Our God of Love, Who Reigns Above
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Our God of love, who reigns above,
Comes down to us below;
’Tis sweet to tell He loves so well,
And ’tis enough to know.
2. So deep, so high—like air and sky,
Beyond us, yet around;
He whom our mind can never find
Can in our heart be found.
3. Lord God, so far, past sun and star,
Yet close to all our ways!
In love so near, be pleased to hear
Thy little children’s praise.
4. O may that sign that we are Thine—
Our Father, Savior, friend—
Which sealed our brow, be on us now,
And with us to the end.
5. Through all our way, and every day
Believed, beloved, adored;
Be this our grace, to see Thy face
In Jesus Christ our Lord. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Church Monthly, July 1899
Our God of Love, Who Reigns Above
To God, Ye Choir Above, Begin
Author: Philip Skelton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To God, ye choir above, begin
A hymn so loud and strong,
That all the universe may hear
And join the grateful song.
2 Praise Him, thou sun, who dwells unseen
Amidst transcendent light,
Where thy refulgent orb would seem
A spot, as dark as night.
3 Thou silver moon, ye host of stars,
The universal song
Through the serene and silent night
To listening worlds prolong.
4 Sing Him, ye distant worlds and suns,
From whence no travelling ray
Hath yet to us, through ages past,
Had time to make its way.
5 Assist, ye raging storms, and bear
On rapid wings His praise,
From north to south, from east to west,
Through heaven, and earth, and seas.
6 Exert your voice, ye furious fires
That rend the watery cloud,
And thunder to this nether world
Your Maker’s words aloud.
7 Ye works of God, that dwell unknown
Beneath the rolling main;
Ye birds, that sing among the groves,
And sweep the azure plain;
8 Ye stately hills, that rear your heads,
And towering pierce the sky;
Ye clouds, that with an awful pace
Majestic roll on high;
9 Ye insects small, to which one leaf
Within its narrow sides
A vast extended world displays,
And spacious realms provides;
10 Ye race, still less than these, with which
The stagnant water teems,
To which one drop, however small,
A boundless ocean seems;
11 Whate’er ye are, where’er ye dwell,
Ye creatures great or small,
Adore the wisdom, praise the power,
That made and governs all.
12 And if ye want or sense or sounds,
To swell the grateful noise,
Prompt mankind with that sense, and they
Shall find for you a voice.
13 From all the boundless realms of space
Let loud hosannas sound;
Loud send, ye wondrous works of God,
The grateful concert round. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN
To God, Ye Choir Above, Begin
Children, To Your Creator God
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: Children, to your creator, God Lyrics: 1 Children, to your creator, God,
Your early honors pay,
While vanity and youthful blood
Would tempt your thoughts astray.
2 The memory of His mighty name,
Demands your first regard;
Nor dare indulge a meaner flame,
’Till you have loved the Lord.
3 Be wise, and make His favor sure,
Before the mournful days,
When youth and mirth are known no more,
And life and strength decays.
4 No more the blessings of a feast
Shall relish on the tongue.
The heavy ear forgets the taste
And pleasure of a song.
5 Old age with all her dismal train,
Invades your golden years
With sighs and groans, and raging pain,
And death that never spares.
6 What will you do when light departs,
And leaves your withering eyes,
Without one beam to cheer your hearts,
From the superior skies?
7 How will you meet God’s frowning brow,
Or stand before His seat,
While nature’s old supporters bow,
Nor bear their tottering weight?
8 Can you expect your feeble arms
Shall make a strong defense,
When death with terrible alarms,
Summons the prisoner hence?
9 The silver bands of nature burst;
And let the building fall;
The flesh goes down to mix with dust,
Its vile original.
10 Laden with guilt, (a heavy load)
Uncleansed and unforgiv’n,
The soul returns t’an angry God,
To be shut out from Heav’n. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN
Children, To Your Creator God
But One Loaf
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: When the disciples crossed the lake Lyrics: 1 When the disciples crossed the lake
With but one loaf on board;
How strangely did their hearts mistake
The caution of their Lord.
