O God, Whose Law From Age To Age

Author: John Hayes Holmes Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Glorifying God Lyrics: 1 O God, whose law from age to age, No chance or change can know, Whose love forever more abides, While aeons come and go; From all the strife of earthly life, To Thine embrace we flee, And ’mid our crowding doubts and fears Would put our trust in Thee. 2 The winds, Thy faithful messengers, Are guided by Thy hand, Thy ministers, the flames of fire, Obey Thy stern command; The seas resound within the bound Where Thy dominion reigns, And wheeling planets seek the paths Thy mighty will ordains. 3 Thy holy purpose moves before The nations on their way, And leads the stumbling hosts of men From darkness into day. No captain’s sword, no prophet’s word, But Thy great mercy prove; No clime or kindred but attest Thy providence of love. 4 Dear Father, we would learn to trust The doing of Thy will, And in Thy perfect law of love Our doubts and fears would still. Help us to know, in joy or woe, Thy ways are always best, And we, Thy children evermore, By Thy great goodness blest. AMEN. Used With Tune: ST LEONARD

Of All the Thoughts of God That Are

Author: Elizabeth B Browning Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Glorifying God Lyrics: 1 Of all the thoughts of God that are Borne inward into souls afar, Along the psalmist's music deep, Now tell me if there any is, For gift or grace surpassing this: "He giveth His beloved sleep"? 2 What would we give to our beloved,– The hero's heart to be unmoved, The poet's star-tuned harp, to sweep, The patriot's voice, to teach and rouse, The monarch's crown, to light the brows? He giveth His beloved sleep. 3 "Sleep soft, beloved!" we sometimes say, Who have no tune to charm away Sad dreams that through the eyelids creep, But never doleful dream again Shall break the happy slumber when He giveth His beloved sleep. 4 His dews drop mutely on the hill, His cloud above it saileth still, Though on its slope men sow and reap; More softly than the dew is shed, Or cloud is floated overhead. He giveth His beloved sleep. AMEN. Used With Tune: PATER OMNIUM

Scripture: Psalm 69:7-36
