We give immortal praise

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Together in Song #118 (1999) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We give immortal praise to God the Father's love for all our comforts here, and better hopes above: he sent his own eternal Son, to die for sins that we had done. 2 To God the Son belongs immortal glory too, who bought us with his blood from everlasting woe: and now he lives, and now he reigns, and sees the fruit of all his pains. 3 To God the Spirit's name immortal worship give, whose new-creating power makes the dead sinner live: his work completes the great design, and fills the soul with joy divine. 4 To you, almighty God, be endless honours done, the undivided Three, and the mysterious One: where reason fails with all her powers, there faith prevails, and love adores.

From heaven the Lord confess

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P148c (2004) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From heaven the Lord confess, in heights his glory raise. 2 Him let all angels bless, him all his armies praise. 3 Him glorify Sun, moon, and stars; 4 ye higher spheres, and cloudy sky. 5 Jehovah gave you birth, him therefore glorious make; to being ye came forth, when he the word but spake. 6 And from that place, where fixed you be by his decree; you cannot pass. 7 Praise him from earth below, ye dragons, and ye deeps: 8 fire, hail, clouds, wind, and snow, which in command he keeps. 9 Praise ye his name, hills great and small, trees low and tall, 10 beasts wild and tame. All things that creep or fly, 11 kings, tribes of every tongue, all princes mean or high, 12 both men and virgins young; even young and old, 13 exalt his name; for much his fame should be extolled. Jehovah's name be praised above both earth and sky; 14 for he his saints hath raised, and set their horn on high: even those that be of Israel's race, near to his grace; the Lord praise ye.

Thou art the Christ, O Lord

Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-97 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #172 (1986) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Thou art the Christ, O Lord, The Son of God, most high!' For ever be adored That name in earth and sky, In which, though mortal strength may fail, The saints of God at last prevail. 2 O surely he was blest With blessedness unpriced, Who, taught of God, confessed The Godhead in the Christ; For of thy Church, Lord, thou didst own Thy saint a true foundation-stone. 3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored, The bitter lesson learnt, That heart for thee, O Lord, With triple ardor burnt. The cross he took he laid not down Until he grasped the martyr's crown. 4 O bright triumphant faith, O courage void of fears, O love most strong in death, O penitential tears! By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall, And make us go where thou shalt call. Topics: St. Peter; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136TH
