Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above

Author: Johann J. Schütz; Frances E. Cox Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Appears in 200 hymnals Topics: God Beyond All Name and Form Praise to God Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above, the God of all creation, the God of power, the God of love, the God of our salvation. With healing balm my soul is filled and every faithless murmur stilled: to God all praise and glory! 2 Our God is never far away, but through all grief distressing, an ever present help and stay, our peace and joy and blessing. As with a mother's tender hand God gently leads the chosen band; to God all praise and glory! 3 Then all my gladsome way along I sing aloud your praises that all may hear the grateful song my voice unwearied raises. Be joyful in the Lord, my heart, both soul and body take your part; to God all praise and glory! 4 Let all who name Christ's holy name give God all praise and glory; let all who own God's power proclaim around the wondrous story! Cast each false idol from its throne, for Christ is Lord, and Christ alone; to God all praise and glory! Used With Tune: MIT FREUDEN ZART

When in Our Music God Is Glorified

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluia Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: God Beyond All Name and Form Praise to God Lyrics: When, in our music, God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried, "Alleluia!" How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound "Alleluia!" So has the church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to the truth in every tongue: "Alleluia!" And did not Jesus sing a Psalm that night when utmost evil strove against the Light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: "Alleluia!" Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: "Alleluia!" Used With Tune: ENGELBERG

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,245 hymnals Topics: God Beyond All Name and Form Praise to God Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of thy redeeming love. 2 Here I raise to thee an altar; hither by thy help I've come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, how I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!
