Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord who reigns above and keeps his court below; praise the holy God of love and all his greatness show; praise him for his noble deeds; praise him for his matchless power; him from whom all good proceeds let earth and heaven adore. 2 Celebrate th’eternal God with harp and psaltery, timbrels soft and cymbals loud in this high praise agree; praise him, every tuneful string; all the reach of heavenly art, all the powers of music bring, the music of the heart. 3 God, in whom they move and live, let every creature sing, glory to their Maker give, and homage to their King. Hallowed be his name beneath, as in heaven on earth adored; praise the Lord in every breath, let all things praise the Lord.

To the Hills I Lift My Eyes

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To the hills I lift my eyes, the everlasting hills. Streaming forth in fresh supplies, my soul the Spirit feels; will he not his help afford? Help, while yet I ask, is giv'n; God comes down, the God and Lord who made both earth and heav'n. 2 Faithful soul, pray, always pray, and still in God confide; he your stumbling steps shall stay, and shall not let you slide; safe from known or secret roes, free from sin and Satan's hold, when the flesh, earth, hell oppose, he'll keep you in his fold. 3 See the Lord, your keeper, stand omnipotently near. Now he holds you by the hand, and banishes your fear; shadows with his wings your head, guards from all impending harms; round you and beneath are spread the everlasting arms. 4 Christ shall bless your going out, shall bless your coming in; kindly compass you about, till you are saved from sin. Like your spotless Master, you, filled with wisdom, love, and pow'r, holy, pure, and perfect now, both now and evermore.

O the Depth of Love Divine

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O the depth of love divine, the unfathomable grace! Who shall say how bread and wine God into us conveys! How the bread his flesh imparts, how the wine transmits his blood, fills his faithful people’s hearts with all the life of God! 2 Let the wisest mortals show how we the grace receive; feeble elements bestow a power not theirs to give. Who explains the wondrous way, how through these the virtue came? These the virtue did convey, yet still remain the same. 3 How can spirits heavenward rise, by earthly matter fed, drink herewith divine supplies and eat immortal bread? Ask the Father’s wisdom how: Christ who did the means ordain; angels round our altars bow to search it out, in vain. 4 Sure and real is the grace, the manner be unknown; only meet us in thy ways and perfect us in one. Let us taste the heavenly powers, Lord, we ask for nothing more. Thine to bless, ’tis only ours to wonder and adore.

By his word and Spirit led, we will follow Jesus. Still for us he lives to plead, at the throne doth intercede, offers help in time of need; we will follow Jesus. 2 Should the world and sin oppose, we will follow Jesus. He is greater than our foes; we will follow Jesus. On his promise we depend; he will hear us and defend, help and keep us to the end; we will follow Jesus. 3 Though the way may dark appear, we will follow Jesus. He will make our pathway clear; we will follow Jesus. In our daily round of care, as we plead with God in prayer, with the cross which we must bear, we will follow Jesus. 4 Ever keep that end in view; we will follow Jesus. All his promises are true; we will follow Jesus. When this earthly course is run, and the Master says, "Well done!" life eternal we have won; we will follow Jesus.
