"Jehovah" being used of the Father in Sacred Hymns and Spiritual Songs for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1912)

The following comes from:

 

Sacred Hymns and Spiritual Songs for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Salt Lake City: The Deseret News Company, 1912)

 

Hymn 23 (pp. 29, 31):

 

3 The Temple long expected

Shall stand on Zion's hill,

By willing hearts erected.

Who love Jehovah's will;

Let earth, her wealth bestowing,

Adorn His holy seat.

For nations great shall flow in,

To worship at His feet.

 

. . .

 

8 O grant, Eternal Father,

That we may be faithful be,

with all the just to gather,

And Thy salvation see!

Then, with the hosts of heaven,

We'll sing the immortal theme —

To Him be glory given

Whose blood did us redeem.

 

Hymn 97 (p. 107):

 

2 See! Jehovah's banner's furled,

Sheathed His Sword, He speaks, 'tis

done;

Now the kingdoms of this world

Are the Kingdoms of His Son.

 

Hymn 129 (p. 142):

 

1 Sing to the Great Jehovah's praise,

All praise to Him belongs;

Who kindly lengthens out our days

Demands our choicest songs.

 

2 His providence has brought us through

Another various year;

We all, with vows and anthems new,

Before our God appear.

 

3 Father, Thy mercies past we own,

Thy still continued care;

To Thee presenting through Thy Son,

whate'er we have or are.

 

Hymn 259 (p. 280):

 

4 The name of Jehovah is worthy of praising,

And so is the Savior an excellent theme; . . .

 

Hymn 332 (p. 398):

 

1 Though nations rise, and men conspire

Their efforts will be vain;

Jehovah mocks their vile desire

His Zion to defame.

 

. . .

 

4 Let Zion's converts now arise;

Our Father's will defend,

And arm them for each glorious war,

Till victory's triumphs end.

 

5 Armed with His truth: before our face

The people feel dismayed.

And all their treasures and their wealth

Jehovah's purpose aid.

 

Hymn 337 (p. 403):

 

3 Man broke the law of his estate

And Jesus came to expiate,

Atone and rescue fallen man,

According to Jehovah's plan.
