God, be merciful to me
Praise waits for thee in Zion, Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise waits for thee in Zion, Lord:
to thee vows paid shall be.
2 O thou that hearer art of prayer,
all flesh shall come to thee.
3 Iniquities, I must confess,
prevail against me do:
but as for our transgressions all,
them purge away shalt thou.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou dost choose,
and makest approach to thee,
that he within thy courts, O Lord,
may still a dweller be:
we surely shall be satisfied
with thy abundant grace,
And with the goodness of thy house,
even of thy holy place.
5 O God, of our salvation art,
thou, in thy righteousness,
by fearful works unto our prayers
thine answer dost express:
therefore the ends of all the earth,
and those upon the sea
who dwell afar, their confidence,
O Lord, will place in thee.
6 Who, being girt with power, sets fast
by his great strength the hills.
7 Who noise of seas, noise of their waves,
and people’s tumult, stills.
8 Those in the utmost parts that dwell
are at thy signs afraid:
the outgoings of the morn and eve
by thee are joyful made.
Scripture: Psalm 65:1-8 Used With Tune: ABRIDGE (ST STEPHEN)

Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 844 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free,
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 He comes with help most speedy
to those who suffer wrong;
to save the poor and needy,
and help the weak be strong;
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth;
love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in His path to birth:
before Him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go,
and righteousness in fountains,
from hill to valley flow.
4 Kings shall fall down before Him,
and gold and incense bring;
all nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing:
to Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
5 In all the world victorious,
He on His throne shall rest,
from age to age more glorious,
all-blessing and all-blessed;
the tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand for ever,
His changeless name of love. Topics: Christ Promised His First Advent Used With Tune: CRÜGER

3 Thanks give the Lord of lords unto:
for mercy hath he ever.
4 who only wonders great can do:
for his grace faileth never.
5 The heavens by wisdom fashioned he;
for mercy hath he ever:
6 and stretched the earth above the sea;
for his grace faileth never.
7 To him that made the great lights to shine;
for mercy hath he ever.
8 the sun to rule till day decline,
for his grace faileth never:
9 The moon and stars to rule by night;
for mercy hath he ever.
10 who Egypt’s first-born all did smite;
for his grace faileth never.
11 and Israel brought out from their land,
for mercy hath he ever:
12 with outstretched arm, and with strong hand;
for his grace faileth never.
13 By whom the Red Sea parted was:
for mercy hath he ever:
14 who through its midst made Israel pass;
for his grace faileth never:
15 but Pharaoh and his hosts he drowned;
for mercy hath he ever:
16 paths for his own in desert found;
for his grace faileth never.
17 To him great kings who overthrew:
for he hath mercy ever.
18 yea, famous kings in battle slew,
for his grace faileth never.
19 Sihon, king of Amorites,
for he hath mercy ever;
20 and Og, king of Bashanites:
for his grace faileth never.
21 Their land as heritage to have:
(for mercy hath he ever,)
22 his servant Israel right he gave:
for his grace faileth never.
23 In our low state who on us thought:
for he hath mercy ever;
24 and from our foes our freedom wrought;
for his grace faileth never.
25 Who giveth food to all that live;
for he hath mercy ever.
26 Thanks to the God of heaven give,
for his grace faileth never.
