The God of Abraham praise

Author: Thomas Olivers Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 454 hymnals Lyrics: The God of Abraham praise, Who reigns enthroned above; Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love; Jehovah, great I AM, By earth and heaven confessed; I bow and bless the sacred Name, For ever blest. He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend, I shall, on angel-wings upborne, To heaven ascend: I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore, And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore. There dwells the Lord, our King, The Lord, our Righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace; On Sion's sacred height His kingdom he maintains, And, glorious with his saints in light, For ever reigns. The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high; Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! They ever cry: Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. Amen.

God, the merciful and good, Bought us with the Savior's blood, And, to make our safety sure, Guides us by his Spirit pure. Sing, my soul, adore his Name! Let his glory be thy theme: Praise him till he calls thee home; Trust his love for all to come.

Praise to the Holiest in the height

Author: John Henry Newman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Lyrics: Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all his words most wonderful, Most sure in all his ways! O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. O wisest love! that flesh and blood, Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against the foe, Should strive and should prevail: And that a higher gift than grace Should flesh and blood refine; God's Presence and his very Self, And Essence all-divine. O generous love! that he who smote In Man for man the foe, The double agony in Man For man should undergo; And in the garden secretly, And on the cross on high, Should teach his brethren, and inspire To suffer and to die. Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all his words most wonderful, Most sure in all his ways.

Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what he gives And praise him still, Through good or ill, Who ever lives! My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise.

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 708 hymnals Lyrics: Come, my soul, thy suit prepare; Jesus loves to answer prayer; He himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee, Nay. Thou art coming to a King: Large petitions with thee bring; For his grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much. With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 279 Lord, I come to thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign. While I am a pilgrim here, Let thy love my spirit cheer; As my guide, my guard, my friend, Lead me to my journey's end. Show me what I have to do; Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith; Let me die thy people's death. Holy Father, Holy Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One! Glory, as of old, to thee, Now, and evermore shall be. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Introits; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: BRASTED

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 966 hymnals Lyrics: Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and he destroy. His sovereign power without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. We are his people, we his care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honours shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy Name? We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heaven our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise him, all creatures here below! Praise him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen.

I dare not choose my lot; I would not, if I might; Choose thou for me, my God: So shall I walk aright. Take thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill, As best to thee may seem; Choose thou my good and ill. Choose thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose thou my cares for me My poverty or wealth. Not mine, not mine the choice, In things or great or small Be thou my Guide, my Strength, My Wisdom, and my All. Amen. Topics: Circumcision; Visitation Used With Tune: BLESSED HOME
