The heavens declare Thy glory
Author: T. R. Birks, 1874 Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #8 (1913) Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare Thy glory,
The firmament Thy power;
Day unto day the story
Repeats from hour to hour;
Night unto night replying,
Proclaims in every land,
O Lord, with voice undying,
The wonders of Thy hand.
2 The sun with royal splendor
Goes forth to chant Thy praise;
And moonbeams soft and tender
Their gentler anthem raise;
O’er every tribe and nation
That music strange is poured;
The song of all creation,
To Thee, creation’s Lord.
3 How perfect, just, and holy
The precepts Thou hast given;
Still making wise the lowly,
They lift the thoughts to heaven;
How pure, how soul-restoring
Thy gospel’s heavenly ray,
A brighter radiance pouring
Than noon of brightest day!
4 Thy statutes, Lord, with gladness
Rejoice the humble heart;
And guilty fear and sadness
From contrite souls depart:
Thy word hath richer treasure
Than dwells within the mine,
And sweetness beyond measure
Attends Thy voice divine.
5 O who can make confession
Of every secret sin;
Or keep from all transgression
His spirit pure within?
But let me never boldly
From Thy commands depart,
Or render to Thee coldly
The service of my heart.
6 All heaven on high rejoices
To do its Maker’s will;
The stars with solemn voices
Resound Thy praises still;
So let my whole behavior,
Thoughts, words, and actions be,
O Lord, my Strength, my Savior,
One ceaseless song to Thee. Tune Title: [The heavens declare Thy glory]

Author: H. F. Lyte, 1831 Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #9 (1913) Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise the everlasting King.
2 Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glorious in his faithfulness.
3 Father-like He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Widely as His mercy goes.
4 Angels in the height, adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Saints triumphant, bow before Him;
Gathered in from every race.

For all I am and all I have,
The blessings that we daily gather,
E'en from our cradle to our grave;
For Thy rich grace hath scattered here
Whate'er we need to help and cheer.
2 I praise Thee, Savior, whose compassion
Hath brought Thee down to succor me;
Thy pitying heart sought my salvation,
Though keenest woes were heaped on Thee,
Wrought me from bondage full release,
Made me Thine own and gave me peace.
3 Thee, too, I praise, O Holy Spirit,
By whose deep teachings I am made
A heavenly kingdom to inherit,
Who art my comforter, my aid;
Whate'er of good by me is done
Is of Thy grace and light alone.
4 And as my life is onward gliding,
With each fresh scene anew I mark
How Thou art holding me and guiding,
Where all seems troubled, strange, and dark;
When cares oppress and hopes depart,
Thy light hath never failed my heart.
5 Shall I not then be filled with gladness,
Shall I not praise Thee evermore?
And triumph o'er all fears and sadness,
E'en when my cup of woe runs o'er?
Though heaven and earth may pass away,
I know Thy word stands fast for aye. Tune Title: [I praise Thee, O my God and Father]
I praise Thee, O my God and Father

How pleasant, how divinely fair

How pleasant, how divinely fair,
O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are!
With long desire my spirit faints
To meet th' assemblies of thy saints.
My flesh would rest in thine abode,
My panting heart cries out for God;
My God! my King! why should I be
So far from all my joys and thee?
The sparrow chooses where to rest,
And for her young provides her nest;
But will my God to sparrows grant
That pleasure which his children want?
Blest are the saints who sit on high
Around thy throne of majesty;
Thy brightest glories shine above,
And all their work is praise and love.
Blest are the souls who find a place
Within the temple of thy grace;
There they behold thy gentler rays,
And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.
Blest are the men whose hearts are set
To find the way to Zion's gate;
God is their strength, and through the road
They lean upon their helper God.
Cheerful they walk with growing strength,
Till all shall meet in heav'n at length,
Till all before thy face appear,
And join in nobler worship there.

Great God, attend, while Zion sings
The joy that from thy presence springs:
To spend one day with thee on earth
Exceeds a thousand days of mirth.
Might I enjoy the meanest place
Within thy house, O God of grace,
Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power,
Should tempt my feet to leave thy door.
God is our sun, he makes our day;
God is our shield, he guards our way
From all th' assaults of hell and sin,
From foes without and foes within.
All needful grace will God bestow,
And crown that grace with glory too!
He gives us all things, and withholds
No real good from upright souls.
O God, our King, whose sovereign sway
The glorious hosts of heav'n obey,
And devils at thy presence flee,
Blest is the man that trusts in thee.

Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of thy love,
Thy earthly temples are!
To thine abode
My heart aspires,
With warm desires
To see my God.
The sparrow for her young
With pleasure seeks a nest,
And wand'ring swallows long
To find their wonted rest:
My spirit faints
With equal zeal
To rise and dwell
Among thy saints.
O happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise thee still
And happy they
That love the way
To Zion's hill.
They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heav'n appears:
O glorious seat,
When God our King
Shall thither bring
Our willing feet!
To spend one sacred day
Where God and saints abide,
Affords diviner joy
Than thousand days beside:
Where God resorts,
I love it more
To keep the door
Than shine in courts.
God is our sun and shield,
Our light and our defence;
With gifts his hands are filled,
We draw our blessings thence:
He shall bestow
On Jacob's race
Peculiar grace
And glory too.
The Lord his people loves;
His hand no good withholds
From those his heart approves,
From pure and pious souls:
Thrice happy he,
O God of hosts,
Whose spirit trusts
Alone in thee.

