O for a heart to praise my God
Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Book of Common Praise #543a (1939) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Trust and Resignation; Lent Tune Title: WETHERBY
O for a heart to praise my God
Ye heav'ns, send forth your song of praise!
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R24b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye heav’ns send forth your song of praise!
earth, raise your voice below!
Let hills and mountains join the hymn,
and joy through nature flow.
2 Behold how gracious is our God!
hear the consoling strains,
in which he cheers our drooping hearts,
and mitigates our pains.
3 Cease ye, when days of darkness come,
in sad dismay to mourn,
as if the Lord could leave his saints
forsaken or forlorn.
4 Can the fond mother e’er forget
the infant whom she bore?
and can its plaintive cries be heard,
nor move compassion more?
5 She may forget: nature may fail
a parent’s heart to move;
But Sion on my heart shall dwell
in everlasting love.
6 Full in my sight, upon my hands
I have engrav'd her name:
my hands shall build her ruin'd walls,
and raise her broken frame. Scripture: Isaiah 49:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: WETHERBY
Ye heav'ns, send forth your song of praise!
O God, my refuge, keep me safe
Author: David G. Preston (b. 1939) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #9 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, my refuge, keep me safe:
on you my good depends;
O Lord, you are my Lord alone,
your saints my choicest friends.
2 Whoever turns to other gods
will find remorse and shame;
to them I make no sacrifice,
nor will I speak their name.
3 The Lord is my inheritance,
a prize beyond compare;
his word instructs me day and night,
his own belovèd heir.
4 At all times I have set the Lord
before my face to stand;
no trial, no pain can shake my hope
with him at my right hand.
5 My heart and soul rejoice in you
and in your power to save:
you will not leave your Holy One
to perish in the grave.
6 You lead me to the path of life:
before your face I'll stand
and drink my fill of endless joys
that flow at your right hand. Topics: Eternal Life; God Protection of; Word of God Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English Tune Title: WETHERBY

Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P63b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, thee my God, I’ll early seek:
my soul doth thirst for thee;
my flesh longs in a dry parched land,
wherein no waters be:
2 that I thy power may behold,
and brightness of thy face,
as I have seen thee heretofore
within thy holy place.
3 Since better is thy love than life,
my lips thee praise shall give.
4 I in thy name will lift my hands,
and bless thee while I live.
5 Even as with marrow and with fat
my soul shall filled be;
then shall my mouth with joyful lips
sing praises unto thee.
6 When I do thee upon my bed
remember with delight,
I meditate on thee throughout
the watches of the night.
7 In shadow of thy wings I’ll joy;
for thou mine help hast been.
8 My soul thee follows hard; and me
thy right hand doth sustain.
9 To lowest depths of earth shall go
those who my soul would slay;
10 They by the sword shall perish all,
of foxes be the prey.
11 Yet shall the king in God rejoice,
and each one glory shall
that swear by him; but stopped shall be
the mouth of liars all. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English Tune Title: WETHERBY
Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek

How lovely is your dwelling-place
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P84c (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
O Lord of hosts, to me!
The tabernacles of thy grace
how pleasant, Lord, they be!
2 My thirsty soul longs veh’mently,
yea faints, thy courts to see;
my very heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for thee.
3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out
an house wherein to rest;
the swallow also for herself
provided hath a nest;
even thine own altars, where she safe
her young ones forth may bring,
O thou almighty Lord of hosts,
who art my God and King.
4 Blest are they in thy house that dwell,
they ever give thee praise.
5 Blest is the man whose strength thou art,
in whose heart are thy ways:
6 who as they pass through Baca’s vale,
make it a place of springs,
also the rain that falleth down
rich blessing to it brings.
7 So they from strength unwearied go
still forward unto strength,
until in Zion they appear
before the Lord at length.
8 Lord God of hosts, my prayer hear;
O Jacob’s God, give ear.
9 See, God our shield, look on the face
of thine anointed dear.
10 For in thy courts one day excels
a thousand; rather in
my God’s house will I keep a door,
than dwell in tents of sin.
11 For God the Lord’s a sun and shield:
he’ll grace and glory give;
and will withhold no good from them
that uprightly do live.
12 O thou that art the Lord of hosts,
that man is truly blest,
who with assured confidence
on thee alone doth rest. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: WETHERBY
How lovely is your dwelling-place
Behold Thy Waiting Servant
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #129 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold thy waiting servant, Lord Lyrics: 1 Behold thy waiting servant, Lord,
devoted to thy fear;
remember and confirm thy Word,
for all my hopes are there.
2 Thy mercies fill the earth, O Lord;
how good thy works appear!
Open my eyes to read thy Word
and see thy wonders there.
3 'Tis like a sun, a heav'nly light
that guides me all the day,
and through the dangers of the night
a lamp to lead my way.
4 O that thy statutes ev'ry hour
may dwell within my mind!
Thence I derive a quick'ning power,
and daily peace I find.
5 O that the Lord would guide my ways
to keep his statutes still:
O that my God may grant me grace
to know and do his will!
Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English Tune Title: WETHERBY
