I'll lift my voice, O Lord

Author: David G. Preston, b. 1939 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 I'll lift my voice, O Lord, to glorify Your name, for You have lifted me above defeat and shame; You heard my cry to heal and save, and stooped to raise me from the grave. 2 Then to His holy name let all His saints give priase: His wrath is brief, His grace is with us all our days, for grief and tears may last a night, but joy will come with morning light. 3 In easy times I'd felt secure from all life's ills: Your hand upheld me, Lord, like Zion's timeless hills; but with Your smile no longer there assurance plunged to deep despair. 4 To You, O Lord, I cried: 'What can my death achieve? From bones among the dust what praise will You receive? O Lord, be merciful to me! Come quickly, help me - hear my plea!' 5 O how I leapt for joy as grief was put to flight! My sackcloth You removed and clothed me with delight, that You, O Lord, I might adore and give You thanks for evermore.

Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On what has now been sown Thy blessing, Lord, bestow; The pow'r is Thine alone To make it spring and grow. Do Thou in grace the harvest raise, And Thou alone shalt have the praise. 2 To Thee our wants are known, From Thee are all our pow'rs; Accept what is Thine own And pardon what is ours. Our praises, Lord, and prayers receive And to Thy Word a blessing give. 3 Oh, grant that each of us Now met before Thee here May meet together thus When Thou and Thine appear And follow Thee to heav'n, our home.

The Promises I Sing

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The promises I sing, Which sovereign Love hath spoke; Nor will th’eternal King His words of grace revoke; They stand secure, and steadfast still; Not Zion’s hill abides so sure. 2 The mountains melt away When once the Judge appears, And sun and moon decay, That measure mortals’ years; But still the same, in radiant lines, The promise shines thro’ all the flame. 3 Their harmony shall sound Thro’ mine attentive ears, When thunders cleave the ground, And dissipate the spheres; ’Midst all the shock of that dread scene I stand serene, Thy Word my rock.

Hymn 148

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: With cheerful voice I sing Lyrics: With cheerful voice I sing The titles of my Lord, And borrow all the names Of honor from his word: Nature and art can ne'er supply Sufficient forms of majesty. In Jesus we behold His Father's glorious face, Shining for ever bright, With mild and lovely rays Th' eternal God's eternal Son Inherits and partakes the throne.] The sovereign King of kings, The Lord of lords most high, Writes his own name upon His garment and his thigh: His name is called The Word of God; He rules the earth with iron rod. Where promises and grace Can neither melt nor move, The angry Lamb resents The injuries of his love; Awakes his wrath without delay, As lions roar, and tear the prey. But when for works of peace The great Redeemer comes, What gentle characters, What titles he assumes! Light of the world, and Life of men; Nor will he bear those names in vain. Immense compassion reigns In our Immanuel's heart, When he descends to act A Mediator's part: He is a Friend and Brother too; Divinely kind, divinely true. At length the Lord the Judge His awful throne ascends, And drives the rebels far From favorites and friends: Then shall the saints completely prove The heights and depths of all his love.

The mountains shall depart

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: "The mountains shall depart, The hills shall be removed, Faithful, O Lord! Thou art, Faithful hast ever proved, And faithful to eternity, Thy word of promise stands to me. "That blessed word I prove, I know Thee as Thou art; Thy kindness will not move, Nor can Thy truth depart; With me, Thy covenant of peace Is seal'd, is sure, and shall not cease." Thus may the mourner say In the dark hour of grief, When the first trembling ray Of comfort darts relief Into the dungeon of his soul, Till love, joy, peace, illume the whole. Down, then, the dungeon falls, A palace straight upsprings, Salvation guards the walls, And lo! the King of kings Enters with all his glorious train, For ever in that soul to reign.

When shall I be, My God, with Thee, to see Thy face? 3. The patriarchs of old there from their travels cease; The prophets there behold their longed for Prince of Peace; O happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, to see Thy face? 4. The Lamb’s apostles there I might with joy behold, The harpers I might hear harping on harps of gold; O happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, to see Thy face? 5. The bleeding martyrs, they within those courts are found, Clothèd in pure array, their scars with glory crowned; O happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, to see Thy face? 6. Ah me! ah me! that I in Kedar’s tent here stay; No place like that on high; Lord thither guide my way; O happy place! When shall I be, My God, with Thee, to see Thy face? Used With Tune: CHRIST CHURCH Text Sources: The Young Man's Meditation, 1664
