Sing to the Lord a joyful song, Lift up your hearts, your voices raise;

Το us His gracious gifts belong, To Him our songs of love and praise:

He is Lord of heav'n and earth, Whom angels serve and saints a

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, To whom be praise for ev

Thy depth would ev'ry heart ap- pal That saw not love supreme in Thee. A - men.

5 Bestow on every joyous thrill

Thy deeper tone of reverent awe;
Make pure Thy children's erring will,
And teach their hearts to love Thy law.

John Sterling, 1840, v 5, 11. 3 and 4alt.

Lord is King! lift up thy voice,

O earth; and all ye heavens, rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring,
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"

2 The Lord is King! who then shall dare
Resist His will, distrust His care,
Or murmur at His wise decrees,
Or doubt His royal promises?

3 The Lord is King! child of the dust,
The Judge of all the earth is just;
Holy and true are all His ways:
Let every creature speak His praise.

4 O when His wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing,
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"

5 Alike pervaded by His eye,

All parts of His dominion lie;

This world of ours and worlds unseen,
And thin the boundary between.

6 One Lord, one empire, all secures;

He reigns, and life and death are yours;
Through earth and heaven one song shall ring,
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"

Josiah Conder, 1824

GOD, Thou Giver of all good,

Thy children live by daily food;
And daily must the prayer be said,
"Give us this day our daily bread."

2 The life of earth and seed is Thine;
Suns glow, rains fall, by power divine;
Thou art in all; not even the powers
By which we toil for bread are ours.

3 What large provision Thou hast made!
As large as is Thy children's need;
How wide Thy bounteous love is spread!
Wide as the want of daily bread.

4 Since every day by Thee we live,
May grateful hearts Thy gifts receive;
And may the hands be pure from stain
With which our daily bread we gain.

Samuel Longfellow, 1864
