The Promise of Victory

Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Children Piety in First Line: O praise ye the Lord Lyrics: 1 O praise ye the Lord, And sing a new song, Amid all the saints His praises prolong; The praise of their Maker His people shall sing, All children of Zion Rejoice in their King. 2 With timbrel and harp And joyful acclaim, With gladness and mirth, Sing praise to His Name; For God in His people His pleasure doth seek, With robes of salvation He clotheth the meek. 3 In glory exult, Ye saints of the Lord; With song in the night High praises accord; Go forth in God's service And strong in His might To conquer all evil And stand for the right. 4 For this is His word: His saints shall not fail, But over the earth Their pow'r shall prevail; All kingdoms and nations Shall yield to their sway. To God give the glory And praise Him for aye. Scripture: Psalm 149 Used With Tune: HOUGHTON

God of the morning, at whose voice

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Instruction in piety; Piety instructions therein Lyrics: God of the morning! at whose voice The cheerful sun makes haste to rise, And like a giant doth rejoice To run his journey through the skies. From the fair chambers of the east The circuit of his race begins, And, without weariness or rest, Round the whole earth he flies and shines. O like the sun may I fulfil Th' appointed duties of the day, With ready mind and active will March on and keep my heav'nly way. [But I shall rove and lose the race, If God, my sun, should disappear, And leave me in this world's wild maze, To follow every wand'ring star. Lord, thy commands are clean and pure, Enlight'ning our beclouded eyes; Thy threat'nings just, thy promise sure, Thy gospel makes the simple wise.] Give me thy counsel for my guide, And then receive me to thy bliss; All my desires and hopes beside Are faint and cold compared with this. Scripture: Psalm 19:5

Though sorrow clouds our way, ’Twill only make the joy more dear That ushers in the day. 4 Belovéd, "It is well!" The path that Jesus trod, Though rough and strait and dark it be, Leads home to heaven and God.

Christ our Advocate is made; Us to save, our flesh assumes-- Brother to our souls becomes. 4 Shout, ye little flock, and blest; You on Jesus' throne shall rest:-- There your seat is now prepared; There your kingdom and reward. 5 Lord, submissive make us go, Gladly leaving all below; Only Thou our leader be, And we still will follow Thee.

With humble heart and tongue

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 162 hymnals Topics: Early Piety Lyrics: 1 With humble heart and tongue, Our God, to Thee I pray, Oh, make me learn whilst we are young, How we may cleanse our way. 2 Make us, unguarded youth, The objects of Thy care, Help us to choose the way of truth, And fly from every snare. 3 Our hearts, to folly prone, Renew by power divine, Unite them to Thyself alone, And make us wholly Thine. 4 Oh, let thy word of grace Our warmest thoughts employ, Be this through all our foll'wing days, Our treasure and our joy. 5 To what Thy laws impart, Be our whole soul inclined; Oh, let them dwell within our heart, And sanctify our mind. 6 May Thy young servants learn By these to cleanse their way; And may we hear the path discern That leads to endless day.
