How are thy servants blest, O Lord!

Author: Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 321 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:5 Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defense! Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass unhurt, And breathe in tainted air. 3 When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will; The sea that roars at thy command, At thy command is still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we'll adore; We'll praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 6 Our life, while thou preservest that life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And death, when death shall be out lot, Shall join our souls to thee.

Fountain of mercy, God of love

Author: Anna Flowerdew Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:11 Lyrics: 1 Fountain of mercy, God of love, How rich thy bounties are! The rolling seasons, as they move, Proclaim thy constant care. 2 When in the bosom of the earth The sower hid the grain, Thy goodness marked its secret birth, And sent the early rain. 3 The spring's sweet influence, Lord, was thine; The plants in beauty grew; Thou gavest refulgent suns to shine, And the refreshing dew. 4 These various mercies from above Matured the swelling grain; A kindly harvest crowns thy love, And plenty fills the plain. 5 We own and bless thy gracious sway; Thy hand all nature hails: Seed-time nor harvest, night nor day, Summer nor winter fails.
