The earth belongs to God alone

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The earth belongs to God alone and all that it contains; the world and its inhabitants God's steadfast love maintains. 2 The Lord who brought the world to birth laid earth's foundations sure, and firm within the surging seas established them secure. 3 Who, then, are those who shall ascend the holy hill of God? And who is fit to stand within the presence of the Lord? 4 All those whose hands and hearts are clean, with no room in their mind for worthless vanities or vows of a deceitful kind. 5 These are the people who receive a blessing from the Lord, and vindication for their ways from God, their saving God. 6 O God of Jacob, help us all who gather in this place, to seek your presence with us now: we yearn to see your face.

O God, No Longer Hold Thy Peace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, no longer hold thy peace, no longer silent be; thine enemies lift up their head to fight thy saints and thee. Against thine own, whom thou dost love, their craft thy foes employ; they think to cut thy people off, thy church they would destroy. 2 Thine ancient foes, conspiring still, with one consent agree, and they who with thy people strive make war, O God, with thee. O God, who in our fathers' time didst smite our foes and thine, so smite thine enemies today who in their pride combine. 3 Make them like dust and stubble blown before the whirlwind dire, in terror driv'n before the storm of thy consuming fire. Confound them in their sin till they to thee for pardon fly, till in dismay they, trembling, own that thou art God Most High.

Author: John Swertner, 1746-1813 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Believing souls, rejoice and sing, Your risen Savior see, And say, “O death, where is thy sting! O grace, thy victory!” Rejoice, your conquering Savior lives, He lives to die no more; And life eternal freely gives, Since He our sorrows bore. 2 Sing praises to our risen Lord; Life, immortality, And lasting bliss are now restored For all, for you and me; Believe the wondrous deed, my soul, Adore His saving Name; Rejoice, ye saints, from pole to pole His love and power proclaim. 3 The Prince of glory bowed His head, Expiring on the Cross; But now the Lord is risen indeed, Is risen and lives for us; Rejoice, and in the dust adore The Lamb for sinners slain; He liveth now and evermore, For evermore to reign.

Fountain of Never-Ceasing Grace

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fountain of never-ceasing grace, your saints' exhaustless theme, great object of immortal praise, essentially supreme; we bless you for the glorious fruits your incarnation gives, the righteousness which grace imputes, and faith alone receives. 2 In you we have a righteousness by God himself approved; our rock, our sure foundation this, which never can be moved. Our ransom by your death was paid, for all your people giv'n, the law you perfectly obeyed, that they might enter heav'n. 4 As all, when Adam sinned alone, in his transgression died, so by the righteousness of One are sinners justified; we to your merit, gracious Lord, With humblest joy submit, again to paradise restored, in you alone complete.
