Lord God, We All to Thee Give Praise

Author: Philipp Melanchthon; Paul Eber; Emanuel Cronenwett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, we all to Thee give praise, Thanksgivings meet to Thee we raise, That angel hosts Thou didst create Around Thy glorious throne to wait. 2 They shine with light and heav’nly grace And constantly behold Thy face; They heed Thy voice, they know it well, In godly wisdom they excel. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be With Thee, Lord Jesus, and to keep Thy little flock, Thy lambs and sheep. 4 The ancient Dragon is their foe; His envy and his wrath they know. It always is his aim and pride Thy Christian people to divide. 5 As he of old deceived the world And into sin and death was hurled, So now he subtly lies in wait To ruin school and Church and State. 6 A roaring lion, round he goes, No halt nor rest he ever knows; He seeks the Christians to devour And slay them by his dreadful power. 7 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on every hand To guard His people where they go And break the counsel of the Foe. 8 For this, now and in days to be, Our praise shall rise, O Lord, to Thee, Whom all the angel hosts adore With grateful songs forevermore. Amen. Topics: The Church Year St. Michael and All Angels Scripture: Hebrews 1:14 Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

Lord, It Belongs Not to My Care

Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 258 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To end his toilsome day. 3 Christ leads me thro' no darker rooms Than He went thro' before; He that into God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints And weary sinful days And join with the triumphant saints Who sing my Savior's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him. Amen. Topics: Cross and Comfort Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD

Lord, Lead the Way the Savior Went

Author: William Croswell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Savior went, By lane and cell obscure, And let love’s treasures still be spent, Like His, upon the poor. 2 Like Him, thro' scenes of deep distress, Who bore the world’s sad weight, We in their crowded loneliness, Would seek the desolate. 3 For Thou hast placed us side by side In this wide world of ill; And that Thy foll'wers may be tried, The poor are with us still. 4 Mean are all off'rings we can make; But Thou hast taught us, Lord, If given for the Savior’s sake, They lose not their reward.

Lord of Glory, Who hast Bought Us

Author: Eliza S. Alderson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals First Line: Lord of Glory, who hast bo't us Lyrics: 1 Lord of Glory, who hast bo't us With Thy life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice; And with that hast freely given Blessings countless as the sand To th'unthankful and the evil With Thine own unsparing hand; 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to yield Thee Gladly, freely, of Thine own; With the sunshine of Thy goodness Melt our thankless hearts of stone Till our cold and selfish natures, Warmed by Thee, at length believe That more happy and more blessed 'Tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor hast Thou given To our humblest charity In Thine own mysterious sentence, "Ye have done it unto Me." Can it be, O gracious Master, Thou dost deign for alms to sue, Saying by Thy poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you"? 4 Yes, the sorrow and the sufferings Which on every hand we see Channels are for gifts and offerings Due by solemn right to Thee; Right of which we may not rob Thee, Debt we may not choose but pay, Lest that face of love and pity Turn from us another day. 5 Lord of Glory, who hast bought us With Thy life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust Thee boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on Thee; But, oh! best of all Thy graces, Give us Thine own charity. Amen.
