Saviour, source of every blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2,233 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Savior, source of every blessing, Tune my heart to grateful lays; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for ceaseless songs of praise. Teach me some melodious measure, Sung by raptured saints above; Fill my soul with sacred pleasure, While I sing redeeming love. Thou didst seek me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; Thou, to save my soul from danger, Didst redeem me with thy blood. By thy hand restored, defended, Safe through life thus far I've come; Safe, O Lord, when life is ended, Bring me to my heavenly home. Amen. Used With Tune: TRUST

Songs of praise the angels sang

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 547 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with alleluias rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity. Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day: God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 233 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what he gives And praise him still, Through good or ill, Who ever lives! My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise.

Lord, we thy presence seek; May ours this blessing be; Give us a pure and lowly heart, A temple meet for thee. Amen. Used With Tune: FRANCONIA

For thou art our salvation, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without thy grace we waste away, Like flowers that wither and decay. To heal the sick stretch out thine hand, And bid the fallen sinner stand; Once more upon thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine.
