
the heart that looks to him alone
and his eternal reign?
where borne aloft on eagles' wings
we share the song creation sings. Topics: Creation; God Father; Providence; Trust Scripture: Isaiah 40:21-31
Have We Not Known? Have We Not Heard
In heaven above, in heaven above
Author: Johan Aström Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In heaven above, in heaven above,
Where God, our Father, dwells:
How boundless there the blessedness!
No tongue its greatness tells:
There face to face, and full and free,
Ever and evermore we see -
We see the Lord of hosts!
2 In heaven above, in heaven above,
What glory deep and bright!
The splendor of the noonday sun
Grows pale before its light:
The mighty sun that ne’er goes down,
Around whose gleam clouds never frown,
Is God, the Lord of hosts.
3 In heaven above, in heaven above,
Behold a countless throng!
Angels in mystic radiance garbed
Lead the triumphal song:
Angels and saints are one, and I
Join glad the gladdest company,
and hail the Lord of hosts.
4 In heaven above, in heaven above,
No tears of pain are shed:
For nothing there can fade or die;
Life’s fulness round is spread,
And like an ocean, joy o’erflows,
And with immortal mercy glows
Our God the Lord of hosts.
5 In heaven above, in heaven above,
God hath a joy prepared,
Which mortal ear hath never heard,
Nor mortal vision shared,
Which never pierced to mortal breast,
By mortal lips was ne'er expressed,
O God, the Lord of hosts!
6 O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Accept my thankful praise:
Give me, as to the happy ones,
Treasure of endless days.
If firm in faith and hope I stand,
I gain the crown, the better land,
O God the Lord of hosts.

A Fount of mercy, Lord, Thou art
Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
A Fount of mercy, Lord, Thou art,
Perennial and Divine;
Thou Source of every lasting good,
All needed grace is Thine;
Now to the sufferer healing give,
And touch the sick, that he may live.
O Saviour, Who alone art God,
Thy hand is quick to heal,
For Thou didst wear our feeble flesh,
And all its ailments feel;
And Thou canst make the sufferer whole,
And save the sin-afflicted soul.
115
O Christ, the great Physician Thou,
Tender and full of power;
Now with the oil of grace anoint
The sufferer at this hour;
Bid Thou the pain and weakness cease,
And give the sore afflicted peace.
A Fount of mercy, Lord, Thou art
Lord of My Life!

Hath led me on till now,
Here lowly at the hour of prayer
Before Thy throne I bow;
I bless Thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for another day.
2. Oh, may I daily, hourly, strive
In heavenly grace to grow;
To Thee and to Thy glory live,
Dead to all else below;
Tread in the path my Savior trod,
Though thorny, yet the path to God.
3. With prayer my humble praise I bring
For mercies day by day;
Lord! teach my heart Thy love to sing,
Lord! teach me how to pray;
All that I have, I am, to Thee
I offer, through eternity.

Here lowly at the hour of evening prayer
Before Thy radiant throne I humbly bow;
I bless Thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for this day.

In heav’nly grace to grow;
To Thee and to Thy glory ever live,
Dead to all other earthly things below;
Tread in the path my Savior trod,
Though thorny, yet to God.
3. With prayers my humble praise I bring
For mercies day by day;
Lord! teach my willing heart Thy love to sing,
Lord! teach me now and ever how to pray;
All that I have, I give to Thee
Through all eternity. Used With Tune: WESSEX Text Sources: Appeared in Church of England Magazine, February 1838, signed Ω Chelsea
