Eternal, sov'reign Lord on high
Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Public Thanksgiving for national Blessings The Blessing of Civil Government Lyrics: 1 Eternal, sov'reign Lord on high,
And Lord of all below!
We mortals to thy Majesty
Our first obedience owe.
2 Our souls adore thy pow'r supreme,
And bless thy providence,
For magistrates of meaner name,
Our glory and defence.
3 Kingdoms on firm foundations stand,
While virtue finds reward;
And sinners perish from the land,
By justice and the sword.
4 Where laws and liberties combine
To make a people blest,
There crowns with brightest lustre shine,
And kings are honour'd best.
5 Let Caesar's due be ever paid
To Caesar and his throne;
But consciences and souls were made
For thee, O God! alone.
Eternal, sov'reign Lord on high
Worthy the Lamb
Appears in 412 hymnals Topics: Public Religion First Line: Glory to God on high! Lyrics: 1 Glory to God on high!
Let earth and skies reply;
Praise ye his name;
His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
Sing aloud evermore,
Worthy the lamb.
2 Jesus, our Lord and God,
Bore sin's tremendous load,
Praise ye his name:
Tell what his arm hath done,
What spoils from death he won;
Sing his great name alone;
Worthy the lamb.
3 While they around the throne
Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name;
These who have felt his blood
Sealing their peace with God,
Sound his dear fame abroad,
Worthy the lamb.
4 Join, all ye ransom'd race
Our holy Lord to bless;
Praise ye his name:
In him we will rejoice,
And make a joyful noise,
Shouting with heart and voice,
Worthy the lamb.
5 What tho' we change our place,
Yet we shall never cease
Praising his name:
To him our songs we bring,
Hail him our gracious king,
And without ceasing sing,
Worthy the lamb.
6 Then let the hosts above,
In realms of endless love,
Praise his dear name:
To him ascribed be
Honor and majesty,
Thro' all eternity:
Worthy the lamb.
Worthy the Lamb
Great Ruler of the earth and skies
Appears in 93 hymnals Topics: Public Thanksgiving for national Blessings Thanksgiving for Peace Lyrics: 1 Great Ruler of the earth and skies!
A word of thy almighty breath
Can sink the world, or bid it rise;
Thy smile is life, thy frown is death.
2 When angry nations rush to arms,
And rage and noise, and tumult, reign,
And war resounds its dire alarms,
And slaughter spreads the hostile plain;
3 Thy sov'reign eye looks calmly down,
And marks their course, and bounds their pow'r;
Thy word the angry nations own,
And noise and war are heard no more.
4 Then peace returns with balmy wing,
(Sweet peace! with her what blessings fled!)
Glad plenty laughs, the vallies sing,
Reviving commerce lifts her head.
5 Thou good, and wise, and righteous Lord!
All move subservient to thy will;
And peace and war await thy word,
And thy sublime decrees fulfil.
6 To thee we pay our grateful songs,
Thy kind protection still implore:
O may our hearts, and lives, and tongues,
Confess thy goodness, and adore!
Great Ruler of the earth and skies
Now let our songs address the God of peace
Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Public Thanksgiving for national Blessings Thanksgiving for National Peace Lyrics: 1 Now let our songs address the God of peace,
Who bids the tumult of the battle cease!
The pointed spears to pruning crooks he bends,
And the broad faulchion in the ploughshare ends:
His powerful bands unites contending nations
In kind embrace, and friendly salutations.
2 While we beneath our vines and fig-trees sit,
Or thus within thy sacred temple meet,
Accept, great God! the tribute of our song,
And all the mercies of this day prolong:
Then spread thy peaceful word thro' ev'ry nation,
That all the earth may hail thy great salvation.
Now let our songs address the God of peace
O come, let us sing to the Lord a new song
Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Public Thanksgiving for national Blessings Thanks for National Protection Lyrics: 1 O come, let us sing to the Lord a new song,
And praise him to whom all our praises belong!
While we enter his temple with gladness and joy,
Let a psalm of thanksgiving our voices employ!
O come, to his name let us joyfully sing!
For the Lord is a great and omnipotent King;
By his word were the heavens and the host of them made,
And of the round world the foundations he laid.
