The God of Abraham Praise
Author: Thomas Olivers Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 454 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:7-22 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise,
who reigns enthroned above,
the Ancient of eternal days,
the God of love!
The Lord, the great I AM,
by earth and heaven confessed
we bow before his holy name
forever blest.
2 He by his name has sworn,
on this we shall depend,
and as on eagles' wings upborne
to heaven ascend.
There we shall see his face,
his power we shall adore
and sing the wonders of his grace
forevermore.
3 The goodly land I see,
with peace and plenty blest,
a land of sacred liberty
and endless rest.
There milk and honey flow,
and oil and wine abound;
the tree of life forever grows
with mercy crowned.
4 There rules the Lord our King,
the Lord our Righteousness,
victorious over death and sin,
the Prince of Peace.
On Zion's sacred height
his kingdom he maintains,
and glorious with his saints in light
forever reigns.
5 Triumphant hosts on high
give thanks to God and sing,
and "Holy, holy, holy" cry,
"Almighty King!"
Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
One mighty hymn we raise.
All power and majesty be yours
and endless praise!

Author: Robert Grant (1779-1838) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,139 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:13 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 splendour and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
his chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, thy power hath founded of old;
hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Thy 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.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend!
5 O measureless might, ineffable love!
While angels delight to hymn thee above,
the humbler creation, in lowlier ways,
with true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Topics: God in majesty; Providence Used With Tune: HANOVER

Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all life Thou givest--to both great and small--
In all life Thou livest, the true Life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree
And wither and perish--but naught changes Thee.

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render: O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light that hides Thee.

The loving God who gave the law;

The steeds and chariots of flame.

Delivered from the lion's might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah’s name.

Return in fast and prayer to you.

And give us joy to see your face. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Lenten Season; Transfiguration of the Lord August 6th; Fasting; Grace; Jesus Christ; Petition, Prayer; Strength Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

Of days when war shall cease,
When hatred and division
Give way to love and peace,

and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save:
his glories now we sing
who died, and rose on high;
who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
5 Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease
absorbed in prayer and praise:
his reign shall know no end,
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
6 Crown him the Lord of years,
the Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
majestic and sublime:
all hail, Redeemer, hail!
for you have died for me;
your praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.

splendour bathes the flesh-joined Word,

Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the law and prophets meet:
Christ, with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.

fearful lest our faith decline,
we like Peter find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless. Topics: Transfiguration Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN

The Advent of Our King
Author: Charles Coffin; Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:13 Lyrics: 1 The advent of our King
Our thoughts must now employ;
Then let us meet him on the road
With songs of holy joy.
2 The co-eternal Son
A maiden's offspring see;
A servant's form Christ putteth on,
To set his people free.
3 Daughter of Sion rise
To greet thine infant King;
Nor let thy stubborn heart despise
The pardon he doth bring.
4 In glory from his throne
Again will Christ descend,
And summon all who are his own
To joys that never end.
5 Let deeds of darkness fly
Before the approaching morn,
For unto sin 'tis ours to die
And serve the Virgin-born.
6 Our joyful praises sing
To Christ, who set us free;
Like tribute to the Father bring,
And Holy Ghost, to thee. Topics: The Liturgical Year Advent (Sundays and Weekdays) Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS (WILLIAMS) Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1736

Hail the patriarch’s glad reign,
Spreading over sea and main.

Rolls its burning wheels along!
Raise aloft your voices million
In a torrent pow’r of song.
Hail our head with music soft!
Raise sweet melodies aloft!

Glorious by great Michael’s side,
Take thy children’s adoration;
Endless with thy seed abide.
Lo! to greet thee now advance
Thousands in the glorious dance!

Like old ocean’s roaring swell,
Till the mighty acclamation
Thru rebounding space doth tell
That the ancient one doth reign
In his Father’s house again! Topics: Millennium; Restoration Used With Tune: JULIE

And humbly wait the coming day,
Which crowns the perfect Son.
