Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus, Teach me on thine arm to lean, Teach me on thine arm to lean. 3 O, for trust that brings the triumph When defeat seems strangely near; O, for faith that changes fighting Into vict'ry's ringing cheer!

O Sing Ye Hallelujah

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God First Line: O sing ye Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 O sing ye Hallelujah! ’Tis good our God to praise; ’Tis pleasant and becoming To Him our songs to raise; He builds the walls of Zion, He seeks her wandering sons, He binds their wounds and comforts the brokenhearted ones. 2 The starry hosts He numbers, He calls them all by name; His greatness and His wisdom His wondrous works proclaim; The meek He lifts to honor, He humbles sinful pride. Give thanks to Him and utter His praises far and wide. 3 The heavens with clouds He covers, He sends the cheering rain; The slopes of all the mountains He fills with grass and grain; To beast and bird His goodness their daily food supplies; He cares for all His creatures, Attentive to their cries. 4 No human power delights Him, No earthly pomp or pride; He loves the meek who fear Him and in His love confide; Then praise thy God, O Zion, His gracious aid confess; He gives thee peace and plenty, His gifts thy children bless. 5 He sends His swift commandment, And snow and ice enfold The world, and none are able To stand before His cold. Again He gives commandment; The winds of summer blow, The snow and ice are melted, Again the waters flow. 6 His statutes and His judgments He makes His people know; To them as to no others His grace He loves to show; For matchless grace and mercy Your grateful praises bring; To Him give thanks forever, And Hallelujah sing. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: HARTFORD

How shall we come before the Lord?

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: How shall we come before the Lord? And how approach to the Most High? Met in His house with one accord, At His commandment we draw nigh. 101 Not hecatombs he now requires, The daily blood of slaughterd beasts; Quench'd are the ancient altar fires, Extinct the line of typic priests. Man's only Mediator stands Before the Father's throne to plead His sole atonement: in his hands Our cause is safe; it must succeed. The broken heart in sacrifice, The contrite spirit let us bring, For Thou, O God! wilt not despise Thine own appointed offering.

Awake, our souls! away, our fears!

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears! Let every trembling thought be gone! Awake, and run the heavenly race! And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the strength of every saint. 3 O mighty God, Thy matchless power Is ever new, and ever young, And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run! 4 From Thee, the ever-flowing Spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply; While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as the eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire along the heavenly road.
