[Psa 34:3] Bring Many Names
Bring many names, beautiful and good,
Celebrate, in parable and story,
Holiness in glory, living, loving God.
Hail and Hosanna! Bring many names!Strong mother God, working night and day,
Planning all the wonders of creation,
Setting each equation, genius at play:
Hail and Hosanna, strong mother God!Warm father God, hugging every child,
Feeling all the strains of human living,
Caring and forgiving, till we’re reconciled:
Hail and Hosanna, warm father God!Old, aching God, grey with endless care,
Calmly piercing evil’s new disguises,
Glad of good surprises, wiser than despair:
Hail and Hosanna, old, aching God!Young, growing God, eager, on the move,
Saying no to falsehood and unkindness,
Crying out for justice, giving all you have:
Hail and Hosanna, young, growing God!Great, living God, never fully known,
Joyful darkness far beyond our seeing,
Closer yet than breathing, everlasting home:
Hail and Hosanna, great, living God!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 34:3] O Magnify The Lord With Me (laufer)
O magnify the Lord with me,
All ye that bear His Name;
His faithfulness and sovereignty
Forever are the same.He is the soul’s unfailing spring,
Its full orbed summer noon;
The autumn of its harvesting,
Its winter’s restful boon.All times and seasons of the soul,
Revolve His will around;
The universe itself pays toll
To make its life abound.So is its life secure and free
Because He leads the way;
At length it shares eternally
With God His perfect day.O sing with me, both young and old,
Of His unchanging ways;
And let his goodness manifold
Forever be our praise.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 34:3] Through All The Changing Scenes Of Life
Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distressed
From my example courage take
And soothe their griefs to rest.O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His Name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.Their drooping hearts were soon refreshed,
Who looked to Him for aid;
Desired success in every face,
A cheerful air displayed.“Behold,” they say, “Behold the man
Whom providence relieved;
The man so dangerously beset,
So wondrously retrieved!”The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.O make but trial of His love;
Experience will decide
How blest are they, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then
Have nothing else to fear;
Make you His service your delight;
Your wants shall be His care.While hungry lions lack their prey,
The Lord will food provide
For such as put their trust in Him,
And see their needs supplied.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 34:4] Give To The Winds Thy Fears
Give to the winds thy fears,
Hope and be undismayed.
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.Through waves and clouds and storms,
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.Still heavy is thy heart?
Still sinks thy spirit down?
Cast off the world, let fear depart
Bid every care begone.What though Thou rulest not;
Yet heaven, and earth, and hell
Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne,
And ruleth all things well.And whatsoe’er Thou will’st,
Thou dost, O King of kings;
What Thine unerring wisdom chose,
Thy power to being brings.Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own that way,
How wise, how strong this hand.Far, far above thy thought,
His counsel shall appear,
When fully He the work hath wrought,
That caused thy needless fear.Thou seest our weakness, Lord;
Our hearts are known to Thee;
O lift Thou up the sinking hand,
Confirm the feeble knee!Let us in life, in death,
Thy steadfast truth declare,
And publish with our latest breath
Thy love and guardian care.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 34:4] Thy Way And All Thy Sorrows
Thy way and all thy sorrows,
Give thou into His hand,
His gracious care unfailing,
Who doth the heav’ns command.
Their course and path He giveth
To clouds and air and wind;
A way thy feet may follow,
He too for thee will find.On Him be Thy reliance,
As thou wouldst prosper well;
To make thy work enduring
Thy mind on His must dwell.
God yieldeth naught to sorrow
And self tormenting care;
Naught, naught with him availeth;
No power save that of prayer.Leave all to His direction;
In wisdom He doth reign;
Thy wonder far exceeding,
His will His course maintain;
So He as Him beseemeth,
With wonderworking skill,
Shall put away the sorrows
That now thy spirit fill.Give, Lord, the consummation
To all our hearts’ distress;
Our hands, our feet, O strengthen;
In death our spirits bless.
Thy truth and Thy protection
For evermore we pray:
With these in heav’nly glory
Shall end our certain way.Play source: Cyberhymnal
