Lord God, to You We All Give Praise

Author: Philipp Melanchthon, 1497-1560; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #196 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: St. Michael and All Angels; St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Lord God, to you we all give praise; To you our joyful hymns we raise That angel hosts you did create Around your glorious throne to wait. 2 They shine with light and heav'nly grace And constantly behold your face. They heed your voice; they know it well; In godly wisdom they excel. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be With you, Lord Jesus, and to keep Your little flock, your lambs and sheep. 4 The ancient dragon is their foe; His envy and his wrath they know. So now he subtly lies in wait To ruin school and church and state. 5 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on ev'ry hand To guard his people where they go And break the counsel of the foe. 6 O Lord, awaken songs of praise For angel hosts that guard our days; Teach us to serve you and adore As angels do forevermore.

Can we know that thou art near us, and wilt hear us? Yea, we can. 3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest o'er each work of thine; thou didst ears and hands and voices for thy praise design; craftsman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine. 4 In thy house, great God, we offer of thine own to thee; and for thine acceptance proffer all unworthily hearts and minds and hands and voices in our choicest psalmody. 5 Honour, glory, might, and merit thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, blessèd Trinity.

How shall I sing that majesty

Author: John Mason (c. 1645-1694) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #663 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Saints St Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire? Let dust in dust and silence lie; sing, sing, ye heavenly choir. Thousands of thousands stand around thy throne, O God most high; ten thousand times ten thousand sound thy praise; but who am I? 2 Thy brightness unto them appears, whilst I thy footsteps trace; a sound of God comes to my ears, but they behold thy face. They sing, because thou art their Sun; Lord, send a beam on me; for where heaven is but once begun there alleluias be. 3 Enlighten with faith's light my heart, inflame it with love's fire; then shall I sing and bear a part with that celestial choir. I shall, I fear, be dark and cold, with all my fire and light; yet when thou dost accept their gold, Lord, treasure up my mite. 4 How great a being, Lord, is thine, which doth all beings keep! Thy knowledge is the only line to sound so vast a deep. Thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere; thy time is now and evermore, thy place is everywhere.
