God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand

Thy true religion in our hearts increase. Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace. 4 Refresh thy people on their toilsome way. Lead us from night to never-ending day. Fill all our lives with love and grace divine, and glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.

Amen. Topics: Adoration and Praise; God Eternity and Power; God Life; God Light; God Nature, in; Nature; God the Father His Eternity and Power Used With Tune: JOANNA

The morning flowers display their sweets

Author: S. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 171 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:8 Lyrics: 1 The morning flowers display their sweets, And gay their silken leaves unfold, As careless of the noontide heats, As fearless of the evening cold. 2 Nipped by the wind's untimely blast, Parched by the sun's directer ray, The momentary glories waste, The short-lived beauties die away. 3 So blooms the human face divine, When youth its pride of beauty shows; Fairer than spring the colors shine, And sweeter than the virgin rose. 4 Or worn by slowly-rolling years, Or broke by sickness in a day The fading glory disappears, The short-lived beauties die away. 5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb, With luster brighter far shall shine! Revive with ever-during bloom, Safe from diseases and decline. 6 Let sickness blast, let death devour, If heaven must recompense our pains; Perish the grass, and fade the flower, If firm the word of God remains. Topics: Life and Death; Sown in Weakness, Raised in Power