2 He stilleth the waves of the boisterous sea,
And the tumults of men, more outrageous than they;
Thy goodness, O Lord! let the people confess,
Whom wars do not waste, nor proud tyrants oppress,
And devoutly contemplate thy wonderful ways,
Thou who turnest the fierceness of men to thy praise!
Then our lands in due season shall yield their increase,
And the Lord give his people the blessings of peace.
O come, let us sing to the Lord a new song
Holy Boldness
Author: Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Public Religion First Line: Sprinkled with reconciling blood Lyrics: 1 Sprinkled with reconciling blood,
I dare approach thy throne, O God;
Thy face no frowning aspect wears,
Thy hand no vengeful thunder bears!
2 Th' incircling rainbow, peaceful sign!
Doth with refulgent brightness shine;
And while my faith beholds it near,
I bid farewell to every fear.
3 Let me my grateful homage pay,
With courage sing, with fervor pray;
And tho' myself a wretch undone,
Hope for acceptance thro' thy son—
4 Thy son, who on the accursed tree,
Expir'd to set the vilest free;
On this I build my only claim,
And all I ask is in his name.
Holy Boldness
Exhortation to Prayer
Author: Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 528 hymnals Topics: Public Religion First Line: What various hindrances we meet Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet
In coming to a mercy-seat!
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer
But wishes to be often there?
2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw,
Prayer climes the ladder Jacob saw;
Gives exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above.
3 Restraining prayer we cease to fight;
Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright;
And Satan trembles, when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
4 While Moses stood with arms spread wide,
Success was found on Israel's side;
But when thro' weariness they fail'd,
That moment Amalek prevail'd.
5 Have you no words? ah, think again,
Words flow apace when you complain,
And fill a fellow-creature's ear
With the sad tale of all your care.
6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent,
To Heaven in supplication sent;
Your cheerful song would oft'ner be,
"Hear what the Lord has done for me."
Exhortation to Prayer
When Abra'm, full of sacred awe
Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: For a Public Fast Lyrics: 1 When Abra'm, full of sacred awe,
Before Jehovah stood,
And, with an humble fervent prayer,
For guilty Sodom sued;
2 With what success, what wondrous grace,
Was his petitions crown'd!
The LORD would spare, if in the place
Ten righteous men were found.
3 And could a single, holy Soul,
So rich a boon obtain?
Good God, and shall a nation cry,
And plead with thee in vain?
4 Are not the righteous dear to thee,
Now as in ancient times?
Or does this sinful land exceed,
Gomorrah in its crimes?
5 Still are we thine, we bear thy name,
Here yet is thine abode;
Long has thy presence bless'd our land,
Forsake us not, O GOD.

When Abra'm, full of sacred awe
Awake, ye saints, awake
Appears in 171 hymnals Topics: The Lord's Day and Public Worship Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, awake,
And hail this sacred day;
In loftiest songs of praise
Your joyful homage pay:
Welcome the day that God hath blest,
The type of heaven's eternal rest.
2 On this auspicious morn
The Lord of life arose;
He burst the bars of death,
And vanquished all our foes:
An now he pleads our cause above,
And reaps the fruits of all His love.
3 All hail, triumphant Lord!
Heaven with Hosannas rings,
And earth, in humbler strains,
Thy praise responsive sings:
Worthy the Lamb that once was slain,
Through endless years to live and reign.
4 Great King, gird on Thy sword,
Ascend Thy conquering car;
While justice, truth, and love
Maintain Thy glorious war:
This day let sinners own Thy sway,
And rebels cast their arms away.
Awake, ye saints, awake
Blest day of God, most calm, most bright
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: The Lord's Day and Public Worship Lyrics: 1 Blest day of God! most calm, most bright,
The first, the best of days;
The labourer's rest, the saint's delight,
The day of prayer and praise.
2 My Saviour's face made thee to shine,
His rising thee did raise,
And made thee heavenly and divine
Beyond all other days.
3 The first-fruits oft a blessing prove
To all the sheaves behind;
And they the day of Christ who love,
A happy week shall find.
4 This day I must with God appear;
For, Lord, the day is Thine;
Help me to spend it in Thy fear,
And thus to make it mine.
Blest day of God, most calm, most bright
