Praise God, Ye Servants of the Lord

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Praise God, ye servants of the Lord, O praise His name with one accord; Bless ye the Lord, His name adore From this time forth forevermore, From this time forth forevermore. 2. From rising unto setting sun Praised be the Lord, the Mighty One; He reigns o’er all, supreme in might, Above the heavens in glory bright, Above the heavens in glory bright. 3. On whom but God can we rely, The Lord our God who reigns on high, Who condescends to see and know The things of Heaven and earth below, The things of Heaven and earth below? 4. He lifts the poor and makes them great, With joy He fills the desolate; Praise ye the Lord and bless His name, His mercy and His might proclaim, His mercy and His might proclaim. 5. The barren woman feels His power And comes to sacred motherhood, Adorns with grace the home of man. Sing hallelujah! God is good.

There is a land mine eye hath seen

Author: Gurdon Robins Appears in 168 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land mine eye hath seen In visions of enraptured thought, So bright, that all which spreads between Is with its radiant glories fraught, 2 A land upon whose blissful shore There rests no shadow, falls no stain; There those who meet shall part no more, And those long parted meet gain. 3 Its skies are not like earthly skies, With varying hues of shade and light; It hath no need of suns to rise To dissipate the gloom of night; 4 There sweeps no desolating wind Across that calm, serene abode; The wanderer there a home may find Within the paradise of God.

Let me but hear my Saviour say

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let me but hear my Saviour say, Strength shall be equal to thy day, Then I rejoice in deep distress, Upheld by all-sufficient grace. 2 I can do all things, or can bear All suffering, if my Lord be there; Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains, While he my sinking head sustains. 3 I glory in infirmity, That Christ's own power may rest on me; When I am weak; then am I strong: Grace is my shield, and Christ my sons.

Jesus, my Saviour, let me be

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour, let me be More perfectly conformed to thee; Implant each grace, each sin dethrone, And form my temper like thine own, And form my temper like thine own. 2 My foe, when hungry, let me feed, Share in his grief, supply his need; The haughty frown may I not fear, But with a lowly meekness bear. 3 Let the envenomed heart and tongue, The hand outstretched to do me wrong, Excite no feelings in my breast, But such as Jesus oft expressed. 4 To others let me always give What I from others would receive. Nor, when provoked, with anger burn, Nor evil word or act return. 5 This will proclaim how bright and fair The precepts of the gospel are, And God himself, the God of love, His own resemblance will approve.

When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

Author: Thomas Gibbons Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were his works, from day to day, But miracles of power and grace That spread salvation through our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue; Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witnessed by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives; Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank! 4 But he who marks, from day to day, In generous acts his radiant way, Treads the same path his Saviour trod, The path to glory and to God.

Weaned from this earth I fain would be

Author: Anon. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weaned from this earth I fain would be, Of sin, of self, of all but Thee; Reserved for Christ who bled and died, Surrendered to the Crucified. 2 Securely hid from sin and strife, The lust, the pomp, the pride of life; Prepared for heaven; my noblest care To have my conversation there. 3 Nothing save Jesus would I know; My friend, and my companion, thou; Constrain my soul thy sway to own; Self-will, self-righteousness dethrone.

There is a fold whence none can stray

Author: East Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fold whence none can stray, And pastures clothed in living green, Where sultry sun, or stormy day, Or gloomy night is never seen. 2 Far up the everlasting hills In God's own glorious light it lies; His smile its vast dimension fills With joy divine that never dies.
