The heavens declare Thy glory

Author: T. R. Birks, 1874 Appears in 58 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare Thy glory, The firmament Thy power; Day unto day the story Repeats from hour to hour; Night unto night replying, Proclaims in every land, O Lord, with voice undying, The wonders of Thy hand. 2 The sun with royal splendor Goes forth to chant Thy praise; And moonbeams soft and tender Their gentler anthem raise; O’er every tribe and nation That music strange is poured; The song of all creation, To Thee, creation’s Lord. 3 How perfect, just, and holy The precepts Thou hast given; Still making wise the lowly, They lift the thoughts to heaven; How pure, how soul-restoring Thy gospel’s heavenly ray, A brighter radiance pouring Than noon of brightest day! 4 Thy statutes, Lord, with gladness Rejoice the humble heart; And guilty fear and sadness From contrite souls depart: Thy word hath richer treasure Than dwells within the mine, And sweetness beyond measure Attends Thy voice divine. 5 O who can make confession Of every secret sin; Or keep from all transgression His spirit pure within? But let me never boldly From Thy commands depart, Or render to Thee coldly The service of my heart. 6 All heaven on high rejoices To do its Maker’s will; The stars with solemn voices Resound Thy praises still; So let my whole behavior, Thoughts, words, and actions be, O Lord, my Strength, my Savior, One ceaseless song to Thee.

Say, with what salutations

Author: Rev. Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Say with what salutations Shall I Thine advent greet? Desire of all the nations, My Joy and Refuge meet! O Jesus, Jesus! lead me On by Thy blessed light, Teach me whate'er delights Thee To understand aright. 2 With palms doth Zion meet Thee, Spreads branches in the way; To raise my soul to greet Thee Glad psalms I’ll sing to-day. My heart shall bloom forever With joys and praises new, And from Thy Name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 What hast Thou e’er neglected For my good here below? When heart and soul dejected, Were sunk in deepest woe, When from Thy presence hidden, Where peace and pleasures are, Thou camest, and hast bidden Me joy again, my Star! 4 In bitter bondage lying, Thou com’st and sett’st me free, ’Neath scorn and shame when sighing, Thou com’st and raisest me. Thy grace high honor gives me, Abundance doth bestow, That wastes not, nor deceives me As earthly riches do. 5 No other impulse led Thee To leave Thy throne above, Upon Thine errand sped Thee, But world-embracing love! A love that deeply feeleth The wants and woes of men, No tongue its fulness telleth, It passeth human ken. 6 Sin’s debt and mighty burden, Let not Thy heart affright; The Lord will freely pardon, His grace will cover quite. He comes! He comes! salvation Proclaiming everywhere, Secures His chosen nation Their heritage so fair. 7 Thy foes, why should they move Thee? Their wiles and rage are vain, Thy Savior, who doth love thee, Will scatter them again. O come, Thou Son, and lead us To everlasting light, Up to Thy mansions guide us Of glory and delight.

O come, Eternal Spirit

Author: Rev. Carl Johann Philip Spitta, D. D.; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O come, Eternal Spirit Of truth, diffuse Thou light! Shine in our soul and banish All blindness from our sight! Thy holy fire pour o'er us, Touch heart and lip, that we With faithful, good confession Acknowledge Christ and Thee. 2 O Thou, whom our great Monarch Hath promised unto us, Blest Comforter, come to us, And make us chivalrous. In these times of indiff'rence And dearth of faith, O come! And ply the keen-edged weapons Of early Christendom. 3 Rank unbelief is rampant, Mad folly storms the sky, Hence Thou Thyself must arm us With weapons from on high: With wisdom, grace, endurance, And faith robust, and then Entirely banish from us All false respect for men. 4 These times call for decision, Though foes 'gainst us inveigh; For open, bold confession, Whate'er the world may say: In spite of all the glitter Of gilded heathendom, To praise, defend, and cherish Christ's Gospel till He come. 5 Afar, o'er heathen darkness, The powerful Word breaks day; They cast, with Satan's shackles, Their household-gods away; From every side they hasten Into the Savior's fold, And oh! shall it close to us As to the lost of old! 6 Alas! we truly merit Such judgment as our lot; To us the light is shining, But we receive it not! O grant us greater fervor T' impolre Thy grace, dear Lord, That from us be not taken The light of Thy blest Word. 7 Pour, Spirit, o'er all nations A Pentecostal shower, The Word of testimony Accompany with power, The heart and lips may open— The nations' and our own— And we, through joy and sorrow, Make Christ's salvation known.

Lord Jesus, We Must Know You

Author: Margaret Clarkson Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, we must know you If we would make you known, For how can we proclaim you But by your grace alone? We long to know your fullness, Your life of risen power, For you alone can answer The challenge of this hour. 2 Our broken world is seeking What only you can give; Our words may go unheeded, But not the way we live. O Savior, live within us Your life so strong, so true, That others, touched with wonder, May seek and worship you! 3 Lord Jesus, by your Spirit Renew your Church, we pray, Till what we are makes valid The truth of what we say. So truly may we know you, So make your life our own, That we become so like you Our lives must make you known. Topics: Christian Living; Discipleship; Jesus; Witness Used With Tune: ST. THEODULPH
