1

Begin, my tongue, some heav'nly theme,

Speak some boundless thing

The mighty works, or mightier name,

Of our eternal King.

2

Tell of His wondrous faithfulness,

And sound His pow'r abroad

Sing the sweet promise of His grace,

The love and truth of God.

3

His very word of grace is strong

As that which built the skies

The voice that rolls the stars along

Speaks all the promises.

4

O might I hear Thy heavenly tongue

But whisper, "Thou art Mine,"

Those gentle words should raise my song

To notes almost divine. Amen.

1

O splendor of God's glory bright,

From light eternal bringing light

O Light of life, light's living spring,

True day, all days illumining.

2

Confirm our will to do the right,

And keep our hearts from envy's blight

Let faith her eager fires renew,

And hate the false, and love and true.

3

O joyful be the passing day

With thoughts as clear as morning's ray,

With faith like noontide shining bright,

Our souls unshadowed by the night.

4

All praise to God the Father be,

All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,

Whom, with the Spirit, we adore

Forever and forevermore. Amen.

1

We are never, never weary of the grand old song

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We can sing it loud as ever, with our faith more strong:

Glory to God, hallelujah!

O, the children of the Lord have a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright and our souls are on the wing

We are going by and by to the palace of a King!

Glory to God, hallelujah!

2

We are lost amid the rapture of redeeming love

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We are rising on its pinons to the hills above:

Glory to God, hallelujah!

O, the children of the Lord have a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright and our souls are on the wing

We are going by and by to the palace of a King!

Glory to God, hallelujah!

3

We are going to a palace that is built of gold

Glory to God, hallelujah!

Where the King in all His splendor we shall soon behold:

Glory to God, hallelujah!

O, the children of the Lord have a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright and our souls are on the wing

We are going by and by to the palace of a King!

Glory to God, hallelujah!

4

There we'll shout redeeming mercy in a glad, new song

Glory to God, hallelujah!

There we'll sing the praise of Jesus with the blood-washed throng:

Glory to God, hallelujah!

O, the children of the Lord have a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright and our souls are on the wing

We are going by and by to the palace of a King!

Glory to God, hallelujah!

And publish abroad His wonderful name

The name all victorious of Jesus extol

And still He is nigh- His presence we have

The great congregation His triumph shall sing,

Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.

Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son

The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,

Fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb.

All glory and power, all wisdom and might

All honor and blessing, with angles above,

And thanks never ceasing, for infinite love, Amen.

Fears the Lord with joy and love! Amen

1

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,

O Thou of God and man the Son

Thee will I honor,

Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.

2

Fair are the meadows, Fairer still the wood lands,

Robed in the blooming garb of spring

Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,

Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

3

Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moon light,

And all the twinkling, starry host

Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer,

Than all the angels heaven can boast. Amen.

With ev'ry tuneful song!

With ev'ry note you raise

My heart is filled with rapture,

My soul is lost in praise!

Till in our Father's kingdom

We sing a nobler song!

Where those we love are waiting

To greet us on the shore,

We'll meet beyond the river,

Where surges roll no more.

Sing on: oh, blissful music!

With ev'ry note you raise

My heart is filled with rapture,

My soul is lost in praise!

Sing on: oh, blissful music!

With ev'ry note you raise

My heart is filled with rapture,

My soul is lost in praise!

Of seraphim above

Till all, who humbly seek Thy face,

O day of joy and light

O balm of care and sadness

Most beautiful, most bright

On Thee, the high and lowly

Through ages joined in tune

Sing holy, holy, holy

The heavenly manna falls

To holy convocations

The silver trumpet calls

Where Gospel light is glowing

With pure and radiant beams

And living water flowing

With soul refreshing streams

We reach the rest remaining

To spirits of the blest

And all His wonders tell.

To save our sinful race!

Shall give Him nobler praise. Amen.

Our hearts be near to God.

Of ev'ry home the Guest.

Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise

With on accord our parting hymn of praise.

We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease,

And still our hearts to wait Thy word of peace.

With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day.

Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,

That in this house have called upon Thy name.

Turn thou for us its darkness into light.

From harm and danger keep Thy children free,

For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

4

Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life,

Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife.

Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,

Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace. Amen.
