What various hindrances we meet

What various hindrances we meet
When o'er the trodden paths of life
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, o'er the trodden paths of life,
Backwards I turn mine eyes,
What varied scenes, throughout the road,
Awaken my surprise!
2 Thousands, to whom my natal hour
Imparted vital breath,
Just looked on life, and closed their eyes
In the fast sleep of death.
3 Thousands, who climb'd to manhood's stage;
Safe through unnumber'd snares;
Travell'd not far before they sunk
Amidst its thorns and cares.
4 Follow'd thro' every changing stage,
With goodness all my days,
Deny me not a heart to love,
A tongue to speak thy praise.
5 Then thousand thousand thanks to thee,
My grateful lips shall give;
And, while I make thy grace my trust,
To thee alone I'll live.
6 Then thousand thousand thanks to thee,
Echo along the road;
O! may I join those endless songs,
That fill thy blest abode.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:2
When o'er the trodden paths of life

When thou my righteous Judge shalt come
When Zion's sons, Great God, appear
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Zion's sons, Great God! appear
In Zion's court for praise and pray'r;
Then in thy Spirit, deign to be
As one with those who worship thee.
2 Till thou shalt o'er the waters move,
'Twill but a barren season prove;
Lifeless and cold will be the song,
The preacher dull, the service long.
3 Without thine over shad'wing wings,
No sweets the gospel message brings;
Fetter'd the herald's tongue appears,
Till his great master's feet he hears.
4 Winds, from the north and south, awake,
Take of the things of Jesus, take;
Diffuse thy kind celestial dew,
Bring pardon, peace, and healing too.
5 Confirm the weak and feeble knees,
Unfold the gospel promises;
The truth we hear, do thou apply,
Nor let a waiter's fleece be dry.
6 Then shall we count the season dear,
To those who speak or those who hear;
And all conspire with sweet accord,
In hymns of joy, to praise the Lord.
When Zion's sons, Great God, appear
