My soul with expectation doth

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul with expectation doth Depend on God indeed; My strength and my salvation do From Him alone proceed. 2 He only my salvation is, And my strong Rock is He; He only is my sure defense: I shall not moved be. 3 In God my glory placed is, And my salvation sure; In God the Rock is of my strength, My refuge most secure. 4 Ye people, place your confidence In Him continually; Before Him pour ye out your heart: God is our refuge high.

Lord, I Would Own Thy Tender Care

Author: Jane Taylor Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, I would own Thy tender care And all Thy love to me; The food I eat, the clothes I wear, Are all bestowed by Thee. 2 Kind angels guard me every night As round my bed they stay; Nor am I absent from Thy sight In darkness or by day. 3 My health and friends and parents dear To me by God are given; I have not any blessing here But what is sent from Heaven. 4. Such goodness, Lord, and constant care A child can ne'er repay; But may it be my daily prayer To love Thee and obey. Topics: God's Love and Care Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN

Let saints on earth in concert sing

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Lyrics: Let saints on earth in concert sing With those whose work is done; For all the servants of our King In heaven and earth are one. One family, we dwell in him, One Church, above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. One army of the living God, To his command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. E'en now to their eternal home There pass some spirits blest; While others to the margin come, Waiting their call to rest. 275 Jesus, be thou our constant Guide Then, when the word is given, Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, And bring us safe to heaven. Amen. Topics: Holy Days All Saints Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN

From Thee All Skill and Science Flow

Author: Charles Kingsley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From thee all skill and science flow, all pity, care, and love, all calm and courage, faith and hope: O pour them from above! 2 Impart them, Lord, to each and all, as each and all shall need, to rise, like incense, each to thee in noble thought and deed. 3 And hasten, Lord, that perfect day when pain and death shall cease, and thy just rule shall fill the earth with health and light and peace. 4 When ever blue the sky shall gleam, and ever green the sod, and our rude work deface no more the paradise of God.

The Fish in Wave, the Bird on Wing

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The fish in wave, the bird on wing, God bade the waters bear; Each for our mortal body’s food His gracious hands prepare. 2. But other food, of richer cost, The immortal spirit needs; By faith it lives on every word That from His mouth proceeds. 3. Faith springing from the blood of Christ, Has flowed o’er every land; And sinners through the vanquished world Bow down to its command. 4. Its light the joy of Heav’n reveals To hearts made pure within; And bids them seek by worthy deeds Eternal crowns to win. 5. By faith the saints of old were strong The lion’s wrath to tame; By faith they spurned the tyrant’s threats, And scorned the raging flame. 6. Lord, grant that we the path may tread Whereon its light doth shine; And gather, as we onward go, The fruits of love divine. 7. O praise the Father; praise the Son, On whose most precious blood Rests all our faith; and praise to Him Who with Them both is God. Used With Tune: ST.
