Praise to the heavenly Wisdom

Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #155 (1894) Meter: 7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Praise to the heavenly Wisdom Who knows the hearts of all-- The saintly life's beginnings, The traitor's secret fall; Our own ascended Master, Who heard His Church's cry, Made known His guiding presence, And ruled her from on high. 2 Elect in His foreknowledge, To fill the lost one's place; He formed His chosen vessel By hidden gifts of grace; Then, by the lot's disposing He lifted up the poor, And set him with the Princes On high for evermore. 3 Still guide Thy Church, chief Shepherd, Her losses still renew; Be Thy dread keys entrusted To faithful hands and true; Apostles of Thy choosing May all her rulers be, That each with joy may render His last account to Thee!

Praise to the Heavenly Wisdom

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5595 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. Praise to the heavenly Wisdom Who knows the hearts of all— The saintly life’s beginnings, The traitor’s secret fall; Our own ascended Master, Who heard His Church’s cry, Made known His guiding presence, And ruled her from on high. 2. Elect in His foreknowledge, To fill the lost one’s place; He formed His chosen vessel By hidden gifts of grace; Then, by the lot’s disposing, He lifted up the poor, And set him with the princes On high for evermore. 3. For on the golden breastplate Of our great priest above, Twelve are the stones that glisten And throbs that heart of love; And twelve the fair foundations Of Salem’s jasper wall; And twelve the thrones predestined Within her judgment hall. 4. No mystic gem is lacking In that divine array; No empty throne shall darken The glory of that day; For lo! on twelve the Spirit, The Father’s promise, came; And twelve went forth together To preach the saving name. 5. Still guide Thy Church, Chief Shepherd, Her losses still renew; Be Thy dread keys entrusted To faithful hands and true; Apostles of Thy choosing May all her rulers be, That each with joy may render His last account to Thee!

Come praise your Lord and Saviour

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #157 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Come praise your Lord and Saviour, In strains of holy mirth: Give thanks to Him, O children, Who lived a Child on earth. He loved the little children, And called them to His side, His loving Arms embraced them, And for their sake He died. 2 O Jesus, we would praise Thee With songs of holy joy, For Thou on earth didst sojourn, A pure and spotless Boy. Make us like Thee, obedient, Like Thee, from sin stains free, Like Thee, in God's own temple, In lowly home like Thee. 3 O Jesus, we too praise Thee, The lowly Maiden's Son: In Thee all gentlest graces Are gathered into one. Oh, give that best adornment, That Christian maid can wear, The meek and quiet spirit, Which shone in Thee so fair. 4. O Lord, with voices blended We sing our songs of praise: Be Thou the Light and Pattern Of all our childhood's days; And lead us ever onward, That, while we stay below, We may, like Thee, O Jesus, In grace and wisdom grow. Amen. Topics: Praise Languages: English Tune Title: LOCHBIE
