All beautiful the march of days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile, 1878-1939 Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.8.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; the hand that shaped the rose has wrought the crystal of the snow, has sent the silvery frost of heaven, the flowing waters sealed, and laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. 2 O’er white expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold; the solemn splendours of the night burn brighter through the cold; life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth, and clearer sounds the angel hymn, 'Good will to all on earth.' 3 O God, from whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, Yourself the vision passing by in crystal and in rose; day unto day declare thro' speech, and night to night proclaim in ever-changing words of light the wonder of Your name.

O Lord, my hope and confidence

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my hope and confidence are placed alone in thee; O never let thy servant then put to confusion be. 2 And let me, in thy righteousness, from thee deliverance have; and set me free, incline thine ear unto me, and me save. 3 Be thou my dwelling-rock, to which I ever may resort: thou gav’st commandment me to save for thou art my rock and fort. 4 Free me, my God, from wicked hands, hands cruel and unjust: 5 for thou, O Lord God, art my hope, and from my youth my trust. 6 Thou from the womb didst hold me up; thou didst me safely bring out of my mother’s womb; and I still praise to thee will sing. 7 To many I a wonder am; thou art my refuge strong. 8 Filled let my mouth be with thy praise and honour all day long. 9 O do not cast me off, when me old age doth overtake; and in the time of failing strength do thou not me forsake. 10 For those that are mine enemies against me speak with hate; and they together counsel take that for my soul lay wait. 11 They said, God leaves him; him pursue and take: none will him save. 12 Be thou not far from me, my God: thy speedy help I crave. 13 Confound, consume them, that unto my soul are enemies: clothed be they with reproach and shame that do my hurt devise.
