Exalt the Lord, His Praise Proclaim

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1397 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Exalt the Lord, His praise proclaim; All ye His servants, praise His name, Who in the Lord’s house ever stand And humbly serve at His command. The Lord is good, His praise proclaim; Since it is pleasant, praise His name; His people for His own He takes And His peculiar treasure makes. 2. I know the Lord is high in state, Above all gods our Lord is great; The Lord performs what He decrees, In Heaven and earth, in depths and seas. He makes the vapors to ascend In clouds from earth’s remotest end; The lightnings flash at His command, He holds the tempest in His hand. 3. Exalt the Lord, His praise proclaim; All ye His servants, praise His name, Who in the Lord’s house ever stand And humbly serve at His command, Forever praise and bless His name, And in the church His praise proclaim; In Zion is His dwelling place; Praise ye the Lord, show forth His grace.

O God, I Cried, No Dark Disguise

Author: Edna St. Vincent Millay Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4853 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. O God, I cried, no dark disguise Can e’er hereafter hide from me Thy radiant identity, Thy radiant identity! I know the path that tells the way Thro’ the cool eve of every day. God, I can push the grass apart And lay my finger on Thy heart. 2. The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide; Above the world is stretched the sky— No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand; The soul can split the sky in two, And let the face of God shine thro’. Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

Oh Realm of Light

Author: Emily H. Miller Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5291 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Oh realm of light! whose morning star Lyrics: 1. Oh realm of light! whose morning star To Bethlehem’s manger led the way, Not yet upon our longing eyes Shines the full splendor of thy day: Yet still across the centuries fall, Both strong and sweet, our Lord’s command; And still with steadfast faith we cry, Behold, the kingdom is at hand! 2. Oh realm of Heav’n! whose dawn began With love’s divine, incarnate breath, Our hearts were slow to understand The lessons of that life and death: Yet though with stammering tongues we tell Redemption’s story, strange and sweet, The world’s Redeemer, lifted up Shall draw the nations to His feet. 3. Oh realm of peace! whose music clear Swept through Judea’s starlit skies, Still the harsh sounds of human strife Break on thy heavenly harmonies; Yet shall thy song of triumph ring In full accord, from land to land, And men with angels learn to sing, Behold, the kingdom is at hand!

The Spacious Firmament on High

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6268 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame Their great Original proclaim. Th’unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his creator’s powers display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. 2. Soon as the evening shades prevail The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; While all the stars that round her burn And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3. What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though no real voice nor sound Amid the radiant orbs be found? In reason’s ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, The hand that made us is divine. Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

Sweet Easter Bells

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6410 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: On mountain height, by peaceful shores Lyrics: 1. On mountain height, by peaceful shores, O’er sunny meads, in shaded dells; Awake, your sacred echoes, wake, Ring out your chimes, sweet Easter bells! Let humble fane and lofty dome Each answer each in tuneful swells, O’er every temple to His praise, Ring loud and clear sweet Easter bells. 2. The orb of day his course pursues, And in his path all shade dispels; With him encircling earth around, Ring out, ring out sweet Easter bells. Sweet Easter bells, glad Easter bells, Your liquid melody foretells That morn when death itself shall die, And Heaven ring, sweet Easter bells. Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

O God, Today We May Forget

Author: Nellie H. Butler Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8011 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God, today we may forget How awful and how great art Thou, The terrors that our sins have set Around Thy throne, about Thy brow; Thy will, unsearchable to man, Thy power that hath encompassed all— That whirled the spheres, ere time began, And marked rebellious angels’ fall. 2 O Jesus, now we cannot weep; Thy cross transfigured seems to rise. Celestial armies round it keep Eternal vigil in the skies. We cannot feel Thy suffering, Nor see Thy coronet of thorn; We only hear the seraphs sing That Christ, the Prince of Peace, is born. 3 O Holy Ghost, our Father’s gift, Suffuse our inmost beings, till Immortal joy our spirits lift, And holds them captive to Thy will. Today Thou dost not come to chide, Or bring our guilt before Thy face; But, pure and clean, we may abide In Thine own secret dwelling place. 4 A little child to us is given, A tender halo on His head, His smile hath caught the light of Heaven, And human woe is comforted! He sleeps in every stricken breast, He gazes into weary eyes. And lo! a blessèd peace and rest Steals on our hearts from Paradise. 5 Ah, soul of mine, canst thou withstand The presence of that Child divine, Or thrust aside the little hand He lays so trustingly in thine? Oh! join the world’s great hymn of love, That never ending, rapturous lay! While cherubim and saints above Adore the Babe of Christmas day. Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

Stupendous Grace

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8022 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Stupendous grace! and can it be Lyrics: 1 Stupendous grace! and can it be Designed for rebels such as we? O let our ardent praises rise High as our hopes beyond the skies! This flesh, by righteous vengeance slain, Might ever in the dust remain: There guilty spirits sent to dwell Midst all the flames and fiends of hell. 2 But lo! Incarnate Love descends; Down to the sepulcher it bends; Rising, it tears the bars away, And springs to its own native day. Then was our sepulcher unbarred, Then was our path to glory cleared; Then, if that Savior be our own, Did we ascend a heav’nly throne. 3 A moment shall our joy complete, And fix us in that shining seat, Bought by the pangs our Lord endured, And by unchanging truth secured. O may that love, in strains sublime, Be sung to the last hour of time! And let eternity confess, Thro’ all its rounds, the matchless grace. Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

Lord In The Unbeginning Years

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10500 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord! in the unbeginning years Lyrics: 1 Lord! in the unbeginning years, Whose course is wrapped in trackless night, Ere Thou hadst launched the heavenly spheres, Or waked this wandering world to light; What were Thy words, Thy works, and how Didst Thou Thy glorious march record? For Thou wert great and good, as now, Of love the source, of light the Lord. 2 And in the unending ages, far Beyond the utmost reach of mind, When all that is, and all that are, Shall leave not e’en a wreck behind: Oh! what shall be Thy bright career, Lord of the eternal, changeless will? Thou will be there supreme, as here— All wise, all good, almighty still! 3 Yes! shrouded in the mystery, The past, the future’s dark abyss, Bright clouds of splendor circle Thee, And light Thy path from bliss to bliss. This is our faith, our hope, our trust, Through thought’s immeasurable range, Time is a dream, and man is dust— But Thou—but Thou canst never change! Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION
