Psalm 72 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,801 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 First Line: Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Lyrics:
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
[Behold the islands with their kings,
And Europe her best tribute brings;
From north to south the princes meet,
To pay their homage at his feet.
There Persia, glorious to behold,
There India shines in eastern gold;
And barb'rous nations at his word
Submit, and bow, and own their Lord.]
For him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
Blessings abound where'er he reigns,
The pris'ner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
[Where he displays his healing power
Death and the curse are known no more;
In him the tribes of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.
Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the long Amen.]

Psalm 72 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 First Line: Great God, whose universal sway Lyrics:
Great God, whose universal sway
The known and unknown worlds obey,
Now give the kingdom to thy Son,
Extend his power, exalt his throne.
Thy sceptre well becomes his hands,
All heav'n submits to his commands;
His justice shall avenge the poor,
And pride and rage prevail no more.
With power be vindicates the just,
And treads th' oppressor in the dust;
His worship and his fear shall last,
Till hours, and years, and time be past.
As rain on meadows newly mown,
So shall he send his influence down;
His grace on fainting souls distils,
Like heav'nly dew on thirsty hills.
The heathen lands that lie beneath
The shades of overspreading death,
Revive at his first dawning light,
And deserts blossom at the sight.
The saints shall flourish in his days,
Dressed in the robes of joy and praise
Peace, like a river from his throne,
Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

Psalm 72: O Lord, thy judgments give the king
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 First Line: O Lord, thy judgments give the king Lyrics:
1O Lord, thy judgments give the king,
his son thy righteousness.
2With right he shall thy people judge,
thy poor with uprightness.
3The lofty mountains shall bring forth
unto the people peace;
Likewise the little hills the same
shall do by righteousness.
4The people’s poor ones he shall judge,
the needy’s children save;
And those shall he in pieces break
who them oppressed have.
5They shall thee fear, while sun and moon
do last, through ages all.
6Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,
or show’rs on earth that fall.
7The just shall flourish in his days,
and prosper in his reign:
He shall, while doth the moon endure,
abundant peace maintain.
8His large and great dominion shall
from sea to sea extend:
It from the river shall reach forth
unto earth’s utmost end.
9They in the wilderness that dwell
bow down before him must;
And they that are his enemies
shall lick the very dust.
10The kings of Tarshish, and the isles,
to him shall presents bring;
And unto him shall offer gifts
Sheba’s and Seba’s king.
11Yea, all the mighty kings on earth
before him down shall fall;
And all the nations of the world
do service to him shall.
12For he the needy shall preserve,
when he to him doth call;
The poor also, and him that hath
no help of man at all.
13The poor man and the indigent
in mercy he shall spare;
He shall preserve alive the souls
of those that needy are.
14Both from deceit and violence
their soul he shall set free;
And in his sight right precious
and dear their blood shall be.
15Yea, he shall live, and giv’n to him
shall be of Sheba’s gold:
For him still shall they pray, and he
shall daily be extoll’d.
16Of corn an handful in the earth
on tops of mountains high,
With prosp’rous fruit shall shake, like trees
on Lebanon that be.
The city shall be flourishing,
her citizens abound
In number shall, like to the grass
that grows upon the ground.
17His name for ever shall endure;
last like the sun it shall:
Men shall be bless’d in him, and bless’d
all nations shall him call.
18Now blessed be the Lord our God,
the God of Israel,
For he alone doth wondrous works,
in glory that excel.
19And blessed be his glorious name
to all eternity:
The whole earth let his glory fill.
Amen, so let it be.

his eternal glory through the earth proclaim.

Absorbed in prayer and praise.

Their fragrance ever sweet.

