UMH 088: Maker in Whom We Live

1. Maker, in whom we live, in whom we are and move,
the glory, power, and praise receive for thy creating love.
Let all the angel throng give thanks to God on high,
while earth repeats the joyful song and echoes to the sky.

2. Incarnate Deity, let all the ransomed race
render in thanks their lives to thee for thy redeeming grace.
The grace to sinners showed ye heavenly choirs proclaim,
and cry, "Salvation to our God, salvation to the Lamb!"

3. Spirit of Holiness, let all thy saints adore
thy sacred energy, and bless thine heart-renewing power.
No angel tongues can tell thy love's ecstatic height,
the glorious joy unspeakable, the beatific sight.

4. Eternal, Triune God, let all the hosts above,
let all on earth below record and dwell upon thy love.
When heaven and earth are fled before thy glorious face,
sing all the saints thy love hath made thine everlasting praise.

UMH 088: Maker in Whom We Live

Hymns and songs of praises are tools for spiritual worship and also a form of prayer. It is also a scriptural recommendation. Yes, God recommended singing songs or hymns in the Bible.

In both Ephesians 5:19 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, and Colossians 3:16, "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." Paul preached about gathering believers and making songs of praise and singing of hymns.

These hymns are the collections of the united Methodist Church Hymnal book. They may be similar with the hymns in SS&S book or the Anglican Ancient and Modern Hymnal. But what make them different is the numbering and titles. Hymns are mostly searched according to title and the denominations.

 For example, You can find a hymn like Abide with me fast fall... as A&M 27 - Abide with me: fast falls the eventide in the Anglican hymn book number and also found in SS&S - ABIDE WITH ME, FAST FALLS THE EVEN-TIDE - SS&S 297.
