I love the Lord, because my voice

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Approach to God The House of God Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord, because my voice And prayers he did hear. I, while I live, will call on him, Who bowed to me his ear. 2 The cords of death on every side Encompassed me around; The sorrows of the grave he seized, I grief and trouble found. 3 Upon the Name of God the Lord Then did I call, and say, Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray. 4 God merciful and righteous is, Yea, gracious is our Lord. God saves the meek: I was brought low, He did me help afford. 5 O thou my soul, do thou return Unto thy quiet rest; For largely, lo, the Lord to thee His bounty hath expressed. 6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, and is, And shall be evermore. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 116:1-7 Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN

Awake, ye saints; to praise your King

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: Church the house and care of God Lyrics: Awake, ye saints; to praise your King, Your sweetest passions raise, Your pious pleasure, while you sing, Increasing with the praise. Great is the Lord, and works unknown Are his divine employ; But still his saints are near his throne, His treasure and his joy. Heav'n, earth, and sea confess his hand; He bids the vapors rise; Lightning and storm at his command Sweep through the sounding skies. All power that gods or kings have claimed Is found with him alone But heathen gods should ne'er be named Where our Jehovah's known. Which of the stocks or stones they trust Can give them showers of rain? In vain they worship glitt'ring dust, And pray to gold in vain. [Their gods have tongues that cannot talk, Such as their makers gave; Their feet were ne'er designed to walk, Nor hands have power to save. Blind are their eyes, their ears are deaf, Nor hear when mortals pray; Mortals that wait for their relief Are blind and deaf as they.] O Britain, know thy living God, Serve him with faith and fear; He makes thy churches his abode, And claims thine honors there. Scripture: Psalm 135

Scripture: Psalm 135:5-12
