Psalm 95

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LD1888 #85 (1888) Scripture: Genesis 1:1 First Line: Come sound his praise abroad 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 our gracious God.

Psalm 100

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LD1888 #86 (1888) Scripture: Genesis 1:1 First Line: Before Jehovah's awful throne Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations! bow with sacred joy: Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We are his people, we his care,-- Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker! to thy name! 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity, thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

The holy Day of Rest

What large extent! what lofty height! My soul, with all the powers I boast Is in the boundless prospect lost. 5 Oh, may these thoughts possess my breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest; Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there.

Within thy circling arms I lie, Enclosed on every side. 5 So let thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LD1888 #170 (1888) Scripture: Genesis 3:8 First Line: Lord, where shall guilty souls retire Lyrics: 1 Lord! where shall guilty souls retire, Forgotten and unknown? In hell they meet thy dreadful fire-- In heaven thy glorious throne. 2 If, winged with beams of morning light, I fly beyond the west, Thy hand, which must support my flight, Would soon betray my rest. 3 If, o'er my sins, I think to draw The curtains of the night, Those flaming eyes, that guard thy law, Would turn the shades to light. 4 The beams of noon, the midnight hour, Am both alike to thee: Oh, may I ne'er provoke that power, From which I cannot flee.

"We are confident"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LD1888 #574 (1888) Scripture: Genesis 3:19 First Line: Why do we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To call them to his arms. 2 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And scattered all the gloom. 4 The graves of all the saints he blessed, And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head? 5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way; Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise; Awake! ye nations under ground; Ye saints! ascend the skies.

Resurrection sure

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: LD1888 #575 (1888) Scripture: Genesis 3:19 First Line: When downward to the darksome tomb Lyrics: 1 When downward to the darksome tomb I thoughtful turn my eyes, Frail nature trembles at the gloom And anxious fears arise. 2 Why shrinks my soul?--in death's embrace Once Jesus captive slept: And angels, hovering o'er the place, His lowly pillow kept. 3 Thus shall they guard my sleeping dust, And, as the Saviour rose, The grave again shall yield her trust, And end my deep repose. 4 My Lord, before to glory gone, Shall bid me come away; And calm and bright shall break the dawn Of heaven's eternal day. 5 Then let my faith each fear dispel, And gild with light the grave; To him my loftiest praises swell, Who died, from death to save.
