My people, give ear, attend to my word

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My people, give ear, attend to my word, In parables new deep truths shall be heard; The wonderful story our fathers made known To children succeeding by us must be shown. 2 Instructing our sons we gladly record The praises, the works, the might of the Lord, For he has commanded that what he has done Be passed in tradition from father to son. 3 Let children thus learn from history's light To hope in our God and walk in his sight, The God of their fathers to fear and obey, And ne'er like their fathers to turn from his way. 4 The story be told, to warn and restrain, Of hearts that were hard, rebellious, and vain, Of soldiers who faltered when battle was near, Who kept not God's cov'nant nor walked in his fear. 5 God's wonderful works to them he had shown, His marvelous deeds their fathers had known; He made for their pathway the waters divide, His glorious pillar of cloud was their guide. 6 Unharmed through the sea, where perished their foe, He caused them with ease and safety to go; His holy land gaining, in peace they were brought To dwell in the mountain the Lord's hand had bought. 7 He gave them the land, a heritage fair; The nations that dwelt in wickedness there He drove out before them with great overthrow, And gave to his people the tents of the foe. 8 His servant he called, a shepherd of sheep, From tending his flock, the people to keep; So David, their shepherd, with wisdom and might Protected and fed them and led them aright. Amen.

We Praise Thee, O God

Author: Ambrose M. Schmidt Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: We praise Thee, O God, our Lord and our king Lyrics: 1. We praise Thee, O God, our Lord and our king, Accept Thou the praise we gratefully bring; Thanksgiving and worship we offer to Thee, Thou ruler of nations, in whom we are free. 2. We praise Thee, O God, for Thy guiding hand, In leading Thy church to freedom’s fair land; Through sore persecution our fathers here came, Where free and unfettered they worshipped Thy name. 3. We praise Thee, O God, for years of increase, For faith unassailed, prosperity, peace; United we offer our anthem of praise, To Thee, our supporter, our Ancient of Days. 4. We pray Thee, O Christ, our Savior and friend, From error and strife Thy Zion defend; Breathe on us, we pray Thee, O Spirit of love, And fit us for union with Thy church above.

My Soul, Praise the LORD!

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: My soul, praise the LORD! The LORD is most great Refrain First Line: Your Spirit, O LORD, makes life to abound Lyrics: 1 My soul, praise the LORD! The LORD is most great, with glory arrayed, majestic in state. The light is his garment, the skies form a tent, and over the waters his couriers are sent. 2 He rides on the clouds and wings of the storm. The lightning and wind his mission perform. Foundations of earth he forever has stayed; to cover it, oceans like garments were laid. 3 On mountains and plains the dark waters lay. They heard his rebuke and hurried away. He lifted the mountains, to valleys gave birth, set boundaries for seas that once covered the earth. Refrain: Your Spirit, O LORD, makes life to abound. The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground. To God be all glory and wisdom and might. May God in his creatures forever delight. 4 God causes the springs of water to flow in streams from the hills to valleys below. The LORD gives the streams for all living things there, while birds with their singing enrapture the air. 5 Down mountains and hills your showers are sent. With fruit of your work the earth is content. You give grass for cattle and food for our toil, enriching our labors with bread, wine, and oil. 6 The trees that the LORD has planted are fed, and over the earth their branches are spread. They keep in their shelter the birds of the air. The life of each creature God keeps in his care. [Refrain] 7 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine. The slow-changing moon shows forth God's design. The sun in its circuit its Maker obeys and, running its journey, hastes not nor delays. 8 The LORD makes the night, when, leaving their lair, the lions go forth, God's bounty to share. The LORD makes the morning, when beasts steal away, when we are beginning the work of the day. 9 How many and wise the works of the LORD! The earth with its wealth of creatures is stored. The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro; Leviathan plays in the waters below. 10 Your creatures all look to you for their food. Your hand opens wide, they gather the good. When you hide your face, LORD, in anguish they yearn; when you stop their breathing, to dust they return. [Refrain] 11 Before the LORD's might earth trembles and quakes. The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks. I promise to worship the LORD all my days. Yes, while I have being, my God I will praise. 12 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet. May sinners depart in ruin complete. My soul, praise the LORD God - his name be adored. Come, praise him, all people, and worship the LORD.
