Join, every tongue, to praise the Lord
O Lord, how glorious is thy name
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XVII (1789) Topics: Creation, Preservation, and temporal Blessings The peculiar Goodness of God to Mankind Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how glorious is thy name,
Through the wide earth's extended frame1
Majestick glories form they seat,
And heaven adores beneath thy feet.
2 When all thy shining works on high
We meditate with raptur'd eye;
The silver moon, the starry train,
Which gild the fair etherial plain:
3 Lord, what is man, that he should share
Thy notice, thy indulgent care?
That man, frail child of earth, should be
The favourite of the Deity?
4 His place, thy forming hand assign'd,
But just below th' angelick kind;
With noblest favours circled round,
And with distinguish'd honours crown'd,
5 Invested him with power and sway,
And bid the subject brutes obey;
Sovereign of all thy works below,
To him the meaner creatures bow;
6 The blessing flocks, the lowing herds,
The gliding fish, the flying birds;
All that the earth's wide circuit yields,
Natives of air, or seas, or fields.
7 But still let man, adoring, own
That Thou, O Lord, art King alone;
And through the earth's extended frame
Declare the glories of thy name.

O Lord, how glorious is thy name
I was a wand'ring sheep
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #99 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Goodness of God in the mission of Christ Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I did not love the fold,
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controll'd:
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home,
I did not love my Father's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child,
He follow'd me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild;
He found me nigh to death,
Famish'd, and faint, and lone;
He bound me with the bands of love,
He saved the wand'ring one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is,
'Twas He that loved my soul,
'Twas He that wash'd me in His blood,
'Twas He that made me whole;
'Twas He that sought the lost,
That found the wand'ring sheep,
'Twas He that brought me to the fold--
'Tis He that still doth keep.
4 No more a wand'ring sheep,
I love to be controll'd,
I love my tender Shepherd's voice,
I love the peaceful fold:
No more a wayward child,
I seek no more to roam,
I love my Heavenly Father's voice--
I love, I love His home. Languages: English

Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #101 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Goodness of God in the mission of Christ Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
How high Thy wonders rise!
Known through the earth by thousand signs,
By thousand through the skies.
2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power,
Their motions speak Thy skill,
And on the wings of ev'ry hour
We read Thy patience still.
3 When sinners break the Father's law,
Thy dying Son atones;
Oh, the dear mysteries of His cross!
The triumph of His groans!
4 Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains;
Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.
5 Oh, may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!
Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue. Languages: English
Father, how wide Thy glory shines!

"Nor scorn their humble name;
For 'twas to bless such souls as these,
The Lord of angels came."
3 We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands,
And yield them up to Thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are Thine,
Thine let our offspring be.

O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #373 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Goodness of God a ground of trust Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more!
The light of His countenance shineth so bright,
That here, as in heaven, there need be no night.
2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear;
I tremble no more when I see Jesus near;
I know that His presence my safeguard will be,
For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me.
3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found,
When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round:
They bear me away in His presence to be:
I see Him still nearer whom always I see.
4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace
Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face;
I shall know how His love went before me each day,
And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away. Languages: English

on your grace I rest my plea;
your compassions overflow,
blot out my transgressions now;
wash me, make me pure within,
cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
2 My transgressions I confess,
grief and guilt my soul oppress;
I have sinned against your grace
and provoked you to your face;
I confess your judgment just,
speechless, in your mercy trust.
3 I am evil, born in sin;
you desire all truth within.
You alone my Savior are,
teach your wisdom to my heart;
make me pure, your grace bestow,
wash me whiter than the snow.
4 Broken, humbled to the dust
by your wrath and judgment just,
let my contrite heart rejoice
and in gladness hear your voice;
from my sins, O hide your face,
blot them out in boundless grace.
5 Gracious God, my heart renew,
make my spirit right and true;
let me not abandoned be,
let your Spirit dwell in me;
your salvation's joy impart,
steadfast make my willing heart.
6 Sinners then shall learn from me
and to God restored shall be;
Savior, all my guilt remove,
and my tongue shall sing your love;
touch my silent lips, O Lord,
and my mouth shall praise accord.
7 No attempted sacrifice
has acceptance in your eyes;
broken hearts are in your sight
more than sacrificial rite;
contrite spirit, pleading cries,
you, O God, will not despise.
8 Prosper Zion in your grace
and her broken walls replace;
then our righteous sacrifice
shall delight your holy eyes;
freewill off'rings, gladly made,
on your altar shall be laid. Languages: English Tune Title: GETHSEMANE

