"Come, Holy Comforter,
thy sacred witness bear
in this glad hour.
Thou who almighty art,
now rule in every heart,
and ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of pow'r."

"Come, thou Incarnate Word,
gird on thy mighty sword,
our prayer attend.
Come, and thy people bless,
and give thy Word success;
Spirit of holiness,
on us descend."

"Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name
in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons,
blessed Trinity!"

"Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man
thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy;
there is none beside thee
perfect in pow'r, in
love, and purity."

"Holy, holy, holy!
All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns
around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim
falling down before thee,
who wert, and art, and
evermore shalt be."

"Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!”

"Almighty God, your lofty throne
has justice for its cornerstone,
and shining bright before your face
are truth and love and boundless grace.

All glory unto God we yield,
Jehovah is our help and shield;
all praise and honor we will bring
to Israel's Holy One, our King."

"Behold God's truth and grace displayed,
for he has faithful cov'nant made,
and he has sworn that David's son
shall ever sit upon this throne.

'For him my mercy shall endure,
my cov'nant made with him is sure;
his throne and race I will maintain
forever, while the heav'ns remain.'"

"My song forever shall record
the tender mercies of the Lord;
your faithfulness will I proclaim,
and every age shall know your name.

I sing of mercies that endure,
forever builded firm and sure,
of faithfulness that never dies,
established changless in the skies."

"All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son, and him who reigns
with them in highest heaven—
the one eternal God,
whom earth and heav'n adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore."

“With voices united our praises we offer,
to you, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise.
Your strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us;
to you, our great Redeemer, forever be praise."

"We praise you, O God, our Redeemer, Creator;
in grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before you, we kneel and adore you;
we bless your holy name, glad praises we sing.”

“No strength of our own and no goodness we claim;
yet, since we have known of the Savior's great name,
in this our strong tower for safety we hide:
the Lord is our power, ‘The Lord will provide.’”

"Though troubles assail us and dangers afright,
though friends should all fail us and foes all unite,
yet one thing secures us, whatever betide,
the promise assures us, 'The Lord will provide.'”

"O Lord, enthroned in glory bright,
thou reignest in the heav'nly height;
the proud in vain thy favor seek,
but thou hast mercy for the meek;
through trouble though my pathway be,
thou wilt revive and strengthen me."

"With grateful heart my thanks I bring,
before the great thy praise I sing;
I worship in thy holy place
and praise thee for thy truth and grace;
for truth and grace together shine
in thy most holy word divine."

"O love of God, our shield and stay
though all the perils of our way!
Eternal love, in you we rest,
forever safe, forever blest.
We will exalt you, God and King,
and we will ever praise your name;
we will extol you ev'ry day,
and evermore your praise proclaim."

"O heav'nly love, how precious still,
in days of weariness and ill,
in nights of pain and helplessness,
to heal, to comfort, and to bless!
O wide-embracing, wondrous love!
We read you in the sky above,
we read you in the earth below,
in seas that swell and streams that flow."

"O love of God, how strong and true,
eternal and yet ever new,
uncomprehended and unbought,
beyond all knowledge and all thought!
O love of God, how deep and great,
far deeper than man's deepest hate;
self-fed, self-kindled like the light,
changeless, eternal, infinite."

“Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
wretched wand’rer far astray;
found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
from the paths of death away.
Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling,
him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
and, the light of hope revealing,
bade the blood-stained cross appear.”

“Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise thee
for the bliss thy love bestows,
for the pard’ning grace that saves me,
and the peace that from it flows.
Help, O God, my weak endeavor;
this dull soul to rapture raise;
thou must light the flame, or never
can my love be warmed to praise.”

“O bless the Lord, my soul;
let all within me join,
and aid my tongue to bless his name,
whose favors are divine.

O bless the Lord, my soul,
nor let his mercies lie
forgotten in unthankfulness,
and without praises die.”

“Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To his feet your tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who, like me, his praise should sing?
Praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him,
Praise the everlasting King.”

“Our God is King of all the earth,
with thoughtful heart his praise make known;
o’er all the nations God does reign,
exalted on his holy throne.

To praise and serve our cov’nant God
the princes of the earth draw nigh;
all kingly pow’rs belong to him,
he is exalted, God Most High.”

“Rejoice, all people, homage give,
to God with voice of triumph sing;
he rules us in dread majesty,
the great, the universal King.

God has ascended with a shout,
Jehovah with the trumpet’s sound;
sing praise to God our King, sing praise,
yes, let his glorious praise abound.”

“Not unto us, O Lord of heav’n,
but unto you be glory giv’n;
in love and truth you do fulfill
the counsels of your sovereign will;
though nations fail your pow’r to own,
yet you do reign, and you alone.”

“Vow and pay unto Jehovah,
him your God forever own;
all men, bring your gifts before him,
worship him and him alone;
mighty kings obey and fear him,
princes bow before his throne.”

"Before Jehovah’s awesome throne,
all nations bow with sacred joy;
know that the Lord is God alone,
he can create and he destroy.

Wide as the world is your command,
vast as eternity your love;
firm as a rock your truth must stand,
when rolling years shall cease to move.”
