Thou art my portion, O my God!
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, O my God!
Soon as I know Thy way,
My heart makes haste to obey Thy word,
And suffers no delay.
2 I choose the path of heavenly truth,
And glory in my choice;
Not all the riches of the earth
Could make me so rejoice.
3 The testimonies of Thy grace
I set before mine eyes:
Thence I derive my daily strength,
And there my comfort lies.
4 If once I wander from Thy path
I think upon my ways;
Then turn my feet to Thy commands,
And trust Thy pardoning grace.
5 Now I am Thine, for ever Thine:
O save Thy servant, Lord!
Thou art my Shield, my Hiding-place;
My hope is in Thy Word.
6 Thou hast inclined this heart of mine
Thy statutes to fulfil;
And thus, till mortal life shall end,
Would I perform Thy will. Topics: The Christian Life Consecration; Seventh Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: GLOUCESTER

I To The Hills Will Lift Mine Eyes
This is the day the Lord hath made
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 595 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours His own:
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.
2 To-day He rose and left the dead,
And Satan's empire fell;
To-day the saints His triumph spread,
And all His wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David's holy Son;
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring
Salvation from Thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes in God His Father's name,
To save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
The Church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens, in which He reigns,
Shall give Him nobler praise.

To thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To thee I’ll cry, O Lord, my rock;
hold not thy peace to me;
lest like those who to death go down
I by thy silence be.
2 The voice hear of my humble prayers,
when unto thee I cry;
when to thy holy oracle
I lift mine hands on high.
3 With ill men draw me not away
that work iniquity;
that speak peace to their friends, while in
their hearts doth mischief lie.
4 Give them according to their deeds
and evil of their way;
after the work of their own hands
do thou to them repay.
5 God shall not build, but them destroy,
who would not understand
the Lord’s own works, nor did regard
the doing of his hand.
6 For ever blessed be the Lord,
for graciously he heard
the voice of my petitions, and
my prayers did regard.
7 The Lord’s my strength and shield; my heart
upon him did rely;
and I am helped: hence my heart
doth joy exceedingly,
and with my song I will him praise.
8 Their strength is God alone:
he also is the saving strength
of his anointed one.
9 O thine own people do thou save.
Bless thine inheritance;
them also do thou feed, and them
for evermore advance. Scripture: Psalm 28 Used With Tune: GLOUCESTER
To thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock

Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart
the Lord’s praise I'll declare,
where the assemblies of the just
and congregations are.
2 The doings of Jehovah are
exceeding great in might;
sought out they are of every one
that doth therein delight.
3 His work most honourable is,
most glorious and pure,
and his untainted righteousness
for ever doth endure.
4 His works most wondrous he hath made
remembered still to be,
the Lord is most compassionate,
and merciful is he.
5 He giveth meat unto all those
that truly do him fear;
and evermore his covenant
he in his mind will bear.
6 He did the power of his works
unto his people show,
when he the heathen’s heritage
upon them did bestow.
7 His hand's works all are truth and right,
all his commands are sure:
8 and, done in truth and uprightness,
they evermore endure.
9 He sent redemption to his folk,
his covenant set for aye:
holy and reverend is his name
to be adored alway.
10 Wisdom’s beginning is God’s fear:
and wise in heart are they
who his most holy precepts keep:
his praise endures for aye. Scripture: Psalm 111 Used With Tune: GLOUCESTER
Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart
And shall we then go on to sin
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And shall we then go on to sin,
that grace may more abound?
Great God, forbid that such a thought
should in our breast be found!
2 When to the sacred font we came,
did not the rite proclaim,
that, wash'd from sin, and all its stains,
new creatures we became?
3 With Christ the Lord we dy'd to sin;
with him to life we rise,
to life, which now begun on earth,
is perfect in the skies.
4 Too long enthrall'd to Satan’s sway,
we now are slaves no more;
for Christ hath vanquish'd death and sin,
our freedom to restore.
Scripture: Romans 6:1-7 Used With Tune: GLOUCESTER
And shall we then go on to sin
