Give thanks to God, invoke his name

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: Give thanks to God, invoke his name, and tell the world his grace; sound through the earth his deeds of fame, that all may seek his face. Let God alone choose out our way and mark our journeys right, and give a leading cloud by day, a fiery guide by night. God blessed the race of Abraham, and made the blessing sure. The endless mercies of the Lamb shall prove that grace endures. Then let the world give up its rage, nor put a church in fear; let lives be lived through every age in the Almighty's care.

Amen.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105:39-41 First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God. He, whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name. Fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know.

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure thy children's warring madness, bend our pride to thy control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss thy kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places, gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christlike graces in the fight till all be free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not earth nor thee. Topics: Proper 12 Year A; Proper 20 Year B; Second Sunday Before Advent Year C Used With Tune: WEBBE'S ST THOMAS

Give praises unto God the Lord

Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 Give praises unto God the Lord, and call upon his Name, Among the people all declare his works to spread his fame: 2 Sing joyfully unto the Lord, yea, sing unto him praise; and talk of all his wondrous works, that he hath wrought always. 3 In honour of his holy Name rejoice with one accord, And let the heart also be glad of them, that seek the Lord. 4 Seek ye the Lord, and seek the strength of his eternal might, Yea, seek his face incessantly, and presence of his sight. 5 The wond'rous works which he hath done, keep still in mindful heart; Let not the judgments of his mouth out of your mind depart, 6 Ye that of faithful Abraham his servant are the seed, Ye his elect, the children that of Jacob do proceed. 7 For why? 'tis he alone that is the mighty Lord our God, And his most righteous judgments are in all the earth abroad. 8 His promise and his covenant, which he hath made to his, He hath remember'd evermore to thousands of degrees. The Second Part. 9 The covenant, which he hath made with Abraham long ago, And faithful oath, which he hath sworn to Isaac also: 10 And did appoint it for a law, that Jacob should obey, And for eternal covenant to Israel alway. 11 When this he said, Lo, I to you all Canaan land will give, The lot of your inheritance, wherein your seed shall live: 12 Although their number at that time did very small appear; Yea, very small, and in the land they then but strangers were: 13 While yet they went from land to land without a sure abode; And while from sundry kingdoms they did wander all abroad: 14 Yet wrong at no oppressor's hands he suffer'd them to take; But even great and mighty kings reproved for their sake. 15 And thus he said, Touch ye not them that mine anointed be, Nor do the prophets any harm that do pertain to me. 16 He call'd a dearth upon the land, of bread destroy'd the store; But yet against the time of need did send a man before; The Third Part. 17 Ev'n Joseph, who had once been sold to live a slave in wo; Whose feet they hurt in stocks, whose soul the iron pierc'd into: 18 Until the time came, when his cause was known apparently, The mighty word of God the Lord his innocence did try. 19 The king sent and deliver'd him from prison where he was, The ruler of the people then did freely let him pass; 20 And over all his house he made him lord, to bear the sway, And of his substance made him have the rule and all the stay: 21 That he might to his will instruct the princes of the land, And wisdom teach his senators rightly to understand. 22 Then into the Egyptian land came Israel also, And Jacob in the land of Ham did sojourn to and fro. 23 His people he exceedingly in numbers made to grow, And stronger than their enemies, who sought their overthrow: 24 Whose heart he turned, that with hate they did his people treat; And did his servants wrongfully abuse with base deceit. The Fourth Part. 25 His faithful servant Moses then, and Aaron whom he chose, He did command to go to them his message to disclose. 26 His wonderful and mighty signs among them they did show, And wonders in the land of Ham then did they work also: 27 Darkness he sent and made it dark instead of brighter day; And his commission and his word they did not disobey: 28 He turn'd their waters into blood, their fish also did slay; Their land brought frogs ev'n in the place, where their king Pharaoh lay; 29 He spake, and at his voice there came great swarms of noisome flies; And all the quarters of their land were fill'd with crawling lice. 30 He gave them cold and stony hail instead of milder rain; And fiery flames within their land he sent unto their pain: 31 He smote their vines, and all their trees, whereon the figs did grow; And all the trees within their coasts also did overthrow, 32 He spake, then caterpillars did and grasshoppers abound, Eating the grass in all their land and fruit of all their ground: The Fifth Part. 33 The first-begotten in their land, with death did likewise smite, Yea, the beginning and first-fruit of all their strength and might. 34 With gold and silver caused his from Egypt's land to pass, And in the number of their tribes no feeble one there was. 35 Egypt was glad and joyful then when they did thence depart; For terror and the fear of them was fall'n upon their heart: 36 To shroud them from the parching heat a cloud he did display; And fire he sent to give them light, when night had hid the day. 37 They asked, and he called quails to rain at their request, And fully with the bread of heav'n their hunger he represt: 38 He opened the stony rock, and waters gushed out; Also the dry and parched ground like rivers ran about. 39 For of his holy cov'nant he was mindful evermore, Which to his servant Abraham he plighted long before. 40 He brought his people forth with mirth, and his elect with joy, Out of the cruel land where they had liv'd in great annoy. 41 And of the heathen men he gave to them the fruitful lands; The labours of the people did they take into their hands: 42 That they his holy statutes might observe for evermore, And faithfully obey his laws; Praise ye the Lord therefore.
