Come with all joy to sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 2 The People of God Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty king, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean-floor to mountain-crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to him who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, he alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear God's voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest. 7 So to the God of earth and heaven, the Father, Spirit, Son, be given praise now, as praise has ever been and ever shall be praise — Amen! Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: FULDA Text Sources: Venite

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer nought to hide thee, Nought I ask beside thee. 2 In thine arm I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their bitter storms assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all fears and sadness, For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Still in thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!
