Praise ye the Lord: him praise, my soul
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord: him praise, my soul.
2 I’ll praise God while I live;
while I have being to my God
in songs I’ll praises give.
3 Trust not in princes, nor man’s son,
in whom there is no stay:
4 his breath departs, to’s earth he turns;
that day his thoughts decay.
5 O happy is that man and blest,
whom Jacob’s God doth aid;
whose hope upon the Lord doth rest,
and on his God is stayed:
6 who made the earth and heavens high,
who made the swelling deep,
and all that is within the same;
who truth doth ever keep:
7 Who righteous judgment executes
for those oppressed that be,
who to the hungry giveth food;
and sets the prisoners free.
8 The Lord doth give the blind their sight,
the bowed down doth raise:
the Lord doth dearly love all those
that walk in upright ways.
9 The stranger’s shield, the widow’s stay,
the orphan’s help is he:
but yet by him the wicked’s way
turned upside down shall be.
10 The Lord shall reign for evermore:
thy God, O Zion, he
to generations all shall reign.
Praise to the Lord give ye. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: YORK

This World Is All Enchanted Ground
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This world is all enchanted ground,
O whither shall I fly?
The vengeful flames are kindling round,
And if I stop, I die.
2 When some kind hand has brought me forth,
How lingering is my pace!
Lord, either drive me by Thy wrath,
Or draw me by Thy grace.
3 O let me not a moment waste,
On this destructive plain;
Hence let me flee with greater haste,
Till I the Zoar gain. Used With Tune: YORK Text Sources: Appeared posthumously in Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton and Briggs,1818)

The Many Are Not Always Right
Author: Julius Brigg Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The many are not always right,
The few not always wrong;
Weak oft are those who boast their might,
But truth is always strong.
2 O, let me have a holy name,
E’en though alone I be!
Vain is the charm of earthly fame,
And sin’s short victory.
3 I’d rather with Elijah stand,
Alone on Carmel’s crest,
Than own allegiance to the band
Whose shame was there confessed.
4 I’d rather have a Daniel’s crown
Of fearless fortitude,
Than basely lay my manhood down
With craven multitude.
5 I’d rather be the one true heart,
Strong in a purpose high,
Than cowardly from Christ depart,
With recreant hosts to die.
6 Whate’er befall, to me a place
Be with the victors giv’n,
Where faithful ones behold His face,
Amidst the bliss of Heav’n! Used With Tune: YORK
The Many Are Not Always Right
When Jesus, By The Virgin Brought
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When Jesus, by the Virgin brought,
So runs the law of Heav’n,
Was offered holy to the Lord,
And at the altar given;
2 Simeon the Just and the Devout,
Who, frequent in the fane,
Had for the Savior waited long,
But waited still in vain,
3 Came, Heav’n directed, at the hour
When Mary held her Son;
He stretchèd forth his agèd arms,
While tears of gladness run:
4 With holy joy upon his face
The good old father smiled,
While fondly in his withered arms
He clasped the promised Child.
5 And then he lifted up to Heav’n
An earnest asking eye;
"My joy is full, my hour is come,
Lord, let Thy servant die!
6 "At last my arms embrace my Lord,
Now let their vigor cease;
At last my eyes my Savior see,
Now let them close in peace!
7 "The star and glory of the land
Hath now begun to shine;
The morning that shall gild the globe
Breaks on these eyes of mine!" Used With Tune: YORK

Teach me, O Lord, the perfect way
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: HE THE FIFTH PART
33 Teach me, O LORD, the perfect way
of thy precepts divine,
and to observe it to the end
I shall my heart incline.
34 Give understanding unto me,
so keep thy law shall I;
yea, even with my whole heart I shall
observe it carefully.
35 In thy law’s path make me to go;
for I delight therein.
36 My heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to greed, incline.
37 Turn Thou away my sight and eyes
from viewing vanity;
and in thy good and holy way
be pleased to quicken me.
38 Confirm to me thy gracious word,
which I did gladly hear;
to me thy servant, Lord, who am
devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn thou away my feared reproach;
for good thy judgments be.
40 Lo, for thy precepts I have longed;
in thy truth quicken me. Scripture: Psalm 119:33-40 Used With Tune: YORK
Teach me, O Lord, the perfect way
