Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise

Hymnal: PHBD1788 #CLI (1788) Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise Your hearts and voices in his praise: His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight. 2 He form'd the stars, those heav'nly flames; He counts their numbers, calls their names; His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound, A deep, where all our thoughts are drown'd! 3 Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds around the sky; There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. 4 He makes the grass the hills adorn, And clothes the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with food his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry. 5 What is the creature's skill or force, The sprightly man, or warlike horse? The piercing wit, the active limb, All are too mean delights for him. 6 But saints are lovely in his sight, He views his children with delight! He sees their hope, he knows their fear; And looks, and loves his image there. Topics: Praise Languages: English

How do thy mercies close me round

Hymnal: PHBD1788 #CLII (1788) Lyrics: 1 How do thy mercies close me round; For ever be thy name ador'd! I blush in all things to abound: The servant is above his Lord! 2 Inur'd to poverty and pain, A suff'ring life my master led; The Son of God, the Son of Man, He had not where to lay his head. 3 But lo! a place he hath prepar'd For me, whom watchful angels keep; Yea, he himself becomes my guard; He smooths my bed, and gives me sleep. 4 Jesus protects; my fears begone: What can the Rock of Ages move? Safe in thy arms I lay me down, Thy everlasting arms of love. 5 While thou art intimately nigh, Who, who shall violate my rest? Sin, earth, and hell, I now defy; I lean upon my Saviour's breast. 6 I rest beneath th' Almighty's shade, My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is staid, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace. 7 Me for thine own thou lov'st to take, In time and in eternity: Thou never, never wilt forsake A helpless worm that trusts in thee.

O God of all grace

Hymnal: PHBD1788 #CLIII (1788) Lyrics: 1 O God of all grace, Thy goodness we praise, Thy Son thou hast given to die in our place: With joy we approve The design of thy love, 'Tis a wonder on eaoth, and a wonder above. 2 Tongue cannot explain The love of God-Man, Which the angels desire to look into in vain: It dazzles our eyes, Thought cannot arise, To find out a cause why the Infinite dies. 3 Or if pity inclin'd Him to die for mankind, The ground of his pity what seraph can find! He came from above Our curse to remove, He hath lov'd, he hath lov'd us, because he would love. 4 Love mov'd him to die, And on this we rely, He hath lov'd, he hath lov'd us, we cannot tell why: But this we can tell, He hath lov'd us so well As to lay down his life to redeem us from hell. 5 He hath ransom'd our race, O how shall we praise, Or worthily sing thy unspeakable grace? Nothing else will we know In our journey below, But singing thy grace, to thy Paradise go. 6 Nay, and when we remove, To the mansions above, Our heaven shall still be to sing of thy love; When time is no more, We still shall adore The ocean of love, without bottom or shore. 7 Ere long we shall fly To the regions on high, For Israel's strength cannot vary or lie: He soon shall appear, He more than draws near, Our Jesus is come, and eternity's here.

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Hymnal: PHBD1788 #CLIV (1788) Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sov'reign pow'r, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men! And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We'll croud thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heav'ns our voices raise; And earth with her ten thousand tongues Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 4 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.

The Lord of Sabbath let us praise

Hymnal: PHBD1788 #CLV (1788) Lyrics: 1 The Lord of Sabbath let us praise, In concert with the blest, Who, joyful in harmonious lays, Employ an endless rest. 2 Thus, Lord, while we remember thee, We blest and pious grow, By hymns of praise we learn to be Triumphant here below. 3 On this glad day a brighter scene Of glory was display'd By God th' eternal Word, than when This universe was made. 4. He rises, who mankind has bought With grief and pain extreme; ’Twas great to speak the world from nought, ’Twas greater to redeem! Topics: Praise Languages: English

Come, let us join our cheerful songs

Hymnal: PHBD1788 #CLVIII (1788) Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs With angels round the throne, Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, But all their joys are one. 2 Worthy the Lamb that dy'd, they cry, To be exalted thus; Worthy the Lamb, our hearts reply, For he was slain for us. 3 Jesus is worthy to receive Honour and pow'r divine; And blessings more than we can give, Be, Lord, for ever thine. 4 The whole creation join in one, To bless the sacred name Of him that sits upon the throne, And to adore the Lamb.

Praise ye the Lord, y' immortal choirs

Hymnal: PHBD1788 #CLX (1788) Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, y' immortal choirs, That fill the realms above; Praise him who form'd you of his fires, And feeds you with his love. 2 Shine to his praise, ye crystal skies, The floor of his abode; Or veil in shades your thousand eyes, Before your brighter God. 3 Thou restless globe of golden light, Whose beams create our days, Join with the silver queen of night, To own your borrow'd rays. 4 Winds, ye shall bear his name aloud Through the ethereal blue, For when his chariot is a cloud, He makes his wheels of you. 5 Thunder and hail, and fires and storms, The troops of his command, Appear in all your dreadful forms, And speak his awful hand. 6 Shout to the Lord, ye surging seas, In your eternal roar; Let wave to wave resound his praise, And shore reply to shore. 7 While monsters, sporting on the flood, In scaly silver shine, Speak terribly, their maker, God, And lash the foaming brine. 8 But gentler things shall tune his name To softer notes than these, Young zephyrs breathing o'er the stream, Or whisp'ring thro' the trees. 9 Wave your tall heads, ye lofty pines, To him that bids you grow; Sweet clusters bend the fruitful vines On ev'ry thankful bough. 10 Let the shrill birds his honours raise, And climb the morning sky; While grov'ling beasts attempt his praise In hoarser harmony. 11 Thus while the meaner creatures sing, Ye mortals, take the sound, Echo the glories of your King Thro' all the nations round.
