O Worship the King all glorious above
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 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 distills in the dew and the rain.
4 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!
5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,
whom angels delight to worship above!
Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,
in true adoration shall sing to your praise!

O Worship the King all glorious above
Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim
Author: Charles Wesley; Norton Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 668 hymnals First Line: Ye servants of God! Your Master proclaim Lyrics: 1 You servants of God, your Master proclaim,
and publish abroad his wonderful name;
the name all-victorious of Jesus extol;
his kingdom is glorious and rules over all.
2 God rules in the height, almighty to save;
though hid from our sight, his presence we have;
the great congregation his triumph shall sing,
ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.
3 "Salvation to God, who sits on the throne!"
let all cry aloud, and honor the Son;
the praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.
4 Then let us adore and give him his right:
all glory and power, all wisdom and might,
all honor and blessing with angels above
and thanks never ceasing for infinite love.

Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim
Though troubles assail, and dangers affright
Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 430 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Though troubles assail, and dangers affright,
Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide,
The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide."
2.
The birds, without barn or storehouse, are fed;
From them let us learn to trust for our bread:
His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied,
So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide."
3.
We may, like the ships, by tempests be tossed
On perilous deeps, but cannot be lost:
Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide,
The promise engages "The Lord will provide."
4.
When Satan appears to stop up our path,
And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith;
He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried,
The heart cheering promise, "The Lord will provide."
5.
His call we obey, like Abram of old,
Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold;
For though we are strangers, we have a good guide,
And trust, in all dangers, "The Lord will provide."
6.
He tells us we're weak--our hope is in vain,
The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain;
But when such suggestions our spirits have plied,
This answers all questions, "The Lord will provide"
7.
No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim;
Yet since we have known the Savior's great name,
In this our strong tower for safety we hide;
The Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide."
8.
When life sinks apace, and death is in view,
The word of his grace shall comfort us through:
Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side,
We hope to die shouting, "The Lord will provide."

a world without saints forgets how to praise.
Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer,
their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share.
2 Some march with events to turn them God's way;
some need to withdraw, the better to pray.
Some carry the gospel through fire and through flood;
our world is their parish; their purpose is God.
3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown,
who bear someone's cross or shoulder their own.
They shame our complaining, our comforts, our cares;
what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs!
4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days;
a world without saints forgets how to praise.
In loving, in living, they prove it is true:
the way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you.

My People, Give Ear, Attend to My Word
Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My people, give ear, attend to my word,
In parables new deep truths shall be heard;
The wonderful story our fathers made known
To children succeeding by us must be shown.
2 Unharmed through the sea, where perished their foe,
He caused them with ease and safety to go;
His holy land gaining, in peace they were brought
To dwell in the mountain the Lord’s hand had bought.
3 He gave them the land, a heritage fair;
The nations that dwelt in wickedness there
He drove out before them with great overthrow,
And gave to His people the tents of the foe.
4 Again they rebelled and tempted the Lord,
Unfaithful they turned to idols abhorred,
And God in His anger withdrew from them then,
No longer delighting to dwell among men.
5 He gave them to death in battle, although
His glory and strength were scorned by the foe;
Their young men were fallen, their maidens unwed,
Their priests slain in battle, none wept for the dead.
6 Then mercy awoke, the Lord in His might
Returned, and the foes were scattered in flight;
Again to His people His favor He showed,
And chose in Mount Zion to fix His abode.
7 His servant He called, a shepherd of sheep,
From tending his flock, the people to keep;
So David, their shepherd, with wisdom and might
Protected and fed them and led them aright. Topics: Disobedience; Ingratitude; Israel in Canaan; Judgment; Parents; Warning; Wrath Of God Scripture: Psalm 78 Used With Tune: HANOVER (CROFT)

You live in a palace, exist in a shack.
We see You, the gardener, a tree on Your back.
2 In millions alive, away and abroad;
Involved in our life You live down the road.
Imprisoned in systems, You long to be free.
We see You, Lord Jesus, still bearing Your tree.
3 We hear You, O Christ, in agony cry.
For freedom You march, in riots You die.
Your face in the papers we read and we see.
The tree must be planted by human decree.
4 You choose to be made at one with the earth;
The dark of the grave prepares for Your birth.
Your death is Your rising, creative Your word:
The tree springs to life and our hope is restored.

O Praise Ye The Lord, With Heart And With Voice
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O praise ye the Lord, with heart and with voice;
His mercies record, and round Him rejoice.
Ye children of Zion, your Savior adore;
And learn to rely on His grace evermore.
2 Repose on His arm, ye sheep of His fold.
What terror can harm with Him to uphold?
His saints are His treasure; their peace He will seek;
And pour without measure His gifts on the meek.
3 Go on in His might, ye men of the Lord:
His word be your light, His promise your sword.
The King of Salvation your foes will subdue;
And their degradation bring glory to you.

Rise, Children Of God
Author: D. Luther Roth Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Rise, children of God, a voice bids you rise Lyrics: 1 Rise, children of God, a voice bids you rise;
The voice of God calls to you from the skies;
Awaken to effort for Christ and His laws,
For Christ and His Gospel, for Christ and His cause.
2 The Spirit divine fills Heaven today,
Descending to earth, He calls you: Obey.
The nations are rolling as tide on our shores,
The Spirit says, "Win them, they wait at your doors."
3 O! Spirit of light, bring light to all hearts,
Fill all with the strength Thy presence imparts.
The voice of our leader we all must obey;
"Go forth, make disciples; there’s ever a way."
4 Lo! God will arise, and scatter the foe,
The strongholds of sin, and Satan o’erthrow.
Then forward in God’s name for Christ’s holy laws,
For Christ and His Gospel, for Christ and His cause. Used With Tune: ARNOS GROVE
