Praise

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 144 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 66:8-9 First Line: Hosanna to the Prince of light Lyrics: 1 Hosanna to the Prince of light, That cloth'd himself in clay; Enter'd the iron gates of death, And tore the bars away. 2 Death is no more the king of dread, Since our Immanuel rose; He took the tyrant's sting away, And spoil'd our hellish foes. 3 See how the conq'ror mounts aloft, And to his Father flies, With scars of honuor in his flesh, And triumph in his eyes. 4 There our exalted Savior reigns, And scatters blessings down; Our Jesus fills the middle seat Of the celestial throne. 5 Raise your devotion, mortal tongues, To reach his blest abode, Sweet be the accents of your songs To our incarnate God. 6 Bright angels, strike your loudest strings, Your sweetest voices raise; Let heav'n and all created things. Sound our Immanuel's praise. Topics: The Resurrection of Christ, who arose for our Justification

And in submissive silence learn The lessons of thy rod. 5 Through every period of my life, Each bright, each clouded scene, Give me a meek and humble mind, Still equal and serene. 6 Then may I close my eyes in death, Redeemed from anxious fear; For death itself, my God, is life, If thou art with me there.

While Yet the Morn is Breaking

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Mühlmann Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 66:3 Lyrics: 1 While yet the morn is breaking, I thank my God once more, Beneath whose care awaking, I find the night is o'er. I thank Him that He calls me To life and health anew, I know, whate'er befalls me, His care will still be true. 2 O Israel's Guardian, hear me, Watch over me this day; In all I do be near me, For others, too, I pray; To Thee I would commend them, Our Church, our youth, our land, Direct them and defend them When dangers are at hand. 3 O gracious Lord, direct us, Thy doctrine pure defend, From heresies protect us, And for Thy Word contend, That we may praise Thee ever, O God, with one accord, And say: The Lord, our Savior, Be evermore adored. 4 Oh, grant us peace and gladness, Give us our daily bread, Shield us from grief and sadness, On us Thy blessings shed. Grant that our whole behavior, In truth and righteousness, May praise Thee, Lord, our Savior, Whose holy name we bless. 5 And gently grant Thy blessing, That we may do Thy will, No more Thy ways transgressing, Our proper task fulfil, With Peter's full assurance Let down our nets again. Success will crown endurance If faithful we remain. 6 Thou art the Vine--oh, nourish The branches graft in Thee, And let them grow and flourish, A fair and fruitful tree. Thy Spirit pour within us And let His gifts of grace To such good actions win us As best may show Thy praise. Amen.
