We Praise Thee, O God

Author: Ambrose M. Schmidt Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: We praise Thee, O God, our Lord and our king Lyrics: 1. We praise Thee, O God, our Lord and our king, Accept Thou the praise we gratefully bring; Thanksgiving and worship we offer to Thee, Thou ruler of nations, in whom we are free. 2. We praise Thee, O God, for Thy guiding hand, In leading Thy church to freedom’s fair land; Through sore persecution our fathers here came, Where free and unfettered they worshipped Thy name. 3. We praise Thee, O God, for years of increase, For faith unassailed, prosperity, peace; United we offer our anthem of praise, To Thee, our supporter, our Ancient of Days. 4. We pray Thee, O Christ, our Savior and friend, From error and strife Thy Zion defend; Breathe on us, we pray Thee, O Spirit of love, And fit us for union with Thy church above.

Disposer Supreme, and Judge of the Earth

Author: Jean B. de Santeuil; Isaac Williams Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth, Who choosest for Thine the weak and the poor; To frail earthen vessels and things of no worth Entrusting Thy riches which aye shall endure. 2. Those vessels soon fail, though full of Thy light, And at Thy decree, are broken and gone; Thence brightly appeareth Thy truth in its might, As through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone. 3. Like clouds they are borne to do Thy great will, And swift as the winds about the world go; The Word with His wisdom their spirits doth fill, They thunder, they lighten, the waters o’erflow. 4. Their sound goeth forth, Christ Jesus the Lord; Then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall; As when the dread trumpets went forth at Thy Word, And one long blast shattered the Canaanite’s wall. 5. O loud be their trump, and stirring their sound, To rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin; The lights Thou hast kindled in darkness around, O may they illumine our spirits within. 6. All honor and praise, dominion and might, To God, Three in One, eternally be; Who round us hath shed His own marvelous light, And called us from darkness His glory to see.
