How Pleasant

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Christian Worship #84C (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: How pleasant and divinely fair Lyrics: 1 How pleasant, how divinely fair, O LORD of hosts, your dwellings are! With long desire my spirit faints to see the shining hosts of saints. My flesh would rest in you abode; my weary heart cries out for God: "My God! My King! Why should I stay far from the joys of endless day?" 2 The sparrow has a place to rest, and for her young provides a nest, but will my God to them alone pour out his mercy from the throne? Blest are the saints who dwell on high around your throne, above the sky; their brightest glories shine above, and all their work is praise and love. 3 Great God, attend, while Zion sings the joy that from your presence springs; to spend a day within your courts exceeds a thousand days apart. You are our sun, you bless our day; and you our shield, to guard our way from all assaults of hell and sin, from foes without and fears within. 4 All needed grace you will bestow, and crown that grace with glory too; you give all things, and you withhold no heav'nly good from upright souls. O God our King, whose sov'reign sway the glorious hosts of heav'n obey, display your grace, exert your pow'r, till all on earth your name adore.

O God from God, O Light from Light

Author: John Julian Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #85 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 O God from God, O Light from Light, O Prince of Peace and King of kings, To you in heaven's glory bright The song of praise forever rings. To him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain but raised again, Be all the glory he has won, All thanks and praise! Amen, Amen. 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly, in type, from age to age The nations saw their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good will to men!" Sung by heav'n's hosts in splendor bright, Re-echoed now, "Good will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain mid hate and scorn -- These all are past, and now above He reigns, our King once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, O mighty gates! So sang the angel hosts again. Lift up your heads -- your King awaits. We lift them up, Amen, Amen. 4 Sing to the Lord a mighty song; Sing to his name, his glories tell! Sing, heav'nly hosts, your praise prolong, And all on earth, your anthem swell! Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain! Forever let the song ascend! Worthy the Lamb enthroned to reign, Glory and pow'r! Amen, Amen.

Come and behold the works of God

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #88 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: Come, and behold the works of God, What desolations he will make; In vengeance when He wields His rod, The heathen rage, their kingdoms quake; 92 He utters forth His voice;--'tis felt; Like wax the world's foundations melt; The Lord of Hosts is in the field! The God of Jacob is our shield. Again He maketh wars to cease, He breaks the bow, unpoints the spear, And burns the chariot;--joy and peace In all His glorious march appear: Silence, O Earth! Thy Maker own; Ye gentiles, He is God alone; The Lord of Hosts is in the field, The God of Jacob is our shield. Topics: War and peace Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English

God's Glory Fills the Heavens with Hymns

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #89 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns, the domed sky bears the Maker's mark; new praises sound from day to day and echo through the knowing dark. Without a word their songs roll on, into all lands their voices run. And with a champion's strength and grace from farthest heaven comes forth the sun. God's perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise; its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. For ever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold was ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. God's servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that word my guide. O cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin: deliver me from selfish pride. Accept my thoughts and words and deeds: let them find favor in your sight. For you alone can make me whole, O Lord, my refuge and my might.

Psalm 32

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #90b (2024) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: Blest is the soul, supremely blest Lyrics: 1. Blest is the soul, supremely blest, Whose wickedness is all forgiv’n, Who finds in Jesu’s wounds sweet rest And sees the smiling face of Heav’n. The guilt and pow’r of sin is gone From those who do in Christ believe; Covered it lies, and still kept down, And buried in the Savior’s grave. 2. But while through pride I held my tongue Nor owned my helpless unbelief, My bones were wasted all day long, My strength consumed with pining grief; Crushed by your anger’s heavy hand, Burnt up as a dry, barren ground, I ever of my sin complained, But no relief or mercy found. 3. Resolved at last, “To God,” I cried, “My sins I will at large confess, My shame I will no longer hide, My depth of desperate wickedness. All will I own unto my Lord, Without reserve or cloaking art,” I said, and felt the pard’ning word; Your mercy spoke it to my heart. 4. You are my hiding place and trust; I rest secure from sin and hell; Safe in the love that ransomed us, And sheltered in your wounds I dwell. Still shall your grace to me abound; The countless wonders of your grace I still shall tell to all around, And sing my great Deliv’rer’s praise. Topics: Lent Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English
