The Duty of Praise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Old Age First Line: How good it is to thank the Lord Lyrics: 1 How good it is to thank the Lord, And praise to Thee, Most High, accord, To show Thy love with morning light, And tell Thy faithfulness each night; Yea, good it is Thy praise to sing, And all our sweetest music bring. 2 O Lord, with joy my heart expands Before the wonders of Thy hands; Great works, Jehovah, Thou hast wrought, Exceeding deep Thy ev'ry thought; A foolish man knows not their worth, Nor he whose mind is of the earth. 3 When as the grass the wicked grow, When sinners flourish here below, Then is there endless ruin nigh, But Thou, O Lord, art throned on high; Thy foes shall fall before Thy might, The wicked shall be put to flight. 4 Thou, Lord, hast high exalted me With royal strength and dignity; With Thy anointing I am blest, Thy grace and favor on me rest; I thus exult o'er all my foes, O'er all that would my cause oppose. 5 The righteous man shall flourish well, And in the house of God shall dwell; He shall be like a goodly tree, And all his life shall fruitful be; For righteous is the Lord and just, He is my Rock, in Him I trust. Scripture: Psalm 92 Used With Tune: CHRISTINE

The Righteous and the Evil-Doer

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Old Age First Line: The wicked, watching for their prey Lyrics: 1 The wicked, watching for their prey, Desire the righteous man to slay, But God is on his side; He will not leave him in their hands, Nor count him guilty when he stands In judgment to be tried. 2 Wait on the Lord and keep His way; He will exalt thee, nor delay To give the land to thee; And when the wicked are cut off, The wicked who against thee scoff, Their judgment thou shalt see. 3 The wicked in great pow'r are seen, Like spreading tree with foliage green That grows in native ground. I looked again, they were no more; I sought the men so proud before, But they could not be found. 4 Mark thou the upright day by day, Behold the perfect in his way; His journey ends in peace. Destroyed at once shall rebels be; Cut off from all posterity, Their very name shall cease. 5 Salvation is from God, alone, Whom as their covert saints have known When by sore troubles tried; The Lord Who helped in troubles past Will save them to the very last, For they in Him confide. Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: RAPTURE

The Brevity of Human Life

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Old Age First Line: I constant care will take Lyrics: 1 I constant care will take, Lest sinful words they hear; My lips their silence shall not break While wicked men are near. 2 I dumb and silent stood, No words of mine were heard; I e'en refrained from speaking good, Till sorrow's deeps were stirred. 3 My heart was all on fire, With burning tho'ts suppressed; My tongue was loosed, my soul's desire I then to God addressed. 4 My end, Lord, make me know, My days, how soon they fall; And to my thoughtful spirit show How weak I am and frail. 5 To Thy eternal thought My days are but a span; To Thee my years appear as nought, A breath at best is man. 6 Man lives in empty show, His anxious care is vain, He hoards his wealth, and does not know Who shall possess his gain. Scripture: Psalm 39 Used With Tune: AYLESBURY

Tindley, 1851-1933 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Old Age First Line: Beams of heaven, as I go Refrain First Line: I do not know how long 'twill be Lyrics: 1 Beams of heaven, as I go through this wilderness below, guide my feet in peaceful ways, turn my midnights into days. When in the darkness I would grope, faith always sees a star of hope, and soon from all life's grief and danger I shall be free someday. Refrain: I do not know how long 'twill be, nor what the future holds for me, but this I know: if Jesus leads me, I shall get home someday. 2 Oftentimes my sky is clear, joy abounds without a tear; though a day's so bright begun, clouds may hide tomorrow's sun. There'll be a day that's always bright, a day that never yields to night, and in its light the streets of glory I shall behold someday. [Refrain] 3 Burdens now may crush me down, disappointments all around, troubles speak in mournful sigh, sorrow through a tear stained eye. There is a world where pleasure reigns, no mourning soul shall roam its plains, and to that land of peace and glory I want to go someday.
