Attempt His Praise

Author: Thomas Blacklock Appears in 280 hymnals First Line: Come, O my soul, in sacred lays Lyrics: 1 Come, O my soul, in sacred lays, Attempt thy great Creator's praise; But O what tongue can speak his fame! What mortal verse declare his name! 2 Enthroned amid the radiant spheres, He glory like a garment wears; To form a robe of light divine, Ten thousand suns around him shine. 3 Raised on devotion's lofty wing, Do thou, my soul, his glories sing; And let his praise employ thy tongue Till list'ning worlds shall join the song.

Chorus: Beautiful flow'rs, beautiful flow'rs, Bright with morning dew; Beautiful flow'rs, beautiful flow'rs, We would be like you. 2 Not a frown of anger, Not a shade of care, Not one look of sadness Do the blossoms wear; They are always trusting, This is how they grow Beautiful and fragrant, In a world of woe. [Chorus] 3 Selfish tho'ts and wishes, Unkind words and deeds, Are like cruel brambles, Thistles, thorns, and weeds; Kind tho'ts are the sweetest, Loving words the best, Yielding hope and comfort, Joy, and peace, and rest. [Chorus] 4 Jesus has a garden, Fill'd with children sweet; We would be among them, Bowing at his feet, Drinking in life's waters, Growing by his grace, Like the flowers, looking Up into his face.

O Thou who art of all that is

Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou who art of all that is Beginning and the end, We follow thee thro' unknown paths, Since all to thee must tend; Thy judgments are a mighty deep, Beyond all fathom line; Our wisdom is the child-like heart; Our strength, to trust in thine. 2 We bless thee for the skies above, And for the earth beneath; For hopes that blossom here below, And wither not with death; But most ye bless thee for thyself, O heavenly Light within, Whose dayspring in our hearts, dispels The darkness of our sin.

Crown Him

Author: M. Bridges Appears in 802 hymnals First Line: Crown him with many crowns Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, The Lamb upon his throne; Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns All music but its own!

Behold his hands and side, Those wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified: No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his wond'ring eye At mysteries so great. 3 Crown him the Lord of peace! Whose hand a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, And all be pray'r and praise: His reign shall know no end, And round his pierced feet Fair flow'rs of paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime! All hail! Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; Thy praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity. Topics: Christ Praise to Christ; Christ Praise to Christ Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Again We Meet

Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas! unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners, to a Father's home. Amen. 4 O by that name in which all fullness dwells, O by that love which ev'ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest Mercy's gate, and take us in. Amen.

Spend And Be Spent

Go, labor on; 'tis not for naught; Thine earthly loss is heav'nly gain: Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not: The Master praises, what are men? 3. Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice; For toil comes rest; for exile, home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal: "Behold, I come!"
