God of my life, look gently down

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, look gently down, Behold the pains I feel; But I am dumb before thy throne, Nor dare dispute thy will. 2 Diseases are thy servants, Lord; They come at thy command: I'll not attempt a murm'ring word Against thy chast'ning hand. 3 Yet I may plead with humble cries, 'Remove thy sharp rebukes;' My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes. 4 Crush'd as a moth beneath thy hand, We moulder to the dust; Our feeble pow'rs can ne'er withstand, And all our beauty's lost. [This mortal life decays apace, How soon the bubble's broke! Adam and all his num'rous race Are vanity and smoke.] I'm but a sojourner below, As all my fathers were; May I be well prepared to go, When I the summons hear. But if my life be spared awhile, Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my business still, And I'll declare thy love. Scripture: Psalm 39:9-13

Scripture: Psalm 45

And will the God of Grace

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And will the God of Grace Perpetual silence keep? The God of justice hold his peace, And let his vengeance sleep? 2 Behold, what cursed snares The men of mischief spread! The men that hate thy saints and thee, Lift up their threat'ning head. 3 Against thy hidden ones Their counsels they employ, And malice, with her watchful eye, Pursues them to destroy. 4 The noble and the base Into thy pastures leap; The lion and the stupid ass Conspire to vex thy sheep. 5 'Come, let us join,' they cry, 'To root them from the ground, 'Till not the name of saints remain, 'Nor mem'ry shall be found.' 6 Awake, almighty God, And call thy wrath to mind; Give them like forests to the fire, Or stubble to the wind. 7 Convince their madness, Lord, And make them seek thy name; Or else their stubborn rage confound, That they may die in shame. 8 Then shall the nations know That glorious, dreadful word, Jehovah is thy name alone, And thou the sov'reign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 83

Among the princes, earthly Gods

Scripture: Psalm 86:8-13

What wonders are of Zion told! Thou city of our God below, Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know. 4 Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew, Shall there begin their lives anew; Angels and men shall join to sing The hill where living waters spring. 5 When God makes up his last account Of natives in his holy mount, 'Twill be an honor to appear As one new-born or nourish'd there!

Scripture: Psalm 149

My eyes consum'd with grief? How long, my God, how long before Thine hand afford relief? 5 He hears when dust and ashes speak, He pities all our groans; And saves us for his mercy’s sake, And heals our broken bones. 6 The virtue of his sov'reign word Restores our fainting breath: For silent graves praise not the Lord, Nor is he known in death.
