The Day You Gave Us, Lord, Is Ended
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 281 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113:3 Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, Lord, is ended,
the darkness falls at your request.
To you our morning hymns ascended;
your praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank you that your church, unsleeping
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
and never rests by day or night.
3 As over continent and island
each dawn leads to another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor do the praises die away.
4 So be it, Lord: your throne shall never,
like earth's proud kingdoms, pass away.
Your kingdom stands and grows forever,
until there dawns your glorious day.

The Day You Gave Us, Lord, Is Ended
Psalm 113
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113 First Line: Ye servants of th' Almighty King Lyrics:
Ye servants of th' Almighty King,
In every age his praises sing;
Where'er the sun shall rise or set,
The nations shall his praise repeat.
Above the earth, beyond the sky,
Stands his high throne of majesty;
Nor time nor place his power restrain,
Nor bound his universal reign.
Which of the sons of Adam dare,
Or angels, with their God compare?
His glories how divinely bright,
Who dwells in uncreated light!
Behold his love! he stoops to view
What saints above and angels do;
And condescends yet more to know
The mean affairs of men below.
From dust and cottages obscure,
His grace exalts the humble poor;
Gives them the honor of his sons,
And fits them for their heav'nly thrones.
[A word of his creating voice
Can make the barren house rejoice;
Though Sarah's ninety years were past,
The promised seed is born at last.
With joy the mother views her son,
And tells the wonders God has done:
Faith may grow strong when sense despairs,
If nature fails, the promise bears.]

My God, How Wonderful You Are
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 344 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113:5-6 Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful you are;
your majesty, how bright!
How beautiful your mercy seat
in depths of burning light!
2 How wonderful, how beautiful
the sight of you must be,
your endless wisdom, boundless power,
and awesome purity!
3 O how I fear you, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship you with trembling hope
and penitential tears!
4 Yet I may love you too, O Lord,
almighty as you are,
for you have stooped to ask of me
the love of my poor heart.
5 No earthly father loves like you,
no mother half so mild
bears and forbears as you have done
with me, your sinful child.
6 Father of Jesus, Love divine,
great King upon your throne,
what joy to see you as you are
and worship you alone!

Psalm 113
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113 First Line: Ye that delight to serve the Lord Lyrics:
Ye that delight to serve the Lord,
The honors of his name record,
His sacred name for ever bless;
Where'er the circling sun displays
His rising beams, or setting rays,
Let lands and seas his power confess.
Not time, nor nature's narrow rounds,
Can give his vast dominion bounds,
The heav'ns are far below his height:
Let no created greatness dare
With our eternal God compare,
Armed with his uncreated might.
He bows his glorious head to view
What the bright hosts of angels do,
And bends his care to mortal things;
His sovereign hand exalts the poor,
He takes the needy from the door,
And makes them company for kings.
When childless families despair,
He sends the blessing of an heir,
To rescue their expiring name;
The mother, with a thankful voice,
Proclaims his praises and her joys:
Let every age advance his fame.

praised be the LORD, the Mighty One.
He reigns o'er all, supreme in might,
above the heavens in glory bright.

the One who sits enthroned on high,
who condescends to see and know
the things of heaven and earth below?

with joy he fills the desolate.
The barren come to motherhood.
Sing hallelujah! God is good.

Hallelujah! Raise, O Raise
Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113 Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah! Raise, O raise
to our God the song of praise;
all his servants join to sing
God our Savior and our King.
2 Blessed be forevermore
that dread name which we adore:
round the world his praise be sung
through all lands, in ev'ry tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,
higher than the heav'ns his throne;
who is like to God Most High,
infinite in majesty!
4 Yet to view the heav'ns he bends;
yea, to earth he condescends;
passing by the rich and great,
for the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
with the princes of the land;
wealth upon the needy show'r:
set him with the high in pow'r.
6 He the broken spirit cheers:
turns to joy the mourner's tears;
such the wonders of his ways;
praise his name, forever praise!

Ye Saints and Servants of the Lord
Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113 Lyrics: 1 Ye Saints and Servants of the Lord,
The triumphs of his Name record;
2 His sacred Name forever bless.
3 Where-e'er the circling Sun displays
His rising Beams or setting Rays,
Due Praise to his great Name address.
4 God thro' the World extends his Sway:
The Regions of eternal Day
But Shadows of his Glory are.
5 To him, whose Majesty excels,
Who made the Heav'n wherein he dwells,
Let no created Pow'r compare.
6 Though 'tis beneath his State to view
In highest Heav'n what Angels do,
Yet he to Earth vouchsafes his Care:
He takes the Needy from his Cell,
Advancing him in Courts to dwell,
Companion to the Greatest there.
7 When Childless Families despair,
He sends the Blessing of an Heir,
To rescue their expiring Name:
Makes her that barren was, to bear,
And joyfully her Fruit to rear.
O then extol his matchless Fame!

1Praise God: ye servants of the Lord,
O praise, the Lord’s name praise.
2Yea, blessed be the name of God
from this time forth always.
3From rising sun to where it sets,
God’s name is to be prais’d.
4Above all nations God is high,
’bove heav’ns his glory rais’d.
5Unto the Lord our God that dwells
on high, who can compare?
6Himself that humbleth things to see
in heav’n and earth that are.
7He from the dust doth raise the poor,
that very low doth lie;
And from the dunghill lifts the man
oppress’d with poverty;
8That he may highly him advance,
and with the princes set;
With those that of his people are
the chief, ev’n princes great.
9The barren woman house to keep
he maketh, and to be
Of sons a mother full of joy.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
