O worship the King all glorious above

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above, O gratefully sing His power and His love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old; Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! Amen. Topics: Adoration; God Love and Fatherhood, His; Opening of Service; Praise; Worship Adoration Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: HANOVER

The shadows of the evening hours

Author: Adelaide A. Procter Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie: Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, O do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise. The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 3 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: Give us a respite from our toil, Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord, O give us now repose. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Comfort; Evening hymns; Peace, Spiritual; Worship Evening Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD (HILES)

Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heavens He spreads His cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends His showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 4 He sends His word, and melts the snow; The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 5 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey His mighty word: With songs and honors sounding loud Praise ye the sovereign Lord!

Make me a captive, Lord

Author: Rev. George Matheson (1842-1906) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within Thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure— It varies with the wind. It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My power is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world Until itself be driven; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4 My will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne, It must its crown resign; It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant And found in Thee its life. Amen.
