Praise God the Lord, Ye Sons of Men

Author: N. Herman, 1480-1561; A. Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men, Before His highest throne; Today He opens heav'n again And gives us His own Son, And gives us His own Son. 2 He leaves His heav'nly Father's throne, Is born an infant small, And in a manger, poor and lone, Lies in a humble stall, Lies in a humble stall. 3 He veils in flesh His pow'r divine A servant's form to take; In want and lowliness must pine Who heav'n and earth did make, Who heav'n and earth did make. 4 He nestles at His mother's breast, Receives her tender care, Whom angels hail with joy most blest, King David's royal Heir, King David's royal Heir. 5 'Tis He who in these latter days From Judah's tribe should come, By whom the Father would upraise The Church, His Christendom, The Church, His Christendom. 6 A wondrous change which He does make! He takes our flesh and blood, And He conceals for sinners' sake His majesty of God, His majesty of God. 7 He serves that I a lord may be; A great exchange indeed! Could Jesus' love do more for me To help me in my need, To help me in my need? 8 For us He opens wide the door Of Paradise today; The angel guards the gate no more, To God our thanks we pay, To God our thanks we pay.

Oh Thou All Holy, Wise And Just

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh Thou all holy, wise and just, Whom Heav’n and earth obey; Thou only object of my trust, Whose word can sink me into dust, Or raise my feeble clay. 2 Yielding to what Thou shalt propose, Behold, Thy creature lies; Resigned to dwell along with those, who in the silent rave repose, Or to new health arise. 3 If now the last decisive day Of my frail life draw near, My soul while fainting with dismay, From rising crimes in dread array, Do Thou with mercy cheer. 4 Or if my past iniquity, My dying hour molest, Yet oh then save me when I die, Nor to my parting soul deny, An entrance into rest. 5 But if Thy boundless grace should spare My fleeting life again; Let sin no more my soul ensnare, But love and warm devotion there, In blissful union reign. 6 This for the honor of Thy name, And through the Savior’s blood, Not as desert, but grace I claim, And in the most submissive frame, Implore of Thee, my God.

Creator of the world art Thou, Its Savior and its King, Its Savior and its King. 2 How vast the mercy and the love Which laid our sins on Thee, And led Thee to a cruel death To set Thy people free, To set Thy people free! 3 But now the bands of death are burst, The ransom has been paid! And Thou art on Thy Father's throne, In glorious robes arrayed, In glorious robes arrayed. 4 O may Thy mighty love prevail Our sinful souls to spare! O may we come before thy throne And find acceptance there, And find acceptance there! 5 O Christ, be Thou our lasting joy, Our future great reward; Our only glory may it be To glory in the Lord, To glory in the Lord!

O Thou whose gracious presence blest The home at Bethany, This shelter from the world’s unrest, This home made ready for its Guest, We dedicate to Thee. 2. When Thou didst pass the temple gate, To pray beneath its dome, It was Thy Father’s house, more great Because by love made consecrate; It was Thine only home. 3. We build an altar here, and pray That Thou wilt show Thy face, Dear Lord, if Thou wilt come to stay, This home we consecrate today Will be a holy place. Used With Tune: REST (Maker)
