With cheerful voice I sing
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Glory of God in our salvation Lyrics:
With cheerful voice I sing
The titles of my Lord,
And borrow all the names
Of honor from his word:
Nature and art can ne'er supply
Sufficient forms of majesty.
In Jesus we behold
His Father's glorious face,
Shining for ever bright,
With mild and lovely rays
Th' eternal God's eternal Son
Inherits and partakes the throne.]
The sovereign King of kings,
The Lord of lords most high,
Writes his own name upon
His garment and his thigh:
His name is called The Word of God;
He rules the earth with iron rod.
Where promises and grace
Can neither melt nor move,
The angry Lamb resents
The injuries of his love;
Awakes his wrath without delay,
As lions roar, and tear the prey.
But when for works of peace
The great Redeemer comes,
What gentle characters,
What titles he assumes!
Light of the world, and Life of men;
Nor will he bear those names in vain.
Immense compassion reigns
In our Immanuel's heart,
When he descends to act
A Mediator's part:
He is a Friend and Brother too;
Divinely kind, divinely true.
At length the Lord the Judge
His awful throne ascends,
And drives the rebels far
From favorites and friends:
Then shall the saints completely prove
The heights and depths of all his love.
Scripture: Psalm 69:32

And cast a wishful eye;
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Refrain:
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
2 All o'er those wide- extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away. [Refrain]
3 No chilling winds or pois'nous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more. [Refrain]
4 When I shall reach that happy place
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in God's bosom rest? [Refrain] Scripture: Joshua 1:2 Used With Tune: STORMY BANKS

'Twas by an order from the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: Glory of God in our salvation Lyrics:
'Twas by an order from the Lord
The ancient prophets spoke his word;
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warmed their hearts with heav'nly fire.
The works and wonders which they wrought
Confirmed the messages they brought;
The prophet's pen succeeds his breath,
To save the holy words from death.
Great God, mine eyes with pleasure look
On the dear volume of thy book;
There my Redeemer's face I see,
And read his name who died for me.
Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost, and vanish in the wind;
Here I can fix my hope secure;
This is thy word, and must endure.
Scripture: Psalm 69:7-24
'Twas by an order from the Lord
If Thou but Trust in God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee
and hope in Him through all thy ways,
He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee,
and bear thee through the evil days;
who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the Rock that naught can move.
2 What can these anxious cares avail thee,
these never ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help if thou bewail thee
o'er each dark moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
the heavier for our bitterness.
3 Only be still, and wait His leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
and all discerning love have sent;
nor doubt our inmost wants are known
to Him who chose us for His own.
4 All are alike before the Highest;
'tis easy to our God, we know,
to raise thee up though low thou livest,
to make the rich man poor and low;
true wonders still by Him are wrought
who setteth up and bright to naught.
5 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving;
in all thy labor faithful be,
and trust His Word; though undeserving,
thou yet shalt find it true for thee.
God never will forsake in need
the soul that trusts in Him indeed. Used With Tune: NEUMARK
