Give to our God immortal praise!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 323 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give to our God immortal praise! Mercy and truth are all his ways. Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat His mercies in your song. 2 Give to the Lord of lords renown, The King of kings with glory crown: His mercies ever shall endure, When lords and kings are known no more. 3 He built the earth, He spread the sky, And fixed the starry lights on high. Wonders of grace to God belong: Repeat His mercies in your song. 4 He fills the sun with morning light; He bids the moon direct the night: His mercies ever shall endure, When suns and moons shall shine no more. 5 He sent His Son with power to save From guilt, and darkness, and the grave. Wonders of grace to God belong: Repeat His mercies in your song. 6 Through this vain world He guides our feet, And leads us to His heavenly seat; His mercies ever shall endure, When this vain world shall be no more.

We go forth with praise to meet Thee. Waiting hearts in homage now Lay we at Thy feet to greet Thee; Enter Thou our portals, Lord, Welcomed by us and adored. 3 Glad Hosanna! King of kings, Prince of peace, Hero victorious! Thy achievement for us brings Spoils of warfare rich and glorious. Thy dominion will endure, And Thy realm alone stands sure. 4 Glad Hosanna! Honored Guest, We too are thy subjects-royal, Chosen by Thee to be blest: May we e'er to Thee prove loyal, And Thy scepter ne'er disown; In us, Lord, rule Thou alone! 5 Glad Hosanna! Nazarene, For Thy meekness we adore Thee. Though a servant's humble mien Would conceal Thine inner glory, Zion doth still know and own Thee as God's and David's Son. 6 Glad Hosanna! Help good Lord; Grant success and grace, we pray Thee. May we all with one accord With an upright heart obey Thee. Thou wilt every one receive Who will hear Thee and believe. 7 Glad Hosanna! Let us here O'er low Olivet attend Thee, Till we shall for aye revere Thee on high; Oh, thither wend we. There's our heavenly Bethphage; High Hosanna there to Thee! 8 Glad, Hosanna! we accord Thee our welcome, and implore Thee: Come, Thou Blessed of the Lord! Joyous hearts are open for Thee. Glad Hosanna! Art Thou near? Hallelujah! Thou art here! Topics: The Church Year Advent

Glorious things of Thee are spoken

Appears in 1,300 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of Thee are spoken, Zion, City of our God. He, whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows, their thirst t'assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Savior, since of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure, None but Zion's children know. Topics: The Catechism The Church

Go to dark Gethsemane

Appears in 506 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power, Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss, Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry: Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n! he meets our eyes! Savior, teach us so to rise. Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness

God gave His Word by holy men

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God gave His Word by holy men, The words dictating to their pen; That Word shall shine with glorious ray When heaven and earth have passed away. 2 It is not changeful human thought That here to darkened souls is brought, But everlasting truth and right That shed on man their heavenly light. 3 It makes the way of faith so plain That none in darkness need remain; Who meekly choose it as their guid Shall not in doubt and gloom abide. 4 It makes the path of duty clear, That all in this may persevere; Who humbly heed its righteous way Shall not from right and virtue stray. 5 For faith and life, for thought and deed, No other rule and guide we need: When God the King proclaims His will, 'Tis meet all others should be still. 6 To this alone may we adhere, In faith and love and godly fear, And ever walking by His Word, Give glory to our Sovereign Lord.

God, in human flesh appearing

Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, in human flesh appearing, Took the children to His breast, Lambs with His green pastures cheering, Fitting for His heavenly rest; This is gentleness unbounded, This is lowliness of heart; All are by His love surrounded, None are ever bid depart. 2 Lord! I bless Thy mercy endless, For Thy pleasure is to bless; Me too, when my soul was friendless, Thou didst to Thy bosom press: For I, too, to Thee was given In the pure baptismal wave, There Thou mad'st me heir of heaven, Who hast died my soul to save. 3 Feeble is the love of mother, Father's blessings are as naught, When compared, my King and Brother, With the wonders Thou hast wrought; Thus it pleased Thy heavenly meekness; Pleasing also be my praise, Till my songs of earthly weakness Burst into celestial lays.

God moves in a mysterious way

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,133 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints! fresh courage take: The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

O the sweetness of Thy Word! Sweeter far than honey gathered From the flower by bee or bird: Blessed all, who day and night Make Thy word their chief delight. 4 O my God, speak Thou Amen! For we are Thy chosen own; Be Thy praise by all exalted, And Thy glorious name made known, Till aye we may, through grace, See and serve Thee face to face.

God of grace, whose Word is sure

Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose Word is sure, Thou who keenest truth forever, That my trust may rest secure On this ground that wavers never, Let Thy truth be dear to me, That my soul may faithful be. 2 Ever true this word remains: He who Christ to own refuses, While he earthly comfort gains, Everlasting comfort loses; For the Savior will not own Him before the Father's throne. 3 To the banner of the cross I fidelity have plighted, It would be my endless loss If this solemn vow were slighted; Therefore Jesus, none but He, Shall my constant watchword be. 4 Let me, till my latest breath, Christ confess with constant meekness; Let me faithful be till death, Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness; Let me live in Him, and die Heir of mansions in the sky.