Psalm 84
Our Father, throned in heaven above
Author: J. Guthrie Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #4 (1913) Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Our Father, throned in heaven above,
All glory to Thy name of love!
Thy kingdom come; Thy holy will
May earth as well as heaven fulfill.
2 Give us this day our daily food,
With all we need of promised good;
And freely all our sins remit
As we our debtors freely quit.
3 Defend us from the tempter's ways,
Uphold when tried, when fallen raise:
For power is Thine, and boundless reign,
In glory evermore, Amen. Tune Title: [Our Father, throned in heaven above]
Our Father, throned in heaven above
My soul, now bless thy Maker!
Author: J. Graumann, 1540 Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #7 (1913) Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 My soul, now bless thy Maker!
Let all within me bless His name,
Who maketh thee partaker
Of mercies more than thou dar'st claim.
Forget Him not, whose meekness
Forgiveth all thy sin;
Who healeth all thy weakness,
Renews thy life within;
Whose grace and care are endless,
And saved thee through the past;
Who leaves no sufferer friendless,
But rights the wronged at last.
2 He shows to man His treasure
Of judgment, truth, and righteousness,
His love beyond all measure,
His yearning pity o'er distress,
Nor treats us as we merit,
But lays His anger by;
The humble, contrite spirit
Finds His compassion nigh;
And high as heaven above us,
As break from close of day,
So far, since He doth love us,
He puts our sins away.
3 For, as a tender father
Hath pity on his children here,
He in His arms doth gather
All who are His in childlike fear;
He knows how frail our powers,
Who but from dust are made:
We flourish like the flowers,
And even so we fade;
A storm but o'er them passes,
And all their bloom is o'er,--
We wither like the grasses,
Our place knows us no more.
4 God's grace alone endureth,
And children's children yet shall prove
How He with strength assureth
The hearts of all that seek His love.
In heaven is fixed His dwelling,
His rule is over all;
Angels, in might excelling,
Bright hosts, before Him fall.
Praise Him who ever reigneth,
All ye who hear His Word.
Nor our poor hymns disdaineth,--
My soul, O praise the Lord! Tune Title: [My soul, now bless thy maker!]
My soul, now bless thy Maker!

Glory be to God!
O serve Him with joy, in His presence now rejoice;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!
2 Not we, but the Lord is our Maker, our God;
Glory be to God!
His people we are, and the sheep led by His rod;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!
3 O enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise;
Glory be to God!
To bless Him and thank Him our voices we will raise;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!
4 For good is the Lord, and His mercy is sure;
Glory be to God!
To all generations His truth shall still endure;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion! Tune Title: [Ye lands, to the Lord make a jubilant noise]

Before Jehovah's awful throne
Author: I. Watts Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #14 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah’s awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and He destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to His fold again.
3 We are His people, we His care,
Our souls and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to Thy name?
4 We’ll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is Thy command,
Vast as eternity Thy love;
Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move. Languages: English Tune Title: [Before Jehovah's awful throne]

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee
Author: F. S. Key Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #15 (1913) Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee,
For the bliss Thy love bestows,
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows:
Help, O God, my weak endeavor;
This dull soul to rapture raise:
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.
2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away;
Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.
3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express;
Low before Thy footstool kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless:
Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure,
Love’s pure flame within me raise;
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth Thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee]

Rejoice today with one accord

Sing out with exultation!
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation.
The greatness of His name
His works of love proclaim:
His goodness He hath shown,
And He is God alone;
Let all His saints adore Him.
2 When in distress to Him we cried,
He heard our sad complaining;
O trust in Him, whate’er betide,
His love is all-sustaining;
Our hearts to Him shall raise
Triumphant songs of praise;
And let all voices say,
"O praise the Lord alway,"
Let all His saints adore Him.

Sing loud Hallelujah in jubilant chorus
Author: J. Agricola Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #19 (1913) Topics: Worship in General Prayer and Praise Lyrics: 1 Sing loud Hallelujah in jubilant chorus,
Ye nations, O sing to the Lord who reigns o'er us!
His merciful kindness and grace he revealeth,
He pardons our sins, and our sorrows He healeth.
2 O lift up your voices in strains of thanksgiving!
Let praises ascend to our God ever living!
Now life and salvation from Hiim we inherit,
In Jesus, His Son, through His death and His merit.
3 Of mercy and grace God alone is the giver,
And all who believe, He will surely deliver;
His truth standeth fast, and it faileth us never:
His mercy endureth for ever and ever.
4 All glory and praise to the Father be given,
The Son, and the Spirit, from earth and from heaven;
As was, and is now, be supreme adoration,
And ever shall be, to the God of salvation. Languages: English Tune Title: [Sing Loud Hallelujah in jubilant chorus]
