Come with all joy to sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 22 The Two Ways Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty king, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean-floor to mountain-crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to him who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, he alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear God's voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest. 7 So to the God of earth and heaven, the Father, Spirit, Son, be given praise now, as praise has ever been and ever shall be praise — Amen!

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,306 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Come, thou fount of ev'ry blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand'ring from the fold of God: he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be; let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wand'ring heart to thee. Prone to wander – Lord, I feel it – prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above. Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Used With Tune: NETTLETON
