Let every creature join

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let every creature join To bless Jehovah's name, And every power unite.. To swell th'exalted theme; Let nature raise, From every tongue, A general song Of grateful praise. 2 But oh, from human tongues Should nobler praises flow, And every thankful heart With warm devotion glow: Your voices raise, Ye highly blest; Above the rest Declare His praise. 3 Assist me, gracious God; My heart, my voice inspire; Then shall I humbly join the universal choir; Thy grace can raise My heart and tongue, And tune my song To lively praise.

O LORD, You Are My Light

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O LORD, you are my light and my salvation near; then who will cause me fright or fill my heart with fear? While God my strength, my life sustains, secure from fear my soul remains. 2 My one request has been and still this prayer I raise: that I may live within God's house for all my days, God's glorious beauty to admire, and in his temple to inquire. 3 When troubles round me swell, when fears and dangers throng, securely I will dwell in his pavilion strong. Within the shelter of his tent he hides me till the storm is spent. 4 Uplifted on a rock above my foes around, amid the battle shock my song shall still resound. Then joyful offerings I will bring; the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing.

Ye virgin souls, arise, With all the dead awake Unto salvation wise, Oil in your vessels take; Upstarting at the midnight cry, Behold the heavenly Bridegroom nigh! 2. He comes, He comes, to call The nations to His bar, And raise to glory all Who fit for glory are; Made ready for your full reward, Go forth with joy to meet your Lord. 3. Go, meet Him in the sky, Your everlasting friend; Your head to glorify, With all His saints ascend; Ye pure in heart, obtain the grace To see, without a veil, His face! 4. Ye that have here received The unction from above, And in His Spirit lived, Obedient to His love, Jesus shall claim you for His bride: Rejoice with all the sanctified! 5. The everlasting doors Shall soon the saints receive, Above yon angel powers In glorious joy to live; Far from a world of grief and sin, With God eternally shut in. 6. Then let us wait to hear The trumpet’s welcome sound; To see our Lord appear, Watching let us be found; When Jesus doth the heavens bow, Be found—as, Lord, Thou find’st us now!
