Praise the Lord, ye Heavens Adore Him

Praise the Lord, ye heav'ns adore Him; praise Him angels in the height;
Sun and moon rejoice before Him; praise Him all ye stars of light.
Praise the Lord, for He hath spoken; worlds His mighty voice obeyed;
Laws which never shall be broken, He hath for their guidance made!

Praise the Lord, for He is glorious; never shall His promise fail!
God hath made His saints victorious, sin and death did not prevail!
Praise the God of our salvation; hosts on high His pow'r proclaim;
Heav'n and earth, and all creation, laud and magnify His name!

Worship, honor, glory, blessing, Lord, we offer unto Thee;
Young and old, Thy praise expressing; in glad homage, bend the knee.
All the saints in heav'n adore The; we now bow before Thy throne;
As thine angels  serve before Thee, so Thy will on earth is done!

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Praise to the Lord, the almighty, the King of Creation!
His people praise Him, for His their health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near,
Join us in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters us under His wings, yea so gently sustaineth?
Hast thou not seen, how our desires have been,
Granted in what He ordaineth?

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper our work and defends us,
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend us.
Ponder anew, what the Almighty hath done,
For with His love He redeemed us!

Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,
Who, when the elements madly around us are raging,
Biddeth them cease, turning their fury to peace,
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.

Praise to the Lord, oh let all those who dwell here adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen, sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him!

May the Mind of Christ, Our Savior

May the mind of Christ, our Savior, live in us from day to day;
By His love and grace controlling, all we do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly, in our hearts from hour to hour;
So that all may see we triumph, only through His power.

May the peace of God our Father, rule our lives in everything;
That we may be quick to comfort, sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill us, as the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing, this is victory!

May we run the race before us, strong and brave to face our foes;
Looking only unto Jesus, as we onward go.

May His beauty rest upon us, as we strive our Light to Shine;
And may they forget the channel, seeing only Him.

Here, O Our Lord, We See Thee Face to Face

Here, O our Lord, we see Thee face to face, here do we touch and handle things unseen;
Here see with clearer eye eternal grace, and all our weariness upon Thee lean.

Here do we feed upon the Bread of God, here drink with Thee the royal wine of heav'n;
Here do we lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.

We have no help but Thine, nor do we need, another arm save Thine to lean upon;
It is enough, Our Lord, enough indeed, Our strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

Ours was the sin, but Thine the righteousness, ours was the guilt, but Thine the cleansing Blood;
Here is our Robe, our Refuge, and our Peace, Thy Blood, Thy Righteousness, O Lord Our God!

We Gather Together

We gather together, to ask the Lord's blessing,
He chasten and hastens, His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing, now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to His name, He forsakes not His own!

Beside us, to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining, His Kingdom divine;
So from the beginning, the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader Triumphant,
We know that Thou always our Fortress will be,
For Thy congregation, endures all tribulation
Thy Name be ever praised; Thou hast made us free!

We Love Thy Kingdom, Lord

We love Thy Kingdom, Lord, the House of Thine Abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved, with His own precious Blood!

We love Thy Church, O God, Her walls be-fore Thee stand,
Dear as the Apple of Thine eye, and graven on Thy hand.

For Her our tears shall fall, for Her our prayers ascend,
To Her our toils and cares be giv'n, till toils and care shall end!

Beyond our highest joys, we prize Her heav'nly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise!

Sure as Thy truth does stand, to Zion has been giv'n,
The brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter glories of heav'n!

O Word of God Incarnate

O Word of God Incarnate, O Wisdom from on High,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O light of our deep sky;
We praise Thee for the ra-diance, that from Thy hallowed Sage,
A lantern to our foot-steps, shines on from age to age!

The Church, from her dear Master, received the Gift divine,
And still that Light she lifteth, o'er all the world to shine.
He is the golden chalice, where all our gems are stored,
He is the risen Master, He's Christ, the living Word!

He floweth like a banner, that's by God's host unfurled;
He shineth like a beacon, before a blinded world,
He is the chart and compass, that o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mist and rocks and quicksands, still guides, O God, to Thee!

Thou'st made Thy Church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest Gold;
To bear before the nations,Thy true Light as of old,
O teach Thy wandering pilgrims, by Thee their path to trace,
Till clouds and darkness ended, they see Thee face to face!
