Praise Ye the Lord, My Heart Shall Join
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Praise ye the Lord, my heart shall join
In work so pleasant, so divine;
Now, while the flesh is mine abode,
And when my soul ascends to God.
2. Praise shall employ my noblest powers,
While immortality endures;
My days of praise shall ne’er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last.
3. Why should I make a man my trust?
Princes must die and turn to dust;
Their breath departs, their pomp, and power,
And thoughts, all vanish in an hour.
4. Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel’s God; He made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train,
And none shall find His promise vain.
5. His truth forever stands secure;
He saves th’ oppressed, He feeds the poor;
He sends the laboring conscience peace,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
6. The Lord hath eyes to give the blind;
The Lord supports the sinking mind;
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless.
7. He loves his saints, He knows them well,
But turns the wicked down to hell:
Thy God, O Zion! ever reigns;
Praise Him in everlasting strains. Used With Tune: LUTON Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Ere mountains reared their forms sublime
Come, O my soul, in sacred lays
Author: Thomas Blacklock Appears in 279 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O my soul, in sacred lays,
Attempt thy great Creator's praise;
But O what tongue can speak his fame!
What mortal verse declare his name!
2 Enthroned amid the radiant spheres,
He glory like a garment wears;
To form a robe of light divine,
Ten thousand suns around him shine.
3 In all our Maker's grand designs,
Omnipotence with wisdom shines;
His works, through all this wondrous frame,
Declare the glory of his name.
4 Raised on devotion's lofty wing,
Do thou, my soul, his glories sing;
And let his praise employ thy tongue
Till listening worlds shall join the song. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Used With Tune: LUTON
Come, O my soul, in sacred lays
For thee, O God, our constant praise
Author: N. Tate; N. Brady Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For Thee, O God, our constant praise
In Sion waits, Thy chosen seat;
Our promised altars there we'll raise,
And all our zealous vows complete.
2 Thou, Who to every humble prayer
Dost always bend Thy listening ear,
To Thee shall all mankind repair,
An at Thy gracious throne appear.
3 Our sins, though numberless, in vain
To stop Thy flowing mercy try;
Whilst Thou o'erlook'st the guilty stain,
And washest out the crimson dye.
4 Blest is the man who, near Thee placed,
Within Thy sacred dwelling lives!
'Tis there abundantly we taste
The vast delights Thy temple gives.

Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise
Our hearts and voices in his praise;
His nature and his works invite
To make this duty our delight.
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem,
And gathers nations to his name;
His mercy melts the stubborn soul,
And makes the broken spirit whole.
3 He formed the stars, those heavenly flames,
He counts their numbers, calls their names:
His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound,
A deep, where all our thoughts are drowned.
4 Great is the Lord, and great his might,
And all his glories infinite;
He crowns the meek, rewards the just,
And treads the wicked to the dust.
5 But saints are lovely in his sight;
He views his children with delight;
He sees their hope, he knows their fear,
And looks, and loves his image there.
6 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest,
He's your defense, your joy, your rest:
When terrors rise and nations faint,
God is the strength of every saint. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Used With Tune: LUTON

No longer in thy sins lie down;
The garment of salvation take,
Thy beauty and thy strength put on.

And hides the promise from thine eyes;
Arise, and struggle into light,
The great Deliverer calls: Arise!
3. Shake off the bands of sad despair;
Zion, assert thy liberty;
Look up, thy broken heart prepare,
And God shall set the captive free.
4. Vessels of mercy, sons of grace,
Be purged from every sinful stain,
Be like your Lord, His Word embrace,
Nor bear His hallowed name in vain. Used With Tune: LUTON Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1741
