We all believe in One true God

Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: CBE #a6 (1863) Lyrics: We all believe in One true God, Maker of the earth and heaven; The Father, who to us in love Hath the claim of children given. He in soul and body feeds us, All we want His hand provides us; Thro' all snares and perils leads us, Watches that no harm betides us; He cares for us, Cares for us by day and night, All things are govern'd by His might. And we believe in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne and might, Through whom descends the Father's blessing; Conceivèd of the Holy Spirit, Born of Mary, virgin mother; That lost man might inherit Made true man, our Elder Brother, Was crucified bor sinful men, And raised by God to life again. And we confess the Holy Ghost, Who from Son and Father floweth, The Comforter of fearful hearts, Who all precious gifts bestoweth; In whome all the Church hath union, Who maintains the Saints' Communion; We believe our sins forgiven, And that life with God in heaven, When we are raised again, shall be Our portion in eternity.

All praise and thanks to God most High

Author: Schutz Hymnal: CBE #2 (1863) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: All praise and thanks to God most High, The Father who is perfect love; The God who doeth wondrously, The God who from His throne above My soul with richest solace fills, The God who every sorrow stills; Give glory now to Him, our God! The host of heaven thy praises tell, All powers and thrones bow down to Thee, And all who in Thy shadow dwell, Alike in earth and air and sea, Declare and laud their Maker's might, Whose wisdom orders all things right: Give glory then to Him, our God! And for the creatures He hath made, Our God will ceaselessly provide, His grace will be their constant aid, And guard them round on every side; His kingdom ye may surely trust, There all is equal, all is just; Give glory then to Him, our God!

Ah yes! till life hath reached its bound, My faithful God, I'll worship Thee! The chorus of Thy praise shall sound From henceforth over land and sea.

Ye who the Father's power proclaim, Give all the glory to our God! All idols under foot be trod, The Lord is God, the Lord is God! Give glory evermore to Him! Languages: English

Lo, heaven and earth, and sea and air

Author: J. Neander Hymnal: CBE #3 (1863) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Lo, heaven and earth, and sea and air, Their Maker's glory all declare; And thou, my soul, awake and sing, To Him Thy praises also bring. Through Him the glorious Source of Day Drives all the clouds of night away; The pomp of stars, the moon's soft light, Praise Him through all the silent night. Behold, how He hath everywhere Made earth so wondrous rich and fair; The forest dark, the fruitful land, All living things do show His hand. Behold, how through the boundless sky The happy birds all swiftly fly! And fire and wind and storm are still The ready servants of His will. Behold the waters' ceaseless flow, For ever circling to and fro; The mighty sea, the bubbling well, Alike their Maker's glory tell. My God, how wondrously dost Thou Unfold Thyself to us e'en now! O grave it deeply on my heart What I am, Lord, and what Thou art! Languages: English

Cometh sunshine after rain

Author: Gerhardt Hymnal: CBE #4 (1863) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: Cometh sunshine after rain, After mourning joy again, After heavy bitter grief Dawneth surely sweet relief! And my soul, who from her height Sank to realms of woe and night, Wingeth new to heav'n her flight. Bitter anguish have I borne, Keen regret my heart hath torn, Sorrow dimm'd my weeping eyes, Satan blinded me with lies; Yet at last am I set free, Help, protection, love, to me Once more true companions be. None was ever left a prey, None was ever turn'd away, Who had given himself to God, And on Him had cast his load. Who in God his hope hath placed Shall not life in pain outwaste, Fullest joy he yet shall taste. Though to-day may not fulfil All thy hopes, have patience still, For perchance to-morrow's sun Sees thy happier days begun; As God willeth march the hours, Bringing joy at last in showers, When whate'er we ask'd is ours. Now as long as here I roam, On this earth have house and home, Shall this wondrous gleam from Thee Shine through all my memory. To my God I yet will cling, All my life the praises sing That from thankful hearts outspring. Every sorrow, every smart, That the Eternal Father's heart Hath appointed me of yore, Or hath yet for me in store, As my life flows on, I'll take Calmly, gladly for His sake, No more faithless murmurs make. I will meet distress and pain, I will greet e'en Death's dark reign, I will lay me in the grave, With a heart still glad and brave; Whom the Strongest doth defend, Whom the Highest counts His friend, Cannot perish in the end.

Oh would, my God, that I could praise Thee

Author: J. Mentzer Hymnal: CBE #5 (1863) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: Oh would, my God, that I could praise Thee With thousand tongues, by day and night! How many a song my lips should raise Thee, Who order'st all things here aright. My thankful heart would ever be Telling what God hath done for me. O all ye powers that He implanted, Arise, keep silence thus no more, Put forth the strength that He hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore; O soul and body, make ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet. Ye forest leaves so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow grasses bright and slender, Ye flowers, so wondrous sweet and fair; Ye live to show His praise alone, Help me to make His glory known. O all things that have breath and motion, That throng with life earth, sea, and sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion, Help me to raise His praises high, My utmost powers can ne'er aright Declare the wonders of His might. But I will tell, while I am living, His goodness forth with every breath, And greet each morning with thanksgiving, Until my heart is still in death, Nay, when at last my lips grow cold, His praise shall in my sighs be told. O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee, When I with angels hymn Thy praise, And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud hallelujahs to my King.
