Contentment

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #420 (1890) Topics: Christians Graces; Graces, Christian; Christians Graces; Graces, Christian First Line: O Lord, how full of sweet content Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content Our years of pilgrimage are spent! Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee, In heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To us remains nor place nor time: Our country is in every clime: We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 Could we be cast where thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all.

Reasons for Praise

Hymnal: The Psalter #402 (1912) Topics: Christians Graces of First Line: O sing ye Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 O sing ye Hallelujah! 'Tis good our God to praise; 'Tis pleasant and becoming To Him our songs to raise; He builds the walls of Zion, He seeks her wand'ring sons, He binds their wounds and comforts The brokenhearted ones. 2 The starry host He numbers, He calls them all by name; His greatness and His wisdom His wondrous works proclaim; The meek He lifts to honor, he humbles sinful pride; Give thanks to Him and utter His praises far and wide. 3 The heav'ns with clouds He covers, He sends the cheering rain; The slopes of all the mountains He fills with grass and grain; To beast and bird His goodness Their daily food supplies; He cares for all His creatures, Attentive to their cries. 4 No human pow'r delights Him, No earthly pomp or pride; He loves the meek who fear Him And in His love confide; Then praise thy God, O Zion, His gracious aid confess; He gives thee peace and plenty, His gifts thy children bless. 5 He sends His swift commandment, And snow and ice enfold The world, and none are able To stand before His cold. Again He gives commandment; The winds of summer blow, The snow and ice are melted, Again the waters flow. 6 His statutes and His judgments He makes His people know; To them as to no others His grace He loves to show; For matchless grace and mercy Your grateful praises bring; To Him give thanks forever, And Hallelujah sing.

'tis all in vain, And all in vain our fear; Our stubborn sins will fight and reign, If love be absent there. 3 'Tis love, that makes our cheerful feet In swift obedience move. The devils know, and tremble too; But devils do not love. 4 This is the grace, that lives and sings, When faith and hope shall cease. 'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings In the sweet realms of bliss.
