O Lord, Our Heav'nly King

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, our heav’nly King, Thy name is all divine; Thy glories round the earth are spread, And o’er the heav’ns they shine. 2. When to Thy works on high I raise my wond’ring eyes, I see the moon, complete in light, Adorn the darksome skies. 3. When I survey the stars, And all their shining forms, Lord, what is man, that worthless thing, Akin to dust and worms? 4. Lord, what is worthless man, That Thou shouldst love him so? Next to Thine angels he is placed, And lord of all below. 5. Thine honors crown his head, While beasts, like slaves, obey; And birds that cut the air with wings, And fish that cleave the sea. 6. How rich Thy bounties are! And wondrous are Thy ways; Of dust and worms Thy power can frame A monument of praise. 7. Out of the mouths of babes And sucklings Thou canst draw Surprising honors to Thy name And strike the world with awe. 8. O Lord, our heav’nly King, Thy name is all divine; Thy glories round the earth are spread, And o’er the heav’ns they shine. Used With Tune: DONCASTER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. 2 Bright youth and snow-crowned age, Strong men and maidens meek: Raise high your free, exulting song! God's wondrous praises speak! Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. 3 With all the angel choirs, With all the saints of earth, Pour out the strains of joy and bliss, True rapture, noblest mirth! Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. 4 Your clear hosannas raise, And alleluias loud! Whilst answering echoes upward float, Like wreaths of incense cloud. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. 5 Yes, on through life's long path! Still chanting as ye go; From youth to age, by night and day, In gladness and in woe. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. 6 Still lift your standard high! Still march in firm array! As warriors through the darkness toil, Till dawns the golden day! Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. 7 At last the march shall end; The wearied ones shall rest; The pilgrims find their Father's house, Jerusalem the blest. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. 8 Then on, ye pure in heart! Rejoice, give thanks, and sing! Your glorious banner wave on high, The cross of Christ your King! Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give thanks and sing. Amen. Topics: Lay Helpers Used With Tune: [Rejoice, ye pure in heart]

Lord God, the Holy Ghost!

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 274 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, the Holy Ghost! In this accepted hour, As on the day of Pentecost, Descend in all Thy pow'r. 2 We meet with one accord In our appointed place, And wait the promise of our Lord, The Spirit of all grace. 3 Like mighty rushing wind Upon the waves beneath, Move with one impulse every mind, One soul, one feeling breathe. 4 The young, the old, inspire With wisdom from above; And give us hearts and tongues of fire, To pray, and praise, and love. 5 Spirit of Light, explore, And drive our gloom away; With luster shining more and more, Unto the perfect day! 6 Spirit of Truth, be Thou In life and death our Guide; O Spirit of adoption, now May we be sanctified! Amen. Topics: Church Year Pentecost; Pentecost (Whitsunday); Prayer for Light; Sanctification Scripture: Acts 2:1-13 Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM
