The Church is the Garden of GOD

Appears in 114 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92:12-15 First Line: Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand In gardens planted by thine hand; Let me within thy courts be seen, Like a young cedar, fresh and green. 2 There grow thy saints in faith and love, Blest with thine influence from above; Not Lebanon with all it's trees Yields such a comely sight as these. 3 The plants of grace shall ever live; (Nature decays, but grace must thrive) Time, that doth all things else impair, Still makes them flourish strong and fair. 4 Laden with fruits of age, they shew The LORD is holy, just, and true; None that attend his gates shall find A God unfaithful or unkind.

To render thanks unto the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: 1 To render thanks unto the Lord it is a comely thing, and to thy name, O thou Most High, due praise aloud to sing: 2 thy loving-kindness to show forth when shines the morning light; and to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure every night. 3 upon a ten-stringed instrument, and on the psaltery, upon the harp with solemn sound and grave sweet melody. 4 For thou, Lord, by thy mighty deeds hast gladness to me brought; and I will triumph in the works which by thy hands are wrought. 5 How great and wondrous, Lord, thy works! thy thought how deep it is! 6 A brutish man discerneth not, fools understand not this. 7 When even like unto the grass springs up the wicked race, and workers of iniquity do flourish all apace; 'Tis that cut off and quite destroyed they may for ever be: 8 but thou, O Lord, art throned on high, unto eternity. 9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, thine enemies perish shall; the workers of iniquity shall be dispersed all. 10 But like the unicorn's, my horn exalted is by thee: anointed also with fresh oil I am abundantly. 11 Mine eyes shall also my desire see on mine enemies; mine ears shall of the wicked hear, that do against me rise. 12 But like the palm-tree flourishing shall be the righteous one; he shall like to the cedar grow that is in Lebanon. 13 Those that within the house of God are planted by his grace, they shall grow up, and flourish all in our God’s holy place. 14 And in old age, when others fade, they fruit still forth shall bring; they shall be fat and full of sap, and aye be flourishing; 15 to show that upright is the Lord: he is a rock to me; and he from all unrighteousness is altogether free.

The Lord is King: upon His throne

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: The Lord is King:--upon His throne, He sits in garments glorious: Or girds for war His armour on, In every field victorious: The world came forth at his command; Built on His word its pillars stand; They never can be shaken. The Lord was King ere time began, His reign is everlasting: When high the floods in tumult ran, Their foam to heaven up-casting, He made the raging waves His path; The sea is mighty in its wrath, But God on high is mightier. Thy testimonies, Lord, are sure; Thy realm fears no commotion; Firm as the earth, whose shores endure The eternal toil of ocean: And Thou with perfect peace wilt bless Thy faithful flock;--for holiness Becomes Thine house for ever.

'Tis good, and sweet, to thank the Lord

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: 1. 'Tis good, and sweet, to thank the Lord ; Praise to thy Name to sing, Most-high. 2. Each Morn, thy Kindness, to record; And ev'ry Night, thy Verity. 3. Upon a Ten-string'd Instrument, With Psaltery, in sweet Compound; On sprightly Harp, in one Consent, With sacred Songs, and solemn Sound. 4. Thou, thro' thy Work of Pow'r,and Grace, O Lord, hast made my Heart rejoice; The Works thine Hand hath wro't, shall raise My shout to Thee, with thankful Voice. 5. How wondrous great thy Works are, Lord! And how profoundly deep thy Thought! 6. A brutish Man knows not thy Word; Nor Fools perceive what thou hast wrought. 7. When, like the Grass, the Wicked spring. And flourishing, look fresh, and fair; It is, that thou may'st on them bring An endless Ruin, and Despair. 8. But thou. Lord, ever art Most-high 9. For lo, thy Foes shall quite decay; And all that work Iniquity, In Wrath, shall be dispers'd away. 10. But thou, mine Horn, on high shalt raise, Fix'd as the Unicorn's, secure ; Thy fresh anointing Oyl conveys New Joys to me, unmix'd, and pure. 11. Mine Eyes shall see th' expected Doom, Mine Ears the dismal End shall hear, That on my secret Foes shall come; And those me open Malice bear. 12. The just, like fruitful Palms, shall thrive; Like Lebanon's tall Cedars grow. 13. They in the Lord's House planted, live. And flourish, in his Courts below. 14. They still bear Fruit, when aged grown; With Vigour fill'd, and Verdure crown'd. 15. The Lord, my Rock,thus upright's known; In him there's no Injustice found.
