O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,236 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 26:4 Lyrics: 1 O God, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Our Shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal Home.
2 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
3 A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Soon bears us all away;
We fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
5 O God, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Be thou our Guard while life shall last,
And our eternal Home. Topics: Eternal Life/Heaven; Faith; Hope; Refuge; Trust; Service Music for Mass Entrance Song (Gathering of Processional); Morning Prayer Hymn; Evening Prayer Hymn Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Come Thou also unto me.
Where we find Thee and adore Thee,
There a heav'n on earth must be.
To my heart, O enter Thou;
Let it be Thy temple now!
3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted;
Here Thy seed is duly sown.
Let my soul, where it is planted,
Bring forth precious sheaves alone,
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
4 Thou my faith increase and quicken;
Let me keep Thy gift divine,
Howsoe'er temptations thicken;
May Thy Word still o'er me shine
As my guiding star through life,
As my comfort in all strife.
5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee;
Let Thy will be done indeed.
May I undisturbed draw near Thee
While Thou dost Thy people feed.
Here of life the fountain flows;
Here is balm for all our woes.

To our forsaken God we turn;
Oh, spare our guilty country, spare
The church thine hand hath planted here!

We plead thy Son's atoning blood;
We plead thy gracious promises;
And are they unavailing pleas?

Have brought ten thousand blessings down
On guilty lands in helpless woe:
Let them prevail to save us, too. Topics: Our Guilty Country, Spare; The Christian Nation Fast-Day

O Prince of life, in all your saving power,
O Christ the same, to whom our hearts are given,

O Jesus Christ, the Holy One
O, this is blessing, this is rest
Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 Lyrics:
O, this is blessing, this is rest —
Unto Thine arms, O Lord, I flee:
I hide me in Thy faithful breast,
And pour out all my soul to Thee.
There is a host dissuading me, —
But, all their voices far above,
I hear Thy words — “O taste and see
The comfort of a Savior's love.”
And, hushing every adverse sound,
Songs of defence my soul surround,
As if all saints encamped about
One trusting heart pursued by doubt,
And O, how solemn, yet how sweet
Their one assured, persuasive strain!
“The Lord of hosts is thy retreat,
The Man who bore thy sin, thy pain.
Still in His hand thy times remain —
Still of his body thou art part;
And He will prove his right to reign
O'er all things that concern thy heart.”
O tenderness — O truth divine!
Lord, I am altogether thine.
I have bowed down — I need not flee —
Peace, peace is mine in trusting Thee.
And now I count supremely kind,
The rule that once I thought severe;
And, precious to my altered mind,
At length, Thy least reproofs appear.
Now to the love that casts out fear,
Mercy and truth, indeed seem one;
Why should I hold my ease so dear?
The work of training must be done,
I must be taught what I would know —
I must be led where I would go —
And all the rest ordained for me,
Till that which is not seen I see
Is to be found in trusting Thee.
O, this is blessing, this is rest