Rejoicing in God
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Joy and Rejoicing; Glorifying in the Lord alone; Happiness In Good; Joy and rejoicing; Rejoicing in God First Line: The righteous Lord, supremely great Lyrics: 1 The righteous Lord, supremely great,
Maintains his universal state;
O'er all the earth his power extends,
All heaven before his footstool bends.
2 Yet justice still with power presides,
And mercy all his empire guides;
Mercy and truth are his delight,
And saints are lovely in his sight.
3 No more, ye wise, your wisdom boast;
No more, ye strong, your valour trust;
No more, ye rich, survey their store,
Elate with heaps of shining ore.
4 Glory, ye saints, in this alone,
That God, your God, to you is known;
That you have own'd his sovereign sway,
That you have felt his cheering ray.
5 Our wisdom, wealth, and power I find,
In one Jehovah, all combin'd;
On him we fix our roving eyes,
And all our souls in rapture rise.
6 All else, which we our treasure call,
May in one fatal moment fall;
But what their happiness can move,
Whom God the blessed deigns to love?

Rejoicing in God
Though wicked Men grow rich or great
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXVII (1767) Topics: Description of Blessings promised to the Pious and Charitable; Description of Vanity of earthly Goods and Benefits; Prayers Of the Church Particularly of Believers when offended at the Prosperity of the Wicked; Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked; Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Though wicked Men grow rich or great,
Yet let not their successful State,
Thy Anger or thy Envy, raise;
Howe'er they boast of blissful Days:
For they cut down like tender Grass,
Shall find their Glories quickly pass;
Or like a Flow'r that droops its Head,
Whose Beauty soon begins to fade.
2 Depend on GOD, and Him obey,
So thou within the Land shalt stay;
Secure from Danger, and from Want,
And he shall thy Petitions grant:
Make His Commands thy chief Delight,
And then thy Duty to requite;
To thee in Mercy he'll impart,
The secret Wishes of thy Heart.
3 In all thy Ways trust thou the Lord,
And he will needful Help afford;
All thy Concerns to him resign,
Who'll perfect ev'ry just Design:
He'll make, as Light, serene and clear,
Thy clouded Innocence appear;
And will thy Righteousness display,
Bright as the Sun's meridian Ray.
4 With quiet Mind on GOD depend,
And patiently for him attend;
Nor let it e'er thy Anger raise,
When those who follow sinful Ways,
With large Possessions still abound,
And with Prosperity are crown'd;
But let thy Soul at once despise
Them and the Plots which they devise.
5 From Anger cease, and Wrath forsake;
Let no ungovern'd Passion make
Thy wav'ring Heart espouse their Crime.
But trust in GOD, and wait his Time;
For he shall sinful Men destroy;
Whilst only they the Land enjoy,
Who humbly seek the LORD most high,
And with firm Hope on him rely.
6 How soon shall wicked Men decay!
Their Place shall vanish quite away;
Nor shall, by the strictest Search, be seen,
The Traces where thy once have been:
Whilst humble Souls possess the Earth,
Rejoicing still with Godly Mirth;
With Plenty they shall still abound,
With gentle Peace be ever crown'd.
Part II
7 While sinful Crouds, with false Design,
Against the righteous few combine,
And gnash their Teeth, and daring stand,
To shake the vengeful threat'ning Hand;
GOD shall their empty Plots deride,
And laugh at their defeated pride;
And while his Justice they defy,
He sees their utter Ruin nigh.
8 They draw the Sword, and bend the Bow,
The Poor and Needy to o'erthrow;
They practise Mischief ev'ry Day,
The Men of upright Lives to slay:
But their strong Bows shall soon be broke,
Their sharpen'd Weapon's mortal Stroke,
Shall back to their own Bosoms turn,
And make their Hearts with Anguish burn.
9 A little, with God's Favour bless'd,
That's by a righteous Man possess'd,
Is always to be valued more
Than all the Sinner's costly Store:
For GOD supports the just Man's Cause;
But as for those that break his Laws,
On them he will his Vengeance show'r
And quell their unsuccessful Pow'r.
10 His constant Care the Upright guides,
And over all their Life presides;
Their Portion shall for ever last;
Their Fruits of Plenty they shall taste;
And when Distress o'erwhelms the Earth,
Shall be unmov'd; and ev'n in Dearth,
The LORD shall all their Wants supply,
And make their Hearts o'erflow with Joy.
11 Not so the wicked Men, and those,
Who proudly dare GOD's Will oppose:
Destruction is their certain Lot;
Their very Names shall be forgot:
Like Fat of Lambs, their Hopes and they
Shall in an Instant melt away;
Like Smoke, that vanishes in Air,
So shall they quickly disappear.
Part III
12 While Sinners, brought to sad Decay,
Still borrow on, and never pay;
The Just have Pow'r and Will to give,
And shall in flowing Plenty live:
For such as GOD vouchsafes to bless,
Shall peaceably the Earth possess;
