O Give the LORD Wholehearted Praise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Year B, Ordinary Time after Pentecost, August 14-20 First Line: O give the LORD whole-hearted praise Lyrics: 1 O give the LORD wholehearted praise. To him thanksgiving I will bring; with all his people I will raise my voice and of his glory sing. 2 His saints delight to search and trace his mighty works and wondrous ways. Majestic glory, boundless grace, and righteousness his work displays. 3 God's wondrous deeds of faithfulness his people ever keep in mind. His works of love and graciousness reveal that God the LORD is kind. 4 God's promise shall forever stand; he cares for those who trust his word. Upon his saints his mighty hand the wealth of nations has conferred. 5 His works are true and just indeed; his precepts are forever sure. In truth and righteousness decreed, they shall forevermore endure. 6 By God's own hand redemption came; his covenant sure no change can know. Let all revere his holy name in heaven above and earth below. 7 In reverence and in godly fear we find the key to wisdom's ways; the wise his holy name revere. Through endless ages sound his praise!

Seddon (1915-1983) Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 14 The Family Lyrics: 1 Jesus the Lord of love and life, draw near to bless this man and wife; as they are now in love made one, let your good will for them be done. 2 Give them each day your peace and joy, let no dark clouds these gifts destroy; in growing trust may love endure, to keep their marriage bond secure. 3 As they have vowed to have and hold, each by the other be consoled; in wealth or want, in health or pain, till death shall part, let love remain. 4 Deepen, O Lord, their love for you, and in that love, their own renew; each in the other find delight, as lives and interests now unite. 5 Be to them both a guide and friend, through all the years their home defend; Jesus the Lord of love and life, stay near and bless this man and wife.

Happy are they, they who love God

Author: C. Coffin (1676-1749); R. Bridges (1844-1930) Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 14 The Family Lyrics: 1 Happy are they, they that love God, whose hearts have Christ confessed; who by his cross have found their life, beneath his yoke, their rest. 2 Glad is the praise, sweet are the songs, when they together sing; and strong the prayers that bow the ear of heaven’s eternal king. 3 Christ gives their homes pleasure and peace and makes their loves his own; but O what weeds the evil one has in God's garden sown! 4 Sad were our lot, evil this earth did not its sorrows prove the path by which the sheep may find the fold of Jesus’ love. 5 Then shall they know, they that love him, how good shall come from pain; and death itself cannot unbind their happiness again.
