I Sing the Mighty Power
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 474 hymnals Topics: Adoration and Praise First Line: I sing the mighty power of God Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad,
and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at God’s command
and all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of the One
that filled the earth with food;
who formed the creatures with a word
and then pronounced them good.
O God, your wonders are displayed
where’er I turn my eye;
if I survey the ground I tread,
or gaze upon the sky!
3 There’s not a plant or flower below
but makes your glories known;
and clouds arise and tempests blow,
by order from your throne;
while all that borrows life from you
is ever in your care,
and everywhere that I may be,
you, God are present there. Used With Tune: HAYDN

Zion, city of our God;
God, whose word cannot be broken,
formed thee for his own abode.

what can shake thy sure repose?

thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,

never fails from age to age.

see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near!
Thus deriving from our banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe we feed upon the manna
which God gives us when we pray.
4. Blest inhabitants of Zion,
washed in our Redeemer's blood;
Jesus, whom our souls rely on,
makes us monarchs, priests to God.

rulers over self to reign,
and as priests his solemn praises
we for thankful offering bring.

Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment his grace receive? [Refrain] Used With Tune: MOODY

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 256 hymnals Topics: Christ Adoration and Praise; Jesus Christ Adoration and Praise 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 In your hearts enthrone Him;
There let Him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Crown Him as your Captain
In temptation's hour;
Let His will enfold you
In its light and power.
5 Brothers, 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.
Amen. Scripture: Romans 6:4 Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON

Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine forever.

My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And, where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me
And on His shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread a table in my sight,
Thy unction grace bestoweth,
And O what transport of delight
From Thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever.

she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;

her longing eyes are blessed,
and the great Church victorious
shall be the Church at rest.

with God, the Three in one,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.

like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee. Used With Tune: AURELIA
