Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Johann Jacob Schütz Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Compassion Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul is filled,
and every faithless murmur stilled:
to God all praise and glory!
2 What God’s almighty power has made
God's gracious mercy keepeth;
by morning glow or evening shade
God's watchful eye ne'er sleepeth.
Within the kingdom of God's might,
lo! all is just and all is right:
to God all praise and glory!
3 The Lord is never far away,
but, through all grief distressing,
an ever-present help and stay,
our peace and joy and blessing,
as with a mother's tender hand
God gently leads the chosen band:
to God all praise and glory!
4 Thus all my toilsome way along
I sing aloud thy praises,
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart;
both soul and body, take your part:
to God all praise and glory!

With a Word, You Birthed Creation
Author: Mary Louise Bringle, 1953- Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.6.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Compassion Lyrics: 1 With a word, you birthed creation,
giving shape to boundless space
casting light through velvet darkness
by the brilliance of your grace.
With a word, you formed all beings,
filling land, air, and sea;
human creatures, in your image,
by your sovereign, "Let there be."
2 With a word, you raised up prophets,
for a parched and yearning earth,
bringing hope to thirsty people
with the promise of new birth.
With a word you fired their visions
with the pow'r of your dreams;
"Let my justice roll like waters;
and my peace, like flowing streams."
3 With a Word, you came among us,
born in flesh and full of grace.
In the body of Christ Jesus,
you revealed your human face.
With his Word, you still inspire us
for the work that we do:
"Love and live for one another,
as I lived and died for you." Scripture: Genesis 1:1-3 Used With Tune: VERBUM
With a Word, You Birthed Creation

Go, worship at Immanuel's feet
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: God his vengeance and compassion; Vengeance and compassion Lyrics:
Go, worship at Immanuel's feet,
See in his face what wonders meet!
Earth is too narrow to express
His worth, his glory, or his grace.
[The whole creation can afford
But some faint shadows of my Lord;
Nature, to make his beauties known,
Must mingle colors not her own.]
[Is he compared to wine or bread?
Dear Lord, our souls would thus be fed
That flesh, that dying blood of thine,
Is bread of life, is heav'nly wine.]
[Is he a tree? The world receives
Salvation from his healing leaves;
That righteous branch, that fruitful bough,
Is David's root and offspring too.]
[Is he a rose? Not Sharon yields
Such fragrancy in all her fields:
Or if the lily he assume,
The valleys bless the rich perfume.]
[Is he a vine? His heav'nly root
Supplies the boughs with life and fruit
O let a lasting union join
My soul the branch to Christ the vine!]
[Is he the head? Each member lives,
And owns the vital powers he gives;
The saints below and saints above
Joined by his Spirit and his love.]
[Is he a fountain? There I bathe,
And heal the plague of sin and death
These waters all my soul renew,
And cleanse my spotted garments too.]
[Is he a fire? He'll purge my dross;
But the true gold sustains no loss:
Like a refiner shall he sit,
And tread the refuse with his feet.]
[Is he a rock? How firm he proves!
The Rock of ages never moves;
Yet the sweet streams that from him flow
Attend us all the desert through.]
[Is he a way? He leads to God,
The path is drawn in lines of blood;
There would I walk with hope and zeal,
Till I arrive at Zion's hill.]
[Is he a door? I'll enter in
Behold the pastures large and green,
A paradise divinely fair;
None but the sheep have freedom there.]
[Is he designed the corner-stone,
For men to build their heav'n upon?
I'll make him my foundation too,
Nor fear the plots of hell below.]
[Is he a temple? I adore
Th' indwelling majesty and power
And still to this most holy place,
Whene'er I pray, I turn my face.]
[Is he a star? He breaks the night
Piercing the shades with dawning light;
I know his glories from afar,
I know the bright, the morning star.]
[Is he a sun? His beams are grace,
His course is joy and righteousness;
Nations rejoice when he appears
To chase their clouds and dry their tears.
O let me climb those higher skies,
Where storms and darkness never rise!
There he displays his power abroad,
And shines and reigns th' incarnate God.]
Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars,
Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears;
His beauties we can never trace,
Till we behold him face to face.
Scripture: Psalm 68:20-22
Go, worship at Immanuel's feet
