Praise to God, Immortal Praise

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 614 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Praise to God, immortal praise, For the love that crowns our days; Bounteous source of every joy, Let Thy praise our tongues employ. 2. Flocks that whiten all the plain; Yellow sheaves of ripened grain; Clouds that drop their fattening dews, Suns that temperate warmth diffuse. 3. All that spring with bounteous hand Scatters o’er the smiling land; All that liberal autumn pours From her rich o’erflowing stores. 4. These to Thee, my God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow; And for these my soul shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. 5. Yet, should rising whirlwinds tear From its stem the ripening ear; Should the fig tree’s blasted shoot Drop her green untimely fruit, 6. Should the vine put forth no more, Nor the olive yield her store; Though the sickening flocks should fall, And the herds desert the stall, 7. Yet to Thee my soul shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise; And, when every blessing’s flown Love Thee for Thyself alone.

Glory be to God above

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory be to God above, God from whom all blessings flow; Make we mention of his love, Publish we his praise below: 2 Called together by his grace, We are met in Jesus' name; See with joy each other's face, Followers of the bleeding Lamb. 3 More and more let love abound; Let us never, never rest, Till we are in Jesus found, And of paradise possessed.

While we walk with God in light

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While we walk with God in light, God our hearts doth still unite; Dearest fellowship we prove, Fellowship in Jesus' love: 2 Sweetly each, with each combined, In the bonds of duty joined, Feels the cleansing blood applied, Daily feels that Christ hath died. 3 Still, O Lord, our faith increase; Cleanse from all unrighteousness; Thee the unholy cannot see, Make, O make us meet for thee; 4 Every vile affection kill, Root out every seed of ill, Utterly abolish sin, Write thy law of love within. 5 Hence may all our actions flow, Love the proof that Christ we know; Mutual love the token be, Lord, that we belong to thee: 6 Love, thine image, love impart, Stamp it now on every heart; Only love to us be given; Love, the crowning grace of heaven.

Now Our Worship Sweet Is O'er

Author: M. Loy; M. H. Schenck Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now our worship sweet is o'er -- Singing, praying, teaching, hearing, Let us gladly God adore For His Word so true and cheering; Bless His name, Who deigned to save us, For the rich repast He gave us. 2 Now the blessing cheers our heart, By His grace to us extended; Let us joyfully depart, Be our souls to God commended: May His Spirit ever guide us And with all good things provide us. 3 Let our going out be blest, And our entrance in like measure; Bless, O Lord, our toil and rest, Bless our bread, our grief and pleasure; Be in death Thy blessing given; Make us joyful heirs of heaven.

Blessed Jesus, At Thy Word

Author: H. Brueckner; T. Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy word We are gathered now to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear Thee, By Thy teachings sweet and holy Drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded Till the Spirit breaks our night With the beams of truth unclouded. Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious God, Thyself impart! Light of light, from God proceeding, Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading; Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Praise to Thee and adoration! Give us what our hearts need most, Be Thy Word our consolation! For Thy blessings we implore Thee Till in heaven we adore Thee. Topics: Opening of Worship Used With Tune: NUREMBERG
