Christ, when for us you were baptized
Thus speaks the high and lofty One
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus speaks the high and lofty One;
ye tribes of earth, give ear;
The words of your Almighty King
with sacred rev’rence hear:
2 amidst the majesty of heav’n
my throne is fixed on high;
and through eternity I hear
the praises of the sky:
3 Yet, looking down, I visit oft
the humble hallow'd cell;
and with the penitent who mourn
’tis my delight to dwell;
4 the downcast spirit to revive,
the sad in soul to cheer;
and from the bed of dust the man
to heart contrite to rear.
5 With me dwells no relentless wrath
against the human race;
the souls which I have form'd shall find
a refuge in my grace. Scripture: Isaiah 57:15-16 Used With Tune: CAITHNESS

The Tender Love a Father Has
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
for all his children dear,
such love the Lord bestows on them
who worship him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
and all our frailty knows;
man's days are like the tender grass,
and as the flow'r he grows.
3 The flow'r is withered by the wind
that smites with blighting breath;
so man is quickly swept away
before the blast of death.
4 Unchanging is the love of God,
from age to age the same,
displayed to all who do his will
and reverence his name.
5 Those who his gracious cov'nant keep
the Lord will ever bless;
their children's children shall rejoice
to see his righteousness.

The Earth and All That Dwell Therein
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The earth, and all that dwell therein,
With all its wealth untold,
Belongs to God, who founded it
Upon the seas of old.
2 O who shall stand before the Lord
On Zion’s holy hill?
The clean of hand, the pure of heart,
The just who do God's will.
3 O everlasting doors, give way,
Lift up your heads, O gates!
For now, behold, to enter in
The King of Glory waits.
4 Who is this glorious King that comes
To sit upon the throne?
The Lord of Hosts, that one is King
Of glory, God alone.

The Earth and All That Dwell Therein
O Lord, thou hast me searched and known
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou hast me searched and known.
2 Thou knowest my sitting down,
and rising up; yea, all my thoughts
afar to thee are known.
3 My footsteps, and my lying down,
thou compassest always;
thou also most entirely art
acquaint with all my ways.
4 For in my tongue, before I speak,
not any word can be,
but altogether, lo, O Lord,
it is well known to thee.
5 Behind, before, thou hast beset,
and laid on me thine hand.
6 Such knowledge is too strange for me,
too high to understand.
7 Where from thy Spirit shall I go?
or from thy presence fly?
8 Ascend I heaven, lo, thou art there;
there, if in hell I lie.
9 Take I the wings of morn, and dwell
in utmost parts of sea;
10 even there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead,
thy right hand hold shall me.
11 If I do say that darkness shall
me cover from thy sight,
then surely shall the very night
about me be as light.
12 Yea, darkness hideth not from thee,
but night doth shine as day:
to thee the darkness and the light
are both alike alway.
13 Because thou hast possessed my reins,
and thou didst cover me,
when I within my mother’s womb
inclosed was by thee.
14 Thee will I praise, for fearfully
and strangely made I am;
thy works are wonderful, and well
my soul doth know the same.
15 When I was made in secret place,
my substance thou didst see;
when in the lowest parts of earth
I was wrought curiously.
16 While yet unformed my substance was,
thine eyes on it did look;
my days, while yet not one had dawned,
were written in thy book.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts,
O gracious God, to me!
and in their sum how passing great
and numberless they be!
18 If I should count them, than the sand
they more in number be:
what time soever I awake,
I ever am with thee.
19 Thou, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay:
hence from me bloody men.
20 Thy foes against thee loudly speak,
and take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate all those, O Lord,
that hatred bear to thee?
With those that up against thee rise
can I but grieved be?
22 With perfect hatred them I hate,
my foes I them do hold.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart,
try me, my thoughts unfold:
24 and see if any wicked way
there be at all in me;
and in thine everlasting way
to me a leader be. Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: CAITHNESS
O Lord, thou hast me searched and known
