Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 130 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Praise the Lord who reigns above and keeps His court below; Praise the holy God of love and all His greatness show; Praise Him for His noble deeds; praise Him for His matchless power; Him from whom all good proceeds let earth and Heaven adore. 2. Publish, spread to all around the great Jehovah’s name, Let the trumpet’s martial sound the Lord of hosts proclaim: Praise Him in the sacred dance, harmony’s full concert raise, Let the virgin choir advance, and move but to His praise. 3. Celebrate th’eternal God with harp and psaltery, Timbrels soft and cymbals loud in this high praise agree; Praise with every tuneful string; all the reach of heavenly art, All the powers of music bring, the music of the heart. 4. God, in whom they move and live, let every creature sing, Glory to their maker give, and homage to their King. Hallowed be Thy name beneath, as in Heaven on earth adored; Praise the Lord in every breath, let all things praise the Lord.

Maker, Savior Of Mankind

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Maker, Savior of mankind, Who hast on me bestowed, An immortal soul, designed To be the house of God: Come, and now reside in me, Never, never to remove; Make me just and good, like Thee, And full of power and love. 2 Bid in me Thine image rise, A saint, a creature new; True, and merciful, and wise, And pure and happy, too; This Thy primitive design, That I should in Thee be blest; Should within Thine arms divine, For ever, ever rest. 3 Let Thy will in me be done; Fulfill my heart’s desire, Thee to know, and love alone, And rise in raptures higher. Thee descending on a cloud, Till with ravished eyes I see; Then shall I be filled with God To all eternity. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1763

Fullness of the deity in Jesus’ body dwells, Dwells in all His saints and me when God His Son reveals. Father, manifest Thy Son; breathe the true incarnate Word. In our inmost souls make known the presence of the Lord. 3. Let the Spirit of our Head through every member flow; By our Lord inhabited, we then Immanuel know. Then He doth His name express; God in us we truly prove, Find with all the life of grace and all the power of love. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

God, The Omnipresent God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God, the omnipresent God, Our strength and refuge stands Ready to support our load, And bear us in His hands: Readiest when we need Him most, When to Him distressed we cry; All who on His mercy trust Shall find deliverance nigh. 2 Kept by Him, we scorn to fear In danger’s blackest day, Starting at destruction near, Though nature faint away, Though the stormy ocean roar, Though the madding billows rise, Rage, and foam, and lash the shore, And mingle earth and skies. 3 Let earth’s inmost center quake, And shattered nature mourn, Let unwieldy mountains shake, And fall by storms uptorn, Fall with all their trembling load Far into the ocean hurled, Lo! We stand secure in God, Amidst a ruined world. 4 From the throne of God there springs A pure and crystal stream, Life, and peace, and joy it brings To His Jerusalem: Rivers of refreshing grace Through the sacred city flow, Watering all the hallowed place Where God resides below. 5 God most merciful, most high, Doth in His Sion dwell, Kept by Him their towers defy The strength of earth and hell; Built on her o’ershadowing Rock, Who shall her foundations move? Who her great defender shock— The Almighty God of love. 6 All that on this Rock are stayed The world assaults in vain, Ever present with His aid He shall His own sustain: Guardian of the chosen race, Jesus doth His church defend, Save them by His timely grace, And keep them to the end. 7 Furiously the heathen raged Against His church below, Kingdoms all their power engaged Jerusalem t’o’erthrow; Earth from her foundation stirred, Yawned to swallow up her prey, Jesus spoke, she owned His word, And quaked, and fled away. 8 For His people in distress The God of Jacob stands, Keeps us, ’till our troubles cease, In His almighty hands: He for us His power hath shown, He doth still our refuge prove; Loves the Lord of hosts His own, And shall forever love. 9 Come, behold the Almighty Lord In robes of vengeance clad; By the desolating sword What havoc hath He made! He hath sent His armies forth, States and kingdoms to o’erthrow, Marched in anger through the earth, And ravaged all below. 10 Lo! Again in tender love He bids their discords cease, Calms their spirit from above, And melts them into peace; Breaks the bow and burns the car, Instruments of fatal ill, Quells the horrid din of war, And bids the world be still. 11 "Sons of men, be still, and know That I am God alone; I my saving power will show, And make my goodness known; All shall with my will comply"; Fear the name to sinners given, Bow before the Lord most high, The Lord of earth and Heav’n. 12 For His people in distress The God of Jacob stands, Bears us, ’till our troubles cease, In His almighty hands: He for us His power hath shown, He doth still our refuge prove, Loves the Lord of hosts His own, And shall forever love.
