Let All the Earth Their Voices Raise
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let all the earth their voices raise
To sing the choicest psalm of praise,
To sing and bless Jehovah’s name:
His glory let the heathens know,
His wonders to the nations show,
And all His saving works proclaim.
2. The heathens know Thy glory, Lord,
The wondering nations read Thy Word,
In Britain is Jehovah known:
Our worship shall no more be paid
To gods which mortal hands have made;
Our maker is our God alone.
3. He framed the globe, He built the sky,
He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns complete in glory there:
His beams are majesty and light;
His beauties, how divinely bright!
His temple, how divinely fair!
4. Come the great day, the glorious hour,
When earth shall feel His saving power,
And barbarous nations fear His name;
Then shall the race of man confess
The beauty of His holiness,
And in His courts His grace proclaim. Used With Tune: ARIEL Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Doxology and Benediction
O God of life, in whom we live
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
I
O God of life, in whom we live,
The bounties of Thy favour give,
And teach our souls to soar;
That, at the source of every good,
Our life may find its needful food,
And live for evermore.
II
O Lord of mercy, by whose grace
The sinner seeks the Father’s face,
And finds a welcome there;
When fears the trembling soul distress,
And sins the aching heart oppress,
O Lord of mercy, spare.
III
And say to Him who loves Thee best,
And sent Thee to a world distressed,
His blessing to impart,—
“Hear Thou the sinner’s mournful cries,
Accept his preferred sacrifice,
A broken, contrite heart.”
IV
Blest Spirit, who in holy flame,
At Pentecost all powerful came,—
Our sin-stained souls renew;
And by Thine all-consuming fire,
Consume our sin and vile desire,
And make us pure and true.
V
To God who dwells in highest heaven,
Be endless praise and glory given,—
And praise to Christ the Son.
And to the Holy Spirit blest,
For comfort and for gifts the best,—
Immortal Three in One.

O Glorious Hope of Perfect Love
Author: John Wesley; Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O glorious hope of perfect love!
It lifts me up to things above;
It bears on eagles’ wings.
It gives my ravished soul a taste,
And makes me for some moments feast
With Jesus’ priests and kings,
With Jesus’ priests and kings.
2. Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain top
See all the lands below.
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow,
In endless plenty grow.
3. A land of corn, and wine, and oil;
Favored with God’s peculiar smile,
With ev’ry blessing blest;
There dwells the Lord our Righteousness,
And keeps His own in perfect peace,
And everlasting rest,
And everlasting rest.
4. Oh, that I might at once go up;
No more on this side of Jordan stop,
But now the land possess;
This moment end my legal years,
Sorrows and sins, and doubts and fears,
A howling wilderness,
A howling wilderness! Used With Tune: ARIEL Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, by John and Charles Wesley, 1742

Thou Great Mysterious God Unknown

Whose love hath gently led me on,
E’en from my infant days,
Mine inmost soul expose to view,
And tell me if I ever knew
Thy justifying grace,
Thy justifying grace.
2. If I have only known Thy fear,
And followed, with a heart sincere,
Thy drawings from above,
Now, let the further grace bestow,
And let my sprinkled conscience know
Thy sweet forgiving love,
Thy sweet forgiving love.
3. Father, in me reveal Thy Son,
And to my inmost soul make known
How merciful Thou art;
The secret of Thy love reveal,
And by Thy hallowing Spirit dwell
Forever in my heart,
Forever in my heart!
4. If now the witness were in me,
Would He not testify of Thee,
In Jesus reconciled?
And should I not with faith draw nigh,
And boldly, Abba, Father, cry,
And know myself Thy child,
And know myself Thy child? Used With Tune: ARIEL Text Sources: Redemption Hymns, 1747
Thou Great Mysterious God Unknown
O could I speak the matchless worth
Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 740 hymnals Lyrics:
O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Savior shine,
I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings,
And vie with Gabriel while he sings
In notes almost divine.
I'd sing the characters he bears,
And all the forms of love he wears,
Exalted on his throne:
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all his glories known.
O the delightful day will come
When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see his face;
Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in his grace.

Thou God of Glorious Majesty
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou God of glorious majesty,
To Thee, against myself, to Thee,
A worm of earth, I cry;
A half-awakened child of man;
An heir of endless bliss or pain;
A sinner born to die!
2. Lo! on a narrow neck of land,
’Twixt two unbounded seas I stand,
Secure, insensible;
A point of time, a moment’s space,
Removes me to that heavenly place,
Or shuts me up in hell.
3. O God, mine inmost soul convert!
And deeply on my thoughtful heart
Eternal things impress:
Give me to feel their solemn weight,
And tremble on the brink of fate,
And wake to righteousness.
4. Before me place, in dread array,
The pomp of that tremendous day,
When Thou with clouds shalt come,
To judge the nations at Thy bar;
And tell me, Lord, shall I be there
To meet a joyful doom?
5. Be this my one great business here,
With serious industry and fear
Eternal bliss to ensure;
Thine utmost counsel to fulfill,
And suffer all Thy righteous will,
And to the end endure.
6. Then, Savior, then my soul receive,
Transported from this vale to live
And reign with Thee above;
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope in full supreme delight,
And everlasting love. Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
Thou God of Glorious Majesty
Behold, The Awful Day Comes On
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, the awful day comes on,
When Jesus on His righteous throne
Shall in the clouds appear:
With solemn pomp shall bow the sky,
And, in the twinkling of an eye,
Arraign us at His bar.
2 But first th’archangel’s trump shall blow,
Our scattered dust its voice shall know,
And quicken at the sound:
The sea shall then give up her dead:
And nations, starting from their bed,
Shall cleave the opening ground.
3 Who shall withstand His righteous ire,
When Jesus sets the clouds on fire,
And makes the earth retreat?
In vain shall sinners then repent.
When each expiring element,
Shall melt with fervent heat.
4 The dead in Christ shall first awake,
The faithful few, who, for His sake,
On earth were justified:
Guarded by a seraphic band,
Aloft they mount to His right hand,
In whom they lived and died.
5 See next the guilty crowd arise.
Beholding, with reluctant eyes,
The glories of the Lamb;
While taunting fiends impatient wait
To hurl them from the judgment seat,
To hell’s eternal flame.
6 Hark, as they mount, by devils borne,
To meet their judge (on earth their scorn)
Despairingly they cry,
"Fall on us, rocks, with all your load,
And screen us from the wrath of God,
And hide us from His eye."
7 In vain on rocks and hills ye call,
The rocks shall from their bases fall
And know their place no more:
The hills shall melt when God comes down,
And mountains crumble at His frown,
And groan beneath His power.
8 What thought can paint their black despair,
Who this tremendous sentence hear,
Irrevocably giv’n,
"Depart, ye cursed, into hell,
With everlasting burnings dwell,
Remote from Me and Heav’n?"
9 But, O Thou Savior of mankind,
Display Thy power, and to the blind
Effectual light afford:
Snatch them from unbelief and sin,
And now compel them to come in,
And tremble at Thy Word.
10 Methinks I hear Thy mercy plead,
The voice of Him that wakes the dead
Doth over sinners mourn:
“Why do ye still your God forget,
And madly hasten to the pit
From whence is no return?
11 "Ye reasoners, make a rational choice;
Listen, in time, to reason’s voice,
Nor dare almighty ire:
Turn, lest the hottest wrath ye feel,
And find, too late, the flames of hell
No metaphoric fire." Used With Tune: FRANCES Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems (London: Daniel Sedgwick and Hamilton & Adams, 1775)
