Angel Voices, Ever Singing
Author: Francis Pott Meter: 8.5.8.5.8.7 Appears in 378 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:23 Lyrics: 1 Angel voices, ever singing
Round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps, forever ringing,
Rest not day nor night;
Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And confess Thee Lord of might.
2 Lord, we know Thy love rejoices
O'er each work of Thine;
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise combine;
Craftsman's art and music's measure
For Thy pleasure didst design.
3 Here, great God, today we offer
Of Thine own to Thee;
And for Thine acceptance proffer,
All unworthily,
Hearts and minds, and hands and voices,
In our choicest melody.
4 Honor, glory, might, and merit,
Thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity:
Of the best that Thou hast given
Earth and heaven render Thee.
Amen. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise; Adoration and Praise; Dedication Services Of a Church; Installations Pastor; Installations Minister of Music; Trinity, The Holy Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES

And pray, and pray again.

Your Hand, O Lord, in Days of Old
Author: Edward H. Plumptre, 1821-1891 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:15 Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O Lord, in days of old
was strong to heal and save;
it triumphed over pain and death,
o'er darkness and the grave.
To you they came, the blind, the mute,
the paralyzed and lame,
the lepers in their misery,
the sick with fevered frame.
2 Your touch then, Lord, brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed and frenzy calmed
revealed you, Lord of light.
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty as before,
in crowded street, by beds of pain,
as by Gennes'ret's shore.
3 O be our great deliv'rer still,
the Lord of life and death;
restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
with your life-giving breath.
To hands that work and eyes that see
give wisdom's healing pow'r
that whole and sick and weak and strong
may praise you evermore. Topics: Society Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW

How large the promise, how divine
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:23 Lyrics:
How large the promise, how divine,
To Abram and his seed!
"I'll be a God to thee and thine,
Supplying all their need."
The words of his extensive love
From age to age endure;
The Angel of the cov'nant proves,
And seals the blessing sure.
Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
To our great fathers giv'n;
He takes young children to his arms,
And calls them heirs of heav'n.
Our God, how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the children's name.

while thou dost thy people feed.
Here of life the fountain flows;
here is balm for all our woes.

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 144 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on his shrine.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the name that is dear;
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him; the Lord is his name! Topics: Epiphany (feast); Gathering of the Community; Offertory; Praise of God Used With Tune: ÜTTINGEN (WAS LEBET)
