Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling Place

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4042 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or Thou hadst formed the earth; From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2. At Thy command man fades and dies And newborn generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watchers of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3. Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before the swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant ’neath the morning sun And withered ere the day is done. 4. Man in Thine anger is consumed, And unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5. For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life’s day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and reverent thought Can fear Thine anger as he ought? 6. O teach Thou us to count our days And set our hearts on wisdom’s ways Turn, Lord, to us in our distress In pity now Thy servants bless; Let mercy’s dawn dispel our night, And all our day with joy be bright. 7. O send the day of joy and light, For long has been our sorrow’s night; Afflicted through the weary years, We wait until Thy help appears; In all Thy children Thou abide, In us let God be glorified. 8. So let there be on us bestowed The beauty of the Lord our God; The work accomplished by our hand Establish Thou, and make it stand; Yea, let our hopeful labor be Established evermore by Thee.

Lord, Thou Hast Favor Shown Thy Land

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4046 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Lord, Thou hast favor shown Thy land, Restored again thy captive band; Thy people’s sins Thou pardoned hast, And all their guilt has covered o’er, Removed from them Thy anger sore, All Thy fierce wrath behind Thee cast. 2. In grace Thy people, Lord, return, No longer let Thy anger burn; Wilt Thou forever angry be? Through ages shall Thy wrath survive? Wilt Thou not us again revive, That so we may rejoice in Thee? 3. O Lord, to us Thy mercy show, And Thy salvation now bestow; We wait to hear what God will say; Peace to His people He will speak, And to His saints, but let them seek No more in folly’s path to stray.

Lord, While Afar Our Brothers Fight

Author: Somerset C. Lowry Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4089 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Lord, while afar our brothers fight, Thy Church united lifts her prayer; Be Thou their Shield by day and night; Guide, guard, and help them everywhere: O God of battles, hear our cry, And in their danger be Thou nigh. 2. For those who, wounded in the fray, Are ling’ring still on beds of pain, Who to their loved ones far away May nevermore return again, O God of pity, hear our cry, And in their anguish be Thou nigh. 3. For wives and mothers sore distressed, For all who wait in silent fear, For homes bereaved which gave their best, For hearts now desolate and drear, O God of comfort, hear our cry, And in the darkest hour draw nigh. 4. Spare us, good Lord! If just the strife, Yet still from guilt we are not free; Forgive our blind and careless life, Our oft forgetfulness of Thee. O God of mercy, hear our cry, And to our contrite souls draw nigh. 5. We bow beneath the chastening rod, To us the sin and shame belong, But Thou art righteous, Thou art God, And right shall triumph over wrong. In Thee we trust, to Thee we cry; Lord, now and ever be Thou nigh. Languages: English Tune Title: MATLOCK

As Man and Woman We Were Made

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4161 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. As man and woman we were made That love be found and life begun, So praise the Lord who made us two, And praise the Lord when two are one; Praise for the love that comes to life Through child or parent, husband, wife. 2. Now Jesus lived and gave His love To make our life and loving new; So celebrate with Him today And drink the joy He offers you; That makes the simple moment shine And changes water into wine. 3. And Jesus died to live again, So praise the love that, come what may, Can bring the dawn and clear the skies, And waits to wipe all tears away; And let us hope for what shall be, Believing where we cannot see. 4. Then spread the table, clear the hall, And celebrate till day is done; Let peace go deep between us all And joy be shared by everyone; Laugh and make merry with your friends, And praise the love that never ends!

The Master Comes! He Calls for Thee

Author: Emily M. Crawford Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4186 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The Master comes! He calls for thee— Go forth at His almighty word, Obedient to His last command, And tell to those who never heard, Who sit in deepest shades of night, That Christ has come to give them light. 2. The Master calls! Arise and go; How blest His messenger to be! He, who hath given thee liberty, Now bids thee set the captives free; Proclaim His mighty power to save, Who for the world His lifeblood gave. 3. The Master calls! Shall not thy heart In warm responsive love reply, Lord, here am I; send me, send me, Thy willing slave, to live or die— An instrument unfit indeed, Yet Thou wilt give me what I need? 4. And if thou canst not go, yet bring An offering of a willing heart; Then, though thou tarriest at home, Thy God shall give thee too thy part; The messengers of peace upbear In ceaseless and prevailing prayer. 5. Short is the time for service true, For soon shall dawn that glorious day When, all the harvest gathered in, Each faithful heart shall hear Him say, My child, well done! your toil is o’er— Enter My joy forevermore.

