According to Thy Gracious Word
Almighty God, thy word is cast
Author: John Cawood, 1775 - 1852 Appears in 222 hymnals Topics: The Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, thy word is cast
Like seed into the ground,
Now let the dew of heaven descend
And righteous fruits abound.
2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove,
But give it root in every heart
To bring forth fruits of love. A-men.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundredfold
The fruits of peace and joy.
4 Oft as the precious seed is sown
Thy quickening grace bestow,
That all whose souls the truth receive
Its saving power may know.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT
Almighty God, thy word is cast
God is the refuge of His saints
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 465 hymnals Topics: Scriptures God's word Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of His saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade;
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold Him present with His aid!
2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled
Down to the deep, and buried there,
Convulsions shake the solid world,
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar;
In sacred peace our souls abide;
While every nation, every shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God;
Life, love, and joy still gliding through,
And watering our divine abode.
5 That sacred stream, Thy living word,
Thus all our anxious fear controls;
Sweet peace Thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.
6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love,
Secure against the threatening hour;
Nor can her firm foundation move,
Built on His faithfulness and power. Used With Tune: WALTON
God is the refuge of His saints

And shall be ours forever;
To spread its light from age to age

In death it is our stay;

Thy Church may hold it fast
Throughout all generations.
Amen. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

Great God, with wonder and with praise

Show what my faults have been,
And from thy gospel let me draw
Forgiveness for my sin.

Here my best comfort lies,
Here my desires are satisfied,
And here my hopes arise.

How blest the children of the Lord
Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 How blest the children of the Lord,
Who, walking in his sight,
Make all the precepts of his word
Their study and delight!
2 That precious wealth shall be their dower,
Which cannot know decay;
Which moth and rust shall ne'er devour,
Or spoiler take away.
3 For them that heavenly light shall spread
Whose cheering rays illume
The darkest hours of life, and shed
A halo round the tomb.
4 Their works of piety and love,
Performed through Christ, their Lord,
Forever registered above,
Shall meet a sure reward. Used With Tune: DENFIELD
How blest the children of the Lord
I love the sacred book of God
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 91 hymnals Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 I love the sacred book of God,
No other can its place supply;
It points me to the saints' abode,
And bids me from destruction fly.
2 Sweet book! in thee my eyes discern
The image of my absent Lord;
From my instructive page I learn
The joys his presence will afford.
3 But while I'm here, thou shalt supply
His place, and tell me of his love;
I'll read with faith's discerning eye,
And thus partake of joys above.
4 Within thy sacred lids is found
A transcript of my Maker's will;
Treasures of knowledge here abound,
The deepest, loftiest mind to fill.
5 Light of the world, thy beams impart,
To lead my feet through life's dark way;
O, shine on this benighted heart,
Nor let me from thy guidance stray.

Let all the heathen writers join
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Let all the heathen writers join
To form one perfect book:
Great God, if once compared with thine,
How mean their writings look!
2 Not the most perfect rules they gave
Could show one sin forgiven,
Nor lead a step beyond the grave;
But thine conducts to heaven.
3 Yet men would fain be just with God
By works their hands have wrought;
But thy commands, exceeding broad,
Extend to every thought.
4 Our faith, and love, and every grace
Fall far below thy word;
But perfect truth and righteousness
Dwell only with the Lord. Used With Tune: MAITLAND
