Songs of praise the Angels sang

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #148 (1883) Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the Angels sang, Heav'n with Alleluias rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When He spake and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose, when He Captive led captivity. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day: God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be dumb Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: VIENNA

Refrain: Yes, we'll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river; gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God. 2 On the margin of the river, washing up its silver spray, we will walk and worship ever, all the happy golden day. [Refrain] 3 Ere we reach the shining river, lay we ev'ry burden down; grace our spirits will deliver, and provide a robe and crown. [Refrain] 4 Soon we'll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease; soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 22:1 Languages: English Tune Title: HANSON PLACE

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #180 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Lesser Festivals Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home: 2 Under the shadow of your throne Your saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is your arm alone, And our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood Or earth received its frame, From everlasting you are God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Soon bears us all away; We fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the op'ning day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Still be our guard while troubles last And our eternal home!

We deck your altar, Lord, with light, In solemn worship meeting: And as the year's last hours go by, We raise to you our earnest cry, Once more your love entreating. 2 Before the cross subdued we bow, To you our prayer addressing, Recounting all your mercies now, And all our sins confessing, Beseeching you this coming year To keep us in your faith and fear, To crown us with your blessing. 3 We gather up in this brief hour The mem'ry of your mercies: Your wondrous goodness, love, and pow'r Our grateful song rehearses; For you have been our strength and stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses. 4 Then, gracious God, in years to come, We pray your hand may guide us, And, onward through our journey home, Your mercy walk beside us Until at last our ransomed life Is safe from peril, toil, and strife When heav'n itself shall hide us.

Name of wondrous love, Name all other names above, Unto which must ev'ry knee Bow in deep humility. 2 Jesus!

Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave, "Jesus shall his people save." 4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child When the cup of human woe First he tasted here below. 5 Jesus! Only name that's given Under all the mighty heaven Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Burst his fetters and is saved. 6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love, Human name of God above; Pleading your redemption true, We flee, helpless, Lord, to you. Languages: English Tune Title: GOTT SEI DANK
