Tell his praise in song and story

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tell his praise in song and story, bless the Lord with heart and voice; in my God is all my glory — come before him and rejoice: join to praise his name together, he who hears his people's cry; tell his praise, come wind or weather, shining faces lifted high. 2 To the Lord whose love has found them cry the poor in their distress; swift his angels camped around them, prove him sure to save and bless. God it is who hears our crying though the spark of faith be dim; taste and see! beyond denying blessed are those who trust in him. 3 Taste and see! In faith draw near him, trust the Lord with all your powers; seek and serve him, love and fear him, life and all its joys are ours — true delight in holy living, peace and plenty, length of days; come, my children, with thanksgiving bless the Lord in songs of praise. 4 In our need he walks beside us, ears alert to every cry; watchful eyes to guard and guide us, love that whispers, 'It is I'. Good shall triumph, wrong be righted, God has pledged his promised word; so with ransomed saints united join to praise our living Lord!

Before the heaven and earth

Author: Brian Black (born 1926) Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before the heaven and earth were made by God's decree, the Son of God all-glorious dwelt in God's eternity. 2 Though in the form of God and rich beyond compare, he did not stay to grasp his prize; nor did he linger there. 3 From heights of heaven he came to this world full of sin, to meet with hunger, hatred, hell, our life, our love to win. 4 The Son became true Man and took a servant's role; with lowliness and selfless love he came, to make us whole. 5 Obedient to his death — that death upon a cross, no son had ever shown such love nor father known such loss. 6 To him enthroned on high, by angel hosts adored, all knees shall bow, and tongues confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
