When Pharaoh Dared to Vex the Saints

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Pharaoh dared to vex the saints, And thus provoked their God, Moses was sent at their complaints, Armed with his dreadful rod. He called for darkness; darkness came Like an o’erwhelming flood; He turned each lake and every stream To lakes and streams of blood. 2. He gave the sign, and noisome flies Through the whole country spread; And frogs in croaking armies rise About the monarch’s bed. Through fields, and towns, and palaces, The tenfold vengeance flew; Locusts in swarms devoured their trees, And hail their cattle slew. 3. Then by an angel’s midnight stroke The flower of Egypt died; The strength of every house was broke, Their glory and their pride. Now let the world forbear its rage, Nor put the church in fear; Israel must live through every age, And be th’Almighty’s care. Used With Tune: AMESBURY Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Veil, Lord, Mine Eyes till She Be Past

Author: George Wither, 1588-1667 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Veil, Lord, mine eyes till she be past, When folly tempts my sight; Keep Thou my palate and my taste From gluttonous delight. Stop Thou mine ear from sirens’ songs, My tongue from lies restrain; Withhold my hands from doing wrongs, My feet from courses vain. 2. Teach, likewise, every other sense To act an honest part, But chiefly settle innocence And pureness in my heart; So naught without me or within, Shall work an ill effect, By tempting me to act a sin, Or virtues to neglect.

O God, Who to a Loyal Home

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, who to a loyal home Didst trust Thy Son divine, Where faithful love and patient work Made daily life benign; With contrite shame Thy grace we claim And lift to Thee our prayer; Redeem our oft unworthy homes Till all is Christ-like there. 2 Deliver us from sins which harm Our homes, and mar their peace. May selfless and devoted love Make strife and discord cease. With anxious zeal, for mankind’s weal And worldwide peace we pray, But all in vain, if wayward homes Cause childhoods steps to stray. 3 Thou art our Father, and from Thee All faithful families spring; To homes where love and honor dwell Thou dost Thy blessing bring. O God of love, send from above Thy succor, swift and strong, That from such homes stout souls may come To triumph over wrong. 4 We pray that childhood’s latent pow'rs May grow to bless mankind; That we may guide aright young lives, For unguessed good designed. O Father God, whose Son has trod Such lowly paths as we, Help us to build on earth true homes, Till we come home to Thee. Amen. Scripture: Luke 2:51-52 Used With Tune: AMESBURY
