Fairest Lord Jesus
Author: Anonymous; Lilian Stevenson, 1870-1960 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #366 (2010) Meter: 5.6.9.5.5.8 Topics: General Hymns Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: CRUSADER'S HYMN
Fairest Lord Jesus
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #382 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: General Hymns Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
with angels round the throne;
ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
but all their joys are one.
2 'Worthy the Lamb that died,' they cry,
'to be exalted thus;'
'Worthy the Lamb,' our lips reply,
'for he was slain for us.'
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
honour and power divine;
and blessings, more than we can give,
be, Lord, for ever thine.
4 Let all creation join in one
to bless the sacred name
of him that sits upon the throne,
and to adore the Lamb. Languages: English Tune Title: NATIVITY
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #385 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: General Hymns Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed,
for all who suffer for the gospel's sake,
that Christ may show us how to serve them best
in that one kingdom Satan cannot shake.
But how much more than us they have to give,
who by their dying show us how to live.
2 Pray for Christ's dissidents, who daily wait,
as Jesus waited in the olive grove,
the unjust trial, the pre-determined fate,
the world's contempt for reconciling love.
Shall all they won for us, at such a cost,
be by our negligence or weakness lost?
3 Pray that if times of testing should lay bare
what sort we are, who call ourselves his own,
we may be counted worthy then to wear,
with quiet fortitude, Christ's only crown:
the crown that in his saints he wears again —
the crown of thorns that signifies his reign. Languages: English Tune Title: UNDE ET MEMORES
Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed
I praise Thee, O my God and Father
Author: J. Mentzer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #10 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Worship in General; Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Praise and Prayer; Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 I praise Thee, O my God and Father,
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
Ye lands, to the Lord make a jubilant noise

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]

Our thanks and praise to Thee be given
Author: Philip Melanchton; P. Eber Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #24 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Angels; Praise and Prayer; Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Our thanks and praise to Thee be given,
Thou Lord of earth and Lord of heaven,
For countless hosts of angels bright,
That serve Thy Son in cloudless light.
2 Pure in their nature, good, and true,
'Tis their delight Thy will to do;
From heaven they come the souls to guard
That trust in Thy most holy word.
3 They joy when but one sinner turns;
Their zeal for Jesus ever burns;
They serve His people night and day,
And turn full many an ill away.
4 All little ones, awake, asleep,
And every child of thine, they keep;
O'er all thy kingdom, far and near,
They give their kind and loving care.
5 When death approaches, then they come,
To soften pain, and guide us home;
And when the spirit leaves the clay,
To waft us to the realms of day.
6 Give us, O Lord, the grace and power
To serve Thee well each day and hour;
Grant us the seal and fervent love
To serve as angels serve above.
7 Let these good spirits with us be,
When in Thy house we worship Thee;
And bid them all our path defend
Till this our life on earth shall end. Languages: English Tune Title: [Our thanks and praise to Thee be given]
Our thanks and praise to Thee be given

Ye nations, O sing to the Lord who reigns o'er us!

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]

With ever joyful hearts,
And blessed peace to cheer us;

And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills,
In this world and the next.

Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore! Tune Title: [Now thank we all our God]

