Come with all joy to sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #16 (1987) Topics: The Remnant of Israel Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty king, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean-floor to mountain-crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to him who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, he alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear God's voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest. 7 So to the God of earth and heaven, the Father, Spirit, Son, be given praise now, as praise has ever been and ever shall be praise — Amen!

O God, beyond all praising, we worship you today

Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #36 (1987) Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 Topics: The Remnant of Israel Lyrics: 1 O God beyond all praising, we worship you today and sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay; for we can only wonder at every gift you send, at blessings without number and mercies without end; We lift our hearts before you and wait upon your word, we honour and adore you, our great and mighty Lord. 2 Then hear, O gracious Saviour, accept the love we bring, that we who know your favour may serve you as our king; and whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill, we'll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still: to marvel at your beauty and glory in your ways, and make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise.

Edmeston (1791-1867) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #595 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: The Remnant of Israel Lyrics: 1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us o'er the world's tempestuous sea; guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us — for we have no help but thee, yet possessing every blessing if our God our Father be. 2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us: all our weakness thou dost know, thou didst tread this earth before us, thou didst feel its keenest woe; through the dreary desert, weary, in obedience thou didst go. 3 Spirit of our God, descending, fill our hearts with heavenly joy, love with every passion blending, pleasure that can never cloy; thus provided, pardoned, guided, nothing can our peace destroy.

Lord Jesus, when your people meet

Author: W. Cowper (1731-1800) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #371 (1987) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Remnant of Israel Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, when your people meet they come before your mercy-seat; where you are sought, you shall be found, and every place is holy ground. 2 Your presence, by no walls confined, is known within the humble mind; the meek will bring you where they come, and going take your to their home. 3 Great Shepherd of your chosen few, your former mercies here renew; here to our waiting hearts proclaim the greatness of your saving name. 4 Here may we prove the power of prayer to strengthen faith and sweeten care; to teach our faint desires to rise, and bring all heaven before our eyes. 5 Lord, we are few, but you are near; your arm can save, your ear can hear; break through the heavens, come quickly down, and make a thousand hearts your own!
