Hosannah with a cheerful sound
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 Hosanna with a cheerful sound
To God's upholding hand!
Ten thousand snares our path surround,
And yet secure we stand.
2 How wondrous is that mighty pow'r
Which form'd us with a word!
And ev'ry day, and ev'ry hour,
We lean upon the Lord.
3 The ev'ning rests our weary head,
And mercy guards the room.
We wake, and we admire the bed
That was not made our tomb.
4 The rising morn cannot assure,
That we shall end the day;
For death stands ready at the door
To take our lives away.
5 God is our Sun, whose daily light
Our joy and safety brings;
Our feeble frame lies safe at night
Beneath his shady wings.
Hosannah with a cheerful sound
Lord of my life! O may thy praise
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 Lord of my life! O may thy praise
Employ my noblest pow'rs,
Whose goodness lengthens out my days,
And fills the circling hours!
2 Preserv'd by thy almighty arm,
I pass the shades of night,
Serene and safe from ev'ry harm,
And see returning light.
3 While many spent the night in sighs,
And restless pains and woes,
In gentle sleep I clos'd my eyes
And undisturb'd repose.
4 When sleep, death's semblance, o'er me spread,
And I unconscious lay;
Thy watchful care was round my bed,
To guard my feeble clay.
5 O let the same almighty care
My waking hours attend;
From ev'ry trespass, ev'ry snare,
My heedless steps defend.
6 Smile on my minutes as they roll,
And guide my future days;
And let thy goodness fill my soul
With gratitude and praise.
Lord of my life! O may thy praise
Remark my soul! the narrow bounds
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances New-Year Lyrics: 1 Remark, my soul! the narrow bounds
Of the revolving year.
How swift the weeks complete their rounds!
How short the months appear!
2 So fast eternity comes on,
And that important,
When all that mortal life has done
God's judgment shall survey.
3 Yet like an idle tale we pass
The swift advancing year;
And study artful ways t' increase
The speed of its career.
4 Waken, O God! my trifling heart,
Its great concern to see;
That I may act the Christian part,
And give the year to thee.
5 Thus shall their course more grateful run,
If future years arise;
And bear me, swift as time can move,
To joy that never dies.
Remark my soul! the narrow bounds
Praise, happy land! Jehovah's name
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Praise, happy land! Jehovah's name;
His goodness, and thy bliss proclaim.
For thee each blessing largely flows,
That freedom's lib'ral hand bestows.
2 Thy children are secure and blest;
Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest;
He feeds thy sons with finest wheat,
And adds his blessing to their meat.
3 Thy changing seasons he ordains,
Thine early and thy latter rains;
His flakes of snow like wool he sends,
And well the springing corn defends.
4 But he hath nobler works and ways,
To call his people to his praise:
To all our land his laws are shown;
His gospel's through the nation known.
Praise, happy land! Jehovah's name
How rich thy gifts, Almighty King!
Meter: Irregular Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 How rich thy gifts, Almighty King!
From thee our varied comforts spring:
Th' extended trade, the fruitful skies,
The blessings liberty bestows,
Th' eternal joys te gospel shows—
All from thy boundless goodness rise.
2 Here commerce spreads the wealthy store,
That pours from ev'ry foreign shore;
Science and art their charms display:
Religion teaches us to raise
Our voices to our Maker's praise,
As truth and conscience point the way.
3 With grateful hearts, with joyful songs;
His pow'r and mercy we proclaim:
This land through ev'ry age shall own,
Jehovah here has fix'd his throne,
And triumph in his mighty name.
4 Long as the moon her course shall run,
Or man behold the circling sun,
O still may God amidst us reign:
Crown our just counsels with success,
With peace and joy our borders bless,
And all our sacred rights maintain.
How rich thy gifts, Almighty King!
In vain opposing nations rage
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 In vain opposing nations rage,
If God with us abide:
One word of his dissolves their strength,
And humbles all their pride.
2 His wisdom sees correction meet;
He gives the dread command,
And war its desolation spreads
Through ev'ry trembling land.
3 His purpose wrought, again he speaks,
And desolations cease;
War's loud alarms are heard no more,
And all the world is peace.
4 Mortals, adore his sov'reign pow'r,
Nor dare provoke his rod:
Through all your various tribes be still,
And know that he is God.
In vain opposing nations rage
God, to correct the world
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 God, to correct the world,
In wrath is slow to rise;
But comes at length, in thunder cloth'd,
And darkness veils the skies.
2 His banners, lifted high,
The nations' God declare,
And, stain'd with blood, with terrors mark'd,
Spread wonder and despair.
3 All earthly pomp and pride
Are in his presence lost;
Empires o'erturned, thrones, sceptres, crowns,
In wild confusion tost.
4 While war and wo prevail,
And desolation wide;
In God, the sov'reign Lord of all,
The righteous still confide.
5 Mysterious is the course
Of his tremendous way:
His path is in the trackless winds,
And in the foaming sea.
6 Yet, though now wrapt in clouds,
And from our view conceal'd
The righteous Judge will soon appear,
In majesty reveal'd!
7 He'll curb the lawless pow'r,
The deadly wrath of man;
And all the windings will unfold
Of his own gracious plan.
8 The sons of tyranny,
In ruin shall be hurl'd;
And light, and liberty, and bliss,
Embrace the new-born world.
God, to correct the world
O come, behold a scene of dread!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 O come, behold a scene of dread!
Behold a world with slaughter spread!
And know, 'tis God who bids each land
thus feel the terrors of his hand.
2 'Tis his again the earth to cheer,
To break the bow, to snap the spear,
To wrap in flames the glitt'ring car,
And hush the tumult of the war.
3 Behold us, Lord! oppress'd with woe,
And exil'd from thy care we go:
Rebuk'd for sin, chastis'd by thee,
Grant us again thy face to see.
4 O thou, the God whom we adore!
Our breaches heal, our peace restore.
Our hope on man repos'd in vain,
O let thy strength, great God! sustain.
5 The objects of thy tend'rest love
O save, propitious from above!
Let us with them thy mercy share,
And hear, O hear our ceaseless pray'r.
O come, behold a scene of dread!
We feel thy awful chast'ning rod
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 We feel thy awful chast'ning rod,
Thy sovereign justice we adore;
Yet we approach thy feet, O God,
Thy boundless mercy to implore.
2 Teach us to mourn for all our guilt;
May reformation fill the land;
No more may human blood be spilt,
But love and joy each heart expand.
3 To thee, O Lord, to thee alone,
We look for help, while drown'd in tears.
Send down salvation from thy throne;
Subdue our hearts, remove our fears.
4 Unite our souls to trust thy grace;
Portentous, angry clouds dispel;
Let party-feuds no more have place,
Nor tongues be "set on fire of hell."
5 May the kind spirit of thy Son
Preside and rule in ev'ry soul;
That wars may cease, thy will be done,
And praise resound from pole to pole.
We feel thy awful chast'ning rod
O Lord, our fathers oft have told
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our fathers oft have told,
In our attentive ears,
Thy wonders in their days perform'd,
And in more ancient years.
2 ’Twas not their courage, nor their sword,
To them salvation gave;
’Twas not their number, nor their strength
That did their country save.
3 But thy right hand, thy pow'rful arm;
Whose succor they implor'd—
Thy Providence protected those,
Who thy great name ador'd.
4 As thee, their God, our fathers own'd,
So thou art still our King;
O therefore, as thou didst to them,
To us deliv'rance bring.
5 To thee, the glory we'll ascribe,
From whom salvation came;
In God our shield we will rejoice,
And ever bless thy name.
O Lord, our fathers oft have told
