The Power of God
Author: Burnham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: God is my everlasting King Lyrics: 1 God is my everlasting King;
God is my Strength, and I will sing;
His power upholds my feeble frame,
And I’m victorious through his name.
2 Devils retreat when he appears;
Then I arise above my fears,
And every fiery dart repel,
And vanquish all the force of hell.
3 Through the Redeemer’s precious blood,
I feel the mighty power of God;
Through the rich aid divinely given,
I rise from earth, and soar to heaven.
4 [Dear Lord, thy weaker saints inspire,
And fill them with celestial fire;
On thy kind arm may they rely,
And all their foes shall surely fly.]
5 Now, Lord, thy wondrous power exert,
And every ransomed soul support;
Give us fresh strength to wing our way
To regions of eternal day.
6 [There may we praise the great I AM,
And shout the victories of the Lamb;
Raise every chorus to his blood,
And triumph in the power of God.]
The Power of God
O Worship the King
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,200 hymnals Topics: God His perfections; God Majesty of; Worship; Church In the Old Dispensation; God Defender; Heaven Worship in ; God in Nature First Line: O Worship the King all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his pow'r and his love;
our shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your pow'r has founded of old;
has 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air; it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills; it descends to the plain;
and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail;
your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!
6 O measureless Might! Ineffable Love!
While angels delight to hymn you above,
the humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
with true adoration shall lisp to your praise. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: LYONS

Crown him ye nations, in your song;
His wondrous names and pow'rs rehearse;
His honors shall enrich your verse.
2 He shakes the heav'ns with loud alarms;
How terrible is God in arms!
In Israel are his mercies known,
Israel is his peculiar throne.
3 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest;
He's your Defence, your Joy, your Rest:
When terrors rise, and nations faint,
God is the strength of every saint.

The All-Sufficient Mercy of God
Author: Burnham Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: All glory to mercy we bring Lyrics: 1 All glory to mercy we bring,
The mercy that reigns evermore,
The infinite mercy we sing,
The mercy eternal adore.
2 The mercy converting we prize;
In mercy forgiving delight;
For conquering mercy we rise,
We rise and triumphantly fight.
3 [And when we are wounded by sin,
And scarcely a prayer can repeat,
The mercy that heals us again,
Is mercy transportingly sweet.]
4 What though in the furnace we fall,
Free mercy the Saviour proclaims;
Free mercy in Jesus we call,
And glorify God in the flames.
5 For mercy upholding we pray;
For mercy confirming aspire;
And mercy will bear us away
To God and the glorified choir.

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-397; Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: God Divine Perfections of Lyrics: 1 O Splendor of God's glory bright,
From light eternal bringing light,
Thou light of light, light's living Spring,
True Day, all days illumining:
2 Come, very Sun of heaven's love,
In lasting radiance from above,
And pour the Holy Spirit's ray
On all we think or do today.
3 And now to thee our pray'rs ascend,
O Father, glorious without end;
We plead with Sovereign Grace for pow'r
To conquer in temptation's hour.
4 Confirm our will to do the right,
And keep our hearts from envy's blight;
Let faith her eager fires renew,
And hate the false, and love the true.
5 O joyful be the passing day
With thoughts as pure as morning's ray,
With faith like noontide shining bright,
Our souls unshadowed by the night.
6 Dawn's glory gilds the earth and skies,
Let him, our perfect Morn, arise,
The Word in God the Father one,
The Father imaged in the Son.
Amen. Scripture: John 1:4 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW
O Splendor of God's glory bright
The Eternity of God
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: Lord, raise my soul above the ground Lyrics: 1 Lord, raise my soul above the ground,
And draw my thoughts to thee;
Teach me, with sweet and solemn sound,
To praise the eternal Three.
2 Long ere the lofty skies were spread,
Jehovah filled his throne;
Or Adam formed, or angels made,
The Maker lived alone.
3 His boundless years can ne’er decrease,
But still maintain their prime;
Eternity’s his dwelling-place,
And ever is his time.
4 While like a tide our minutes flow,
The present and the past,
He fills his own immortal NOW,
And sees our ages waste.
5 The sea and sky must perish too,
And vast destruction come!
The creatures! look how old they grow,
And wait their fiery doom.
6 Well; let the sea shrink all away,
And flame melt down the skies,
My God shall live an endless day
When the old creation dies.
The Eternity of God
Stand up, and bless the Lord

Ye people of his choice;
Stand up, and bless the Lord your God
With heart and soul and voice.
2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear his holy Name,
And laud, and magnify?
3 O for the living flame,
From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our minds inspire,
And wing to heav'n our thought!
4 God is our Strength and Song,
And his salvation ours;
Then be his love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed pow'rs.
5 Stand up and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore:
Stand up, and bless his glorious Name
Henceforth for evermore.
Amen. Scripture: Nehemiah 9:5 Used With Tune: LABAN
Stand up, and bless the Lord
The Mercy of God
Author: Mrs. Steele Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song Lyrics: 1 Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,
The joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue;
Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last,
Has won my affections, and bound my soul fast.
2 Thy mercy, in Jesus, exempts me from hell;
Its glories I’ll sing, and its wonders I’ll tell;
’Twas Jesus, my Friend, when he hung on the tree,
Who opened the channel of mercy for me.
3 [Without thy sweet mercy I could not live here;
Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair;
But, through thy free goodness, my spirits revive,
And he that first made me still keeps me alive.]
4 [Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;
Dissolved by thy goodness, I fall to the ground,
And weep to the praise of the mercy I found.]
5 The door of thy mercy stands open all day,
To the poor and the needy, who knock by the way.
No sinner shall ever be empty sent back,
Who comes seeking mercy for Jesus’s sake.
6 Great Father of mercies, thy goodness I own,
And the covenant love of thy crucified Son;
All praise to the Spirit, whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.
The Mercy of God
God is a name my soul adores
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores,
Th'Almighty Three, the Eternal One!
Nature and grace, with all their powers
Confess the Infinite unknown.
2 From thy great self thy being springs;
Thou art thy own original,
Made up of uncreated things,
And self-sufficience bears them all.
3 Thy voice produced the seas and spheres,
Bids the waves roar and planets shine;
But nothing like thyself appears
Through all these spacious works of thine.
4 Still restless nature dies and grows;
From change to change the creatures run:
Thy being no succession knows,
And all thy vast designs are one.
5 How shall affrighted mortals dare
To sing thy glory or thy grace?
Beneath thy feet we lie so far,
And see but shadows of thy face!
6 Who can behold this blazing light?
Who can approach consuming flame?
None but thy wisdom knows thy might,
None but thy word can speak thy name.
God is a name my soul adores
