When Morning Gilds the Skies
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 700 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:15 Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking cries,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer
to Jesus I repair,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
2 Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
3 The night becomes as day,
when from the heart we say,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear
when this sweet chant they hear,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, while life is mine,
my canticle divine,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song
through all the ages long,
may Jesus Christ be praised!

Crown Him with Many Crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 798 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:5-17 Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon his throne;
Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns
All music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who set us free,
And hail him as your matchless King
Through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those he came to save.
His glories now we sing
Who died and reigns on high;
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
3 Crown him the Lord of love,
Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.
4 Crown him the Lord of peace,
Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end;
And round his piercèd feet
Fair flow'rs of Paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
5 Crown him the Lord of years,
The risen Lord sublime,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
The master of all time.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For you have died for me;
Your praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 145 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:10-11 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, His glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him; the Lord is his Name!
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness;
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts, in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on His shrine.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the Name that is dear,
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

Psalm 72: Every Nation on Earth
Lord, let thy just Decrees the King
Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 Lord, let thy just Decrees the King
in all his Ways direct;
And let his Son, throughout his Reign,
thy righteous Laws respect.
2 So shall he still thy People judge
with pure and upright Mind,
Whilst all the helpless Poor shall him
their just Protector find.
3 Then Hills and Mountains shall bring forth
the happy Fruits of Peace;
Which all the Land shall own to be
the work of Righteousness:
4 Whilst he the poor and needy Race
shall rule with gentle Sway,
And from their humble Necks shall take
oppressive Yokes away.
5 In ev'ry Heart, thy awful Fear
shall then be rooted fast,
As long as Sun and Moon endure,
or Time itself shall last.
6 He shall descend like Rain, that chears
the Meadows second Birth;
Or like warm Show'rs, whose gentle Drops
refresh the thirsty Earth.
7 In his blest Days the Just and Good
shall be with Favour crown'd;
The happy Land shall ev'ry-where
with endless Peace abound.
8 His uncontroul'd Dominion shall
from Sea to Sea extend;
Begin at proud Euphrate's Streams,
at Nature's Limits end.
9 To him the savage Nations round
shall bow their servile Heads:
His vanquish'd Foes shall lick the Dust
where he his Conquest spreads.
10 The Kings of Tarshish, and the Isles,
shall costly Presents bring;
From spicy Sheba Gifts shall come,
and wealthy Saba's King.
11 To him shall ev'ry King on Earth
his humble Homage pay;
And diff'ring Nations gladly join
to own his righteous Sway.
12 For he shall set the Needy free,
when they for Succour cry;
Shall save the Helpless, and the Poor,
and all their Wants supply.
Part II
13 His Providence, for needy Souls,
shall due Supplies prepare;
And over their defenceless Lives
shall watch with tender Care.
14 He shall preserve and keep their souls
from Fraud and Rapine free;
And in his sight their guiltless Blood
of mighty Price shall be.
15 Therefore shall God his Life and Reign
to many Years extend;
Whilst Eastern Princes Tribute pay,
and golden Presents send.
For him shall constant Pray'rs be made
thro' all his prosp'rous Days:
His just Dominion shall afford
a lasting Theme of Praise.
16 Of useful Grain, through all the Land,
great Plenty shall appear:
A Handful sown on Mountain-tops
a mighty Crop shall bear:
Its Fruit, like Cedars shook by Winds,
a rattling Noise shall yield:
The City too shall thrive, and vie,
for Plenty, with the Field.
17 The Mem'ry of his glorious Name
thro' endless Years shall run;
His spotless Fame shall shine as bright
and lasting as the Sun.
In him the Nations of the World
shall be completely bless'd,
And his unbounded Happiness
by ev'ry Tongue confess'd.
18 Then bless'd be God, the mighty Lord,
the God whom Israel fears;
Who only wond'rous in his Works,
beyond Compare, appears.
19 Let Earth be with His Glory fill'd;
for ever bless His Name;
Whilst to His Praise the list'ning World
their glad Assent proclaim.
Lord, let thy just Decrees the King

on this terrestrial ball,

we at his feet may fall,
we at his feet may fall!
