Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #580 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Trial of our hearts Lyrics: Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er, They strike me with surprise; Not all the sands that spread the shore To equal numbers rise. My flesh with fear and wonder stands, The product of thy skill; And hourly blessings from thy hands Thy thoughts of love reveal. These on my heart by night I keep; How kind, how dear to me! O may the hour that ends my sleep Still find my thoughts with thee! Scripture: Psalm 139:17-18 Languages: English

Alas! what hourly dangers rise!

Author: Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #619 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious God! in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid; Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee! And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee. Scripture: Psalm 56:13

God of my life, whose gracious power

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #620 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power Through varied deaths my soul hath led, Or turned aside the fatal hour, Or lifted up my sinking head: 2 In all my ways, thy hand I own-- Thy ruling providence I see: Assist me still my course to run, And still direct my paths to thee. 3 Whither, oh, whither should I fly, But to my loving Saviour's breast! Secure within thine arms to lie, And safe beneath thy wings to rest. 4 I have no skill the snare to shun, But thou, O Christ, my wisdom art: I ever into ruin run, But thou art greater than my heart. 5 Foolish, and impotent, and blind, Lead me a way I have not known; Bring me where I my heaven may find-- The heaven of loving thee alone. Scripture: Isaiah 42:16

Scripture: Jeremiah 12:1

The darkened sky, how thick it lowers!

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #622 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 The darkened sky, how thick it lowers! Troubled with storms, and big with showers, No cheerful gleam of light appears, But nature pours forth all her tears. 2 Yet let the sons of grace revive; He bids the soul that seeks him, live; And from the gloomiest shade of night Calls forth a morning of delight. 3 The seeds of ecstasy unknown Are in these watered furrows sown; See the green blades, how thick they rise, And with fresh verdure bless our eyes! 4 In secret foldings they contain Unnumbered ears of golden grain; And heaven shall pour its beams around, Till the ripe harvest load the ground.

Affliction is a stormy deep

Author: Cotton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #624 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 Affliction is a stormy deep, Where wave resounds to wave; Though o'er our heads the billows roll, We know the Lord can save. 2 When darkness, and when sorrows rose, And pressed on every side, The Lord hath still sustained our steps, And still hath been our Guide. 3 Perhaps, before the morning dawn, He will restore our peace; For he who bade the tempest roar, Can bid the tempest cease. 4 Here will we rest, here build our hopes, Nor murmur at his rod; He's more to us than all the world, Our Health, our Life, our God. Scripture: Psalm 42

Jesus, these eyes have never seen

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #625 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen That radiant form of thine; The vail of sense hangs dark between Thy blessed face and mine. 2 I see thee not, I hear thee not, Yet art thou oft with me; And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot As where I meet with thee. 3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought When slumbers o'er me roll, Thine image ever fills my thought And charms my ravished soul. 4 Yet, though I have not seen, and still Must rest in faith alone, I love thee, dearest Lord, and will, Unseen, but not unknown. 5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, And still this throbbing heart, The rending vail shall thee reveal, All glorious as thou art. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12

Jesus, the very thought of thee

Author: Bernard Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #626 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee With sweetness fills the breast; But sweeter far thy face to see, And in thy presence rest. 2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, Nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than thy blest Name, A Saviour of mankind! 3 O hope of every contrite heart, O joy of all the meek-- To those who fall, how kind thou art, How good to those who seek. 4 But what to those who find? ah, this Nor tongue nor pen can show: The love of Jesus, what it is None but his loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our only joy be thou, As thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be thou our glory now And through eternity. Scripture: Song of Solomon 5:10-16

God of my life, to thee I call

Author: Cowper Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #627 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to thee I call; Afflicted, at thy feet I fall; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail. 2 Friend of the friendless and the faint, Where should I lodge my deep complaint? Where, but with thee, whose open door Invites the helpless and the poor? 3 Did ever mourner plead with thee, And thou refuse that mourner's plea? Does not the word still fixed remain, That none shall seek thy face in vain? 4 Poor though I am, despised, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not; And he is safe and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead. Scripture: Psalm 9:18
