O LORD! how happy should we be

Author: J. Austice Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Providence Lyrics: 1 O LORD! how happy should we be, If we could cast our care on Thee-- If we from self could rest; And feel at heart that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best. 2 How far from this our daily life! Ever disturbed by anxious strife, By sudden, wild alarms; Oh could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall On thy Almighty arms! 3 Could we but kneel, and cast our load, E'en while we pray, upon our God, Then rise with lightened cheer-- Sure that the Father, who is nigh To still the famished raven's cry, Will hear, in that we fear! 4 We can not trust him as we should, So chafes fall'n nature's restless mood To cast its peace away; Yet birds and flowerets round us preach, All, all the present evil teach, Sufficient for the day. 5 Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours Such lesson learn from birds and flowers; Make them from self to cease; Leave all things to a Father's will, And taste, before him lying still, E'en in affliction, peace.

With songs and honors sounding loud

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Providence Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heavens he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends his showers of blessings down, To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 4 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 5 He sends his word and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 6 When from his dreadful stores on high He pours the sounding hail, The wretch that dares his God defy, Shall find his courage fail. 7 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honors sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 74:16

Lest the great glory from on high

Author: Alice Cary Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Attributes of God Fatherhood Lyrics: 1 Lest the great glory from on high Should make our senses swim, Our blessed Lord hath spread the sky Between ourselves and him. 2 He made the Sabbath shine before The workdays and the care, And set about its golden door The messengers of prayer. 3 He nearest comes when most his face Is wrapped in clouds of gloom; The firmest pillars of his grace Are planted in the tomb. 4 Oh, shall we not the power of sin And vanity withstand, When thus our Father holds us in The hollow of his hand?

Of Omnipresent Grace I sing

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God Lyrics: 1 Of Omnipresent Grace I sing; For, though I take the morning's wing And dwell beyond the outer sea, Yet art Thou present there with me. 2 Thy hand shall lead me by the way, Thy right hand be my staff and stay; Though darkness compass me around, Night shall be light where Thou art found. 3 Where Thou art, darkness cannot stay, Thou turnest darkness into day; Both night and light are one to Thee: In darkness Thou still seest me. 4 Thine eye beheld me yet unborn, And watched my steps from earliest morn; My ways are written in Thy book: By Thee I live, to Thee I look. 5 Thy thoughts are precious to my heart; Thy presence bids all care depart; I lay me down, Thou art with me; I wake-- and still I am with Thee. 6 Lord, try my way and me anew; Prove Thou my heart and make it true, And lead me in the better way, To life, to Thee--for aye and aye.
