To Our Redeemer's Glorious Name

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 363 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To our Redeemer's glorious name Awake the sacred song. Oh, may His love, immortal flame, Tune ev'ry heart and tongue! 2 His love, what mortal thought can reach, What mortal tongue portray? Imagination's utmost stretch In wonder dies away. 3 He left His radiant throne on high, Left realms of heav'nly bliss, And came to earth to bleed and die-- Was ever love like this? 4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay Our humble thanks to Thee, May every heart with rapture say, "The Savior died for me!" 5 Oh, may the sweet, the blissful theme Fill every heart and tongue Till strangers love Thy charming name, And join the sacred song! Amen. Topics: The Redeemer Scripture: Psalm 135:1 Used With Tune: BEDFORD

According to my righteousness

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 20 According to my righteousness he did me recompense; he me repaid according to my hands’ pure innocence. 21 For I the Lord’s ways kept, nor from my God turned wickedly. 22 His judgments were before me, I his laws put not from me. 23 Sincere before him was my heart, upright with him was I; and watchfully I kept myself from mine iniquity. 24 According to my righteousness the Lord did me requite; after the cleanness of my hands appearing in his sight. 25 Thou to the gracious showest grace, to just men just thou art; 26 pure to the pure, but froward still to men of froward heart. 27 For thou wilt the afflicted save in grief that low do lie; but wilt bring down the countenance of those whose looks are high. 28 For thou thyself wilt light my lamp, that it shall shine full bright: The Lord my God will also make my darkness to be light. 29 By thee through troops of men I break, and them discomfit all; and, by my God assisting me, I overleap a wall. 30 As for God, perfect is his way, Jehovah's word is tried; he is a buckler to all those who do in him confide. 31 Who but the Lord is God? but he who is a rock and stay? 32 ’Tis God that girdeth me with strength, and perfect makes my way. 33 He made my feet swift as the hinds', on my heights made me stand; 34 my hands he taught to war, my arms a bow of brass did bend. 35 The shield of thy salvation thou upon me didst bestow: thy right hand held me up, and great thy kindness made me grow. 36 And in my way my steps thou hast enlarged under me, that I go safely, and my feet are kept from sliding free. 37 Mine enemies I did pursue, and them did overtake; nor did I turn again till I an end of them did make. 38 I wounded them, they could not rise; they at my feet did fall. 39 Thou girdedst me with strength for war; my foes thou brought’st down all: 40 and thou hast given to me the necks of all mine enemies, that I might utterly destroy those who against me rise. 41 They in their trouble cried for help, but there was none to save; yea, they did cry unto the Lord, but he no answer gave. 42 Then did I beat them small as dust before the wind that flies; and I did cast them out like dirt upon the street that lies. 43 Thou mad’st me free from people’s strife, the heathen’s head to be: a people whom I have not known shall service do to me. 44 At hearing they shall me obey, to me they shall submit. 45 Strangers for fear shall fade away who in their strongholds sit.

O Zion, open wide thy gates

Author: Jean-Baptiste de Santeüil, 1630-1697; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Zion, open wide thy gates, let symbols disappear; a priest and victim, both in one, the Truth himself, is here. 2 Aware of hidden deity, the lowly Virgin brings her newborn babe, with two young doves, her humble offerings. 3 The agèd Simeon sees at last his Lord, so long desired, and Anna welcomes Israel's hope, with holy rapture fired. 4 But silent knelt the mother blest of the yet silent Word, and pondering all things in her heart, with speechless praise adored. 5 All glory to the Father be, all glory to the Son, all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee, while endless ages run.

Thee will I praise with my whole heart

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thee will I praise with all my heart, I will sing praise to thee 2 before the gods: and worship will toward thy sanctuary. I’ll praise thy name, even for thy truth, and kindness of thy love; for thou thy word hast magnified all thy great name above. 3 Thou didst me answer in the day when I did cry to thee; and thou with strength my fainting soul didst strengthen inwardly. 4 All kings upon the earth that are shall give thee praise, O Lord: what time they from thy mouth shall hear thy true and faithful word. 5 Yea, in the righteous ways of God with gladness they shall sing: for great’s the glory of the Lord; who is for ever king. 6 The Lord high, yet he regards all those that lowly be; whereas the proud and lofty ones afar off knoweth he. 7 Though I in midst of trouble walk, I life from thee shall have: ’gainst my foes’ wrath thou’lt stretch thine hand; thy right hand shall me save. 8 All that which me concerns the Lord will surely perfect make: Lord, still thy mercy lasts; do not thine own hands’ works forsake.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 857 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, uttered or unexpressed; the motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear, the upward glancing of an eye when none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try; prayer the sublimest strains that reach the majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, returning from his ways, while angels in their songs rejoice, and cry: behold he prays! 5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, the Christian's native air, his watchword at the gates of death: he enters heaven with prayer. 6 O thou by whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way! The path of prayer thyself hast trod: Lord! Teach us how to pray.! Topics: General Hymns Prayer and Penitence Scripture: Luke 18:1 Used With Tune: BEDFORD (Isometric)