Messiah, Joy of Every Heart

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4212 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Messiah, joy of every heart, Thou, thou the King of Glory art! The Father’s everlasting Son! Thee it delights Thy Church to own; For all our hopes on Thee depend, Whose glorious mercies never end. 2. Bent to redeem a sinful race, Thou, Lord, with unexampled grace, Into our lower world didst come, And stoop to a poor virgin’s womb; Whom all the heavens could not contain, Our God appeared a child of man! 3. When Thou hadst rendered up Thy breath, And dying drawn the sting of death, Thou didst from earth triumphant rise, And ope the portals of the skies, That all who trust in Thee alone Might follow, and partake Thy throne. 4. Seated at God’s right hand again, Thou dost in all His glory reign, Thou dost, Thy Father’s image, shine, In all the attributes divine; And Thou with judgment clad shalt come To seal our everlasting doom. 5. Wherefore we now for mercy pray; O Savior, take our sins away! Before Thou as our judge appear, In dreadful majesty severe, Appear our advocate with God, And save the purchase of Thy blood. 6. Hallow, and make Thy servants meet, And with Thy saints in glory seat; Sustain and bless us by Thy sway, And keep to that tremendous day, When all Thy church shall chant above, The new eternal song of love.

The Mighty God, Jehovah, Speaks

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4260 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The mighty God, Jehovah, speaks And calls the earth from sea to sea; From beauteous Zion God shines forth, He comes and will not silent be; Devouring flame before Him goes, And dark the tempest round Him grows. 2. He calls aloud to Heaven and earth That He may justly judge His own: My chosen saints together bring Who sacrifice to Me alone; The heav’ns His righteousness declare, For God Himself as judge is there. 3. Hear, O My people, I will speak, Against thee I will testify; Give ear to Me, O Israel, For God, thy covenant God, am I; I do not spurn thy sacrifice, Thy offerings are before My eyes. 4. I will receive from out thy fold No offering for My holy shrine; The cattle on a thousand hills And all the forest beasts are Mine; Each mountain bird to Me is known, Whatever roams the field I own. 5. Behold, if I should hungry grow, I would not tell My need to thee, For all the world itself is Mine, And all its wealth belongs to Me; Why should I aught of thee receive, My thirst or hunger to relieve? 6. Bring thou to God the gifts of thanks, And pay thy vows to God Most High; Call ye upon My holy name In days when sore distress is nigh; Deliverance I will send to thee, And praises thou shalt give to Me.

My Savior! I Behold Thy Life

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4358 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. My Savior! I behold Thy life Of not one smile and many tears; I mark the spiritual strife, Thy human woes, Thy human fears, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 2. I watch Thine agonizing hour, I see Thee by Thine own betrayed, Alone in Pilate’s craven power, And scourged and scornfully arrayed, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 3. I see Thee fainting on Thy way, Reviled and mocked of all the throng, I hear the bitter words they say, The abject’s sneer, the drunkard’s song, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 4. That sin in every taunt I hear, And see in every look of scorn; It is the cross which Thou dost bear, The sharpness of Thy crown of thorn: Dear Lord, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 5. My Savior, I behold Thy death, I hear Thy cries, Thy last words seven, I see the scowling gaze beneath, Above, the darkened face of Heaven, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 6. My Savior, I behold Thy grave In that still garden’s awful gloom, I see Thee lying there to save My soul from an eternal tomb, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 7. And yet with all I hear and see Of Death, or Passion of Thy life, Sweet hopes are ministered to me And voices fall with comfort rife, That say, Because He lived and died, From sin thou canst be purified!
