394. Our Glorious King. Psalm 145. C.M.
1.I will extol Thee, O my God,
And praise Thee, O my King;
Yea, every day and evermore
Thy praises I will sing.
Great is the Lord, our mighty God,
And greatly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable,
Above all glory raised.
2.Each generation to the next
Shall testimony bear,
And to Thy praise, from age to age,
Thy wondrous acts declare.
Upon Thy glorious majesty
And honor I will dwell,
And all Thy grand and glorious works
And all Thy greatness tell.
3.Thy mighty acts and terrible
Shall men with awe confess;
Of Thy great goodness they shall sing,
And perfect righteousness.
Most gracious and compassionate
Is God Who reigns above;
His wrath is ever slow to rise,
Unbounded is His love.
401. The One True Helper. Psalm 146. L.M.
1.Praise ye the Lord, His praise
proclaim,
And, O my soul, bless thou His Name;
Yea, I will sound His praise abroad
And ever bless the Lord, my God.
2.Trust not in man who soon must die,
But on the living God rely;
Most blest the man whose help is He
That made the heaven and earth and sea.
3.His truth unchanged shall ever
stand,
He saves from strong oppression's hand,
In Him the sad a helper find,
He feeds the poor and heals the blind.
4.Thy God shall reign for evermore,
Praise Him, O Zion, and adore;
The Lord is heaven's eternal King,
To Him all praise and honor bring.
221. Longing for Revival. Psalm 80. 11s.
1.Great Shepherd Who leadest Thy
people in love,
'Mid cherubim dwelling, shine Thou from above;
In might come and save us, Thy people restore,
And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
2.O haste, Lord, to hear us and pity
our woes,
Affliction our portion, despised by our foes;
O Lord, God Almighty, in mercy restore,
And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
3.When Thou shalt revive us Thy Name
we will praise,
And nevermore, turning, depart from Thy ways;
O Lord God almighty, in mercy restore,
And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
27. God the Highest Good. Psalm 16. C.M.
1.O God, preserve me, for in Thee
Alone my trust has stood;
My soul has said, Thou art my Lord,
My chief and only good.
2.I love Thy saints, who fear Thy
Name
And walk as in Thy sight;
They are the excellent of earth,
In them is my delight.
3.Their sorrows shall be multiplied
Who worship aught but Thee;
I share not in their offerings,
Nor join their company.
4.The Lord is my inheritance,
The Lord alone remains
The fullness of my cup of bliss;
The Lord my lot maintains.
5.The lines are fallen unto me
In places large and fair;
A goodly heritage is mine,
Marked out with gracious care
239. The Church of Christ. Psalm 87. 7s.
1.Zion, on the holy hills,
God, thy Maker, loves thee well;
All thy courts His presence fills,
He delights in thee to dwell.
Wondrous shall thy glory be,
City blest of God, the Lord;
Nations shall be born in thee,
Unto life from death restored.
2.When the Lord the names shall write
Of thy sons, a countless throng,
God Most High will thee requite,
He Himself will make thee strong.
Then in song and joyful mirth
Shall Thy ransomed sons agree,
Singing forth throughout the earth,
"All my fountains are in thee."
134. Praise and Trust. Psalm 48. S.M.
1.Within Thy temple, Lord,
in that most holy place,
We on Thy lovingkindness dwell,
The wonders Thy grace.
Men sing Thy praise, O God,
Where'er Thy Name is known;
By every deed Thy hand hath wrought
Thy righteousness is shown.
2.Let Zion now rejoice,
And all her children sing;
Let them with thankfulness proclaim
The judgments of their King.
Mount Zion's walls behold,
About her ramparts go,
And number ye the lofty towers
That guard her from the foe.
3.Observe her palaces,
Mark her defenses well,
That to the sons that follow you
Her glories you may tell;
For God as our own God
Forever will abide,
And till life's journey close in death
Will be our faithful guide.
390. Earnest Desire and Supplication. Psalm 143. 6s.
1.Lord, hear me in distress,
Regard my suppliant cry,
And in Thy faithfulness
And righteousness reply.
In judgment do not cause
Thy servant to be tried;
Before Thy holy laws
No man is justified.
2.To Thee I stretch my hands,
Let me not plead in vain;
I wait as weary lands
Wait for refreshing rain.
O let the morn return,
Let mercy light my day;
For Thee in faith I yearn,
O guide me in the way.
3.By Thy good Spirit led
From trouble and distress,
My erring feet shall tread
The path of uprightness.
O Lord, for Thy Name's sake
Revive my fainting heart;
My soul from trouble take,
For just and true Thou art.
318. Thoughts for the Sanctuary. Psalm 118. C.M.
1.The glorious gates of righteousness
Throw open unto me,
And I will enter them with praise,
O Lord, my God, to Thee.
2.This is Thy templegate, O Lord,
The just shall enter there;
My Saviour, I will give Thee thanks,
O Thou that hearest prayer.
3.The stone rejected and despised
Is now the cornerstone;
How wondrous are the ways of God,
Unfathomed and unknown!
4.In this the day that Thou hast made
Triumphantly we sing;
Send now prosperity, O Lord,
O Lord, salvation bring.
5.Hosanna! Ever blest be He
That cometh in God's Name,
The blessing of Jehovah's house
Upon you we proclaim.
6.The light of joy to shine on us
The Lord our God hath made;
Now be the precious sacrifice
Upon His altar laid.
7.O Lord, my God, I praise Thy Name,
All other names above;
O give Him thanks, for He is good
And boundless is His love.
