Songs In The Night

Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven; To His feet thy tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Evermore His praises sing: Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King. Praise Him for His grace and favor To our fathers in distress. Praise Him still the same as ever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless. Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious is His faithfulness. Fatherlike He tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame He knows. In His hands He gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely yet His mercy flows. Frail as summer’s flower we flourish, Blows the wind and it is gone; But while mortals rise and perish Our God lives unchanging on, Praise Him, Praise Him, Hallelujah Praise the High Eternal One! Angels, help us to adore Him; Ye behold Him face to face; **Sun and moon, bow down before Him, Dwellers all in time and space. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace. **Alternate lines: Saints triumphant, bow bef...

I have loved this hymn for a long time, but I had only ever heard three stanzas of it. On Net Hymnal they have the full version of the hymn. In our hymnbooks, stanzas two (the second half) and three (the first half) are combined and the fifth stanza is absent. I think the other verses add to the whole. How about you? Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing (Lyrics: Robert Robinson) Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love. Sorrowing I shall be in spirit, Till released from flesh and sin, Yet from what I do inherit, Here Thy praises I’ll begin; Here I raise my Ebenezer; Here by Thy great help I’ve come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home.

He Still Moves Stones Both Death and Darkness ruled the day Around the tomb where Laz’rus lay. Cried Jesus in authority, “Remove the stone and set him free!” Have stony trials progressively Extinguished hopes of victory? Embrace His word triumphantly: He’ll move those stones and set you free.   Have stones of fear, confusion, doubt Destroyed your faith and burned you out? Then look to Him expectantly: He’ll move those stones and set you free.   Are your dreams blocked or gone astray By stones of hindrance in the way? His Spirit will bring clarity: He’ll move those stones and set you free.   (Refrain) He still moves stones, so give Him glory! He still moves stones to change your story! What e’er your trial or loss or need If there’s a stone, He wants you freed. Copyright 2009 James McAlister Used by permission
