All People That on Earth Do Dwell

Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell; Come ye before Him and rejoice. 2 Know that the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make; We are His folk, He doth us feed, And for His sheep He doth us take. 3 O enter then His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His Name always, For it is seemly so to do. 4 For why! the Lord our God is good; His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,339 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken Formed thee for his own abode: On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint, while such a river Ever flows their thirst t'assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy Name: Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen. Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN

How sweet and awful is the place

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 270 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awful is the place With Christ within the doors, While everlasting love displays The choicest of her stores. 2 While all our hearts and all our songs Join to admire the feast, Each of us cry, with thankful tongues, "Lord, why was I a guest? 3 "Why was I made to hear thy voice, And enter while there's room, When thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come?" 4 'Twas the same love that spread the feast That sweetly drew us in; Else we had still refused to taste, And perished in our sin. 5 Pity the nations, O our God, Constrain the earth to come; Send thy victorious Word abroad, And bring the strangers home. 6 We long to see thy churches full, That all the chosen race May, with one voice and heart and soul, Sing thy redeeming grace. Amen. Scripture: Luke 14:14-24 Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA

Hail to the millions from bondage returning! Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, Streams ever copious are gliding along; Loud from the mountain tops echoes are ringing, Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to Jehovah ascending on high; Fall'n are the engines of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-2 Used With Tune: WESLEY
