The Name of our God

The servants of Jehovah's will
The spacious earth is all the Lord's
The strong foundations of the earth
The wicked I in power have seen
The wonders which thy laws contain
Thine is the cheerful day, O Lord
Thou art the righteous Judge, in whom
Though wicked men grow rich or great
Thou, gracious God, art my defence

Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known
Thou suit'st, O Lord, thy righteous ways
Through all the changing scenes of life
Thus God declares his sovereign will
Thy chast'ning wrath, O Lord, restrain
Thy constant blessing, Lord, bestow
Thy mercies, Lord, shall be my song
Thy presence, Lord, hath me supplied
Thy sacred word, my joyful breast

To God, the mighty Lord

To me, who am the workmanship

To my complaint, O Lord, my God

To my request and earnest cry
To Sion's hill I lift my eyes
We build with fruitless cost, unless
Whate'er the mighty Lord decrees
When I pour out my soul in prayer
When we, our weary limbs to rest
While I the King's loud praise rehearse
Whom should I fear, since God to me
Who place on Sion's God their trust
With cheerful notes let all the earth
With glory clad, with strength array'd
With me, thy servant, thou hast dealt
With my whole heart, my God and King
With my whole heart to God I call'd
With one consent let all the earth
Ye boundless realms of joy
Ye saints and servants of the Lord
Ye that in might and power excel
