Springs and Streams no Longer Bless

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #229 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Goodness of God Lyrics: 1 Springs and streams no longer bless All the dry and thirsty land; Fertile fields in verdant dress God converts to desert sand; For that they who dwell therein Turn to wickedness and sin. 2 Once again the waters well, All the desert blossoms fair; There He makes the hungry dwell, There a city they prepare, Plant their vines and sow their fields, And the earth her increase yields. 3 Now He blessed them indeed, They are greatly multiplied; On the hills their cattle feed, Fast increasing, spreading wide; Then again they are brought low Through oppression, grief, and woe. 4 His contempt the princes taste; Driven out they helpless fly, Wandering in the trackless waste; But He lifts the needy high, Where no evil shall annoy, And with children gives him joy. 5 When His righteous judgments come, Strong to bless and to destroy, All iniquity is dumb, All the righteous sing for joy; Who Jehovah wisely heed, In His works His mercy read.

Sometimes a light surprises

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #368 (1870) Topics: Goodness of God a ground of trust Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, Who rises With healing in His wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens Will give His children bread. 4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree Its wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, Yis praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LVIII (1766) Topics: Goodness of God Lyrics: 1 Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis! And Days how swift they are; Swift as an Indian Arrow flies, Or like a shooting Star. [2 The present Moments just appear, Then slide away in Haste, That we can never say, They're here, But only say, They're past.] [3 Our Life is ever on the Wing, And Death is ever nigh; The Moment when our Lives begin, We all begin to die.] 4 Yet, mighty God, our fleeting Days Thy lasting Favours share; Yet with the Bounties of thy Grace, Thou load'st the rolling Year. 5 'Tis sov'reign Mercy finds us Food, And we are cloath'd by Love; While Grace stands pointing out the Road That leads our Souls above. 6 His Goodness runs an endless Round, All Glory to the Lord: His Mercy never knows a Bound, And be his Name ador'd! 7 Thus we begin the lasting Song, And when we close our Eyes, Let the next Age thy Praise prolong Till Time and Nature dies.
