For Thee, O God, Our Constant Praise
Author: Nahum Tate; Nicholas Brady Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1. For Thee, O God, our constant praise
In Zion waits, Thy chosen seat;
Our promised altars we will raise,
And there our zealous vows complete.
2. O Thou, who to my humble prayer
Didst always bend Thy listening ear,
To Thee shall all mankind repair,
And at Thy gracious throne appear.
3. Our sins, though numberless, in vain,
To stop Thy flowing mercy try;
Whilst Thou o’erlook’st the guilty stain,
And washest out the crimson dye.
4. Blest is the man, who, near Thee placed,
Within Thy sacred dwelling lies!
While we, at humbler distance, taste
The vast delights Thy temple gives. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET
For Thee, O God, Our Constant Praise
The Perfect World, by Adam Trod
Author: Nathaniel P. Willis Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The perfect world, by Adam trod,
Was the first temple built by God;
His fiat laid the corner stone,
And heaved its pillars one by one.
2. He hung its starry roof on high,
The broad expanse of azure sky;
He spread its pavement, green and bright,
And curtained it with morning light.
3. The mountains in their places stood,
The sea, the sky; and all was good;
And when its first pure praises rang,
The morning stars together rang.
4. Lord, ’tis not ours to make the sea,
And earth, and sky, a house for Thee;
But in Thy sight our offering stands,
A humbler temple, made with hands. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET
The Perfect World, by Adam Trod
Shepherd of Souls, with Pitying Eye
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Shepherd of souls, with pitying eye
The thousands of our Israel see:
To Thee, in their behalf we cry,
Ourselves but newly found in Thee.
2. See, where o’er desert wastes they err,
And neither food nor feeder have,
Nor fold, nor place of refuge near;
For no man cares their souls to save.
3. Thy people, Lord, are sold for naught,
Nor know they their Redeemer nigh;
They perish, whom Thyself hast bought;
Their souls for lack of knowledge die.
4. The pit its mouth hath opened wide,
To swallow up its careless prey;
Why should they die, when Thou hast died,
Hast died to bear their sins away?
5. Why should the foe Thy purchase seize?
Remember, Lord, Thy dying groans:
The meed of all Thy sufferings these;
O claim them for Thy ransomed ones!
6. Extend to these Thy pardoning grace;
To these be Thy salvation showed:
O add them to Thy chosen race!
O sprinkle all their hearts with blood!
7. Still let the publicans draw near:
Open the door of faith and Heaven;
And grant their hearts Thy word to hear,
And witness all their sins forgiven. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET Text Sources: Hymns for Those That Seek and Those That Have Redemption, 1747

To Thee, O God, Whose Guiding Hand
Author: William T. Davis Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To Thee, O God, whose guiding hand
Our fathers led across the sea,
And brought them to this barren shore,
Where they might freely worship Thee—
2. To Thee, O God, whose arm sustained
Their footsteps in this desert land,
Where sickness lurked, and death assailed
And foes beset on every hand—
3. To Thee, O God, we lift our eyes,
To Thee our grateful voices raise,
And, kneeling at Thy gracious throne,
Devoutly join in hymns of praise.
4. Our fathers’ God, incline Thine ear,
And listen to our heartfelt prayer;
Surround us with Thy heavenly grace,
And guard us with Thy constant care.
5. Our fathers’ God, in Thee we’ll trust,
Sheltered by Thee from every harm;
We’ll follow where Thy hand shall guide,
And lean on Thy sustaining arm. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Ye Nations Round the Earth, Rejoice

Before the Lord, your sovereign king,
Serve Him with cheerful heart and voice;
With all your tongues His glory sing.

Doth life and breath and being give;
We are His work, and not our own;
The sheep that on His pastures live.
3. Enter His gates with songs of joy,
With praises to His courts repair;
And make it your divine employ
To pay your thanks and honors there.
4. The Lord is good, the Lord is kind;
Great is His grace, His mercy sure;
And the whole race of man shall find
His truth from age to age endure. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Courage, my soul! while God is near
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Courage, my soul! while God is near,
What enemy hast thou to fear?
How canst thou want a sure defence,
Whose refuge is Omnipotence?
2 Though thickest dangers crowd my way,
My God can chase my fears away:
My steadfast heart on Him relies,
And all those dangers still defies.
3 Though billows after billows roll
To overwhelm my sinking soul
Firm as a rock my faith shall stand,
Upheld by God's almighty hand.
4 In life His presence is my aid;
In death 'twill guide me through the shade,
Chase all my rising fears away,
And turn my darkness into day.
Amen. Topics: Faith Assurance of; Faith Blessedness of; Faith Power of; Faith Walking by; Fear Dispelled; God Omnipotent; Providence; Trust In God Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Glory to Thee, my God, this night

For all the blessings of the light.
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Safe under Thine almighty wings.

The ills that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
With joy behold the judgment-day.

The bliss of Thy paternal care;
Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above,
To see Thy face and sing Thy love.
