In praise of God meet duty and delight
Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81:1-3 Lyrics: 1 In praise of God meet duty and delight,
angels and creatures, flesh and spirits blest:
in praise is earth transfigured by the sound
and sight of heaven's everlasting feast.
2 The desert is refreshed by songs of praise,
relaxed the frown of pride, the stress of grief;
in praise forgotten all our human spite;
in praise the burdened heart finds sure relief.
3 In praise our art and craft together meet,
inspired, obedient, patient, practical;
in praise join instrument and voice and sound
to make one music for the Lord of all.
4 No skill of ours, no music made on earth,
no mortal song could scale the height of heaven;
yet stands that cross, through grace ineffable
the instrument of praise to sinners given.
5 So, confident and festive, let us sing
of wisdom, power and mercy there made known;
the song of Moses and the Lamb be ours,
through Christ raised up to life in God alone. Used With Tune: CLIFF TOWN
In praise of God meet duty and delight
When, in our music, God is glorified
Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81:1-3 Lyrics: 1 When, in our music, God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia!
2 How often, making music, we have found
a new dimension in the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!
3 So has the church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in every tongue,
Alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
when utmost evil strove against the Light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia!
5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia! Topics: Proper 15 Year B Used With Tune: ENGELBERG

Psalm 81
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81:1 First Line: Sing to the Lord aloud Lyrics:
Sing to the Lord aloud,
And make a joyful noise;
God is our strength, our Savior God;
Let Isr'el hear his voice.
"From vile idolatry
Preserve my worship clean;
I am the Lord, who set thee free
From slavery and sin.
"Stretch thy desires abroad,
And I'll supply them well:
But if ye will refuse your God,
If Isr'el will rebel;
"I'll leave them," saith the Lord,
"To their own lusts a prey,
And let them run the dang'rous road,
'Tis their own chosen way.
"Yet, O! that all my saints
Would hearken to my voice!
Soon I would ease their sore complaints,
And bid their hearts rejoice.
"While I destroy their foes,
I'd richly feed my flock;
And they should taste the stream that flows
From their eternal rock."

My spirit on Thy care
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 203 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81 Lyrics: 1 My spirit on Thy care,
Blest Saviour, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For Thou art Love divine.
2 In Thee I place my trust,
On Thee I calmly rest:
I know Thee good, I know Thee just,
And count Thy choice the best.
3 Whate'er events betide,
Thy will they all perform;
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
4 Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me;
Secure of having Thee in all,
Of having all in Thee. Topics: The Christian Life Trust; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL
My spirit on Thy care
Listen Peoples, While I Tell
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81 First Line: Listen, peoples, while I tell Lyrics: 1 Listen, peoples, while I tell
What an elder race befell;
Hearken to the solemn word,
Learn obedience to the Lord.
2 Israel, erst from bondage freed,
Chosen for a holy seed,
Blessed with an unerring code,
Worshipped one eternal God!
3 He their enemies subdued,
Hearts by boundless bounties wooed,
Fed them with the finest wheat,
Milk and honey, purest treat!
4 Oft as trouble raised its cry,
Still was their protector nigh;
From His secret place He came,
Swift to rescue, slow to blame.
5 Long His pity had endured,
Long their prosperous state secured;
Till, impatient of reproof,
Impious, they disowned His truth!
6 Then, abandoned to their lust,
Sold to selfishness and dust,
Soon a ’whelming tempest came;
Swept away their place and name. Used With Tune: GUIDE Text Sources: The Psalms, Newly Paraphrased for the Service of the Sanctuary by Jospeh P. Bartrum (Boston: Russell, Osborne, & Company, 1833)

Angel-voices ever singing
Author: Francis Pott, 1832-1909 Meter: 8.5.8.5.8.4.3 Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 81:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Angel-voices ever singing
round thy throne of light,
angel-harps for ever ringing,
rest not day nor night;
thousands only live to bless thee
and confess thee
Lord of might.
2 Thou who art beyond the farthest
mortal eye can scan,
can it be that thou regardest
songs of sinful man?
Can we know that thou art near us,
and wilt hear us?
Yea, we can.
3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest
o'er each work of thine;
thou didst ears and hands and voices
for thy praise design;
craftsman's art and music's measure
for thy pleasure
all combine.
4 In thy house, great God, we offer
of thine own to thee;
and for thine acceptance proffer
all unworthily
hearts and minds and hands and voices
in our choicest
psalmody.
5 Honour, glory, might, and merit
thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
blessèd Trinity.
Of the best that thou hast given
earth and heaven
render thee. Topics: Proper 15 Year B; Dedication Festival; St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES
