Who would not give his heart to Thee? Who would not love Thee with his might? O Jesus, Lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength, to Thee unite? 2. Thou shin'st with everlasting rays; Before the insufferable blaze Angels with both wings veil their eyes; Yet, free as air Thy bounty streams On all Thy works; Thy mercy's beams Diffusive, as Thy sun's, arise. 3. High throned on heaven's eternal hill, In number, weight, and measure still Thou sweetly orderest all that is: And yet Thou deign'st to come to me, And guide my steps, that I, with Thee Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss. 4. Fountain of good, all blessing flows From Thee; no want Thy fulness knows; What but Thyself canst Thou Yet, self-sufficient as Thou art, Thou dost desire my worthless heart; This, only this, dost Thou require. 5. O God, of good the unfathomed Sea! Who would not give his heart to Thee? Who would not love Thee with his might? O Jesus, Lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength, to Thee unite? Used With Tune: LUCERNE

O magnify the Lord with me, Let us exult His Name; When in distress on Him I called, He to my rescue came. 2 We looked to Him and light received, Ashamed we shall not be; Our humble cry Jehovah heard, From trouble set us free. The angel of the Lord encamps Around about His own, Delivers them from all their foes, Lest they be overthrown. 3 O taste and see that God is good To all that seek His face; Yea, blest the man that trust in Him, Confiding in His grace. O fear the Lord, all ye His saints; No want shall bring distress; The lions young may pine for food, The saints all good possess. Scripture: Psalm 34 Used With Tune: EUPHEMIA

Psalm 146

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Goodness of God First Line: Praise ye the Lord, my heart shall join Lyrics: Praise ye the Lord, my heart shall join In work so pleasant, so divine; Now, while the flesh is mine abode, And when my soul ascends to God. Praise shall employ my noblest powers, While immortality endures; My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last. Why should I make a man my trust? Princes must die and turn to dust; Their breath departs, their pomp, and power, And thoughts, all vanish in an hour. Happy the man whose hopes rely On Isr'el's God; he made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train, And none shall find his promise vain. His truth for ever stands secure; He saves th' oppressed, he feeds the poor; He sends the lab'ring conscience peace, And grants the pris'ner sweet release. The Lord hath eyes to give the blind; The Lord supports the sinking mind; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless. He loves his saints, he knows them well, But turns the wicked down to hell: Thy God, O Zion! ever reigns; Praise him in everlasting strains. Scripture: Psalm 146
