Sing to the LORD, Ye Distant Lands

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 200 hymnals Topics: Ark of the Covenant Lyrics: 1 Sing to the LORD, ye distant lands, ye tribes of ev'ry tongue; his new-discovered grace demands a new and nobler song. Tell all the nations, "Jesus reigns, God's own almighty Son; his pow'r the sinking world sustains, and grace surrounds his throne." 2 Let heav'n proclaim the joyful day; let joy on earth be seen; let cities shine in bright array, and fields in cheerful green. Let joy above all joys surprise the islands of the sea; ye mountains sink; ye valleys rise; prepare the LORD his way. 3 Behold, he comes, he comes to bless the nations as their God, to show the world his righteousness, and send his truth abroad. But when his voice shall raise the dead, and bid the world draw near, how will the guilty nations dread to see their judge appear. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Now Israel May Say, and That in Truth

Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Church Covenant People Lyrics: 1 Now Israel may say, and that in truth, if that the Lord had not our right maintained, if that the Lord had not with us remained, when cruel men against us rose to strive, we surely had been swallowed up alive. 2 Yea, when their wrath against us fiercely rose, the swelling tide had o'er us spread its wave, the raging stream had then become our grave, the surging flood, in proudly swelling roll, most surely then had overwhelmed our soul. 3 Blest be the Lord who made us not their prey: as from the snare a bird escapeth free, their net us rent and so escaped are we: our only help is in Jehovah's name, who made the earth and all the heav'nly frame.

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: The Church at Worship Covenants First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found and hope comes home, sing and be glad that two are one. When love explodes and fills the sky, praise God, and share our Maker's joy. 2 When love has flowered in trust and care, build both each day, that love may dare to reach beyond home's warmth and light, to serve and strive for truth and right. 3 When love is tried as loved ones change, hold still to hope, though all seems strange, till ease returns and love grows wise through listening ears and opened eyes. 4 When love is torn, and trust betrayed, pray strength to love till torments fade, till lovers keep no score of wrong, but hear through pain love's Easter song. 5 Praise God for love, praise God for life, in age or youth, in calm or strife. Lift up your hearts, let love be fed through death and life in broken bread. Used With Tune: O WALY, WALY
