Glorious things of you are spoken

Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,340 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 4, Revelation The New Temple Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed you for his own abode: on the rock of ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? with salvation's walls surrounded you may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters springing from eternal love! well supply your sons and daughters and all fear of want remove: who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? grace, which like the Lord the giver never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering showing that the Lord is near: thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name: fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87:3 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Lyrics: 1 How marvelous God's greatness! How glorious His might! To this the world bears witness in wonders day and night- in form of flow'r and snowflake, in morn's resplendent birth, in afterglow at even, in sky and sea and earth. 2 Each tiny flow'ret whispers the great Life-giver's Name; the mighty mountain masses His majesty proclaim; the hollow vales are hymning God's shelter for His own; the snow-capped peaks are pointing to God's almighty throne. 3 The ocean's vast abysses in one grand psalm record the deep mysterious counsels and mercies of the Lord; the icy waves of winter are thund'ring on the strand; and grief's chill stream is guided by God's all-gracious hand. 4 The starry hosts are singing thro' all the light-strewn sky of God's eternal temple and palace courts on high; when in these outer chambers such glory gilds the night, O, what transcendent brightness is God's eternal light!

Give to the LORD, Ye Sons of Fame

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: Revelation Lyrics: 1 Give to the LORD, ye sons of fame, give to the LORD renown and pow'r; ascribe due honors to His name, and His eternal might adore. 2 The LORD proclaims His pow'r aloud o'er the vast ocean and the land; His voice divides the wat'ry cloud, and lightnings blaze at His command. 3 He speaks, and howling tempests rise, and lay the forest bare around: the fiercest beast, with piteous cries, confess the terror of the sound. 4 His thunders rend the vaulted skies, and palaces and temples shake. The mountains tremble at the noise, the valleys roar, the deserts quake. 5 The LORD sits sov'reign o'er the flood; the Thund’rer reigns forever King; but makes His temple His abode, where we His awful glories sing. 6 We see no terrors in His name, but in our God a Father find. The voice that shakes all nature's frame, speaks comfort to the pious mind. Scripture: Psalm 29 Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me; and alone, when they replied, Thou didst hear me. 3 Sev'n whole days, not one in sev'n, I will praise Thee; in my heart, though not in heav'n, I can raise Thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enroll Thee: e'en eternity's too short to extol Thee. Used With Tune: GWALCHMAI
