Psalms 8:5

• [Psa 8:5] Go Forth To Life, O Child Of Earth

  Go forth to life, O child of earth! Still mindful of thy heav’nly birth; Thou art not here for ease, or sin, But manhood’s noble crown to win. Tho’ passion’s fires are in thy soul, Thy spirit can their flames control; Tho’ tempters strong beset thy way, Thy spirit is more strong than they. Go on from innocence of youth To manly purity and truth; God’s angels still are near to save, And God Himself doth help the brave. Then forth to life, O child of earth! Be worthy of thy heav’nly birth! For noble service thou art here; Thy brothers help, thy God revere!

Psalms 145:12

• [Psa 145:12] Ye Sons Of Men, With Joy Record

  Ye sons of men, with joy record The various wonders of the Lord; And let His power and goodness sound Through all your tribes the earth around. Let the high heavens your songs invite; Those spacious fields of brilliant light, Where sun and moon and planets roll, And stars that glow from pole to pole. See earth in verdant robes arrayed, Its herbs and flowers, its fruit and shade; View the broad sea’s majestic plains, And think how wide its Maker reigns. But O that brighter world above, Where lives and reigns Incarnate Love! God’s only Son in flesh arrayed, For man a bleeding Victim made. Thither, my soul, with rapture soar: There in the land of praise adore: This theme demands an angel’s lay, Demands an undeclining day.
