Eternal Power, whose high abode

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #337 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 18:27 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God: In vain the loftiest angel tries To reach thy height with wondering eyes. 2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings, He hides his face beneath his wings; Seraphs that most with ardor glow, Still at an humble distance bow. 3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp thy name; But oh, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 4 God is in heaven and man below; Soft be our strains, our words be few; A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits trembling on our tongues.

O Happy Home Where Thou art Loved Most Dearly

Author: Sarah L. Findlater; C. J. Philipp Spitta Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #626 (1941) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Scripture: Genesis 18:19 Lyrics: 1 O happy home where Thou art loved most dearly, Thou faithful Friend and Savior full of grace And where among the guests there never cometh One who can hold such high and honored place! O happy home, where all, in heart united In holy faith and blessed hope, are one, Whom bitter death a little while divideth, Yet cannot end the union here begun! 2 O happy home where two, in heart united, In holy faith, are clinging unto Thee; Where both, to Thee a joyful service bringing, Hear and obey Thy voice most willingly; Where both, to Thee in truth forever cleaving, In joy, in grief, make Thee their only Stay And fondly hope in Thee to be believing Both in the good and in the evil day. 3 O happy home whose little ones are given Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer, To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven Guides them and guards with more than mother’s care! O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till ev'ry common task seems great and holy When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee! 4 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten When joy is overflowing, full, and free! O happy home, where ev'ry wounded spirit Is brought, O great Physician, unto Thee, Until at last, when earthly toil is ended, All meet Thee in the blessed home above, From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, Thine everlasting home of peace and love! Amen. Topics: The Christian Home The Family Languages: English Tune Title: O SELIG HAUS
