O Give the LORD Wholehearted Praise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Praise of God Lyrics: 1 O give the LORD wholehearted praise. To him thanksgiving I will bring; with all his people I will raise my voice and of his glory sing. 2 His saints delight to search and trace his mighty works and wondrous ways. Majestic glory, boundless grace, and righteousness his work displays. 3 God's wondrous deeds of faithfulness his people ever keep in mind. His works of love and graciousness reveal that God the LORD is kind. 4 God's promise shall forever stand; he cares for those who trust his word. Upon his saints his mighty hand the wealth of nations has conferred. 5 His works are true and just indeed; his precepts are forever sure. In truth and righteousness decreed, they shall forevermore endure. 6 By God's own hand redemption came; his covenant sure no change can know. Let all revere his holy name in heaven above and earth below. 7 In reverence and in godly fear we find the key to wisdom's ways; the wise his holy name revere. Through endless ages sound his praise!

Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save. His glories now we sing who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end; and round his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds yet visible above in beauty glorified. All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Scripture: Isaiah 9:1-7 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

You, O Lord, on high exalted, reign forevermore in might; all your enemies shall perish, sin be banished from your sight. 3 But the good shall live before you, planted in your dwelling place, fruitful trees and ever verdant, nourished by your boundless grace. In his goodness to the righteous God his righteousness displays; God, my rock, my strength and refuge, just and true are all your ways.

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Praise of God Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to God our praise; to the Rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before him now; and with psalms his praises singing, joyful in his presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD of whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is he, our God and King. In his hand are earth's deep places, also his are all the hills; his the sea whose bounds he traces, his the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD, such might revealing, let us come with reverence meet, and, before our Maker kneeling, let us worship at his feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of his care; with a shepherd's hand he feeds us as his flock in pastures fair. 4 While he offers peace and pardon let us hear his voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way– lest to us, so unbelieving, he in judgment should declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest will share."

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Hallelujah! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always Hallelujah!
