Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names and Places Massah; Biblical Names and Places Meribah 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." Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: BEECHER Text Sources: Psalter, 1912

God helps the stranger in distress, the widow and the fatherless, and grants the prisoner glad release. 4 I'll praise you while you lend me breath, and, when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my noblest powers; my days of praise are never past while life and thought and being last or immortality endures.

Oh, the wormwood and the gall! Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss– help us, Lord, to bear our cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark the miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete: “It is finished!” hear him cry– save us, Lord, when death draws nigh. 4 Early hasten to the tomb where they laid his breathless clay: all is solitude and gloom. Who has taken him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise. Scripture: Matthew 27:27-31 Used With Tune: REDHEAD

All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from the Light to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 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. 4 Alleluia! Now we cry to our Lord immortal, who, triumphant, burst the bars of the tomb’s dark portal; Alleluia! With the Son, God the Father praising; Alleluia! Yet a gain to the Spirit raising.

In his goodness to the righteous God his righteousness displays; God, my rock, my strength and refuge, just and true are all your ways.
