Thy name, almighty Lord...

Thy name we extol, Jehovah our King.

"Tis by the faith of joys to come...

"Tis by thy strength the mountains stand.

"Tis finished-so the Savior cried...
'Tis Wisdom's earnest cry..
To heaven I lift my waiting eyes.
To praise the Lord be our delight.
To thee our wants are known...
To us a child of hope is born
Triumphant Lord, thy goodness reigns..
'Twas by an order from the Lord...
'Twas on that dark, that doleful night.

UNVEIL thy bosom, faithful tomb...
Up to the hills I lift mine eyes.....
Upward we lift our eyes...

WAIT, O my soul, thy Maker's will..
Welcome, delightful morn...

Welcome, sweet day of rest..

When, as returns this nolemn day..

When at a distance, Lord, we trace........
When before thy throne we kneel..
When darkness long has veiled my mind..
When dread misfortune's tempests rise..
When gathering clouds around I view...
When God descends with men to dwell......
When God revealed his gracious name.......
When I can read my title clear.....
When in the vale of lengthened years.
When Israel through the desert passed...
When I the holy grave survey..

When musing sorrow weeps the past..
When sinners quit their wicked ways..
When some kind shepherd from his fold..
When the vale of death appears...
Wherefore should man, frail child of clay.
Wherewith shall I approach the Lord...
While here as wandering sheep we stray.
While my Redeemer's near

Whilst thee I seek, protecting Power......
Who has believed thy word...
Who shall towards thy chosen seat..
Why does your face, ye humble souls.
Why do we mourn departing friends..
Why should we start and fear to die..
Why sinks my weak, desponding mind.
With all our hearts, with all our powers..
With cheerful voices rise and sing...
With glory clad, with strength arrayed..
With heavenly power, O Lord, defend.
With humble heart and tongue...
With joy we meditate the grace....
With mines of wealth are sinners poor..
With reverence let the saints appear.....
With sacred joy we lift our eyes..
With songs and honors sounding loud..
With stately towers and bulwarks strong...
With transport, Lord, our souls proclaim.....

With warm delight and grateful joy..
