Lord God, to You We All Give Praise
Author: Philipp Melanchthon, 1497-1560; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, to you we all give praise;
To you our joyful hymns we raise
That angel hosts you did create
Around your glorious throne to wait.
2 They shine with light and heav'nly grace
And constantly behold your face.
They heed your voice; they know it well;
In godly wisdom they excel.
3 They never rest nor sleep as we;
Their whole delight is but to be
With you, Lord Jesus, and to keep
Your little flock, your lambs and sheep.
4 The ancient dragon is their foe;
His envy and his wrath they know.
So now he subtly lies in wait
To ruin school and church and state.
5 But watchful is the angel band
That follows Christ on ev'ry hand
To guard his people where they go
And break the counsel of the foe.
6 O Lord, awaken songs of praise
For angel hosts that guard our days;
Teach us to serve you and adore
As angels do forevermore. Topics: St. Michael and All Angels; St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
Lord God, to You We All Give Praise
Let the round world with songs rejoice
Author: Richard Mant, 1776-1848 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the round world with songs rejoice,
Let heaven return the joyful voice,
All mindful of the Apostles’ fame,
Let heaven and earth their praise proclaim.
2 Ye servants who once bore the light
Of gospel truth o’er heathen night,
Still may your work that light impart,
To glad our eyes and cheer our heart.
3 O God, by whom to them was given
The key that shuts and opens heaven,
Our chains unbind, our loss repair,
And grant us grace to enter there.
4 For at thy will they preached the word
Which cured disease, which health conferred;
O may thy healing power once more
Our souls to grace and health restore.
5 That when as judge thy Son shall come
To bring his ransomed people home,
He may with them pronounce us blest,
And place us in thine endless rest.
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honour, praise and majesty,
Now and throughout eternity. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Apostles and Evangelists; Office Hymn Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Latin, c. 10th century

Great God, To Thee My Evening Song
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, to Thee my evening song
With humble gratitude I raise;
O let Thy mercy tune my tongue
And fill my heart with lively praise.
2 Mercy, that rich unbounded store;
Does my unnumbered wants relieve;
Among Thy daily craving poor,
On Thy all bounteous hand I live.
3 My days unclouded, as they pass,
And every gently rolling hour,
Are monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to Thy love and power.
4 Thy love and power, celestial Guard,
Preserve me from surrounding harms;
Can danger reach me, while the Lord
Extends His kind protecting arms?
5 My numerous wants are known to Thee,
Ere my slow wishes can arise;
Thy goodness, measureless and free,
Is ready still with full supplies.
6 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart,
Too oft regardless of Thy love,
Ungrateful, can from Thee depart,
And fond of trifles, vainly rove.
7 When calm reflection finds a place,
How vile this wretched heart appears!
O let Thy all subduing grace
Melt it in penitential tears.
8 Seal my forgiveness in the blood
Of Jesus: His dear name alone
I plead for pardon, gracious God,
And kind acceptance at Thy throne.
9 Let this blest hope my eyelids close
With sleep refresh my feeble frame;
Safe in Thy care may I repose,
And wake with praises to Thy name. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

pours on the Church from age to age
the healing unction from above.

the great apostle's chosen friend,
through weary years of toil and strife
was still found faithful to the end.
4. So grant us, Lord, like him to live,
beloved on earth, approved by thee,
till thou at last the summons give,
and we, with him, thy face shall see. Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Saint Luke (October 18) Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

Lord, What a Thoughtless Wretch Was I
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur, and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
2. But O their end, their dreadful end!
Thy sanctuary taught me so;
On slippery rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.
3. Now let them boast how tall they rise,
I’ll never envy them again;
There they may stand with haughty eyes,
Till they plunge deep in endless pain.
4. Their fancied joys, how fast they flee!
Just like a dream when man awakes;
Their songs of softest harmony
Are but a preface to their plagues.
5. Now I esteem their mirth and wine
Too dear to purchase with my blood;
Lord, ’tis enough that Thou art mine,
My life, my portion, and my God. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
