Praise to God, immortal praise

Author: Anna Laetitia Barbauld Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 600 hymnals Lyrics: Praise to God, immortal praise, For the love that crowns our days; Bounteous source of every joy, Let thy praise our tongues employ: All to thee, our God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow. All the plenty summer pours; Autumn's rich o'erflowing stores; Flocks that whiten all the plain; Yellow sheaves of ripened grain: Lord, for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. Peace, prosperity, and health, Private bliss, and public wealth, Knowledge with its gladdening streams, Pure religion's holier beams: Lord, for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. As thy prospering hand hath blest, May we give thee of our best; And by deeds of kindly love For thy mercies grateful prove; Singing thus through all our days, Praise to God, immortal praise. Amen.

As with Gladness Men of Old

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 636 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most glorious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin’s alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

Chief of sinners tho' I be

Author: William McComb Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners tho' I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 O the hight of Jesus' love! Higher than the heavens above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting to eternity; Love that found me, wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiven; Joy that lifts the soul to heaven; Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own. Safe with Him from earthly strife He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior! help afford, By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die.

Let Us Go To Bethlehem

Author: Mrs. B. L. Corbin Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us go to Bethlehem; There the King of Glory lies! He has left His diadem, And His throne beyond the skies! He, the Lord of endless years, Now a feeble babe appears. 2 Let us go to Bethlehem: God descends with men to dwell! And He comes not to condemn, But to save from sin and hell: Oh, what rich and boundless grace, To our lost and guilty race! 3 Let us go to Bethlehem: Eastern magi worship there; Let us strive to rival them, With the incense of our prayer; And our hearts, as offerings bring, To the glorious new-born King.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts, eternal King, By the heavens and earth adored! Angels and archangels sing, Chanting everlastingly To the blessèd Trinity. 2.

Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, Spirits blest, before Thy throne, Speeding thence at Thy command, And, when Thy behests are done, Singing everlastingly To the blessèd Trinity. 4.
