Lord, Raise Me Above The Ground
1 Lord, raise my soul above the ground, And draw my thoughts to Thee; Teach me, with sweet and solemn sound, To praise the eternal Three. Long ere the lofty skies were spread, Jehovah filled His throne; Or Adam formed, or angels made, The Maker lived alone. 2 His boundless years can ne’er decrease, But still maintain their prime; Eternity’s His dwelling-place, And ever is His time; While like a tide our minutes flow, The present and the past, He fills His own immortal NOW, And sees our ages waste.

God In His Earthly Temples Lays
1 God in his earthly temples lays Foundations for his heavenly praise; He likes the tents of Jacob well, But still in Zion loves to dwell. 2 His mercy visits every house, That pay their night and morning vows; But makes a more delightful stay Where churches meet to praise and pray.

The Lord, Descending From Above
1 The Lord, descending from above, Invites his children near, While power, and truth, and boundless love Display their glories here. 2 Here, in thy gospel’s wondrous frame, Fresh wisdom we pursue; A thousand angels learn thy name, Beyond whate’er they knew.

O God, Our Help, In Ages Past
Daniel 3:13-25: "Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my…
