Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 358 hymnals First Line: Great God! attend, while Zion sings Lyrics: 1 Great God! attend, while Zion sings The joy that from thy presence springs; To spend one day with thee on earth Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. 2 Might I enjoy the meanest place Within thy house, O God of grace! Nor tents of ease, nor thrones of power, Should tempt my feet to leave thy door. 3 God is our sun, he makes our day; God is our shield, he guards our way From all the assaults of hell and sin, From foes without and foes within. 4 All needful grace will God bestow, And crown that grace with glory, too; He gives us all things, and withholds No real good from upright souls. 5 O God, our King, whose sovereign sway The glorious hosts of heaven obey, Display thy grace, exert thy power, Till all on earth thy name adore!

"Return, my soul!"

Author: J. Stennett Appears in 449 hymnals First Line: Another six days' work is done Lyrics: 1 Another six days' work is done, Another Sabbath is begun; Return, my soul! enjoy thy rest, Improve the day thy God hath blessed. 2 Oh, that our thoughts and thanks may rise, As grateful incense to the skies; And draw from heaven that sweet repose, Which none, but he that feels it, knows. 3 This heavenly calm, within the breast, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains The end of cares, the end of pains. 4 In holy duties, let the day, In holy pleasures, pass away; How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

O Thou, Who Art Above All Height

Author: John Pierpont Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals First Line: O Thou, who art above all height! Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who art above all height! Our God, our Father, and our friend! Beneath Thy throne of love and light, Let Thine adoring children bend. 2 We kneel in praise, that here is set A vine that by Thy culture grew; W kneel in prayer, that Thou wouldst wet Its opening leaves with heavenly dew. 3 Since Thy young servant now hath given Himself, his powers, his hopes, his youth, To the great cause of truth and Heaven, Be Thou his guide, O God of truth! 4 Here may his doctrine drop like rain, His speech like Hermon’s dews distill, Till green fields smile, and golden grain, Ripe for the harvest, waits Thy will. 5 And when he sinks in death—by care, Or pain, or toil, or years oppressed— O God! remember then our prayer, And take his spirit to Thy rest.
