Lord God, to You We All Give Praise
Author: Philipp Melanchthon, 1497-1560; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, to you we all give praise;
To you our joyful hymns we raise
That angel hosts you did create
Around your glorious throne to wait.
2 They shine with light and heav'nly grace
And constantly behold your face.
They heed your voice; they know it well;
In godly wisdom they excel.
3 They never rest nor sleep as we;
Their whole delight is but to be
With you, Lord Jesus, and to keep
Your little flock, your lambs and sheep.
4 The ancient dragon is their foe;
His envy and his wrath they know.
So now he subtly lies in wait
To ruin school and church and state.
5 But watchful is the angel band
That follows Christ on ev'ry hand
To guard his people where they go
And break the counsel of the foe.
6 O Lord, awaken songs of praise
For angel hosts that guard our days;
Teach us to serve you and adore
As angels do forevermore. Topics: St. Michael and All Angels; St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

The Heart Dejected Sighs To Know
Author: John Needham, ?-circa 1786 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heart dejected sighs to know,
Why vice triumphant reigns below;
Why saints have fall’n in every age,
The victims of tyrannic rage.
2 Fast roll successive years away;
Fast hastens on th’important day,
When, to th’astonished world’s surprise,
God’s high tribunal shall arise.
3 Hark! ’tis the trumpet’s piercing sound;
The rising dead assemble round;
In close procession, see, they come,
Each to receive his final doom.
4 Lo! there, a vile, degenerate race;
Pale terror sits on every face:
Here, on the right, a joyful band,
The sons of suffering virtue stand.
5 The sentence passed, lo! these arise
To bliss and glory in the skies:
While those, who once stood high in fame,
Sink to contempt and lasting shame.
6 Thus shall God’s government appear
Without a shade, divinely fair;
And blushing doubt with joy confess,
The Lord’s a God of righteousness. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

Return, My Soul, And Seek Thy Rest
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Return, my soul, and seek thy rest
Upon thy heav’nly Father’s breast:
Indulge me, Lord, in that repose,
The soul which loves Thee only knows.
2 Lodged in Thine arms I fear no more
The tempest’s howl, the billows’ roar;
Those storms must shake th’Almighty’s seat,
Which violate the saints’ retreat.
3 Thy bounties, Lord, to me surmount
The power of language to recount;
From morning dawn, the setting sun
Sees but my work of praise begun.
4 The mercies, all my moments bring,
Ask an eternity to sing;
What thanks those mercies can suffice
Which thro’ eternity shall rise?
5 Rich in ten thousand gifts possessed,
In future hopes more richly blessed,
I’ll sit and sing, till death shall raise
A note of more proportioned praise. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
Return, My Soul, And Seek Thy Rest
Now Christ, the Sinless Son of God
Author: N. Selnecker, 1532-92; C. H. L. Schuette, 1843-1926 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now Christ, the sinless Son of God,
On sinners sends this saving flood;
This is the water which the Lord
Has joined unto His saving Word.
2 This flood, to cleanse sin's leprosy,
Mere earthly water cannot be;
Here water and God's gracious Word
Are joined; Salvation they afford!
3 "Go forth," says Christ, "My Word proclaim,
Baptize all nations in God's name;
All who are baptized and believe
Life everlasting shall receive."
4 God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To be baptized invites a host;
Here He is present, though unseen,
From all our sins He's washed us clean.
5 And so by our repentance, must
The old man, with his sins and lust,
Be daily drowned and then arise
God's own child, righteous, pure, and wise.
6 Since by this water and the Word
We're born again, we thank You, Lord.
Through life and death Yours may we be,
Your children through eternity. Topics: Baptism of Jesus Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
Now Christ, the Sinless Son of God
Let the round world with songs rejoice
Author: Richard Mant, 1776-1848 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the round world with songs rejoice,
Let heaven return the joyful voice,
All mindful of the Apostles’ fame,
Let heaven and earth their praise proclaim.
2 Ye servants who once bore the light
Of gospel truth o’er heathen night,
Still may your work that light impart,
To glad our eyes and cheer our heart.
3 O God, by whom to them was given
The key that shuts and opens heaven,
Our chains unbind, our loss repair,
And grant us grace to enter there.
4 For at thy will they preached the word
Which cured disease, which health conferred;
O may thy healing power once more
Our souls to grace and health restore.
5 That when as judge thy Son shall come
To bring his ransomed people home,
He may with them pronounce us blest,
And place us in thine endless rest.
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honour, praise and majesty,
Now and throughout eternity. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Apostles and Evangelists; Office Hymn Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Latin, c. 10th century

O God, Thy Soldiers' Crown and Guard
Author: Anonymous; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, Thy soldiers’ crown and guard,
And their exceeding great reward;
From all transgressions set us free,
Who sing Thy martyr’s victory.
2. The pleasures of the world he spurned,
From sin’s pernicious lures he turned;
He knew their joys imbued with gall,
And thus he reached Thy heavenly hall.
3. For Thee through many a woe he ran,
In many a fight he played the man;
For Thee his blood he dared to pour,
And thence hath joy forevermore.
4. We therefore pray Thee, full of love,
Regard us from Thy throne above;
On this Thy martyr’s triumph day,
Wash every stain of sin away.
5. O Christ, most loving King, to Thee,
With God the Father, glory be;
Like glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: The Hymnal Noted, 1852-54
