Let all creation bless the Lord

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let all creation bless the Lord, till heaven with praise is ringing. Sun, moon and stars, peal out a chord, stir up the angels’ singing. Sing, wind and rain! Sing, snow and sleet! Make music, day, night, cold and heat: exalt the God who made you. 2 All living things upon the earth, green fertile hills and mountains, sing to the God who gave you birth; be joyful, springs and fountains. Lithe water-life, bright airborne birds, wild roving beasts, tame flocks and herds: exalt the God who made you. 3 O men and women everywhere, lift up a hymn of glory; all you who know God’s steadfast care, tell out salvation’s story. No tongue be silent; sing your part, you humble souls and meek of heart: exalt the God who made you.

Thy Scepter, Jesus, Shall Extend

Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy scepter, Jesus, shall extend As far as day prevaileth; Thy glorious kingdom, without end, Shall stand when all else faileth, Thy blessed Name shall be confessed, And round Thy cross forever blest, Shall kings and people gather. 2 The child that's born to Thee we take, to thee in death we hasten; In joy we often Thee forsake, But not when sorrows chasten. Where truth and virtue are oppressed, Where sorrow dwells, pain and unrest, Thy help alone availeth. 3 Come, Jesus, then, in weal and woe, In life and death be near us; Thy grace upon our hearts bestow, And let Thy Spirit cheer us. For every conflict strength afford, And gather us in peace, O Lord, When all the world Thou judgest. Topics: The Church Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH AN DER ZEIT

If Thy Belovèd Son, O God

Author: Johann Heerman; Unknown Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. If Thy belovèd Son, O God, Had not to earth descended, And in our mortal flesh and blood Had not sin’s power ended, Then this poor, wretched soul of mine In hell eternally would pine Because of its transgression. 2. But now I find sweet peace and rest, Despair no more reigns o’er me; No more am I by sin oppressed, For Christ has borne sin for me. Upon the cross for me He died That, reconciled, I might abide With Thee, my God, forever. 3. I trust in Him with all my heart; Now all my sorrow ceases; His words abiding peace impart, His blood from guilt releases. Free grace through Him I now obtain; He washes me from every stain, And pure I stand before Him. 4. All righteousness by works is vain, The Law brings condemnation; True righteousness by faith I gain, Christ’s work is my salvation. His death, that perfect sacrifice, Has paid the all-sufficient price; In Him my hope is anchored. 5. My guilt, O Father, Thou hast laid On Christ, Thy Son, my Savior. Lord Jesus, Thou my debt hast paid And gained for me God’s favor. O Holy Ghost, Thou Fount of grace, The good in me to Thee I trace; In faith do Thou preserve me. Used With Tune: NUN FREUT EUCH
