Great God, We Praise Your Mighty Love

Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #289 (1998) Meter: 8.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Great God we praise your mighty love which urges us to rise above constricting doubts and fears; your purpose is to set us free to live our lives creatively throughout the coming years. 2 We praise you for the love we see in husband, wife and family, in friends and neighbours too; the love which nurtured us from birth, the love which teaches human worth and lifts our minds to you. 3 We praise you most for love supreme which breaks through pain and death to stream in unrestricted light; which from Christ's resurrection dawn has shone, and never been withdrawn, to make our future bright. 4 For by your perfect love refined, our own will not be undermined by futile guilt and shame; but through disaster, grief and strife we'll reaffirm the joy of life and glorify your name.

Blest Be the Lord, My Rock, My Might

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #312 (1934) Meter: 8.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Blest be the Lord, my rock, my might, My constant Helper in the fight, My shield, my righteousness, My strong high tower, my Savior true, Who doth my enemies subdue, My shelter in distress. 2 Lord, what is man, what has he wrought, The son of man, that in Thy thought To hold him Thou shouldst deign? For man is like a breath, a sight, His days on earth as quickly fly As shadows o'er the plain. 3 Lord, how Thy heavens, in might descend, Touch Thou the hills, the mountains rend, And they shall smoke and flame; As arrows send Thy lightnings out to put Thy enemies to rout, And fill Thy foes with shame. 4 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From trouble's dark and raging sea, And from the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong. 5 Now will I sing a glad new song, Thy praise, O God, I will prolong, For Thou hast heard my prayer; Salvation Thou dost give to kings, Thy own dost keep, with sheltering wings, From hurtful sword and snare. 6 O Thou to Whom in trust I flee, Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From all the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong.

Zion Hymnal #365 (1999) Meter: 8.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord conduct the plan, The best concerted schemes are vain, And never can succeed; We spend our wretched strength for naught; But if our works in Thee be wrought, They shall be blest indeed. 2 Lord, if Thou didst Thyself inspire Our souls with this intense desire Thy goodness to proclaim; Thy glory if we now intend, O let our deeds begin and end Complete in Jesus' name. 3 Now, Jesus, now Thy love impart, To govern each devoted heart, And fit us for Thy will; Deep founded in the truth of grace, Build up Thy rising Church, and place The city on the hill. 4 O let our love and faith abound; O let our lives, to all around With purest luster shine; That all around our works may see, And give the glory, Lord, to Thee, The heavenly light divine.
