How Firm a Foundation

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,134 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:10 Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in this excellent Word! What more can God say than to you has been said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with you, O be not dismayed, For I am your God and will still give you aid; I’ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go, The rivers of woe shall not you overflow; For I will be with you, your troubles to bless, And sanctify to you, your deepest distress. 4 "The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose, I will not, I will not desert to its foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!"

The morning flowers display their sweets

Author: S. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 171 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:8 Lyrics: 1 The morning flowers display their sweets, And gay their silken leaves unfold, As careless of the noontide heats, As fearless of the evening cold. 2 Nipped by the wind's untimely blast, Parched by the sun's directer ray, The momentary glories waste, The short-lived beauties die away. 3 So blooms the human face divine, When youth its pride of beauty shows; Fairer than spring the colors shine, And sweeter than the virgin rose. 4 Or worn by slowly-rolling years, Or broke by sickness in a day The fading glory disappears, The short-lived beauties die away. 5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb, With luster brighter far shall shine! Revive with ever-during bloom, Safe from diseases and decline. 6 Let sickness blast, let death devour, If heaven must recompense our pains; Perish the grass, and fade the flower, If firm the word of God remains. Topics: Life and Death; Sown in Weakness, Raised in Power

Gracious Savior, Gentle Shepherd

Author: Jane E. Lesson; John Keble Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 150 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:11 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd, our little ones are dear to thee; gathered with thine arms and carried in thy bosom may they be sweetly, gently, safely tended, from all want and danger free. 2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them from thy fold to go astray; by thy look of love directed, may they walk the narrow way; thus direct them, and protect them, lest they fall an easy prey. 3 Let thy holy Word instruct them: fill their minds with heav'nly light; let thy love and grace constrain them, to approve whate'er is right, take thine easy yoke and wear it, and to prove thy burden light. 4 Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly in the stream thy love supplied; mingled streams of blood and water flowing from thy wounded side: and to heav'nly pastures lead them, where thine own still waters glide.

Early let us seek Thy favor; Early let us do Thy will; Blessed Lord and only Savior, With Thy love our beings fill; Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast love us, love us still; Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast love us, love us still.
