O Thank the LORD for All His Goodness
Give Thanks unto the Lord, Jehovah
Author: Anonymous Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Give thanks unto the Lord, Jehovah,
For He is good, O praise His name!
Let Israel say: The Lord be praisèd,
His mercy ever is the same.
Let Aaron’s house now praise Jehovah;
The Lord is good, O praise His name:
Let all that fear the Lord extol Him,
His mercy ever is the same.
2. In a large place the Lord hath set me;
In my distress He heard my cry.
I will not fear, the Lord is with me;
What can man do, when God is nigh?
The Lord is chief among my helpers;
And I shall see my foes o’erthrown:
Far better than in man or princes,
My trust I place in God alone.
3. I shall not die, but live, declaring
The works of God, who tried me sore,
And chastened me; but in His mercy
Not unto death has giv’n me o’er.
The gates of righteousness set open,
The gate of God! I’ll enter in
To praise Thee, Lord, who prayer hast answered,
And savèdst me from all my sin.
4. The stone—O Lord, it is Thy doing—
The stone the builders did despise,
Is made the headstone of the corner,
And it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day, of days most glorious,
The Lord has made; we’ll joy and sing.
Send now prosperity, we pray Thee;
And, O our God, salvation bring! Scripture: Psalm 118 Used With Tune: RENDEZ Á DIEU
Give Thanks unto the Lord, Jehovah
With new made Songs, let GOD be praised
Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 With new-made Songs, let GOD be praised,
Who wondrous Things for us hath done
With his Right Hand and Arm upraised,,
A glorious Conquest he has won.
The LORD, hat to the World, dismayed,
Declar'd his Strength and saving Might,
He hath his righteous Acts displayed,
Before th' astonish'd Heathens Sight.
2 The LORD, in Love and Truth excelling,
Of Israel's House hath mindful been;
And Nations in Earth's Corners dwelling,
The saving Pow'r of GOD have seen.
Let Earth's Inhabitants, combining,
To him their joyful Voices raise;
Let all in Songs of Triumph joining,
Loudly resound their Maker's Praise.
3 With many tuneful Harps surrounding,
Let them into the Concert bring,
Trumpets and Cornets, shrilly sounding,
And hymn glad Praises to their King:
Let the loud Ocean roar, transported,
With all that spacious Seas contain,
Be Earth's Inhabitants exhorted,
To join in Praise the noisy Main.
4 Let Streams, thro' fertile Meadows bounding,
In larger Torrents dance and play;
Let Hills and Vales their Joy resounding,
Far off redoubled Shouts convey:
To welcome down the King renowned,
Who does in awful Triumph come,
With never fading Glory crowned,
With Justice to reward or doom. Topics: Prophecies Of Jesus Christ, concerning his Coming and Government; Songs of Praise to God the coming of the Savior Scripture: Psalm 98 Used With Tune: [With new made songs, let God be praised]

Before the day draws near its ending

Before the day draws near its ending
From distant Times thou hast remained
Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 From distant Times thou hast remained,
O LORD, our sure abiding Place;
And by thy mighty Arm sustained,
From Age to Age, thy chosen Race.
Before the lofty Hills appeared,
Or e'er thy Pow'r the Earth did frame,
Thou wert as LORD supreme revered;
And thou art evermore the same.
2 Frail Man, at thy fierce Indignation,
Is turn'd to Dust, of which he's made;
And when thou wouldst renew his Station,
Thy Will is instantly obey'd.
A Thousand Years to thee not seeming,
Longer than as a fleeting Day,
Or Midnight Watch, to Men when dreaming,
Whose Hours in Silence waste away.
3 Thou sweep'st us off by thy great Power,
We vanish hence like airy Dreams;
At first we grow like some fair Flower
That feels the Sun's refreshing Beams:
But howsoever fresh and blooming,
Its Beauty in the Morning shows,
'Tis soon cut down, and Flames consuming,
Destroy it e'er the Ev'ning close.
4 We by thine Anger are distressed,
And at thy Wrath we are dismay'd;
Our Crimes, whene'er we have transgressed,
Are all before thy Presence laid.
Thy dreadful Indignation lasting,
Our drooping Days in Grief we spend;
Our Years in pining Sorrow wasting,
Break off like Tales that quickly end.
5 Our Term in Sev'nty Years is ended,
An Age which very few survive;
But if that Term should be extended,
And we at Eighty should arrive;
Yet then our boasted Vigour failing,
We waste away in Grief and Pain,
The Hand of Death is soon prevailing,
And we no longer may remain.
Part II
6 But who, O LORD, thy sore Displeasure
Does with a due Regard revere?
And yet thou dost thine Anger measure,
As more or less we learn to fear.
LORD! let us be by thee respected,
And teach us our short Date to mind;
That, by true Wisdom still directed,
Our Hearts may be to GOD inclin'd.
7 Turn thee, O GOD, to us distressed,
And to thy Servants gracious be;
Let us with Mercy soon be blessed,
And make us still rejoice in thee.
Since thou hast us with Sorrows vexed,
LORD, wipe away our former Tears;
And let us be no more perplexed,
But comfort us with happier Years.
8 Let this thy wond'rous Work displayed,
To all thy Servants, LORD< be shown;
And, down to distant Times conveyed,
O let thy glorious Pow'r be known!
Be thy bright Rays to us inclined,
And kindly give our Work Success;
The glorious Work we have designed,
Do thou, O LORD, vouchsafe to bless. Topics: Description of Misery and Vanity of human Life Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: [From distant Times thou hast remained]

This Is a Day of New Beginnings
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is a day of new beginnings,
Time to remember, and move on,
Time to believe what love is bringing,
Laying to rest the pain that's gone.
For by the life and death of Jesus,
Love's mighty Spirit, now as then,
Can make for us a world of diff'rence
As faith and hope are born again.
2 Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,
Step from the past, and leave behind
Our disappointment, guilt, and grieving,
Seeking new paths, and sure to find.
Christ is alive, and goes before us
To show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
Our God is making all things new. Topics: Easter; Easter VI A Used With Tune: RENDEZ A DIEU
