From Thy bright heav’nly throne;
Come, take possession of our souls,
And make them all Thine own.

Best gift of God above,

Sweet unction and true love.

Finger of God’s right hand;

To speak and understand.

With love our hearts inflame;
And with Thy strength, which ne’er decays,
Confirm our mortal frame.

Beneath Thy sacred wing.

Today, O Lord, before our eyes
O Lord, thy judgments give the king
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thy judgments give the king,
his son thy righteousness.
2 With right he shall thy people judge,
thy poor with uprightness.
3 The lofty mountains shall bring forth
unto the people peace;
likewise the little hills the same
shall do by righteousness.
4 The people’s poor ones he shall judge,
the needy’s children save;
and those shall he in pieces break
who them oppressed have.
5 They shall thee fear, while sun and moon
do last, through ages all.
6 Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,
or showers on earth that fall.
7 The just shall flourish in his days,
and prosper in his reign:
he shall, while doth the moon endure,
abundant peace maintain.
8 His large and great dominion shall
from sea to sea extend:
it from the river shall reach forth
unto earth’s utmost end.
9 They in the wilderness that dwell
bow down before him must;
and they that are his enemies
shall lick the very dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish, and the isles,
to him shall presents bring;
and unto him shall offer gifts
Sheba’s and Seba’s king.
11 Yea, all the mighty kings on earth
before him down shall fall;
and all the nations of the world
do service to him shall.
12 For he the needy shall preserve,
when he to him doth call;
also the poor, and him that hath
no help of man at all.
13 The poor man and the indigent
in mercy he shall spare;
he shall preserve alive the souls
of those that needy are.
14 Both from deceit and violence
their soul he shall set free;
and in his sight right precious
and dear their blood shall be.
15 Yea, he shall live, and given to him
shall be of Sheba’s gold:
For him still shall they pray, and he
all day shall be extolled.
16 Of corn an handful in the earth
on tops of mountains high,
with prosperous fruit shall shake, like trees
on Lebanon that be.
The city shall be flourishing,
her citizens abound
in number shall, like to the grass
that grows upon the ground.
17 His name for ever shall endure;
last like the sun it shall:
men shall be blessed in him, and blessed
all nations shall him call.
18 Now blessed be the Lord our God,
the God of Israel,
For he alone doth wondrous works,
in glory that excel.
19 And blessed be his glorious name
to all eternity:
the whole earth let his glory fill.
Amen, so let it be. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: TALLIS'S ORDINAL

Now through the grace of God we claim
Earth thou dost visit, watering it
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 9 Earth thou dost visit, watering it;
thou mak’st it rich to grow
with God’s full flood; thou corn provid’st,
when thou prepar'st it so.
10 Its ridges thou dost water well,
its furrows down dost press;
thou mak'st it soft with plenteous rain,
its spring thou dost bless.
11 So thou the year most liberally
dost with thy goodness crown;
and all thy paths abundantly
on us drop fatness down.
12 They drop upon the pastures wide,
that in the desert lie;
the little hills on every side
rejoice right pleasantly.
13 With flocks the pastures clothed be,
the vales with corn are clad;
and now they shout and sing to thee,
for thou hast made them glad.

Behold! The Ambassador Divine
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Behold! the Ambassador divine,
Descending from above,
To publish to mankind the law
Of everlasting love.
2 On Him, in rich effusion poured,
The heav’nly dew descends;
And truth divine He shall reveal
To earth’s remotest ends.
3 No trumpet sound, at His approach,
Shall strike the wondering ears;
But still and gentle breathe the voice
In which the God appears.
4 By His kind hand the shaken reed
Shall raise its falling frame;
The dying embers shall revive,
And kindle to a flame.
5 The onward progress of His zeal
Shall never know decline,
Till foreign lands and distant isles
Receive the law divine.
6 He who spread forth the arch of heav’n,
And bade the planets roll,
Who laid the basis of the earth,
And formed the human soul—
7 Thus saith the Lord, “Thee have I sent,
A prophet from the sky,
Wide o’er the nations to proclaim
The message from on high.
8 “Before Thy face the shades of death
Shall take to sudden flight;
The people who in darkness dwell
Shall hail a glorious light;
9 “The gates of brass shall ’sunder burst,
The iron fetters fall;
The promised jubilee of Heav’n
Appointed rise o’er all.
10 “And lo! presaging Thy approach,
The heathen temple shake,
And trembling in forsaken fanes,
The fabled idols quake.
11 I am Jehovah: I am One:
My name shall now be known;
No idol shall usurp My praise,
Nor mount into My throne.
12 Lo, former scenes, predicted once,
Conspicuous rise to view;
And future scenes, predicted now,
Shall be accomplished, too.
13 Now sing a new song to the Lord!
Let earth His praise resound;
Ye who upon the ocean dwell,
And fill the isles around.
14 O city of the Lord! begin
The universal song;
And let the scattered villages
The joyful notes prolong.
15 Let Kedar’s wilderness afar
Lift up the lonely voice;
And let the tenants of the rock
With accent rude rejoice.
16 O from the streams of distant lands
Unto Jehovah sing!
And joyful from the mountain tops
Shout to the Lord the King!
17 Let all combined with one accord
Jehovah’s glories raise,
Till in remotest bounds of earth
The nations sound His praise. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Originally in the Scottish Translations and Paraphrases, 1745 as "Behold my Servant! See Him Rise"; Recast version: John Logan's Poems 1781

Who from the impris'ning grave
Restored the Shepherd of the sheep,
Omnipotent to save.

Which He on Calv'ry spilt,
To make the eternal cov'nant sure,
On which our hopes are built.

To accomplish all His will;
And all that's pleasing in His sight,
Inspire us to fulfil.

We every blessing pray;
With glory let His name be crown'd,
Through heaven's eternal day.
