Thine endless wisdom, boundless power, And awful purity! 4 O how I fear thee, living God! With deepest, tenderest fears; And worship thee with trembling hope And penitential tears. 5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord!

Father of spirits, nature's God

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Omnipresence Lyrics: 1 Father of spirits, natures's God, Our inmost thoughts are known to thee; Thou, Lord, canst hear each idle word, And every private action see. 2 Could we, on morning's swiftest wings, Pursue our flight through trackless air, Or dive beneath deep ocean's springs, Thy presence still would meet us there. 3 In vain may guilt attempt to fly, Concealed beneath the pall of night; One glance from thy all-piercing eye Can kindle darkness into light. 4 Search thou our hearts, and there destroy Each evil thought, each secret sin, And fit us for those realms of joy, Where nought impure shall enter in. Scripture: Psalm 139:1-6

Day by Day

Author: Caroline V. Sandell-Berg; A. L. Skoog Meter: Irregular Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God First Line: Day by day and with each passing moment Lyrics: 1 Day by day and with each passing moment, Strength I find to meet my trials here; Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment, I've no cause for worry or for fear. He whose heart is kind beyond all measure Gives unto each day what He deems best– Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, Mingling toil with peace and rest. 2 Ev'ry day the Lord Himself is near me With a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counselor and Pow'r. The protection of His child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid; "As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure," This the pledge to me He made. 3 Help me then in ev'ry tribulation So to trust Thy promises, O Lord, That I lose not faith's sweet consolation Offered me within Thy holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E'er to take, as from a father's hand, One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, Till I reach the Promised Land. Used With Tune: BLOTT EN DAG

Yea, may none be put to shame, None who wait for Thee to bless; But dishonored be their name Who without a cause transgress. 2 Lord, to me Thy ways make known, Guide in truth and teach Thou me; Thou my Saviour art alone, All the day I wait for Thee. Lord, remember in Thy love All Thy mercies manifold, Tender mercies from above, Changeless from the days of old. 3 Sins of youth remember not, Nor my trespasses record; Let not mercy be forgot, For Thy goodness' sake, O Lord. Just and good the Lord abides He His way will sinners show He the meek in justice guides Making them His way to know. Scripture: Psalm 25 Used With Tune: SPANISH HYMN
