Come, sound his praise abroad
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #321 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, sound his praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.
2 He formed the deeps unknown,
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.
3 Come, worship at his throne;
Come, bow before the Lord;
We are his work, and not our own,
He formed us by his word.
4 To-day attend his voice,
Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.
5 But if your ears refuse
The language of his grace,
And hearts grow hard, like stubborn Jews,
That unbelieving race;
6 The Lord in vengeance dressed,
Will lift his hand, and swear:
You that despise my promised rest,
Shall have no portion there. Topics: General Praise; Hearken to the Word Scripture: Psalm 93:6
Come, sound his praise abroad
My soul, repeat his praise
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #323 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat his praise,
Whose mercies are so great;
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.
2 High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we treat;
So far the riches of his grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.
3 His power subdues our sins,
And his forgiving love,
Far as the east is from the west,
Doth all our guilt remove.
4 The pity of the Lord,
To those who fear his name,
Is such as tender parents feel;
He knows our feeble frame.
5 Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower;
If one sharp blast sweeps o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.
6 But thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.
Topics: General Praise; Mercy in the Midst of Judgment Scripture: Numbers 14:18
My soul, repeat his praise
Let every creature join To praise the eternal God
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #332 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let every creature join
To praise the eternal God;
Ye heavenly hosts! the song begin,
And sound his name abroad.
2 Thou sun, with golden beams!
And moon, with paler rays!
Ye starry lights! ye twinkling flames
Shine to your Maker's praise.
3 He built those worlds above,
And fixed their wondrous frame;
By his command they stand or move,
And ever speak his name.
4 Ye vapors, when ye rise,
Or fall in showers or snow--
Ye thunders! murmuring round the skies,
His power and glory show.
5 Wind, hail, and flaming fire
Agree to praise the Lord,
When ye in dreadful storms conspire
To execute his word.
6 By all his works above,
His honors be expressed;
But saints, who taste his saving love,
Should sing his praises best. Topics: General Praise; Exhortation to Praise
Let every creature join To praise the eternal God
Stand up, and bless the Lord, Ye people of his choice
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: VoP1873 #340 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Stand up, and bless the Lord,
Ye people of his choice;
Stand up, and bless the Lord your God,
With heart, and soul, and voice.
2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear his holy name,
And laud and magnify?
3 Oh, for the living flame
From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our souls inspire
And wing to heaven our thought!
4 God is our strength and song,
And his salvation ours;
Then be his love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers.
5 Stand up, and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore;
Stand up, and bless his glorious name,
Henceforth, for evermore. Topics: General Praise; Hearty Adoration Scripture: Exodus 15:2
Stand up, and bless the Lord, Ye people of his choice
Awake, and sing the song
Author: Hammond Hymnal: VoP1873 #355 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Awake, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Wake every heart and every tongue,
To praise the Saviour's name.
2 Sing of his dying love,
Sing of his rising power;
Sing how he intercedes above
For those whose sins he bore.
3 Sing till we feel our heart
Ascending with our tongue;
Sing till the love of sin depart,
And grace inspire our song.
4 Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing;
Sing on, rejoicing every day
In Christ, th' eternal King.
5 Soon shall ye hear him say,
Ye blessed children, come;
Soon will he call us hence away,
And take his wanderers home. Topics: General Praise; The Heavenly Song Scripture: Isaiah 35:10
Awake, and sing the song
Now let our voices join
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: VoP1873 #356 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Now let our voices join,
To form a sacred song;
Ye pilgrims in Jehovah's ways,
With music pass along.
2 How straight the path appears,
How open and how fair!
No lurking gins t' entrap our feet,
No fierce destroyer there.
3 But flowers of Paradise
In rich profusion spring;
The Sun of glory gilds the path,
And dear companions sing.
4 See Salem's golden spires
In beauteous prospect rise;
And brighter crowns than mortals wear,
Which sparkle through the skies.
5 All honor to his name
Who marks the shining way:
To him who leads the wanderers on
To realms of endless day.
Topics: General Praise; Pilgrim's Song
Now let our voices join
Ah, how shall fallen man
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #360 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man
Be just before his God?
If he contend in righteousness,
We fall beneath his rod.
2 If he our ways should mark
With strict, inquiring eyes,
Could we, for one of thousand faults,
A just excuse devise?
3 All-seeing, powerful God,
Who can with these contend?
Or who that tries th' unequal strife,
Shall prosper in the end?
4 The mountains, in thy wrath,
Their ancient seats forsake;
The trembling earth deserts her place,
Her rooted pillars shake.
5 Ah, how shall guilty man
Contend with such a God?
None, none can meet him and escape,
But through the Saviour's blood! Topics: The Christian System Human Depravity; Man Guilty Scripture: Job 4:17
Ah, how shall fallen man
My former hopes are fled
Author: Cowper Hymnal: VoP1873 #369 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My former hopes are fled:
My terror now begins;
I feel, alas! that I am dead
In trespasses and sins.
2 Ah, whither shall I fly?
I hear the thunder roar:
The law proclaims destruction nigh,
And vengeance at the door.
3 When I review my ways,
I dread impending doom;
But hark! a friendly whisper says,
Flee from the wrath to come.
4 I see, or think I see,
A glimmering from afar,
A beam of day that shines for me,
To save me from despair.
5 Forerunner of the sun,
It marks the pilgrim's way;
I'll gaze upon it while I run,
And watch the rising day. Topics: The Christian System Condemnation; Trembling Solicitude Scripture: Luke 3:7
My former hopes are fled
How heavy is the night
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #371 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How heavy is the night
That hangs upon our eyes,
Till Christ with his reviving light
Over our souls arise!
2 Our guilty spirits dread
To meet the wrath of heaven;
But, in his righteousness arrayed,
We see our sins forgiven.
3 Unholy and impure
Are all our thoughts and ways:
His hands infected nature cure
With sanctifying grace.
4 The powers of hell agree
To hold our souls in vain;
He sets the sons of bondage free,
And breaks the cursed chain.
5 Lord, we adore thy ways
To bring us near to God,
Thy sovereign power, thy healing grace,
And thine atoning blood. Topics: The Christian System Condemnation; The Bondage of the Soul Scripture: John 1:9
How heavy is the night
Not all the blood of beasts
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #390 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away--
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing his bleeding love. Topics: The Christian System Atonement; The Sacrifice Scripture: Psalm 130:7
Not all the blood of beasts
