The mighty God, the Lord

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 Lyrics: 1 The mighty God, the Lord, speaks, and to earth doth call even from the rising of the sun to where he hath his fall. 2 From out of Zion hill, where beauty dwells enshrined, God in his glorious majesty and mighty power hath shined. 3 Our God shall surely come, keep silence shall not he: before him fire shall waste, great storms shall round about him be. 4 Unto the heavens above he shall send forth his call, and likewise to the earth, that he may judge his people all. 5 Together let my saints unto me gathered be, those that by sacrifice have made a covenant with me. 6 And then the heavens shall his righteousness declare: because the Lord himself is he by whom men judged are. 7 My people Israel, hear: speak will I from on high; against thee I will testify; God, even thy God, am I. 8 I for thy sacrifice no blame will on thee lay: nor for burnt-offerings, which to me thou offeredst every day. 9 I’ll take no calf nor goats from house or fold of thine: 10 beasts of the forest, cattle all on thousand hills, are mine. 11 The fowls on mountains high are all to me well known; wild beasts which in the fields do lie, even they are all mine own. 12 Then, if I hungry were, I would not tell it thee; because the world, and fulness all thereof, belongs to me. 13 Will I eat flesh of bulls? Or goats’ blood drink will I? 14 Thanks offer thou to God, and pay thy vows to the Most High. 15 And call upon me when in trouble thou shalt be; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glory give to me. 16 But to the wicked man God saith, Why dost thou dare my covenant in thy mouth to take, my statutes to declare? 17 Yet thou instruction wise perversely hated hast, likewise my words behind thy back thou in contempt dost cast. 18 Thou didst to him consent, when thou a thief hast seen; and with the vile adulterers thou hast partaker been. 19 Thou giv’st thy mouth to ill, thy tongue deceit doth frame; 20 thou sitt’st, and ‘gainst thy brother speak’st; thy mother’s son dost shame. 21 Because I silence kept, while thou these things hast wrought; that I was altogether like thyself hath been thy thought: Yet I will thee reprove, and set before thine eyes, arrayed in order, thy misdeeds, and thine iniquities. 22 Now, ye that God forget, consider this with care; lest I, when there is none to save, do you in pieces tear. 23 He doth me glorify who offers to me praise; and him I'll God’s salvation show that orders right his ways.

Come, ye disconsolate! where'er ye languish

Author: Moore Appears in 1,051 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:15 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate! where'er ye languish, Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not cure. 3 Here see the bread of life: see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above: Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing, Earth has no sorrow, but heaven can remove.

Brightest and Best

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 911 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:7-15 First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid. Star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining; low lies his head with the beasts of the stall. Angels adore him in slumber reclining, maker and monarch and Savior of all. 3 Shall we yield him in costly devotion rarest of fragrances, tribute divine, gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts would his favor secure. Richer by far is the heart's adoration, dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid. Star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA
