The God of Abraham Praise
Author: Thomas Olivers Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 454 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise, who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting days, and God of love.
Jehovah, great I AM, by earth and heaven confessed:
we bow and bless the sacred name, forever blest.
2 He by himself hath sworn, we on his oath depend;
we shall on eagles' wings upborne, to heaven ascend;
we shall behold his face, we shall his power adore,
and sing the wonders of his grace forevermore.
3 The God who reigns on high the great archangels sing,
and “Holy, holy, holy!” cry, “Almighty King!
Who wast and art the same, and evermore shall be:
eternal Father, great I AM, we worship thee.”
4 The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high,
“Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!” they ever cry.
Hail, Abraham’s God and mine! With heaven our songs we raise;
all might and majesty are thine, and endless praise.

Praise to the Living God!
Author: M. Landsberg; N. Mann Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise to the living God!
All praised be his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
for aye the same.
The one eternal God
ere aught that now appears:
the first, the last, beyond all thought
his timeless years.
2 Formless, all lovely forms
declare his loveliness:
holy, no holiness of earth
can his express.
Lo, he is Lord of all;
creation speaks his praise,
and ev'rywhere above, below,
his will obeys.
3 His Spirit floweth free,
high surging where it will:
in prophet's word he spake of old;
he speaketh still.
Established is his law,
and changeless it shall stand,
deep written on the human heart,
on sea, on land.
4 Eternal life hath he
implanted in the soul;
his love shall be our strength and stay
while ages roll.
Praise to the living God!
All praised be his name
who was, and is, and is to be,
for aye the same. Topics: God Eternity and Power; In The Beginning Creator of Heaven and Earth Scripture: Mark 14:32 Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Yigdal: Jewish hymn of praise

God Is My Great Desire
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is my great desire,
his face I seek the first;
to him my heart and soul aspire,
for him I thirst.
As one in desert lands,
whose very flesh is flame,
in burning love I lift my hands
and bless his name.
2 God is my true delight,
my richest feast his praise,
through silent watches of the night,
through all my days.
To him my spirit clings,
on him my soul is cast;
beneath the shadow of his wings
he holds me fast.
3 God is my strong defense
in every evil hour;
in him I face with confidence
the tempter's power.
I trust his mercy sure
with truth and triumph crowned:
my hope and joy forevermore
in him are found. Topics: God Hope; Adoration of God; God Hope; God Mercy; God Names of; God Redeemer; Psalms; Temptation; Spiritual Thirst Scripture: Psalm 63 Used With Tune: LEONI

Shine Thou upon Us, Lord
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Shine Thou upon us, Lord,
true light of men, today,
And through the written Word
Thy very self display,
That so from hearts which burn
with gazing on Thy face
Thy little ones may learn
the wonders of Thy grace.
2. Breathe Thou upon us, Lord,
Thy Spirit’s living flame,
That so with one accord
our lips may tell Thy name.
Give Thou the hearing ear,
fix Thou the wandering thought,
That those we teach may hear
the great things Thou hast wrought.
3. Speak Thou for us, O Lord,
in all we say of Thee;
According to Thy Word
let all our teaching be,
That so Thy lambs may know
their own true Shepherd’s voice,
Where’er He leads them go,
and in His love rejoice.
4. Live Thou within us, Lord,
Thy mind and will be ours;
Be Thou beloved, adored,
and served with all our powers,
That so our lives may teach
Thy children what Thou art,
And plead, by more than speech,
for Thee with every heart. Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889

Community of Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ,
who make the cross your own,
live out your creed and risk your life
for God alone:
the God who wears your face,
to whom all worlds belong,
whose children are of every race
and every song.
2 Community of Christ,
look past the church's door
and see the refugee, the hungry,
and the poor.
Take hands with the oppressed,
the jobless in your street,
take towel and water, that you wash
your neighbor's feet.
3 Community of Christ,
through whom the word must sound --
cry out for justice and for peace
the whole world round:
disarm the powers that war
and all that can destroy,
turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish
into joy.
4 When menace melts away,
so shall God's will be done,
the climate of the world be peace
and Christ its sun;
our currency be love
and kindliness our law,
our food and faith be shared as one
for evermore. Topics: God's World Justice and Righteousness; Church; Dignity and Equality; God: Righteousness; Justice; Righteousness; Hunger Used With Tune: LEONI
