The God of Abraham praise
Author: David ben Judah, 14th Century; Thomas Olivers, 1725-1799 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #6 (2006) Topics: Historical Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love.
Jehovah, great I AM,
By earth and heaven confessed;
I bow and bless the sacred Name,
Forever blest.
2 The God of Abraham praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys
At His right hand.
I all on earth forsake,
Its wisdom, fame, and power;
And Him my only portion make,
My shield and tower.
3 He by Himself hath sworn,
I on His oath depend,
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
To heaven ascend;
I shall behold His face,
I shall His power adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace
Forevermore.
4 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!"
They ever cry.
Hail, Abraham's God and mine!
I join the heavenly lays;
All might and majesty are Thine,
And endless praise.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI (Yigdal)

2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore:,
"Vision of Peace," that brings joy evermore;
Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessèd people shall evermore raise.
4 Low before Him with our praises we fall,
Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all:
Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son;
In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: O QUANTA QUALIA
O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be
Jerusalem the Golden
Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th Century; John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #481 (2006) Topics: Historical Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed.
I know not, oh, I know not,
What joys await us there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they, who with their Leader
Have conquered in the fight,
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

Shepherd of Tender Youth
Author: Clement of Alexandria, c. 150-c. 220; Henry M. Dexter, 1821-1890 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #509 (2006) Topics: Historical Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of tender youth,
Guiding in love and truth,
Through devious ways;
Christ our triumphant King,
We come Thy Name to sing,
Hither our children bring,
To shout Thy praise.
2 Thou art our Holy Lord,
The all-subduing Word,
Healer of strife:
Thou didst Thyself abase,
That from sin's deep disgrace,
Thou mightest save our race,
And give us life.
3 Thou art the Great High Priest;
Thou hast prepared the feast
Of heavenly love:
While in our mortal pain,
None calls on Thee in vain;
Help Thou dost not disdain,
Help from above.
4 Ever be Thou our Guide,
Our Shepherd and our Pride,
Our Staff and Song:
Jesus, Thou Christ of God,
By Thy eternal word,
Lead us where Thou hast trod,
Make our faith strong.
5 So now, and till we die,
Sound we Thy praises high,
And joyful sing:
Infants and the glad throng
Who to Thy Church belong,
Unite to swell the song
To Christ our King!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: KIRBY BEDON
