Eternal Father, Strong to Save

Author: William Whiting, 1825-1878 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 437 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 12 (Year A) Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm has bound the restless wave, Who bade the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep: Oh, hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea. 2 O Savior, whose almighty word The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walked upon the foaming deep, And calm amid the storm didst sleep: Oh, hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea. 3 O Holy Spirit, who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace: Oh, hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea. 4 O Trinity of love and pow'r, All trav'lers guard in danger's hour From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them where-so-e'er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to thee Glad hymns and praise from land and sea.

I am weak, but you art mighty; Hold me with your pow'rful hand. Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, Feed me now and evermore, Feed me now and evermore. 2 Open now the crystal fountain Where the healing waters flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Strong deliv'rer, strong deliv'rer, Shield me with your mighty arm, Shield me with your mighty arm. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs and praises, songs and praises, I will raise forevermore, I will raise forevermore. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA Text Sources: Tr. composite, alt.

We are the flock he comes to feed, the sheep who by his hand were made. 3 O enter then his gates with joy, with in his courts his praise proclaim. Let thankful songs your tongues employ, O bless and magnify his name. 4 Because the LORD our God is good, his mercy is forever sure. His faithfulness at all times stood and shall from age to age endure. 5 Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

If God Himself Be for Me

Author: Richard Massie, 1800-1887; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1675 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 12 Lyrics: 1 If God himself be for me, I may a host defy; For when I pray, before me My foes, confounded, fly. If Christ, my head and master, Befriend me from above, What foe or what disaster Can drive me from his love? 2 I build on this foundation, That Jesus and his blood Alone are my salvation, The true, eternal good. Without him all that pleases Will vain and empty prove. The gifts I have from Jesus Alone are worth my love. 3 Christ Jesus is my splendor, My sun, my light, alone; Were he not my defender Before God’s awesome throne, I never should find favor And mercy in his sight, But be destroyed forever As darkness by the light. 4 For joy my heart is ringing; All sorrow disappears; And full of mirth and singing, It wipes away all tears. The sun that cheers my spirit Is Jesus Christ, my king; The heav'n I shall inherit Makes me rejoice and sing. Used With Tune: IST GOTT FÜR MICH
