My God, I Will Extol Thee

Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Glory And Majesty Of God Lyrics: 1 My God, I will extol Thee And ever bless Thy Name; Each day will I give thanks to Thee And all Thy praise proclaim. Great is the Lord and mighty, And highly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable, Above our knowledge raised. 2 To every generation Thy glory shall be told, Thy honor and Thy majesty In memory I will hold. Thy mighty power and greatness Shall all mankind confess, And tell the story of Thy love, And sing Thy righteousness. 3 The Lord is very gracious And most compassionate; His anger is most slow to rise, His mercy is most great. On all His helpless creatures His tender mercies rest; By all His works He shall be praised, By all His saints be blest. 4 The glory of His kingdom Proclaimed abroad shall be, That all may know His mighty deeds And glorious majesty. His kingdom is eternal, His throne shall stand secure, And His dominion without end Through ages shall endure. Scripture: Psalm 145 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

Patterson Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice; Bible; Biblical Characters Isaiah; Christian Year Advent; Commitment; Ecology; God Kingdom, Majesty, Realm; Joy; Justice; Kingdom of God; Nation; Peace (World); Prophets; Water; Word of God; Advent 2 Year A; Epiphany 8 Year C Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old how God's new creation shall come, instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow; the wolf shall lie down with the lamb. The mountains and hills shall break forth into song, the peoples be led forth in peace, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world, and conflict turns parent from child. Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth; the brier and the thorn tree grow wild. God, bring to fruition your will for the earth, that no one shall hurt or destroy, when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land and your people shall go forth in joy. Used With Tune: SAMANTHRA

Psalm 89 Last Part

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Power and majesty of God First Line: Think, mighty God, on feeble man Lyrics: Think, mighty God, on feeble man; How few his hours! how short his span! Short from the cradle to the grave Who can secure his vital breath Against the bold demands of death, With skill to fly, or power to save? Lord, shall it be for ever said, "The race of man was only made For sickness, sorrow, and the dust?" Are not thy servants day by day Sent to their graves, and turned to clay? Lord, where's thy kindness to the just? Hast thou not promised to thy Son And all his seed a heav'nly crown? But flesh and sense indulge despair: For ever blessed be the Lord, That faith can read his holy word, And find a resurrection there. For ever blessed be the Lord, Who gives his saints a long reward For all their toil, reproach, and pain: Let all below and all above Join to proclaim thy wondrous love, And each repeat their loud Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52

"There's none of all my sons above So much my image or my love; Celestial powers thy subjects are: Then what can earth to thee compare? "David, my servant, whom I chose To guard my flock, to crush my foes, And raised him to the Jewish throne, Was but a shadow of my Son." Now let the church rejoice and sing Jesus, her Savior and her King; Angels his heav'nly wonders show, And saints declare his works below. Scripture: Psalm 89

How terrible thy glories be! How bright thine armies shine! Where is the power that vies with thee, Or truth compared to thine? The northern pole and southern rest On thy supporting hand; Darkness and day, from east to west, Move round at thy command. Thy words the raging winds control, And rule the boist'rous deep; Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll, The rolling billows sleep. Heav'n, earth, and air, and sea, are thine, And the dark world of hell; How did thine arm in vengeance shine When Egypt durst rebel! Justice and judgment are thy throne, Yet wondrous is thy grace; While truth and mercy, joined in one, Invite us near thy face. Scripture: Psalm 89:7-52
