Accept, O Lord, Thy servants' thanks
Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: Church Book #315 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Accept, O Lord, Thy servants' thanks
For Thy enlivening Word,
By Thy most Holy Spirit taught,
By holy prophets heard.
That Word in Thy recording Book
From age to age descends:
Her teaching here Thy Church begins,
And here her teaching ends.
2 Whate'er of truth the soul can need
To clear her darkling sight,
Whate'er to check the wandering feet,
And guide their course aright;
Whate'er of fear the bad to daunt,
Of hope the good to cheer:
All that may profit man, O Lord,
Thy bounty gives us here.
3 Joined with our household's little church,
And in our lonely hours,
And in the assembly of the saints,
That sacred Word be ours,
To read and hear, to mark and learn,
And inwardly digest;
And He who gave the word, may He
On those who learn it, rest!
4 Thence on our hearts may lively faith
Celestial comfort pour,
With patience, lightener of our ills,
And hope that looks before:
That we, with Thy united Church,
May lift our souls above,
And with one mind and mouth proclaim
Thy glory, God of love! Topics: The Means of Grace The Word of God; Sexagesima Sunday; Lent, First Sunday; Whit-Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 81ST PSALM

We Praise Thy Name, All-Holy Lord
Author: Ebenezer J. Newell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7646 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. We praise Thy name, all-holy Lord,
For him, the beacon-light
That shone beside our western sea
Through mists of ancient night;
Who sent to Ireland’s fainting church
New tidings of Thy Word:
For David, prince of Cambrian saints,
We praise Thee, holy Lord.
2. For all the saintly band whose prayers
Still gird our land about,
Of whom, lest men disdain their praise,
The voiceless stones cry out;
Our hills and vales on every hand
Their names and deeds record:
For these, thy ancient hero host,
We praise Thee, holy Lord.
3. Grant us but half their burning zeal,
But half their iron faith,
But half their charity of heart,
And fortitude to death;
That we with them and all Thy saints
May in Thy truth accord,
And ever in Thy holy Church,
May praise Thee, holy Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 81ST
We Praise Thy Name, All-Holy Lord
Voce mea
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #41c (1640) First Line: I with my voice to God do crie Lyrics: 1 I with my voice to God did crie,
with heart and hearty cheare:
My voice to God I lift on hie,
and he my suit doth heare.
2 In time of griefe I sought to God,
by night no rest I took:
But stretcht my hands to him abroad,
my soule comfort forsook.
3 When I to think on God intend
my trouble then is more:
I spake, but could not make an end,
my breath was stopt so sore.
4 Thou heldst mine eyes alwaies from rest,
that I therewith did wake:
With feare I am so sore opprest,
my speech doth me forsake.
5 The daies of old in mind I cast,
and oft did think upon
The times and ages that are past
full many years agone.
6 By night my songs I call to mind,
once made thy praise to show:
And with my heart much talk I find,
my spirits do search to know.
7 Will God, said I, at once for all
cast off his people thus:
So that henceforth no time he shall
be friendly unto us?
8 What? is his goodnesse clean decaid
for ever and a day?
Or is his promise now delaid,
and doth his truth decay?
9 And will the Lord our God forget
his mercies manifold?
Or shall his wrath increase so hot,
his mercies to with-hold?
10 At last I said, my weakness is
the cause of this mistrust,
Gods mighty hand can help all this,
and change it when he lust.
The second Part:
11 I will regard and think upon
the working of the Lord:
Of all his wonders past and gone,
I gladly will record.
12 Yea, all his works I will declare,
and what he did devise:
To tell his facts I will not spare,
and all his counsell wise.
13 Thy works (O LordO are all upright,
and holy all abroadL
What one hath strength to match the might
of thee the Lord our God?
14 Thou art a God that doth forth show
thy wonders every hour:
And so dost make the people know
thy vertue and thy power.
15 And thine own folk thou dost defend
with strength and stretched arme:
The sonnes of Jacob that descend,
and Joseph's seed from harme.
16 The waters Lord, perceived thee,
the waters saw thee well:
And they for feare away did flee,
the depths on trembling fell.
17 The clouds that were both thick and black,
did rain full plenteously:
The thunder in the aire did crack,
thy shafts abroad did flie.
18 Thy thunder in the aire was heard,
the lightnings from above,
With flashes great made men afraid,
the earth did quake and move.
19 Thy waies within the sea do lie,
thy paths in waters deep:
Yet none can there thy steps espie,
or know thy paths to keep.
20 Thou ledst thy folk upon the land,
as sheep on every side:
Through Moses and by Aarons hand
thou didst them safely guide. Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English Tune Title: [I with my voice to God do cry]

