Glory to the Father give

Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory to the Father give, God in Whom we move and live; Children's prayers He deigns to hear, Children's songs delight His ear. 2 Glory to the Son we bring, Christ our Prophet, Priest, and King; Children raise your sweetest strain To the Lamb, for He was slain. 3 Glory to the Holy Ghost; He reclaims the sinner lost; Children's minds may He inspire, Touch their tongues with holy fire. 4 Glory in the highest be To the blessèd Trinity, For the Gospel from above, For the word, that "God is love."

Glory to Thee, O Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, O Lord, Who, from this world of sin, By cruel Herod's ruthless sword Those precious ones didst win. 2 Glory to Thee for all The ransom'd infant band, Who since that hour have heard Thy call, And reached the quiet land. 3 O that our hearts within, Like theirs, were pure and bright; O that, as free from deeds of sin We shrank not from Thy sight. 4 Lord, help us every hour Thy cleansing grace to claim; In life to glorify Thy power, In death to praise Thy Name.

Go forth, ye heralds, in My Name

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My Name, Sweetly the Gospel trumpet sound; The glorious jubilee proclaim, Where'er the human race is found. 2 The joyful news to all impart, And teach them where salvation lies; With care bind up the broken heart, And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 3 Be wise as serpents, where you go, But harmless as the peaceful dove; With care bind up the broken heart, And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 4 Freely from Me ye have received, Freely, in love, to others give; Thus shall your doctrines be believed, And, by your labours, sinners live.

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 arraign'd; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustain'd! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete; "It is finish'd!" hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

God is our Refuge in distress

Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is our Refuge in distress, A present help when dangers press; In Him, undaunted, we'll confide, Though earth were from her centre tost, And mountains in the ocean lost, Torn piecemeal by the roaring tide. 2 A gentler stream with gladness still The city of our Lord shall fill, The royal seat of God most high; God dwells in Sion, whose fair towers Shall mock th' assaults of earthly powers, While His Almighty aid is nigh. 3 Submit to God's Almighty sway, For Him the heathen shall obey, And earth her sovereign Lord confess: The God of hosts conducts our arms, Our tower of refuge in alarms, As to our fathers in distress.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,132 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 sovereign 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.

God, my King, Thy might confessing

Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, my King, Thy might confessing, Ever will I bless Thy Name; Day by day Thy throne addressing, Still will I Thy praise proclaim. 2 Honour great our God befitteth; Who His Majesty can reach? Age to age His works transmitteth, Age to age His power shall teach. 3 They shall talk of all Thy glory, On Thy might and greatness dwell, Speak of Thy dread acts the story, And Thy deeds of wonder tell. 4 Nor shall fail from memory's treasure, Works by love and mercy wrought-- Works of love surpassing measure, Works of mercy passing thought. 5 Full of kindness and compassion, Slow to anger, vast in love, God is good to all creation; All His works His goodness prove. 6 All Thy works, O Lord, shall bless Thee; Thee shall all Thy saints adore; King supreme shall they confess Thee, And proclaim Thy sovereign power.

God of my life, O Lord most high

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, O Lord most high, To thee by day and night I cry; Vouchsafe my mournful voice to hear, To my distress incline Thine ear. 2 Like those whose strength and hopes are fled, They number me among the dead; Like those who, shrouded in the grave, From thee no more remembrance have. 3 Wilt Thou by miracle revive The dead, whom Thou forsook'st alive? Shall the mute grave thy love confess, A mouldering tomb Thy faithfulness? 4 To Thee, O Lord, I cry forlorn, My prayer prevents the early morn: Why hast Thou, Lord, my soul forsook, Nor once vouchsafed a gracious look? 5 Companions dear and friends beloved Far from my sight thou hast removed: God of my life, O Lord most high, Vouchsafe to hear my mournful cry!
