Praise to the Father

Author: J. H. Hopkins, 1820-91 Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Praise to the Father, the glorious King of creation Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Father, the glorious King of creation! Swell the loud chorus, ye chosen of every nation! O my soul, wake! Harp, lute and psaltery take; Sound forth thy true adoration. 2 Praise to the Son: for the cross that once shamefully bore Him, Now, on the throne of His pow'r let all creature adore Him! Man reigns on high! Lo! all the hosts of the sky Bow down and worship before Him! 3 Praise to the Spirit, whose strong, rushing wind, ever blowing, Still through the world, wheresoever it wisheth, is going. Darkness and death Drink, from Thy quickening breath, Life, light, and joy overflowing. 4 Lord God Almighty, Creator, Redeemer, and Giver, Thy praise resounds by the shore of the bright crystal river. We, too, would fain Echoing humbly the strain, Praise Thee for ever and ever. Topics: Invocation

Awake and Sing the Song

Author: W. Hammond, 1719-83 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 677 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake and sing the song Of Moses and the Lamb; Tune ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue To praise the Savior's name. 2 Sing of His dying love, Sing of His rising pow'r; Sing how He intercedes above For those whose sins He bore. 3 Come, children of His grace, Do not refuse to sing, But summon all your pow'rs to praise Your Savior and your King. 4 Look back and see the state Wherein your nature lay Then wonder at His love so great Who did your ransom pay. 5 May Jesus' Word take place And wisdom is us dwell That we His miracles of grace In psalms and hymns may tell. 6 Tell in angelic strains What Christ has done for you, How He has taken off your chains And formed your hearts anew. 7 Leave earthly joys below To those of worldly taste; Think, speak, and sing of nothing now But Christ, the first and last. 8 Sing, for you hear Christ say, "Your sins are all forgiv'n," Go forth, rejoicing all the way, And singing enter heav'n.
