Glory be to the Father, and to the Son
Hymnal: VoP1873 #C1 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
And to the Holy Ghost;

World without end. Amen. Topics: Chants
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want
Hymnal: VoP1873 #C2 (1873) Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want;
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake;
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.
Topics: Chants
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want
There were shepherds abiding in the field
Hymnal: VoP1873 #C3 (1873) Lyrics: 1 There were shepherds abiding in the field,
Keeping watch over their flock by night,
2 And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
And the glory of the Lord shone round about them,
And they were sore afraid.
3 And the angel said unto them, Fear not;
For behold, I bring you good tidings
Of great joy, which shall be to all people.
4 For unto you is born this day, in the city of David,
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
5 And suddenly there was with the angel,
A multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:
6 Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, good will to men. Topics: Chants
There were shepherds abiding in the field
Our Father who art in heaven
Hymnal: VoP1873 #C4 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven;
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever: Amen. Topics: Chants; The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven
The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him
Hymnal: VoP1873 #C5 (1873) Lyrics: 1 The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,
And his righteousness unto children's children;
2 To such as keep his covenant,
And to those that remember his commandments to do them.
3 For the promise is unto you,
And to your children;
And to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
4 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd;
He shall gather the lambs with his arm,
And carry them in his bosom.
5 I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed,
And my blessing upon thine offspring.
6 And Jesus said, Suffer little children to come unto me,
And forbid them not;
For of such is the kingdom of heaven.
7 All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth:
8 Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations,
Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;
9 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you;
And lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him
If a man die, shall he live again?
Hymnal: VoP1873 #C6 (1873) Lyrics: 1 If a man die, shall he live again?
All the days of my appointed time will I wait
Till my change come.
2 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down,
That it will sprout again,
And that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
3 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth,
Yet through the scent of will it will bud,
And bring forth boughs like a plant.
4 But man dieth and wasteth away;
Yea, man giveth up the ghost,
And where is he?
5 As the waters fail from the sea,
So man lieth down, and riseth not
Till the heavens be no ore.
6 Oh, that thou would'st hide me in the grave,
That thou would'st keep me in secret, till thy wrath be past,
That thou would'st appoint me a set time, and remember me.
7 For I know that my Redeemer liveth,
And that he shall stand in the latter day upon the earth,
And though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.

The Spirit breathes upon the word
Author: Cowper Hymnal: VoP1873 #1 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun;
It gives a light to every age;--
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
Its truths upon the nations rise;--
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be thine,
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love,
Till glory breaks upon my view,
In bright worlds above.

Begins his glorious way;
His beams through all the nations run,
And life and light convey.
2 But where the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgments just!
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And we securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
Oh, may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven. Topics: The Bible; Power of God's Word Scripture: Genesis 32:26
Behold the morning sun
Let everlasting glories crown
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #3 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Let everlasting glories crown
Thy head, my Saviour and my Lord!
Thy hands have brought salvation down,
And writ the blessings in thy word.
2 How well thy blessed truths agree!
How wise and holy thy commands!
Thy promises, how firm they be!
How firm our hope and comfort stands!
3 Should all the forms that men devise,
Assault my faith with treacherous art,
I'd call them vanity and lies,
And bind the gospel to my heart. Topics: The Bible; The Book above All Scripture: Genesis 3:8
Let everlasting glories crown
Thy word, almighty Lord
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: VoP1873 #4 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy word, almighty Lord,
Where'er it enters in,
Is sharper than a two-edged sword,
To slay the man of sin.
2 Thy word is power and life;
It bids confusion cease,
And changes envy, hatred, strife,
To love, and joy, and peace.
3 Then let our hearts obey
The gospel's glorious sound;
And all its fruits, from day to day,
Be in us and abound.

Thy word, almighty Lord
Upon the gospel's sacred page
Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #5 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Upon the gospel's sacred page,
The gathered beams of ages shine;
And, as it hastens, every age
But makes its brightness more divine.
2 On mightier wing, in loftier flight,
From year to year does knowledge soar;
And, as it soars, the gospel light
Becomes effulgent more and more.
3 More glorious still, as centuries roll,
New regions blest, new powers unfurled,
Expanding with the expanding soul,
Its radiance shall o'erflow the world;--
4 Flow to restore, but not destroy;
As when the cloudless lamp of day
Pours out its floods of light and joy,
And sweeps the lingering mist away.
Topics: The Bible; Their Words to the End of the World Scripture: Psalm 19:4
Upon the gospel's sacred page
The heavens declare thy glory, Lord!
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #6 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare thy glory, Lord!
In every star thy wisdom shines;
But when our eyes behold thy word,
We read thy name in fairer lines.
2 The rolling sun, the changing light,
And nights and days, thy power confess;
But the blest volume thou hast writ
Reveals thy justice and thy grace.
3 Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise
Round the whole earth, and never stand;
So when thy truth began its race,
It touched and glanced on every land.
4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest,
Till through the world thy truth has run;
Till Christ has all the nations blest
That see the light, or feel the sun.
5 Great Sun of Righteous! arise;
Bless the dark world with heavenly light;
Thy gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.
6 Thy noblest wonders here we view,
In souls renewed, and sins forgiven;
Lord! cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
And make thy word my guide to heaven.

This book of books I'd rather own
Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #7 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 This book of books I'd rather own,
Than all the gold or gems
That e'er in monarchs' coffers shone;--
Than all their diadems.
2 Nay, were the seas one chrysolyte,
The earth a golden ball,
And diamonds all the stars of night,
This book were worth them all.
3 Without a doubt, this book is worth
All else to mortals given;
For what are all the joys of earth,
Compared to joys in heaven?
4 This is the guide our Father gave,
To lead to realms of day--
A star whose luster gilds the grave--
The life, the light, the way.

