Make Music to the LORD Most High

Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Christian Worship #92B (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 Make music to the LORD Most High, whose praise is our delight: we sing your love as day begins, your faithfulness by night. LORD, when we see all you have done, our songs of joy resound: your handiwork, how vast it is, your counsels, how profound! 2 The godless mind will never know, because its sense is void, that though the wicked spread like grass, they all shall be destroyed. Forever, LORD, you are supreme, your throne remains on high, while rebels meet eternal doom and evildoers die. 3 But like the cedar and the palm, the righteous stand serene; they flourish in the house of God, their leaves are fresh and green. To fruitful age they still proclaim the LORD who makes them new— our God, in whom no wrong is found, my rock, forever true. Scripture: Psalm 92 Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

In Thee, O Lord, I Put My Trust

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #138 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust; Shamed let me never be; O save me in Thy righteousness, Give ear, and rescue me. Be Thou my rock, my dwelling-place, Forever mine, as now; Salvation Thou hast willed for me, My rock and fortress, Thou. 2 Deliver me from wicked hands, Save me from men unjust, For Thou, Jehovah, art my hope, From youth Thou art my trust. Thou hast upheld me in Thy grace From childhood's early days; To Thee from whom I life received Will I give constant praise. 3 Though troubles great o’ershadow me, Thou art my refuge strong; My mouth shall praise Thee all the day, Thy honor be my song. Cast me not off when hoary age Becomes my weary lot, And in the days of failing strength Do Thou forsake me not. 4 My foes are strong and confident, For I to them appear As one forsaken by his God, With none to help me near. My God, be Thou not far from me, Make haste to hear my call; Ashamed, consumed be all my foes, Dishonored let them fall. 5 But I will ever hope in Thee, My ceaseless praise is Thine; I will declare Thy countless deeds Of truth and grace divine. Yea, I will tell the mighty acts Performed by God the Lord; Thy righteousness, and Thine alone, With praise I will record. Scripture: Psalm 71 Languages: English Tune Title: I SEE THEE STANDING, LAMB OF GOD

My gracious Lord, I own thy right

Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #488 (1917) Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own Thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight To hear Thy counsels and obey. 2 What is my being but for Thee, Its sure support, its noblest end? 'Tis my delight Thy face to see, And service the cause of such a Friend. 3 I would not sigh for worldly joy, Or to increase my worldly good; Nor future days nor powers employ To spread a sounding name abroad. 4 To Christ my Saviour I would live, To Him who for my ransom died; Nor could all worldly honour give Such bliss as crowns me at His side. 5 His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigour is no more; And my last hour of life confess His dying love, His saving power.
