Sing hallelujah! Come, our great Redeemer praise. I will sing the glorious praises of my God through all my days. Put no confidence in princes, nor on human help depend. They shall die, to dust returning; all their thoughts and plans shall end. 2 Happy is the one who chooses Jacob's God to be his aid. They are blest whose hope of blessing on the LORD their God is stayed. Heaven and earth the LORD created, seas and all that they contain. He delivers from oppression; righteousness he will maintain. 3 Food he daily gives the hungry, sets the mourning prisoner free, raises those bowed down with anguish, makes the sightless eyes to see. God our Savior loves the righteous, and the stranger he befriends, helps the orphan and the widow, judgment on the wicked sends. 4 Praise the LORD! Sing hallelujah! Come, our great Redeemer praise. I will sing the glorious praises of my God through all my days. Over all God reigns forever; through all ages he is King. Unto him, your God, O Zion, joyful hallelujahs sing. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: RIPLEY Text Sources: Psalter, 1887, alt.

Mighty God! while angels bless thee

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 290 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Mighty God! while angels bless thee, May a mortal lisp thy name? Lord of men, as well as angels! Thou art every creature's theme: 2 Lord of every land and nation! Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation Be thy just and awful praise. 3 For the grandeur of thy nature Grand, beyond a seraph's thought; For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought; 4 For thy providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow, Blessed be thy gentle reign. 5 For thy rich, thy free redemption Bright, though vailed in darkness long Thought is poor, and poor, expression; Who can sing that wondrous song? 6 Christ the brightness of thy glory, By thy mercy came to die; How can mortal tongue be silent? How can praise unmuttered lie? 7 Leaving all his exaltation, Bearing all our sin and woe, O, what love divine was shown us! Flow, my praise, forever flow. Used With Tune: WELLESLEY

If thou but suffer God to guide thee, and hope in God through all thy ways, God will give 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. Only be still, and wait God's leisure in cheerful hope, with heart content to take whate'er thy Maker's pleasure and all-discerning love hath sent; we know our inmost wants are known, for we are called to be God's own. 3. Sing, pray, and keep God's ways unswerving; so do thine own part faithfully, and trust God's word; though undeserving, thou yet shalt find it true for thee. God never yet forsook at need the soul that trusted God indeed. Scripture: Psalm 55:22 Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

Rebels, Who Had Dared to Show

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Rebels, who had dared to show Proud contempt of God Most High, Bound in iron and in woe, Shades of death and darkness night, Humbled low with toil and pain, Fell, and looked for help in vain. 2 To Jehovah then they cried In their trouble and He saved, Threw the prison open wide Where they lay to death enslaved, Bade the gloomy shadows flee, Broke their bonds and set them free. 3 Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Iron bars He breaks like clay, And the brazen gates give way.

God is the name my soul adores

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 God is the name my soul adores, Almighty, high, Eternal One: Both heaven and earth, with all their powers, Proclaim the Infinite Unknown. 2 Thy voice ordained the rolling spheres, And bade the countless planets shine; But nothing like thyself appears Through all these spacious works of thine. 3 Still restless nature dies and grows, From change to change thy creatures run; Thy being no succession knows, And all thy vast designs are one. 4 A glance of thine runs through the globe, Rules the bright worlds, and moves their frame; Of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe; Thy ministers are living flame. 5 How shall polluted mortals dare To sing thy glory or thy grace? Beneath thy feet we lie afar, And see but shadows of thy face. 6 Who can behold the blazing light? Who can approach consuming flame? None but thy wisdom knows thy might; None but thy word can speak thy name. Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE
