The Wondrous Testimonies of God

My soul will keep and greatly praise;
Thy word, by faithful lips proclaimed,
To simplest minds the truth conveys.

And for Thy mercy press my claim;
O look on me, and show the grace
Displayed to all who love Thy Name.

From sin's dominion save my soul,
From man's oppression set me free,
That I may yield to Thy control.

And teach me all thy laws to keep;
Because Thy statutes are despised,
With overwhelming grief I weep.

with thine all-kindness free from harm wilt hold.

thou dost the mind from earthly dreams recall,
and bring, through Christ, to him for whom are all.

who art and shalt be worshipped evermore:
us whom thou madest, comfort with thy might,
and lead us to enjoy thy heavenly light. Scripture: John 16:13-15 Used With Tune: SONG 22 Text Sources: Based on Amor Patris et Filii, 12th century

Reasons for Praise
Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Bible Inspired First Line: O sing ye Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 O sing ye Hallelujah!
'Tis good our God to praise;
'Tis pleasant and becoming
To Him our songs to raise;
He builds the walls of Zion,
He seeks her wand'ring sons,
He binds their wounds and comforts
The brokenhearted ones.
2 The starry host He numbers,
He calls them all by name;
His greatness and His wisdom
His wondrous works proclaim;
The meek He lifts to honor,
he humbles sinful pride;
Give thanks to Him and utter
His praises far and wide.
3 The heav'ns with clouds He covers,
He sends the cheering rain;
The slopes of all the mountains
He fills with grass and grain;
To beast and bird His goodness
Their daily food supplies;
He cares for all His creatures,
Attentive to their cries.
4 No human pow'r delights Him,
No earthly pomp or pride;
He loves the meek who fear Him
And in His love confide;
Then praise thy God, O Zion,
His gracious aid confess;
He gives thee peace and plenty,
His gifts thy children bless.
5 He sends His swift commandment,
And snow and ice enfold
The world, and none are able
To stand before His cold.
Again He gives commandment;
The winds of summer blow,
The snow and ice are melted,
Again the waters flow.
6 His statutes and His judgments
He makes His people know;
To them as to no others
His grace He loves to show;
For matchless grace and mercy
Your grateful praises bring;
To Him give thanks forever,
And Hallelujah sing.
Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: HARTFORD

Sweet is the sunlight after rain
Author: Dr. W. M. Punshon, 1824-1881 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Scriptures Inspired Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the sunlight after rain,
And sweet the sleep which follows pain;
And sweetly steals the Sabbath rest
Upon the world's work-wearied breast.
2 Of heaven the sign, of earth the calm;
The poor man's birthright and his balm;
God's witness of celestial things;
A sun with healing in its wings.
3 New rising in this gospel time,
And in its sevenfold light sublime,
Blest day of God! we hail its dawn,
To gratitude and worship drawn.
4 O nought of gloom and nought of pride
Should with the sacred hours abide;
At work for God, in loved employ,
We lose the duty in the joy.
5 Breathe on us, Lord! our sins forgive,
And make us strong in faith to live;
Our utmost, sorest need supply,
And make us strong in faith to die. Used With Tune: ARIZONA
