The God of Abraham Praise
Author: David ben Judah Dayyan, fl. 1400; Thomas Olivers, 1725-1799 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 455 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:3 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love;
To him uplift your voice,
At whose supreme command
From earth we rise, and seek the joys
At his right hand.
2 He by himself has sworn:
I on his oath depend;
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
To heav'n ascend:
I shall behold God's face,
I shall his power adore,
And sing the wonders of his grace
For evermore.
3 There dwells the Lord, our King,
The Lord, our Righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace;
On Zion's sacred height
His kingdom he maintains,
And, glorious with the saints in light,
For ever reigns.
4 The God who reigns on high
The great archangels sing,
And "Holy, Holy, Holy," cry,
"Almighty King!
Who was, and is, the same,
For all eternity,
Immortal Father, great I AM,
All glory be." Topics: Lent 3,Year C; Ordinary Time 32, Year C; Lenten Season; Funeral; Gathering; Grace; Heaven; Kingdom; Praise; Saints; Trust Used With Tune: LEONI

God, whose almighty word
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus,; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:3 First Line: Come, you faithful raise the strain Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.

My Savior, my almighty Friend

Where will the growing numbers end,
The numbers of thy grace?

Thy goodness I adore;
And since I knew thy graces first,
I speak thy glories more.

Of the celestial road,
And march, with courage in thy strength,
To see my Father, God.

For some surprising sin,
I'll plead thy perfect righteousness,
And mention none but thine.

The victories of my King!

Shall thy salvation sing. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; Praise to God the Saviour

Be endless blessings paid;

Forever on thy head.

Hast set the prisoners free;
Hast made us kings and priests to God;
And we shall reign with thee.

To rivers of delight.

Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise,
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar,
Branch of royal David's stem
In Thy birth at Bethlehem:
Anthems be to Thee addressed,
God in man made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana wedding guest
In Thy Godhead manifest;
Manifest in pow'r divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to Thee addressed,
God in man made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil's might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever bringing good from ill;
Anthems be to Thee addressed,
God in man made manifest.
4 Sun and moon shall darkened be,
Stars shall fall, the heav'ns shall flee;
Christ will then like lightning shine,
All will see His glorious sign;
All will then the trumpet hear,
All will see the Judge appear;
Thou by all wilt be confessed,
God in man made manifest.
5 Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord,
Present in Thy holy Word–
Grace to imitate Thee now
And be pure, as pure art Thou;
That we might become like Thee
At Thy great epiphany
And may praise Thee, ever blest,
God in man made manifest. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
