O God, unseen, yet ever near

Author: E. Osler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 135 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, unseen yet ever near, Thy presence may we feel; And thus inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. 2 Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy love, The streams that through the desert flow, The manna from above. 3 We come, obedient to Thy word, To feast on heavenly food; Our meat the Body of the Lord, Our drink his precious Blood. 4 Thus may we all Thy word obey, For we, O God, are Thine; And go rejoicing on our way, Renewed with strength divine. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Used With Tune: BEDFORD

With Songs and Honors Sounding Loud

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 282 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heav’ns He spreads His cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2. He sends His showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3. He gives the grazing ox his meat, He hears the raven’s cry; But man, who tastes His finest wheat, Should raise His honors high. 4. His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 5. His hoary frost, His fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 6. When from the dreadful stores on high He pours the rattling hail, The wretch that dares this God defy Shall find his courage fail. 7. He sends His Word, and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 8. The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey His mighty Word: With songs and honors sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

According to my righteousness

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 20 According to my righteousness he did me recompense; he me repaid according to my hands’ pure innocence. 21 For I the Lord’s ways kept, nor from my God turned wickedly. 22 His judgments were before me, I his laws put not from me. 23 Sincere before him was my heart, upright with him was I; and watchfully I kept myself from mine iniquity. 24 According to my righteousness the Lord did me requite; after the cleanness of my hands appearing in his sight. 25 Thou to the gracious showest grace, to just men just thou art; 26 pure to the pure, but froward still to men of froward heart. 27 For thou wilt the afflicted save in grief that low do lie; but wilt bring down the countenance of those whose looks are high. 28 For thou thyself wilt light my lamp, that it shall shine full bright: The Lord my God will also make my darkness to be light. 29 By thee through troops of men I break, and them discomfit all; and, by my God assisting me, I overleap a wall. 30 As for God, perfect is his way, Jehovah's word is tried; he is a buckler to all those who do in him confide. 31 Who but the Lord is God? but he who is a rock and stay? 32 ’Tis God that girdeth me with strength, and perfect makes my way. 33 He made my feet swift as the hinds', on my heights made me stand; 34 my hands he taught to war, my arms a bow of brass did bend. 35 The shield of thy salvation thou upon me didst bestow: thy right hand held me up, and great thy kindness made me grow. 36 And in my way my steps thou hast enlarged under me, that I go safely, and my feet are kept from sliding free. 37 Mine enemies I did pursue, and them did overtake; nor did I turn again till I an end of them did make. 38 I wounded them, they could not rise; they at my feet did fall. 39 Thou girdedst me with strength for war; my foes thou brought’st down all: 40 and thou hast given to me the necks of all mine enemies, that I might utterly destroy those who against me rise. 41 They in their trouble cried for help, but there was none to save; yea, they did cry unto the Lord, but he no answer gave. 42 Then did I beat them small as dust before the wind that flies; and I did cast them out like dirt upon the street that lies. 43 Thou mad’st me free from people’s strife, the heathen’s head to be: a people whom I have not known shall service do to me. 44 At hearing they shall me obey, to me they shall submit. 45 Strangers for fear shall fade away who in their strongholds sit.

O Zion, open wide thy gates

Author: Jean-Baptiste de Santeüil, 1630-1697; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Zion, open wide thy gates, let symbols disappear; a priest and victim, both in one, the Truth himself, is here. 2 Aware of hidden deity, the lowly Virgin brings her newborn babe, with two young doves, her humble offerings. 3 The agèd Simeon sees at last his Lord, so long desired, and Anna welcomes Israel's hope, with holy rapture fired. 4 But silent knelt the mother blest of the yet silent Word, and pondering all things in her heart, with speechless praise adored. 5 All glory to the Father be, all glory to the Son, all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee, while endless ages run.
