O God, Be Thy Anointed Son

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Offerings Lyrics: 1 O God, be Thy Anointed Son With truth and righteousness endowed, That justice may on earth be done, The meek protected from the proud. 2 Then over mountain side and plain Shall peace spring forth from righteousness; The poor man's cause will He maintain, And save the weak, that none oppress. 3 Then shall Thy fear on earth be known Long as the sun and moon shall shine; While endless generations run, Kingdom and glory shall be Thine. 4 Like copious rain in time of dearth, So shall His gracious coming be; As gentle showers that cheer the earth, So He shall bring prosperity. 5 The just shall flourish in His day, And evermore shall peace extend; From sea to sea shall be His sway, And to the earth's remotest end. 6 The desert lands to Him shall bow, And all the islands of the sea, And kings with gifts shall pay their vow, His enemies shall bend the knee. 7 In great compassion for the weak He ever will maintain their right, Will help the poor and save the meek; Their lives are precious in His sight.

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-75 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Worship The Offering Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name. 2 Low at his feet lay your burden of carefulness, high on his heart he will bear it for you, comfort your sorrows, and answer your prayerfulness, guiding your steps in the way best for you. 3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth you would reckon to own: truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to bring to his throne. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, he will accept for the name that is dear, mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, trust for our trembling and hope for our fear. 5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:29-33 Used With Tune: WAS LEBET