There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Hymnal of Praise #449a (1913) Tune Title: SPURGEON
There is a land of pure delight
Deo exultate
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #45b (1640) First Line: Be light and glad, in God rejoyce Lyrics: 1 Be light and glad, in God rejoyce,
which is our strength and stay:
Be joyfull and lift up your voice,
to Jacob's God, I say.
2 Prepare your instruments most meet
some joyfull Psalme to sing:
Strike up with Harp and Lute so sweet,
on every pleasant string.
3 Blow as it were in the new Moone,
with trumpets of the best:
As it is used to be done,
at any solemne feast.
4 For this is unto Israel,
a statute and a trade"
A law that must be kept full well,
which Jacob's God hath made.
5 This clause with Joseph was decreed,
when he from Egypt came:
That as a witnesse all his seed
should still observe the same.
6 When God.O say, had so prepar'd
to bring him from that land:
Whereas the speech which he had heard
he did not understand.
7 I from his shoulder took (saith he)
the burthen clean away:
And from the furnace quit him free
from burning brick of clay.
8 When thou in grief didst cry and call,
I holp thee by and by:
And I did answer thee withall,
in thunder secretly.
9 Yea, at the waters of discord,
I did thee tempt and prove:
Whereas the goodnesse of the Lord
with muttering thou didst move.
10 Heare O my folk, O Israel,
and I assure it thee.
Regard and marke my words full well,
if thou wilt cleave to me.
The second Part:
11 Thou shalt no god in thee reserve,
of any land abroad
And in no wise bow to or serve
a strange and foreign god.
12 I am the Lord thy God, and I
from Egypt set thee free:
Then ask of me abundantly,
and I will give it thee.
13 And yet my people would not heare
my voice when that I spake:
And Israel would not obey,
but did me quite forsake.
14 Then did I leave them to their will,
in hardnesse of their heart:
To walk in their own counsels still,
themselves they did pervert.
15 O that my people would have heard
the words that I did say:
And eke that Israel would regard
to walk within my way.
16 How soon would I confound their foes
and bring them down full low:
And turn my hand upon all those
that would them overthrow.
17 And they that at the Lord did rage,
as slaves should seek him till:
But of his folk their time and age,
should flourish ever still.
18 I would have fed them with the crop,
and finest of the wheat:
And made the rock with honey drop,
that they their fils should eat.

Laudate nomen
Author: N. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #79c (1640) First Line: O praise the Lord, praise him praise him Lyrics: 1 O Praise the Lord, praise him, praise him
praise him with one accord:
O praise him still all ye that be
the servants of the Lord.
2 O praise him, ye that stand and be
in the house of the Lord;
Ye of his court, and of his house,
praise him with one accord.
3 Praise ye the Lord for he is good,
sing praises to his Name:
It is a comely and good thing thing
alwaies to do the same.
4 For why? the Lord hath Jacob chose,
to be his own ye see;
And hath he chosen Israel
his treasure for to be.
5 For this I know and am right sure,
the Lord is very great:
He is indeed above all gods,
most easie to intreat.
6 For whatsoever pleased him,
all that full well he wrought:
In heaven, in earth, and in the sea,
which he hath made of nought.
7 He lifts up clouds ev'n the earth,
he makes lightnings and raine:
He bringeth forth the winds also,
he nothing made in vaine.
8 He smote the first-borne of each thing
in Egypt great and least:
He spared there no living thing,
the man nor yet the beast.
9 He hath in thee shew'd wonders great,
O Egypt void of vaunts:
On Pharaoh thy cursed King,
and his severe servants.
10 He smote then many nations,
and did most wondrous things:
H slew the great, the mightiest
and chiefest of their Kings.
11 Sehon King of the Amorites,
and Og king of Basan;
He slew also the kingdomes all
that were of Canaan.
12 And gave their land to Israel
an heritage to be,
To Israel his people
an heritage gave he.
The second Part:
13 Thy Name (O Lord) shall still endure
and thy memoriall
Throughout all generations
that are or ere be shall.
14 The Lord will surely now avenge
his people all indeed:
And to his servants he will seow
favour in time of need.
15 The idols of the heathen are made
in all the coasts and lands
Of silver and of gold they be,
the work even of mens hands.
16 They have their mouthes and cannot speak,
and eyes that have no sight:
17 They have eke eares and heare nothing
their mouthes are breathlesse quite.
18 Wherefore all they are like to them.
that so do set them forth:
And likewise those that trust in them,
Or think they be ought worth.
19 O all ye house of Israel,
see that ye praise the Lord:
And ye that be of Aarons house,
praise him with one accord.
20 And ye that be of Levies house,
praise ye likewise the Lord:
All ye that stand in awe of him,
praise him with one accord.
21 And out of Sion sound his praise,
the great praise of the Lord,
Which dwelleth in Jerusalem,
praise him with one accord. Scripture: Psalm 135 Languages: English Tune Title: [O praise the Lord, praise him, praise him]
