Sing praise to God who reigns above

Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; John Jacob Schuetz Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above, The God of all creation, The God of power, the God of love, The God of our salvation. With healing balm my soul He fills, And every faithless murmur stills; To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and sky all living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore the wisdom which could span, And power which formed Creation's plan; To God all praise and glory! 3 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Saviour saw my helplessness, And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! To God all praise and glory! 4 Thus all my gladsome way along, I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises: Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory! Topics: Worship Praise and Thanksgiving; Fourth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: ES IST DAS HEIL UNS KOMMEN HER

Wenn ich, o Schöpfer! deine macht

Author: C. F. Gellert Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Wenn ich, o Schöpfer! deine macht, Die weisheit deiner wege, Die liebe, die für alle wacht, Anbetend überlege: So weiß ich, von bewumd’rung voll, Nicht wie ich dich erheben soll, Mein Gott, mein Herr und Vater! 2. Mein auge sieht, wohin es blickt, Die wunder deiner werke. Der himmel, prächtig ausgeschmückt, Preis’t dich, du Gott der stärke! Wer hat die sonn’ an ihm erhöht? Wer kleidet sie mit majestät? Wer ruft dem heer der sterne? 3. Wer mißt dem winde seinen lauf? Wer heißt die himmel regnen? Wer schließt den schoss der erde auf, Mit vorrath uns zu segnen? O Gott der macht und herrlichkeit! Gott, deine güte reicht so weit, So weit die wolken reichen. 4. Dich predigt sonnenschein und sturm! Dich preis’t der sand am meere. Bringt, ruft auch der geringste wurm, Bringt meinem Schöpfer ehre! Mich, ruft der baum in seiner pracht, Mich, ruft die saat, hat Gott gemacht: Bringt unserm Schöpfer ehre! 5. Der mensch, ein leid, den deine hand So wunderbar bereitet; Der mensch, ein geist, den sein verstand, Dich zu erkennen, leitet: Der mensch, der schöpfung ruhm und preis, Ist sich ein täglicher beweis Von deiner güt’ und größe. 6. Erheb’ ihn ewig, o mein geist, Erhebe seinen namen! Gott, unser Vater, sei gepreis’t, Und alle welt sag’ Amen! Und alle welt fürcht’ ihren Herrn, Und hoff’ auf ihn und dien’ ihm gern! Wer wollte Gott nicht dienen! Used With Tune: Es ist das Heil uns etc.

Our whole Salvation doth depend

Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: I. Our whole Salvation doth depend On God's free Grace and Spirit; all our good Works can ne'er defend A Boast upon our Merit Derived is our Righteousness From Christ and his attoning Grace; He is our Mediator. II. What God commanded in the Law Was far beyond our Doing: There sinful Nature Nothing saw But hopeless Death and Ruin. The fiery Mount spreads black Despair: There's no Reprieve nor Pardon there For us Apostate-Wretches. III. Who can maintain the bold Conceit, That poor Mankind was able T'observe by Means of Nat'ral Light, The first and second Table? The LAW reveals the Root of Sin, Which lay before conceal'd within, With all its hellish Branches. IV. No! t'was beyond all human Art To purge that deep Pollution; All Means to move the poison'd Dart Confirm'd the foul Difusion. The Lord a feigned Work abhors; Mere Flesh increases but the Curse Of our intail'd Corruption. V. The LAW cried, Justice must be done, Or Men doom'd to Damnation: But Mercy sent th'eternal Son, Who purchas'd our Salvation, Fulfill'd the LAW in its Extent, And gave its Wrath a thorough Vent, To pass the Sons of ADAM. VI. Thus having all the LAW fulfill'd Through CHRIST'S blest Cross and Passion, He's now the Rock, whereon we build Our Faith and whole Salvation. We call him Lord, our Righteousness, Whose Death has purchas'd Life and Grace, And ransom'd us for ever. VII. My Faith avoids all Doubt and Fear; Thy Word can ne'er deceive me; Thou say'st no Sinner shall despair, None perish who believes Thee. Who rests on God, and is baptiz'd, Is surely the Redeem'd by CHRIST, And 'scapes eternal Torment. VIII. The Man that bears the Faith that shines In Works of christian Merit, Is justified, and bears the Signs Of a confessing Spirit. A living Faith's what God regards, His Love doth Good without Rewards. Art thou new born in Spirit? IX. The LAW reveals sins Sinfulness. Inhancing th' Accusation, The Gospel tenders saving Grace For Sinners Consolation; Bids all lay hold on JESU"S Cross; The LAW could ne'er retrieve our Loss, With all its best Performance. X. True genuine Gospel-Works denote A Faith of God's inspiring. That Faith is vain, which is remote And from Good Works retiring. Yet Faith alone's what justifies, The Love t'our Neighbour well implies, We are sincere Believers. XI. The living Hope with Patience waits God's promis'd Consolation, Takes all the Turns of Ease and Streights With Christian Resignation. God knows the Time for our Relief, T'asswage our greatest Pain and Grief, In him we have Affiance. XII. Be not cast down, when he delays To crown thine Expectation; He then is nearest, when thy Ways Seem full of Desolation; On his eternal Word rely, E'en tho' thy war'ving Heart deny, And trust in thy Redeemer. XIII. To Father, Son and Holy Ghost Immortal Praise be given; Whose Passion to restore Men lost Is all the Song of heaven. May JEWS and all the Gentile-Race Soon call Thee Lord their Righteousness: Thy Name be ever ahllow'd. XIV. Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done As 'tis by Saints in Glory; With daily Bread our Tables crown; Forgive our Sins before Thee, As we forgive our Debtors here: Let no Temptation breed Despair: From Ill redeem us, Amen.
