And are we now brought near to God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And are we now brought near to God, Who once at distance stood? And, to effect this glorious change, Did Jesus shed His blood? 2 O for a song of ardent praise, To bear our souls above! What should allay our lively hope, Or damp our flaming love? 3 Then let us join the heavenly choirs, To praise our heavenly King: O may that love which spread this boar, Inspire us while we sing: 4 "Glory to god in highest strains, And to the earth be peace; Good-will from heaven to men is come, And let it never cease."

Angel bands, in strains sweet sounding

Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Angel bands, in strains sweet sounding, Anthems to the Saviour raise: Host of heaven, His throne surrounding, Hymn the great Creator's praise. 2 Radiant orb of day, adore him, Praise Him, thou who rul'st the night; Heaven of heavens, O bow before Him, Laud Him, all ye worlds of light. 3 Praise Him, wild and restless ocean Praise Him, monsters of the deep; Praise Him in your rude commotion, Storms that at His mandate sweep. 4 Hills and mountains, heavenward towering, Fires that in their bosom glow; Clouds around their cliffs dark lowering, Torrents down their steeps that flow; 5 Verdant fields and valleys blooming, Insect myriads own His care; Wild beasts through the forest roaming, Warbling tenants of the air. 6 Kings and rulers, shout His glory, People, join the laud acclaim, maidens, youth, and fathers hoary, Infants, lisp His holy Name. 7 Every kindred, tongue, and nation, Him Who gave you life adore; Earth and heaven, and all creation, Praise His Name for evermore.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 612 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before His feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burden'd souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bow'd down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely press'd, By wars without, and fears within, I come to Thee for rest. 4 Be Thou my Shield and Hiding-place, That, shelter'd near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him, Thou hast died. 5 O wondrous love, to bleed and die, To bear the Cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead Thy gracious Name.

That Power Divine Is throned in light's unbounded blaze; And countless worlds and angels join To swell the glorious song of praise. 4 And will He deign to lend an ear, When I, poor sinful mortal, pray? Yes, boundless goodness! He will hear, Nor cast the meanest wretch away. 5 Then let me serve Thee all my days, And may my zeal with years increase; For pleasant, Lord, are all Thy ways, And all Thy paths are paths of peace.
