Sing praise to God who reigns above

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 200 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above, The God of all creation, The God of power, the God of love, The God of our salvation. With healing balm my soul He fills, And every pain and sorrow stills: To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and sky all living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore the wisdom which could span, And power which formed, creation's plan: To God all praise and glory! 3 What God's almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning glow or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth: Within the kingdom of His might, Lo, all is just, and all is right: To God all praise and glory! 4 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Saviour saw my helplessness And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God most high, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 5 The Lord is never far away, Forsakes His people never, He is their refuge and their stay, Their peace and trust forever; And with a mother's watchful love He guides them wheresoe'er they rove: To God all praise and glory! 6 When every earthly hope has flown From sorrow's sons and daughters, Our Father from His heavenly throne Beholds the troubled waters, And at His word the storm is stayed Which made His children's hearts afraid: To God all praise and glory! 7 Thus all my pilgrim way along I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises: Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory!

Who trusts in Thee, may joyful be, And see Thee, Lord, descending, To bring us bliss unending. 2 We wait for Thee, ’mid toil and pain, In weariness and sighing; But glad that Thou our guilt hast borne, And cancelled it by dying. Hence, cheerfully may we with Thee Take up our cross and bear it, Till we relief inherit. 3 We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won Our hearts to hope and duty; But while our spirits feel Thee near, Our eyes would see Thy beauty; We fain would be at rest with Thee In peace and joy supernal, In glorious life eternal. 4 We wait for Thee: sure Thou wilt come, The time is swiftly nearing; In this we also now rejoice, And long for Thine appearing. Oh, bliss ’twill be when Thee we see, Homeward Thy people bringing, With transport and with singing!

Bestow, both here and yonder, What serves my everlasting bliss; Preserve me from unrighteousness Throughout my earthly journey. 3 When, at Thy summons, I must leave This vale of sin and sadness, Give me Thy grace, Lord, not to grieve, But to depart with gladness.

Behold the man! how heavy lay

Author: Balthasar Münter; Dr. Henry Mills Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the man! how heavy lay On Him the sinner's burden! What grievous price had He to pay That we might hope for pardon! Such sorrows, since the world began, Before were never seen by man, Nor ever after witnessed. 2 Behold the man! it was for thee His shame and griefs were suffered; Now hear Him say: Behold, in me, The victim for thee offered! The guilt was thine,--its fearful load I bore, atoning with my blood; I died, from death to save thee! 3 Blest Jesus, God's beloved Son! Who all my sins removest,-- Exalted to Thy Father's throne, Show that my soul Thou lovest! And let Thy griefs and death, O Lord, New life and peace to me afford,-- Thus glorify Thy mercy. 4 And when the world, when flesh and blood, To paths of sin allure me; 'Gainst wand'ring from the heav'nly road, Forever to secure me, In mercy cry to me: "Behold The Man who suffered ills untold For thee!--Wilt thou forsake me?"

I would with heav’nly food be fed; Descend, refresh, and bless me. Now make me meet for Thee, O Lord; Now, humbly by my heart implored, Grant me Thy grace and mercy. 2. Thou me to pastures green dost guide, To quiet waters lead me; Thy table Thou dost well provide And from Thy hand dost feed me. Sin, weakness, and infirmity Am I; O Savior, give to me The cup of Thy salvation. 3. O bread of Heav’n, my soul’s delight, For full and free remission With prayer I come before Thy sight, In sorrow and contrition. With faith adorn my soul that I May to Thy table now draw nigh With Thine own preparation. 4. I merit not Thy favor, Lord, Sin now upon me lieth; Beneath my burden, self-abhorred, To Thee my spirit crieth. In all my grief this comforts me, That Thou on sinners graciously, Lord Jesus, hast compassion. Used With Tune: HERR, WIE DU WILLST

Out of the depths I cry to Thee

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our of the depths I cry to Thee, Lord God, O hear my wailing! Thy gracious ear incline to me, And make my prayer availing! On my misdeeds in mercy look, O deign to blot them from Thy book, Or who can stand before Thee? 2 Thou canst be merciful while just,-- This is my hope's foundation; On Thy redeeming grace I trust,-- Grant me, then, Thy salvation. Shielded by Thee, I stand secure; Thy word is firm, Thy promise sure, And I rely upon Thee. 3 Like those who watch for midnight's hour To hail the dawning morrow, I wait for Thee, I trust Thy power, Unmoved by doubt or sorrow. So thus let Israel hope in Thee, And he shall find Thy mercy free, And Thy redemption plenteous. 4 Where'er the greatest sins abound, By grace they are exceeded; Thy helping hand is always found With aid, where aid is needed: Thy hand, the only hand to save, Will rescue Israel from the grace, And pardon his transgression. Amen. Topics: Self Abasement; Confession of Sin; Contrition; Grace Fulness of; Grace Magnified; Penitence; Repentance; Salvation By Grace Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN
