Firm And Unmoved Are They

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Firm and unmoved are they That rest their souls on God; Firm as the mount where David dwelt, Or where the ark abode. 2 As mountains stood to guard The city’s sacred ground, So God and His almighty love Embrace His saints around. 3 What though the Father’s rod Drop a chastising stroke, Yes, lest it wound their souls too deep, Its fury shall be broke. 4 Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose faith and pious fear, Whose hope, and love, and every grace Proclaim their hearts sincere. 5 Nor shall the tyrant’s rage Too long oppress the saint; The God of Israel will support His children lest they faint. 6 But if our slavish fear Will choose the road to hell, We must expect our portion there, Where bolder sinners dwell.

We Give Thee But Thine Own

Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 498 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 3 Our hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the fold. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, The lost to God to bring, To teach the way of life and peace,-- It is a Christlike thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee. Amen. Topics: Church Year Trinity Season; Trinity, Ninth Sunday; Inner Missions; Christian Conduct and Service; Missions Inner Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Used With Tune: TRENTHAM

When shall Thy love constrain

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When shall Thy love constrain, And force me to Thy breast? When shall my soul return again To her eternal rest? 2 Ah! what avails my strife, My wand'ring to and fro? Thou hast the words of endless life; Ah! whither should I go? 3 Thy condescending grace To me did freely move; It calls me still to seek Thy face, And stoops to ask my love. 4 And can I yet delay My love, my life to give? To tear my soul from earth away, My Jesus to receive? 5 Nay, but I yield, I yield! I can hold out no more; I sink, by dying love compelled, And own Thee conqueror.
