Praise to the living God
Author: Max Landsberg, 1845-1928; Newton Mann, 1836-1926; William Channing Gannett, 1840-1923 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Majesty of God Lyrics: 1 Praise to the living God,
all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
and still the same:
the one eternal God
before what now appears,
the First, the Last, beyond all thought
his timeless years!
2 Formless, all lovely forms
declare his loveliness;
holy, no holiness of earth
can his express.
Behold the Lord of all:
creation speaks his praise,
and everywhere above, below,
his will obeys.
3 God's Spirit freely flows,
high surging where it will:
in prophet's word he spoke of old,
is speaking still.
Established is God's law
and changeless it shall stand,
deep written on the human heart,
on sea, on land.
4 God has eternal life
implanted in the soul;
his love shall be our strength and stay
while ages roll.
Praise to the living God,
all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
and still the same! Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:11-14 Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Jewish Yigdal c. 13th cent.
Praise to the living God
Hallelujah! Raise, O raise
Author: Josiah Conder, 1789-1855 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: God Majesty of Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah! Raise, O raise
To our God the song of praise;
All his servants join to sing
God our Saviour and our King.
2 Blessed be for evermore
That dread Name which we adore:
Round the world his praise be sung
Through all lands, in ev'ry tongue.
3 O'er all nations God alone,
Higher than the heav'ns his throne;
Who is like to God most high,
Infinite in majesty!
4 Yet to view the heav'ns he bends;
Yea, to earth he condescends;
Passing by the rich and great,
For the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy show'r:
Set him with the high in pow'r.
6 He the broken spirit cheers:
Turns to joy the mourner's tears;
Such the wonders of his ways;
Praise his Name, for ever praise!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 113 Used With Tune: ALCESTER

where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, now from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 O shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair cry,
"Christ hath died in vain!"
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose ways is brotherhood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare,
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there! Used With Tune: MORNING SONG

God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flow'rs before you,
op'ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!

earth and heav'n reflect your rays,
stars and angels sing around you,
center of unbroken praise;
field and forest, vale and mountain,
flow'ry meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain
praising you eternally!

ever blessing, ever blessed,
well-spring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our brother,
let your light upon us shine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals join the mighty chorus,
which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o’er us,
joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music leads us sunward
in the triumph song of life. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:8-36 Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
