Round the Lord in Glory Seated

Round the Lord in glory seated, Cherubim and seraphim Filled His temple, and repeated Each to each the alternate hymn: Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fullness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord! 2. Heav'n is still with glory ringing, Earth takes up the angels' cry, Holy, holy, holy, singing, Lord of Hosts, the Lord most high; With His seraph train before Him, With His holy Church below, Thus conspire we to adore him, Bid we thus our anthem flow. 3. Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fullness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord! Thus Thy glorious name confessing, We adopt thine angels' cry, Holy, holy, holy, blessing Thee, the Lord of Hosts most high. Used With Tune: EBENEZER Text Sources: Ancient Hymns, 1837

Let your light so shine around you that God's name is glorified; and all find fresh hope and purpose in Christ Jesus crucified. 3 Once you were an alien people, strangers to God's heart of love; but he brought you home in mercy, citizens of heav'n above. Let his love flow out to others, let them feel a Father's care; that they too may know his welcome and his countless blessings share. 4 Church of God, elect and holy, be the people he intends; strong in faith and swift to answer each command your master sends: royal priests, fulfill your calling through your sacrifice and prayer; give your lives in joyful service, sing his praise, his love declare.

We should never be discouraged– Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness– Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge– Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield thee– Thou wilt find a solace there.