Lord, let thy just Decrees the King
Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 Lord, let thy just Decrees the King
in all his Ways direct;
And let his Son, throughout his Reign,
thy righteous Laws respect.
2 So shall he still thy People judge
with pure and upright Mind,
Whilst all the helpless Poor shall him
their just Protector find.
3 Then Hills and Mountains shall bring forth
the happy Fruits of Peace;
Which all the Land shall own to be
the work of Righteousness:
4 Whilst he the poor and needy Race
shall rule with gentle Sway,
And from their humble Necks shall take
oppressive Yokes away.
5 In ev'ry Heart, thy awful Fear
shall then be rooted fast,
As long as Sun and Moon endure,
or Time itself shall last.
6 He shall descend like Rain, that chears
the Meadows second Birth;
Or like warm Show'rs, whose gentle Drops
refresh the thirsty Earth.
7 In his blest Days the Just and Good
shall be with Favour crown'd;
The happy Land shall ev'ry-where
with endless Peace abound.
8 His uncontroul'd Dominion shall
from Sea to Sea extend;
Begin at proud Euphrate's Streams,
at Nature's Limits end.
9 To him the savage Nations round
shall bow their servile Heads:
His vanquish'd Foes shall lick the Dust
where he his Conquest spreads.
10 The Kings of Tarshish, and the Isles,
shall costly Presents bring;
From spicy Sheba Gifts shall come,
and wealthy Saba's King.
11 To him shall ev'ry King on Earth
his humble Homage pay;
And diff'ring Nations gladly join
to own his righteous Sway.
12 For he shall set the Needy free,
when they for Succour cry;
Shall save the Helpless, and the Poor,
and all their Wants supply.
Part II
13 His Providence, for needy Souls,
shall due Supplies prepare;
And over their defenceless Lives
shall watch with tender Care.
14 He shall preserve and keep their souls
from Fraud and Rapine free;
And in his sight their guiltless Blood
of mighty Price shall be.
15 Therefore shall God his Life and Reign
to many Years extend;
Whilst Eastern Princes Tribute pay,
and golden Presents send.
For him shall constant Pray'rs be made
thro' all his prosp'rous Days:
His just Dominion shall afford
a lasting Theme of Praise.
16 Of useful Grain, through all the Land,
great Plenty shall appear:
A Handful sown on Mountain-tops
a mighty Crop shall bear:
Its Fruit, like Cedars shook by Winds,
a rattling Noise shall yield:
The City too shall thrive, and vie,
for Plenty, with the Field.
17 The Mem'ry of his glorious Name
thro' endless Years shall run;
His spotless Fame shall shine as bright
and lasting as the Sun.
In him the Nations of the World
shall be completely bless'd,
And his unbounded Happiness
by ev'ry Tongue confess'd.
18 Then bless'd be God, the mighty Lord,
the God whom Israel fears;
Who only wond'rous in his Works,
beyond Compare, appears.
19 Let Earth be with His Glory fill'd;
for ever bless His Name;
Whilst to His Praise the list'ning World
their glad Assent proclaim.

dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,

2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining;
low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
odours of Edom, and offerings divine,
gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favour secure:
richer by far is the heart's adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 282 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:15 Lyrics: 1 The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
Thy Kingdom stands, and grows forever
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.
Amen. Topics: Church, The Church Expectant; Evening; Prayer; Worship Evening Used With Tune: COMMANDMENTS

Let every tongue thy goodness speak
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 214 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:4 Lyrics: 1 Let every tongue thy goodness speak,
Thou sov'reign Lord of all;
Thy strength'ning hands uphold the weak,
And raise the poor that fall.
2 When sorrows bow the spirit down,
When virtue lies distressed,
Beneath the proud oppressor's frown,
Thou giv'st the mourner rest.
3 Thou know'st the pains thy servants feel,
Thou hear'st thy children's cry;
And their best wishes to fulfill,
Thy grace is ever nigh.
4 Thy mercy never shall remove
From men of heart sincere;
Thou sav'st the souls whose humble love
Is joined with holy fear.
5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise,
And spread thy fame abroad;
Let all the sons of Adam raise
The honors of their God. Topics: Attributes of God Goodness; Goodness and Mercy

The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:12-13 Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live before they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread Christ's liberating word.

That justice may on earth be done,
The meek protected from the proud.

Shall peace spring forth from righteousness;
The poor man's cause will He maintain,
And save the week, that none oppress.
3 Then shall Thy fear on earth be known
Long as the sun and moon shall shine;
While endless generations run
Kingdom and glory shall be Thine.
4 Like copious rain in time of dearth,
So shall His gracious coming be;
As gentle show'rs that cheer the earth,
So He shall bring prosperity.
5 The just shall flourish in His day,
And evermore shall peace extend;
From sea to sea shall be His sway,
And to the earth's remotest end.
6 The desert lands to Him shall bow,
And all the islands of the sea,
And kings with gifts shall pay their vow,
His enemies shall bend the knee.

He ever will maintain their right,
Will help the poor and save the meek;
Their lives are precious in His sight.

From Greenland's Icy Mountains
Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 1,680 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:17 Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand,
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile?
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole:
Till o'er our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.
Amen. Topics: Christ Kingship and Reign; Christ Kingship and Reign Used With Tune: [From Greenland's icy mountains]

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see.
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Comfort; Evening; Funeral; Grace; Living and Dying in Christ Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:10 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary, rest.
3 O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
4 How weak the effort of my heart,
how cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
5 Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death.

Author: Caroline Maria Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:19 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners
unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious,
when from death he passed;
3 Bore it up triumphant,
with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures,
to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead,
to the Father's breast,
filled it with the glory
of that perfect rest.
4 Christians, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father's glory
o'er the earth to reign;
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now.
