I bind unto myself today
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895); St Patrick (372-466) Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 148:1-8 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three.
2 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
3 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need;
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
5 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three,
of whom all nature hath creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation:
salvation is of Christ the Lord. Topics: Church Year Trinity; Commitment; Creation; God Power of; God Presence of; God Protection of; Self-offering; Trinity Sunday; Trinity Sunday; Vocation; Morning Used With Tune: ST PATRICK

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James W. Johnson, 1871-1938 Meter: 6.6.10.6.6.10.14.14.6.6.10 Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 148:13 First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift ev'ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our people sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered;
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the bright gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land. Topics: God His Faithfulness; Christian Pilgrimage; Worship and Adoration Used With Tune: ANTHEM

O God Beyond All Praising
Author: Michaal Perry, 1942-1996 Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 148 Lyrics: 1 O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end.
We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your Word,
we honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
2 The flower of earthly splendor
in time must surely die,
its fragile bloom surrender
to you, the Lord most high;
but hidden from all nature
the eternal seed is sown
though small in mortal stature,
to heaven's garden grown:
for Christ, your gift from heaven,
from death has set us free,
and we through him are given
the final victory.
3 Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favor
may serve you as our King;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we'll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise. Topics: Praise of Christ; Praise of God; Elements of Worship Praise and Adoration Used With Tune: THAXTED

Hymn 27
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 148:2 First Line: God! the eternal, awful name Lyrics:
God! the eternal, awful name
That the whole heav'nly army fears,
That shakes the wide creation's frame,
And Satan trembles when he hears.
Like flames of fire his servants are,
And light surrounds his dwelling-place;
But, O ye fiery flames! declare
The brighter glories of his face.
'Tis not for such poor worms as we
To speak so infinite a thing;
But your immortal eyes survey
The beauties of your sovereign King.
Tell how he shows his smiling face,
And clothes all heav'n in bright array;
Triumph and joy run through the place,
And songs eternal as the day.
Speak, for you feel his burning love,
What zeal it spreads through all your frame;
That sacred fire dwells all above,
For we on earth have lost the name.
[Sing of his power and justice too,
That infinite right hand of his
That vanquished Satan and his crew,
And thunder drove them down from bliss.]
[What mighty storms of poisoned darts
Were hurled upon the rebels there!
What deadly jav'lins nailed their hearts
Fast to the racks of long despair!]
[Shout to your King, ye heav'nly host,
You that beheld the sinking foe;
Firmly ye stood when they were lost:
Praise the rich grace that kept you so.]
Proclaim his wonders from the skies,
Let every distant nation hear;
And while you sound his lofty praise,
Let humble mortals bow and fear.

O That I Had a Thousand Voices
Author: Johann Mentzer Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 148 Lyrics: 1 O that I had a thousand voices
to praise my God with thousand tongues!
My heart, which in the Lord rejoices,
would then proclaim in grateful songs
to all, wherever I might be,
what great things God hath done for me.
2 O all ye pow'rs that he implanted,
arise, and silence keep no more;
put forth the strength that he hath granted,
your noblest work is to adore.
O soul and body, be ye meet
with heartfelt praise your Lord to greet!
3 All creatures that have breath and motion,
that throng the earth, the sea, the sky,
now join me in my heart’s devotion,
help me to raise his praises high.
My utmost pow'rs can ne'er aright
declare the wonders of his might.
4 O Father, deign thou, I beseech thee,
to listen to my earthly lays;
a nobler strain in heav'n shall reach thee,
when I with angels hymn thy praise
and learn amid their choirs to sing
loud hallelujahs to my King. Topics: Gratitude; Praise Used With Tune: O DASS ICH TAUSEND Text Sources: Trans. composite
