Praise Ye the Lord, for it is Good
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: The Church on Earth; Grace of God; Healing; Humility; Love Of God; Name Of God; God in Nature; The Poor; Praise for Blessings; Praise for God's Perfections; Praise for God's Works; Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving Day; Waiting upon God ; Wisdom of God; Works of God Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good
To sing unto our God;
'Tis right and pleasant for His saints
To tell His praise abroad.
The Lord our God builds up His Church,
He seeks her wandering sons;
He binds their wounds and gently leads
The brokenhearted ones.
2 Our Lord is great, He calls by name
And counts the stars of night;
His wisdom is unsearchable,
And wondrous is His might.
The Lord upholds the poor and meek,
He brings the wicked low;
Sing praise to Him and give Him thanks
And all His goodness show.
3 No human might, no earthly pride
Delights the Lord above;
In those who fear Him He delights,
In those that trust His love.
O Zion, praise the Lord thy God,
His wondrous love confess;
He is thy glory and thy strength,
He will thy children bless. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: MINERVA

Lord, Thy mercy now entreating
And am I only born to die?
Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die?
And must I suddenly comply
With nature’s stern decree?
What after death for me remains?
Celestial joys, or hellish pains,
To all eternity.
2 How then ought I on earth to live,
While God prolongs the kind reprieve,
And props the house of clay;
My sole concern, my single care,
To watch, and tremble, and prepare
Against the fatal day!
3 No room for mirth or trifling here,
For worldly hope, or worldly fear,
If life so soon is gone;
If now the judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
The inexorable throne!
4 Nothing is worth a thought beneath,
But how I may escape the death
That never, never dies!
How make mine own election sure;
And when I fail on earth, secure
A mansion in the skies.
5 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray,
Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way
To glorious happiness.
Ah! write the pardon on my heart;
And whensoe’er I hence depart,
Let me depart in peace.
And am I only born to die?
Psalm 26
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Judgment day; Sincerity; Evidences of grace, or self-examination; Examination or evidences of grace; Grace its evidences, or self-examination; Self-examination or evidences of grace; Trial of our hearts First Line: Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways Lyrics:
Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways,
And try my reins, and try my heart
My faith upon thy promise stays,
Nor from thy law my feet depart.
I hate to walk, I hate to sit,
With men of vanity and lies
The scoffer and the hypocrite
Are the abhorrence of mine eyes.
Amongst thy saints will I appear
With frauds well washed in innocence;
But when I stand before thy bar,
The blood of Christ is my defence.
I love thy habitation, Lord,
The temple where thine honors dwell;
There shall I hear thine holy word,
And there thy works of wonder tell.
Let not my soul be joined at last
With men of treachery and blood,
Since I my days on earth have passed
Among the saints, and near my God.
Scripture: Psalm 26
Psalm 26
How firm a foundation, you people of God
Author: 'K-" Appears in 2,257 hymnals Topics: Conflict; Consolation; Faithfulness of God; Grace; Jesus Christ Reign; People of God; Response to Word; Saints Days and Holy Days Any Saint; Sanctification; Suffering; Trust in God; Worship The Word Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, you people of God,
is laid for your faith in his excellent word;
what more can he say than to you he has said,
to all who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 Fear not, he is with you, and be not dismayed,
for he is your God and will still give you aid:
he'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,
upheld by his righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 When through the deep waters he calls you to go,
the rivers of grief shall not you overflow;
the Lord will be with you in trouble to bless,
and sanctify to you your deepest distress.
4 When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie
his grace, all-sufficient shall be your supply;
the flame shall not hurt you, his only design
your dross to consume and your gold to refine.
5 The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose
he will not, he cannot, desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
he never will leave, he will never forsake. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: (?Richard Keen) in John Rippon's Selection of Hymns, 1787, alt.
How firm a foundation, you people of God
Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 365 hymnals Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near;
The waters of life are now flowing for thee!
No price is demanded, the Saviour is here,
Redemption is purchased, salvation is free.
2 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God?
A fountain is open'd, how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood?
3 Delay not, delay not; O sinner, to come,
For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day;
Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb;
Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away.
4 Delay not, delay not; the Spirit of grace,
Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night.
Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near
Life is the Time to serve the Lord
Appears in 353 hymnals Topics: Day of Grace and Time of Duty Lyrics: 1 Life is the Time to serve the Lord,
The Time t' insure the great Reward;
And while the Lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest Sinner may return.
[2 Life is the Hour that God has giv'n
To 'scape from Hell, and fly to Heav'n;
The Day of Grace, and Mortals may
Secure the Blessings of the Day.]
3 The Living know that they must die,
But all the Dead forgotten lie;
Their Mem'ry and their Sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.
[4 Their Hatred and their Love is lost,
Their Envy buried in the Dust;
They have no Share in all that's done
Beneath the Circuit of the Sun.]
5 Then what my Thoughts design to do,
My Hands with all your Might pursue,
Since no Device, nor Work is found,
Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground.
6 There are no Acts of Pardon past
In the cold Grave, to which we haste;
But Darkness, Death, and long Despair,
Reign in eternal Silence there.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-6
Life is the Time to serve the Lord