And those he curses, shall not stand,
But fall by his Almighty Hand,
13 The good Man's Way is GOD's Delight;
He orders all the Steps aright,
Of him, who moves by his Command,
And still upholds him with his Hand:
Though he sometimes may be distress'd,
Yet shall he ne'er be quite oppress'd;
Since GOD with Help is always nigh,
For those who on his Pow'r rely.
14 Though Age doth o'er my Youth prevail,
Yet saw I ne'er the Righteous fail,
Or Want o'ertake his num'rous Race;
GOD made his offspring's Wealth increase;
Because Compassion fill'd his Heart,
And he did chearfully impart,
Thus GOD in Mercy is inclin'd;
To those who keep a gen'rous Mind.
15 With Caution shun each wicked Deed,
In virtuous Ways with Zeal proceed,
For GOD, who Judgment loves, does still
Preserve his Saints secure from Ill;
And never will forsake the Just,
Who place in him their only Trust;
But wicked Men shall soon decay,
And like vain Shadows pass away.
16 The Upright shall possess the Land,
His Portion shall for ever stand;
The Lord shall his Protection be,
And he shall walk from Danger free;
His Tongue by Rules of Judgment moves;
His Heart the Law of God approves;
His Mouth with Wisdom is supply'd,
And his sure Steps shall never slide.
Part IV
17 In wait the watchful Sinner lies,
In Hopes the Righteous to surprize;
But all his Schemes must prove in vain,
For he shall not his Purpose gain;
God will not him defenceless leave,
But when he's judged will reprieve;
His Faults in Mercy he will see,
And From Destruction set him free.
18 Still on the LORD with Hope rely,
And he shall all thy Wants supply;
Wait thou on him, keep his Command,
And then exalted in the Land,
A large Possession thou shalt gain,
And from thy Foes secure remain:
While wicked Men destroy'd shall be,
And thou their dismal Fall shalt see.
19 The Wicked I in Pow'r have seen,
And like a Bay-Tree fresh and green,
That spreads its pleasant Branches round,
Ev'n so was he with Plenty crown'd;
But he was gone as quick as Thought,
And, tho' I diligently fought,
Yet could I, by no Sign or Trace,
Or any Mark, find out his Place.
20 Observe the perfect Man with Care,
And mark all such as upright are;
Their roughest Days in Peace shall end,
And happy Hours on them attend:
Whilst on the latter End of those,
Who dare GOD's holy Will oppose,
A common Ruin, soon or late,
Shall surely be their dismal Fate.
21 GOD, to the Just will Help afford,
Their only Safe-guard is the LORD;
Their Strength in Time of Need is he,
Who will from Danger set them free:
Because on him they still depend,
The LORD will timely Succour send:
The Wicked thus shall ne'er prevail,
Nor shall the Righteous ever fail. Scripture: Psalm 37 Languages: English Tune Title: [Though wicked Men grow rich and great]
Though wicked Men grow rich or great
My Soul for Help on GOD relies
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXII (1767) Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers at all Times; Description of Hyprocisy; Description of Vanity of earthly Goods and Benefits; Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 My Soul for Help on GOD relies,
On GOD, who daily Strength supplies.
To his blest Will I am resigned;
From Him alone my Courage flows,
To bear the Shock of all my Foes,
When they against me are combined.
2 How long will ye my Fall contrive?
How long will ye against me strive,
And hasten on your own unding?
You'll totter like a bending Wall,
Like uncemented Stones shall fall,
And lie involv'd in sudden Ruin.
3 They daily Lies against me frame,
With Falshoods wound my spotless Name,
In secret still my Fall designing:
They strive to make my Honours less,
Though with their Mouths they seem to bless,
Their hearts to Curses are inclining.
4 But thou, my Soul, on GOD rely,
Who does continual Strength supply;
To his blest Will be thou resigned:
From him alone my Courage flows,
To bear the Shock of all my Foes,
When they against me are combined.
Part II
5 GOD does His saving Health dispense,
He is my Fortress and Defence;
My Soul on him alone depending:
In him ye People always trust,
For GOD, the merciful and just,
His timely Aid is ever sending.
6 The Vulgar fickle are and frail;
The great Ones oft in Judgment fail,
Or else are treach'rously betraying:
If in the Scale of Truth they're laid,
'Tis seen how lightly both are made,
The smallest Trifles them outweighing.
7 Then trust not in oppressive Ways,
Nor strive by lawless Force to raise,
Your growing Heaps of ill-got Treasure:
By Spoil and Rapine grow not vain,
Nor let your Hearts on worldly Gain,
Be fixt with such Delight and Pleasure.
8 For GOD has oft his Will express'd,
And is of boundless Pow'r possess'd;
In him are Grace and Truth united:
Belongs, of Right, to God alone.
Though Mercy is his Works takes Place,
Yet for their Deeds, the human Race,
Shall by his Justice be requited. Scripture: Psalm 62 Languages: English Tune Title: [My soul for help on God relies]
