Hallowed Memories

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: God Attributes of First Line: I thought upon the days of old Lyrics: 1 I thought upon the days of old, The years departed long, I held communion with my heart, By night recalled my song. My heart inquired with anxious care, Will God forever spurn? Shall we no more His favor see? Will mercy ne'er return? 2 Forever shall His promise fail? Has God forgotten grace? Has He withdrawn His tender love, In anger hid His face? These doubts are my infirmity, My thoughts at once reply; I call back years of God's right hand, The years of God Most High. 3 I will commemorate, O Lord, Thy wondrous deeds of old, And meditate upon Thy works Of pow'r and grace untold. O God, most holy is Thy way, Most perfect, good, and right; Thou art the only living God, The God of wondrous might. Scripture: Psalm 77 Used With Tune: AULD LANG SYNE

Mighty God! while angels bless thee

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 290 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Mighty God! while angels bless thee, May a mortal lisp thy name? Lord of men, as well as angels! Thou art every creature's theme: 2 Lord of every land and nation! Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation Be thy just and awful praise. 3 For the grandeur of thy nature Grand, beyond a seraph's thought; For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought; 4 For thy providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow, Blessed be thy gentle reign. 5 For thy rich, thy free redemption Bright, though vailed in darkness long Thought is poor, and poor, expression; Who can sing that wondrous song? 6 Christ the brightness of thy glory, By thy mercy came to die; How can mortal tongue be silent? How can praise unmuttered lie? 7 Leaving all his exaltation, Bearing all our sin and woe, O, what love divine was shown us! Flow, my praise, forever flow. Used With Tune: WELLESLEY

Eternal Source of every joy

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 375 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of every joy, Well may thy praise our lips employ While in thy temple we appear, To hail thee Sovereign of the year! Wide as the wheels of nature roll, Thy hand supports and guides the whole: The sun is taught by thee to rise, And darkness when to vail the skies 2 The flowery spring, at thy command Perfumes the air, adorns the land; The summer rays with vigor shine, To raise the corn, to cheer the vine: Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours Through all our coasts redundant stores; And winters, softened by thy care, No more the face of horror wear. 3 Seasons and months, and weeks and days, Demand successive songs of praise; And be the grateful homage paid, With morning light and evening shade. Here in thy house let incense rise, And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes, Till to those lofty heights we sour, Where days and years revolve no more. Used With Tune: CREATION

God of my life, whose gracious power

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Wisdom Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power Through varied scenes my soul hath led, Or turned aside the fatal hour, Or lifted up my sinking head, 2 In all my ways thy hand I own, Thy ruling providence I see; Assist me still my course to run, And still direct my paths to thee. 3 How do thy mercies close me round! Forever be thy name adored; I blush in all things to abound; The servant of a gracious Lord. 4 I have no skill the snare to shun, But Thou O God, my wisdom art: I ever into danger run, But thou art greater than my heart. 5 I rest beneath thy kindly shade; My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.

Thou didst, O mighty God, exist

Author: Mrs. Rowe Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Eternity Lyrics: 1 Thou didst, O mighty God, exist Ere time began its race-- Before the ample elements Filled up the void of space. 2 Before the ponderous earthly globe In fluid air was stayed, Before the ocean's mighty springs Their liquid stores displayed-- 3 Ere through the gloom of ancient night The streaks of light appeared, Before the high celestial arch Or starry poles were reared-- 4 Ere man adored, or angels knew Or praised thy wondrous name, Thy bliss, O sacred Spring of life, And glory, were the same. 5 And when the pillars of the world With sudden ruin break, And all this vast and goodly frame Sinks in the mighty wreck-- 6 When from her orb the moon shall start, Th' astonished sun roll back, While all the trembling starry lamps Their ancient course forsake-- 7 Forever permanent and fixed, From agitation free, Unchanged in everlasting years Shall thy existence be. Scripture: Psalm 90:1-2
