Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty, God in three Persons, blessed Trinity! 2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea, cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, who wert and art and ever more shalt be. 3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee, though our eyes in sinfulness thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love and purity. 4. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty, God in three Persons, blessed Trinity! Hymn 9 – God’s law is perfect 1. God’s law is perfect and converts the soul in sin that lies: God’s testimony is most sure and makes the simple wise. 2. The statutes of the Lord are right and do rejoice the heart: the Lord’s command is pure, and doth light to the eyes impart. 3. Unspotted is the fear of God and ever doth endure: the judgements of the Lord are true together, right and sure. 4. They more than gold, yea much fine gold, to be desired are than honey, honey from the comb that dropeth, sweeter far. 5. Moreover, they thy servants warn how they their life should frame: a great reward provided is for them that keep the same. Hymn 324 – Great is thy faithfulness 1. Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father; there is no shadow of turning with thee; thou changest not; thy compassions they fail not; as thou hast been thou forever wilt be. Great is thy faithfulness; great is thy faithfulness; morning by morning new mercies I see; all I have needed thy hand hath provided; great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me. 2. Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, sun, moon, and stars in their courses above, join with all nature in eloquent witness to thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Great… 3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide, strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow: blessings all mind, with ten thousand beside! Great… Hymn 495 – The heavens declare your glory, Lord 1. The heavens declare your glory, Lord! In every star your wisdom shines, but when our eyes behold your word, we read your name in clearer lines. 2. Sun, moon and stars convey your praise to all the earth, and never stand, so when your truth began its race, it touched and glanced on every land. 3. Nor shall your spreading gospel rest till through the world your truth has run, till Christ has all the nations blest who see the light or feel the sun. 4. Great sun of righteousness, arise and bless the world with heavenly light! Your gospel makes the simple wise; your laws are pure, your judgements right. 5. Your noblest wonders here we view in souls renewed and sins forgiven: Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, and make your word my guide to heaven.
