Whom Thou dost guard, O King of kings, No evil shall molest; Under the shadow of Thy wings, Shall they securely rest. 4. Thy angels shall around their beds Their constant stations keep; Thy faith and truth shall shield their heads, For Thou dost never sleep. 5.

The King that sitteth on thy throne In his felicity? 5 Thy gardens and thy goodly walks Continually are green, Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. 6 Right through thy streets, with silver sound, The living waters flow, And on the banks, on either side The trees of life doth grow. 7 Those trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring: There evermore the angels sit And evermore do sing. 8 Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in Thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen. Topics: General; Processional; Church Triumphant Used With Tune: [O mother dear, Jerusalem]

There's Not a Tint that Paints the Rose

Author: James C. Wallace Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 115 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. There’s not a tint that paints the rose, Or decks the lily fair, Or streaks the humblest flower that blows, But God has placed it there. 2. There’s not of grass a single blade, Or leaf of loveliest green, Where heav’nly skill is not displayed, And heav’nly wisdom seen. 3. There’s not a star whose twinkling light Shines on the distant earth And cheers the silent gloom of night, But God has given it birth. 4. There’s not a place on earth’s vast round In ocean deep, or air, Where skill and wisdom are not found, For God is everywhere. 5. Around, beneath, below, above, As far as space extends, There He displays His boundless love, And power with mercy blends. Used With Tune: ST.
