Every Heart Its Tribute Pays

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: God as Creator Lyrics: 1 Every heart its tribute pays, every tongue its song of praise; sin and sorrow, guilt and care, brought to him who answers prayer; there by grace may humankind full and free forgiveness find; called and chosen, loved and blest, in his presence be at rest. 2 Ever while his deeds endure our salvation stands secure; he whose fingers spun the earth, gave the seas and mountains birth, tamed the ocean, formed the land, spread the skies with mighty hand: far off shores revere his Name, day and night his power proclaim. 3 Year by year, the seasons 'round sees the land with blessing crowned, where caressed by sun and rain barren earth gives life again; sunlit valleys burn with gold, nature smiles on field and fold, gifts of God in plenty poured: all things living, praise the Lord! Scripture: Psalm 65 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: God as Creator Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to God our praise; to the Rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before him now, and, with psalms his praises singing, joyful in his presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD of whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is he, our God and King. In his hand are earth's deep places, also his are all the hills; his the sea whose bounds he traces, his the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD, such might revealing, let us come with reverence meet, and, before our Maker kneeling, let us worship at his feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of his care; with a shepherd's hand he feeds us as his flock in pastures fair. 4 While he offers peace and pardon let us hear his voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way-- lest to us, so unbelieving, he in judgment should declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest will share."
