All People That on Earth Do Dwell

Author: William Kethe Hymnal: TH1990 #1 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, come ye before him and rejoice. 2 The Lord ye know is God indeed; without our aid he did us make; we are his folk, he doth us feed, and for his sheep he doth us take. 3 O enter then his gates with praise, approach with joy his courts unto; praise, laud, and bless his name always, for it is seemly so to do. 4 For why? The Lord our God is good, his mercy is forever sure; his truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure.

O Worship the King

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your pow'r has founded of old; has 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air; it shines in the light; it streams from the hills; it descends to the plain; and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 6 O measureless Might! Ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn you above, the humbler creation, though feeble their lays, with true adoration shall lisp to your praise.

Hymnal: TH1990 #29 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer and saved his people in distress; this to the coming age declare, that they his holy name may bless. 2 The Lord, exalted on his throne, looked down from heav'n with pitying eye to still the lowly captive's moan and save his people doomed to die. 3 All men in Zion shall declare his gracious name with one accord, when kings and nations gather there to serve and worship God the Lord. 4 The earth and heav'ns shall pass away, like vesture worn and laid aside, but changeless you shall live alway, your years forever shall abide. 5 You, O Jehovah, shall endure, your throne forever is the same; and to all generations sure shall be your great memorial name.

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1990 #30 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home: 2 Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, with all their lives and cares, are carried downward by your flood, and lost in foll'wing years. 6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the op'ning day. 7 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come: O be our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1990 #31 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Have you not known, have you not heard that firm remains on high the everlasting throne of him who formed the earth and sky? 2 Are you afraid his pow'r shall fail when comes thine evil day? And can an all-creating arm grow weary or decay? 3 Supreme in wisdom as in pow'r the Rock of Ages stands, though him you cannot see, nor trace the working of his hands. 4 He gives the conquest to the weak, supports the fainting heart; and courage in the evil hour his heav'nly aids impart. 5 Mere human pow'r shall fast decay, and youthful vigor cease; but they who wait upon the Lord in strength shall still increase. 6 They with unwearied feet shall tread the path of life divine; with growing ardor onward move, with growing brightness shine. 7 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar - their wings are faith and love - till, past the cloudy regions here, they rise to heav'n above.

You Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice

Hymnal: TH1990 #43 (1990) Meter: 8.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 You righteous, in the Lord rejoice; it well becomes the good man's voice to sing Jehovah's praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, your gift of sweetest music bring, to him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word; and all the doings of the Lord in faithfulness are wrought. In justice and in judgment right the Lord does ever take delight; with goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns has made, and all the host of them arrayed his breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; he stores away the mighty deep in garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, let all that dwell both far and near in awe before him stand; for, lo, he spoke and it was done, and all, with sovereign pow'r begun, stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, the plans the peoples would maintain are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, his purposes of heart endure, forevermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; and blessed the people are whom he has made his heritage to be, and chosen for his own.