2 "The leaven of the Pharisees
Beware", the Savior said;
They thought, it is because He sees
We have forgotten bread.
3 It seems they have forgotten, too,
What their own eyes had viewed;
How with what scarce sufficed for few,
He fed a multitude.
4 If five small loaves, by His command,
Could many thousands serve;
Might they not trust His gracious hand,
That they should never starve?
5 They oft His power and love had known,
And doubtless were to blame;
But we have reason good to own
That we are just the same.
6 How often has He brought relief,
And every want supplied!
Yet soon, again, our unbelief,
Says, "Can the Lord provide?"
7 Be thankful for one loaf today,
Though that be all your store;
Tomorrow, if you trust and pray,
Shall timely bring you more. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

Behold Christ Rising From The Grave
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold Christ rising from the grave,
Behold Him raised on high:
He pleads His merits there to save
Transgressors doomed to die.
2 There, on a glorious throne, He reigns,
And by His power divine,
Redeems us from the slavish chains
Of Satan and of sin.
3 Thence shall the Lord to judgment come,
And with a sovereign voice,
Shall call, and break up every tomb,
While waking saints rejoice.
4 O may I then with joy appear
Before the Judge’s face!
And with the blest assembly there,
Sing His redeeming grace. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Sunday School Hymn Book (Philadelphia, American Sunday School Union, 1827)
Behold Christ Rising From The Grave
God Is Gone Up With Joyful Sound
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God is gone up with joyful sound
Of saints that sing on high;
His own right hand and holy arm
Have brought the victory nigh!
2 Now empty are the courts of Death
And crushed thy sting, Despair;
And roses bloom in desert tomb
For Jesus hath been there!
3 And He hath tamed the strength of Hell,
And dragged him through the sky,
Captive behind His chariot wheel,
That man no more may die. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Church Service of the Year (London: J. Murray, 1827)
God Is Gone Up With Joyful Sound
Remember
Author: Emma Lazarus, 1849-1887 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Remember Him, the only One Lyrics: 1 Remember Him, the only One,
Now, ere the years flow by—
Now, while the smile is on thy lip,
The light within thine eye.
2 Now, ere for thee the sun has lost
Its glory and its light,
And earth rejoice thee not with flowers,
Nor with its stars the night.
3 Now, while thou lovest earth, because
She is so wondrous fair
With daisies and with primroses,
And sunlit, waving air.
4 And not because her bosom holds
Thy dearest and thy best,
And some day will thyself infold
In calm and peaceful rest.
5 Now, while thou lovest violets,
Because mid grass they wave,
And not because they bloom upon
Some early shapen grave.
6 Now, while thou lovest trembling stars,
But just because they shine,
And not because they’re nearer one
Who never can be thine.
7 Now, while thou lovest music’s strains,
Because they cheer thy heart,
And not because from aching eyes
They make the tear drops start.
8 Now, while thou lovest all on earth,
And deemest all will last,
Before thy hope has vanished quite
And every joy has passed.
9 Remember Him, the only One,
Before the days draw nigh
When thou shalt have no joy in them,
And praying, yearn to die. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: A Library of Poetry for Sunday Reading by Philip Schaff and Arthur Gilman (New York: Dood, Mead, 1880)

Isles of the Deep, Rejoice!
Author: Edward Denny Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Isles of the deep, rejoice! rejoice Lyrics: 1. Isles of the deep, rejoice! rejoice!
Ye ransomed nations, sing
The praises of your Lord and God,
The triumphs of your King.
2. He comes, and at His mighty word,
The clouds are fleeting past,
And o’er the land of promise see,
The glory breaks at last.
3. There He, upon His ancient throne,
His power and grace displays,
While Salem with its echoing hills,
Send forth the voice of praise.
4. Oh, let His praises fill the earth
While all the blest above,
In strains of loftier triumph still,
Speak only of His love.
5. Sing, ye redeemed! Before the throne,
Ye white-robed myriads fall;
Sing—for the Lord of glory reigns,
The Christ—the heir of all. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Selection of Hymns 1839