To GOD your grateful Voices raise
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CVII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence; Thanksgivings For Delerances and Wonders, General Lyrics: 1 To GOD your grateful Voices raise,
Who does your Patron prove;
And let your never ceasing Praise
Attend his endless Love.
Let those give Thanks, whom he from Bands
Of haughty Foes releas'd;
And brought them back from distant Lands,
From North, South, West and East.
2 Through lonely desart Ways they went,
Nor could a City find;
'Till quite with Thirst and Hunger spent,
Their Souls within them pin'd.
Then soon to GOD's indulgent Ear
Did they their Cry address;
Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear,
And freed them from Distress.
3 From crooked Paths he led them forth,
And did their Footsteps guide;
To wealthy Towns of great Resort,
Where they were well supply'd.
Oh then, that all the Earth, with me,
Would GOD's great Mercy praise;
And ALL the mighty Works, which he
Throughout the World displays.
4 For he beholds the longing Souls,
Their Wants he satisfies;
The hungry Soul, e'en to the full,
With Goodness he supplies.
10 Some lie, with Darkness compass'd round,
In Death's tremendous Shade;
And with unwieldy Fetters bound,
By Cares more heavy made.
5 Because GOD's Counsel they defy'd,
And lightly priz'd his Word,
They fell, and were with Sorrows try'd,
Where none could Help afford.
Then soon to God's indulgent Ear
They did their Cry address;
Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear,
And freed them from Distress.
6 From dismal Dungeons, dark as Night,
And Black as Death's Abode,
He brought them forth, to chearful Light,
And Liberty bestow'd.
Oh then that all the Earth, with me
Would GOD's great Mercy praise,
And all the mighty Works, which he
Throughout the World displays!
7 For he, with his Almighty Hand,
The Gates in Pieces broke;
Nor could the Bars of brass withstand,
Or Steel resist his Stroke.
Part II
8 Remorseless Wretches, void of Sense,
With Boldness GOD defy;
And for their multiply'd Offence,
Oppress'd with sickness lie.
Their Soul, a Prey to Pain and Fear,
Abhors the choicest Meats;
And they by faint Degrees draw near
To Death's most dreadful Gates.
9 Then straight to GOD's indulgent Ear,
They do their Cry address;
Who graciously vouchsafes to hear,
And free them from Distress.
He all their sad Distempers heals,
And Health and Safety gives;
And when all human Succour fails,
Their Souls from Death retrieves.
10 Oh then, that all the Earth, with me
Would GOD's great Mercy praise;
And all his wondrous Works, which he
Throughout the World displays!
With Off'rings let his Altar flame,
Whilst they their Thanks express;
And with loud Joy, his holy Name,
For all his Wonders bless.
Part III
13 They that in Ships, with Courage bold,
Through Seas their Trade pursue,
Do GOD's amazing Works behold,
And fearful Wonders view.
No sooner his Command is past,
But forth the Tempest flies;
Which sweeps the Sea with rapid Haste,
And makes the Billows rise.
12 Sometimes the Ships, toss'd up to Heav'n,
On Mountain Waves appear;
Then down the steep Abyss are driv'n,
Each Soul dissolves with Fear.
They reel and stagger to and fro,
Like Men with Wine oppress'd;
Nor do the skilful Seamen know,
Which Course to steer, is best.
14 Then straight to GOD's indulgent Ear
They do their Cry address;
Who graciously vouchsafes to hear,
And free them from Distress.
He does the raging Storm appease,
And makes the Billows still;
With Joy they see their Fury cease,
Their Voyage they fulfil.
14 Oh then, that all the Earth, with me
Would GOD's great Mercy praise,
And all the mighty Works, which he
Throughout the World displays!
Let them, where all the Tribes resort,
Advance his glorious Name,
And in the Elders sov'reign Court,
With Joy his Praise proclaim.
Part IV
15 A fruitful Land, where Streams abound,
GOD, if People sin,
Will turn to dry and barren Ground,
And punish those therein:
The parch'd and desart Heath, he makes
To smile springing Wells;
Which for his Lot the Hungry takes,
And in strong Cities dwells.
16 He sows the Fields, the Vineyard plants,
Which all his Toil repay;
Nor can, while GOD his Blessing grants,
His Seed or Stock decay.
But when his Sins Heav'n's Wrath provoke,
His Substance fades away;
He feels th'Oppressor's gauling Yoke,
And falls to Grief a Prey.
17 The Prince that slights what GOD commands,
Must quickly leave his Throne;
And over wild and desart Lands
Abandon'd stray alone.
Whilst GOD from all afflicting Cares
Sets humble Men on high;
And makes in Time his num'rous Heirs
With num'rous Flocks to vie.
18 Then Sinners shall have nought to say,
The Just their Joy shall show;
The Wise these strange Events shall weigh,
And GOD's great Mercy know.
