Great God! Beneath Whose Piercing Eye

Author: William Roscoe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Great God! Beneath whose piercing eye The earth’s extended kingdoms lie; Whose favoring smile upholds them all, Whose anger smites them, and they fall. 2. We bow before Thy heavenly throne; Thy power we see, Thy greatness own; Yet, cherished by Thy milder voice, Our bosoms tremble and rejoice. 3. Thy kindness to our fathers shown Their children’s children long shall own; To Thee, with grateful hearts, shall raise The tribute of exulting praise. 4. Led on by Thine unerring aid, Secure the paths of life we tread; And, freely as the vital air, Thy first and noblest bounties share. 5. Great God, our guardian, guide and friend! O still Thy sheltering arm extend; Preserved by Thee for ages past, For ages let Thy kindness last!

O Thou Who Sealest Up the Past

Author: Samuel V. Cole Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou who sealest up the past, The days slip from us, and the years Grow silent with their hopes and fears; ’Tis Thine to keep all things at last. 2. We have not done the things we would, A blotted page we render back; And yet, whate’er our work may lack, Thy work goes on, and Thou art good. 3. Thou movest in the moving years; Wherever man is, there Thou art To overrule his feebler part, And bring a blessing out of tears. 4. Thou opener of the years to be, Let me not lose, in woe or weal, The touch of Thy strong hand I feel Upholding and directing me. Used With Tune: DEVENTER Text Sources: Scipio's Garden and Other Poems, 1901. In The Pilgrim Hymnal, 1904, it is dated to 1887.
