O Praise the Lord, for He Is Good (107)

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O praise the Lord, for He is good Lyrics: 1. O praise the Lord, for He is good, His mercies still endure; Thus let His ransomed testify, From all their foes secure. He has redeemed His captive saints From adversaries’ hands, Has gathered them and brought them back In peace from hostile lands. 2. They wandered in the wilderness, By want and hunger pressed; In trouble when they cried to God, He saved their souls distressed. He made the way before them plain, Himself became their Guide; He brought them to a city strong Wherein they might abide. 3. O praise the Lord, ye sons of men, For all His goodness shown; O praise Him for the wondrous works To you He has made known. The longing soul that turns to Him He fully satisfies; He fills with good each hungering one That for His mercy cries.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Author: Lina Sandell Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Thou city ever blest, Within thy portals first I find My safety, peace, and rest. Here dangers always threaten me, My days in strife are spent, And labor, sorrow, worry, grief, I find at best their strength. 2 No wonder, then, that more and more My longings do increase, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, For thee, and never cease. My lineage, too, to thee I trace, A stranger in the earth, In thee my burgher-ship I have, In thee I have my birth. 3 No wonder, then, that I do long O blessed home, for thee, Where finally I shall have rest, From sin and sorrow free; Where tears and weeping are no more, Nor death, nor pain, nor night, For former things are passed away In yonder home of light. 4 Now all for me has lost its charm Which here so much is praised, Since on the cross, through faith, I saw My Saviour, Jesus, raised. My goal is fixed, one thing I ask, Whate’er the cost may be, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Soon to arrive in thee. Amen. Topics: Eternity Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

God's Call Is Best

Author: Jessie Mae Norris Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The call of the road and the pastures so green Lyrics: 1 The call of the road and the pastures so green, The call of the birds as they warble unseen, The call of the wind as it sings through the trees— God's call is supreme; so much greater than these. 2 The call of the brook as it murmurs a song, The call of the river in rippling along, The call of the ocean waves' restless white crest— These calls are most precious, but God's call is best. 3 The rest of green pastures, the birds' songs, the breeze, The calm of the brook on its way to the seas, The strength of the ocean, and many things more Are all in the blessing God's call holds in store. 4 Let's answer the call as we all want to do, With hearts most courageous, with faith that is true; We'll find at day's end a clam feeling of rest, Assured by his Spirit that God's call is best.
