Give to our God immortal praise!
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 321 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:24 Lyrics: 1 Give to our God immortal praise!
Mercy and truth are all his ways,
Wonders of grace to God belong:
Repeat his mercies in your song.
2 Give to the Lord of lords renown;
The King of kings with glory crown.
His mercies ever shall endure,
When lords and kings are known no more:
3 He built the earth, he spread the sky,
And fixed the starry lights on high.
Wonders of grace to God belong:
Repeat his mercies in your song.
4 He fills the sun with morning light;
He bids the moon direct the night.
His mercies ever shall endure,
When suns and moons shall shine no more.
5 He sent his Son with power to save
From guilt and darkness and the grave.

Repeat his mercies in your songs. Topics: Attributes of God Mercy; Praise for Manifold Works

Glorious things are sung of Zion
Author: W. W. Phelps, 1792-1872 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:31-35 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of sung of Zion,
Enoch's city seen of old,
Where the righteous, being perfect,
Walked with God in streets of godl'
Love and virtue, faith and wisdeom
Grace and gifts were all combined;
As himself each loved his neighbor,
All were of one heart and mind.
2 Then the towers of Zion glittered
Like the sun in yonder sky,
And the wicked stood and trembled,
Filled with wonder and surprise.
Then their faith and works were prefect;
Lo, they followed their great head!
So the city went to heaven,
And the world said, "Zion's fled!"
3 When the Lord returns with Zion,
And they hear the watchmen cry,
Then the saints will be united,
And they'll all see eye to eye;
Then they'll mingle with the angels,
And the Lord will bless his own;
Then the earth will be as heaven;
They shall now as they are know.

God in His Love for Us

gave it a purpose in time and in space:
small as a spark form the fire of creation,
cradle of life and the home of our race.

life that sustains us in body and mind:
plenty for all, if we learn how to share it,

long has earth bowed to the terror of force;
long have we wasted what others have need of,
poisoned the fountain of life at its source.
4 Earth is the Lord's: it is ours to enjoy it,
ours, as his stewards, to farm and defend.
From its pollution, misuse, and destruction,
good Lord, deliver us, world with-out end! Used With Tune: MORNING STAR

God's holy law, transgressed
Author: Beddome Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 85 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:12 Lyrics: 1 God's holy law, transgressed,
Speaks nothing but despair;
Burdened with guilt, with grief oppressed,

Nor works which we have done,
Nor vows, nor promises, nor prayers,
Can e'er for sin atone.

In Jesus' precious blood:
'Tis this that heals the mortal wound,
And reconciles to God.
4 High lifted on the cross,
The spotless victim dies:
This is salvation's only source,
Hence all our hopes arise. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings; None Other Name under Heaven
