1 (i) We praise, we worship thee, O God

CHURCH TRlUMPHANT 88.88
James William Elliott
1833-1915

We praise, we worship thee, O God

1
We praise, we worship thee, O God,
thy sovereign power we sound abroad;
all nations bow before thy throne,
and thee the great Jehovah own.

2
Loud hallelujahs to thy name
angels and seraphim proclaim;
by all the powers and thrones in heaven
eternal praise to thee is given.

3
O holy, holy, holy Lord,
thou God of hosts, by all adored,
earth and the heavens are full of thee,
thy light, thy power, thy majesty.

4
Apostles join the glorious throng
and swell the loud triumphant song;
prophets enraptured hear the sound
and spread the hallelujahs round.

5
Victorious martyrs join their lays
and shout the omnipotence of grace,
while all thy church through all the earth
acknowledge and extol thy worth.

6
Glory to thee, O God most high!
Father, we praise thy majesty:
thy Son, the Spirit we adore-
one Godhead, blest forevermore.

OMNI DIE 87.87
Melody from David Gregor Corner’s
‘Gesangbuch’, Nüremburg,

arr. William Smith Rockstro
1823-95

Come you people, come, adore him

1
Come you people, come, adore him
God in Holy Trinity,
God the Father, Son and Spirit,
ever blessed unity.

2
All you glory, God almighty,
to the Son and Spirit given,
ere upon the world’s creation
dawned the newborn light of heaven:

3
Holy, holy, we adore you
one in power, in nature one;
God the Father, God the Spirit,
God the co-eternal Son.

4
By your Son the wide creation
rose where chaos held its sway;
by the Spirit, God Almighty
swept eternal night away.

5
Son, the Father’s love revealing,
Son, through whom the Spirit came,
blessed Godhead, endless glory
be to your exalted name!

7 Praise to the living God

LEONI 66.84 D
Hebrew Synagogue Melody
transcribed by Meyer Lyon
1751-97
arr. Thomas Olivers
1725-99

Praise to the living God

1
Praise to the living God,
all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
for ay the same:
the One eternal God
ere aught that now appears,
the First, the Last, beyond all thought
his timeless years!

2
Formless, all lovely forms
declare his loveliness;
holy, no holiness of earth
can his express.
Lo, he is Lord of all:
creation speaks his praise,
and everywhere, above, below,
his will obeys.

3
His Spirit floweth free,
high surging where it will:
in prophet’s word he spake of old,
he speaketh still.
Established is his law
and changeless it shall stand,
deep writ upon the human heart,
on sea, on land.

4
Eternal life hath he
implanted in the soul;
his love shall be our strength and stay
while ages roll.
Praise to the living God,
all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
for ay the same!

10 All people that on earth do dwell

OLD 100TH 88.88
Melody from the ‘Genevan Psalter’,
1551

All people that on earth do dwell

1
All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice:
him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell;
come ye before him and rejoice.

2
Know that the Lord is God indeed;
without our aid he did us make:
we are his folk, he doth us feed,
and for his sheep he doth us take.

3
O enter then his gates with praise,
approach with joy his courts unto;
praise, laud, and bless his name always,
for it is seemly so to do.

4
For why the Lord our God is good;
his mercy is for ever sure;
his truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure.

William Kethe
d.1594
Psalm 100 (99)

11(i) Let us with a gladsome mind

HARTS 77.77
Original form of melody by
Benjamin Milgrove
1731-1810

Let us with a gladsome mind

1
Let us with a gladsome mind
praise the Lord, for he is kind:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

2
Let us blaze his name abroad,
for of gods he is the God:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

3
He, with all-commanding might,
filled the new-made world with light:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

4
All things living he doth feed,
his full hand supplies their need:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

5
He his chosen race did bless
in the wasteful wilderness:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

6
Let us then with gladsome mind
praise the Lord, for he is kind:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

John Milton
1608-74
Psalm 136(135)
