Let All the Earth Their Voices Raise

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let all the earth their voices raise To sing the choicest psalm of praise, To sing and bless Jehovah’s name: His glory let the heathens know, His wonders to the nations show, And all His saving works proclaim. 2. The heathens know Thy glory, Lord, The wondering nations read Thy Word, In Britain is Jehovah known: Our worship shall no more be paid To gods which mortal hands have made; Our maker is our God alone. 3. He framed the globe, He built the sky, He made the shining worlds on high, And reigns complete in glory there: His beams are majesty and light; His beauties, how divinely bright! His temple, how divinely fair! 4. Come the great day, the glorious hour, When earth shall feel His saving power, And barbarous nations fear His name; Then shall the race of man confess The beauty of His holiness, And in His courts His grace proclaim.

O Glorious Hope of Perfect Love

Author: John Wesley; Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 223 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O glorious hope of perfect love! It lifts me up to things above; It bears on eagles’ wings. It gives my ravished soul a taste, And makes me for some moments feast With Jesus’ priests and kings, With Jesus’ priests and kings. 2. Rejoicing now in earnest hope, I stand, and from the mountain top See all the lands below. Rivers of milk and honey rise, And all the fruits of paradise In endless plenty grow, In endless plenty grow. 3. A land of corn, and wine, and oil; Favored with God’s peculiar smile, With ev’ry blessing blest; There dwells the Lord our Righteousness, And keeps His own in perfect peace, And everlasting rest, And everlasting rest. 4. Oh, that I might at once go up; No more on this side of Jordan stop, But now the land possess; This moment end my legal years, Sorrows and sins, and doubts and fears, A howling wilderness, A howling wilderness!

O Lord! How Happy Should We Be

Author: Joseph Anstice Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 135 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord! how happy should we be, If we could leave our cares to Thee, If we from self could rest; And feel at heart that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best. 2. How far from this our daily life How oft disturbed by anxious strife, By sudden wild alarms; Oh, could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall On Thy almighty arms 3. Could we but kneel and cast our care Upon our God in humble prayer, With strengthened souls we rise, Sure that our Father who is nigh, To hear the ravens when they cry, Will hear His children’s cries. 4. We cannot trust Him as we should; So chafes weak nature’s restless mood To cast its peace away; But birds and flowerets round us preach, All, all the present evil teach Sufficient for the day. 5. Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours Such lessons learn from birds and flowers, And learn from self to cease; Leave all things to a Father’s will, And taste, before Him lying still E’en in affliction, peace!

O could I speak the matchless worth

Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 744 hymnals Lyrics: O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Savior shine, I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine. I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. O the delightful day will come When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face; Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace.

Arise And Hail The Sacred Day

Author: Elizabeth Scott, 1708-1776 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals First Line: Arise, and hail the sacred day Lyrics: 1 Arise, and hail the sacred day, Cast all low cares of life away; And thoughts of meaner things; This day, to cure our deadly woes, The Sun of Righteousness arose With healing in His wings. 2 If angels on that happy morn The Savior of the world was born Poured forth seraphic songs, Much more should we of human race Adore the wonders of His grace, To whom that grace belongs. 3 How wonderful, how vast His love, Who left the shining realms above, Those happy seats of rest; How much for lost mankind He bore, Their peace and pardon to restore, Can never be expressed. 4 While we adore His boundless grace, And pious joy and mirth take place Of sorrow, grief and pain, Give glory to our God on high, And not, among the general joy, Forget good-will to men. 5 O then let Heav’n and earth rejoice, Creation’s whole united voice, And hymn the sacred day, When sin and Satan vanquished fell, And all the powers of death and hell, Before His sovereign sway.