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: VoP1873 #8 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Mark the soft-falling snow,
And the descending rain!
To heaven, from whence it fell,
It turns not back again;
But waters earth through every pore,
And calls forth all her secret store.
2 Arrayed in beauteous green,
The hills and valleys shine,
And man and beast are fed
By providence divine:
The harvest bows its golden ears,
The copious seed of future years.

My gospels shall descend,
Almighty to effect
The purpose I intend;
Millions of souls shall feel its power,
And bear it down to millions more. Topics: The Bible; As Snow and Rain Scripture: Psalm 19

Thy testimonies sure;
The statutes of thy realm are right,
And thy commandments pure.
2 Let these, O God, my soul convert,
And make thy servant wise;
Let these be gladness to my ears,
The dayspring to mine eyes.
3 By these may I be warned betimes:
Who knows the guide within?
Lord, save me from presumptuous crimes;
Cleanse me from secret sin.
4 So may the words my lips express--
The thoughts that throng my mind--
O Lord, my strength and righteousness,
With thee acceptance find.

I love the volume of thy word
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #10 (1873) Lyrics: 1 I love the volume of thy word;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distressed!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
2 From the discoveries of thy law,
Thy perfect rules of life I draw:
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that has the furnace passed,
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
3 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God! forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain;
Accept my poor attempts of praise,
That I have read thy book of grace,
And book of nature, not in vain.

Makes his eternal counsels known;
'Tis here his richest mercy shines,
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
2 Here sinners of an humble frame
May taste his grace and learn his name;
'Tis shown in characters of blood,
Severely just, immensely good.
3 Here Jesus, in ten thousand ways,
His soul-attracting charms displays;
Recounts his poverty and pains,
And tells his love in melting strains.
4 Wisdom its dictates here imparts,
To form our minds, to cheer our hearts;
Its influence makes the sinner live,
It bids the dropping saints revive.
5 Our raging passions it controls,
And comfort yields to contrite souls;
It brings a better world in view,
And guides us all our journey through.

Close to my heart, and near mine eye,
Till life's last hour my soul engage,
And be my chosen heritage. Topics: The Bible; Fullness of the Word

Spreads heavenly peace around;

And still increasing light.

And view the Saviour there. Topics: The Bible; The Saving Word Scripture: Psalm 119

The depths of love divine. Topics: The Bible; The Spirit's Enlightening Influences Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2

And rests on his command.

And breaks their vain designs;
His counsel stands through every age,
And in full glory shines. Topics: Being of God Existence; Creative Power of God Scripture: Philippians 3:1

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #18 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the lofty sky
Declares its Maker, God;
All all the starry worlds on high,
Proclaim his power abroad.
2 The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night,
Divinely teach his name.
3 In every different land,
Their general voice is known;
They show the wonders of his hand,
And orders of his throne.
4 While of thy works I sing,
Thy glory to proclaim,
Accept the praise, my God, my king,
In my Redeemer's name. Topics: Being of God Existence; God in his Works and Word Scripture: Psalm 19:1
Behold, the lofty sky
There is a God--all nature speaks
Author: Mrs. Steele Hymnal: VoP1873 #19 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 There is a God--all nature speaks,
Through earth and air and sea and skies:
See, from the clouds his glory breaks,
When first the beams of morning rise.
2 The rising sun, serenely bright,
O'er the wide world's extended frame
Inscribes, in characters of light,
His mighty Maker's glorious name.
3 The flowery tribes, all blooming, rise
Above the weak attempts of art;
Their bright, inimitable dyes
Speak sweet conviction to the heart.
4 Ye curious minds, who roam abroad,
And trace creation's wonders o'er,
Confess the footsteps of a God;
Come, bow before him, and adore.

There is a God--all nature speaks
My God, how wonderful thou art
Author: Faber Hymnal: VoP1873 #20 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art,
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!
2 How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord;
By prostate spirits day and night
Incessantly adored.
3 How wonderful, how beautiful,
The sight of thee must be,--
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
And awful purity.
4 Oh how I fear thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears,
And worship thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears.
5 Yet I may love thee, too, O Lord,
Almighty as thou art;
For thou hast stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
6 No earthly father loves like thee;
No mother, e'er so mild,
Bears and forbears as thou hast done
With me, thy sinful child.

My God, how wonderful thou art
Early, my God, without delay
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #21 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Early, my God, without delay,
I haste to seek thy face;
My thirsty spirit faints away,
Without thy cheering grace.
2 I've seen thy glory and thy power
Through all thy temple shine;
My God, repeat that heavenly hour--
That vision so divine.
3 Not all the blessings of a feast
Can please my soul so well,
As when thy richer grace I taste,
And in thy presence dwell.
4 Not life itself, with all its joys,
Can my best passions move;
Or raise so high my cheerful voice,
As thy forgiving love.
5 Thus till my last expiring day,
I'll bless my God and King;
Thus will I lift my hands to pray,
And tune my lips to sing.

Early, my God, without delay
Nature, with solemn accent cries
Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #22 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Nature, with solemn accent cries,
There is a God, that built the skies,
That formed the earth and spread the flood,
A self-existent, mighty God.
2 Creation's wonders, vast and bright,
Proclaim their Maker infinite;
Her bounties show to every eye
The goodness of the Deity.
3 But when we view each precious line,
Within the gospel all divine;
Justice and mercy there we trace,
Eternal truth, transcendent grace.
4 Thanks for the light of nature given,
Thanks for the surer guide to heaven;
For all the treasures of thy word,
We praise the great creation's Lord. Topics: Being of God Existence; There is a God Scripture: Psalm 19:1-2
