The Safety of Believers

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: God guards the good with watchful eyes Lyrics: 1 God guards the good with watchful eye, His ear attentive to their cry, Against the wicked sets His face, From earth their mem'ry to erase. 2 The righteous cry, Jehovah hears, And rescues them from all their fears; The Lord draws nigh to broken hearts, To contrite spirits help imparts. 3 Afflictions on the good must fall, But God will bring them safe thro' all; From harmful stroke He will defend, And sure and full deliv'rance send. 4 By evil are the evil slain, The hope of sinful men is fain; The wicked, who the righteous hate, Their condemnation shall be great. 5 The Lord redemption will provide For all who in His grace confide; From condemnation they are clear Who trust in Him with holy fear.

O holy Lord, content to fill

Author: William Walsham How Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O holy Lord, content to fill In lowly home the lowliest place, Thy childhood’s law a mother’s will, Obedience meek Thy brightest grace; 2 Lead every child that bears Thy Name To walk in Thine own guileless way, To dread the touch of sin and shame, And humbly, like Thyself, obey. 3 Gather Thy lambs within Thine arm, And gently in Thy bosom bear; Keep them, O Lord, from hurt and harm, And bid them rest forever there. 4 So shall they, waiting here below, Like Thee, their Lord, a little span, In wisdom and in stature grow, And favor with both God and man. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life The Family Used With Tune: ABENDS

Again, as Evening's Shadow Falls

Author: Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 164 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Again, as evening's shadow falls, We gather in these hallowed walls; And vesper hymn and vesper prayer Rise mingling on the holy air. 2 May struggling hearts that seek release Here find the rest of God's own peace; And, strengthened here by hymn and prayer, Lay down the burden and the care. 3 O God, our light! to Thee we bow; Within all shadows standest Thou; Give deeper calm than night can bring; Give sweeter songs than lips can sing. 4 Life's tumult we must meet again, We cannot at the shrine remain; But in the spirit's secret cell May hymn and prayer forever dwell. Amen. Topics: Contentment; Evening; Opening of Worship; Rest; Trial and Conflict; Worship Evening Scripture: Psalm 92:1-2 Used With Tune: ABENDS

Unless the Lord the House Shall Build

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord the house shall build, the weary builders toil in vain; unless the Lord the city shield, the guards a useless watch maintain. 2 In vain you rise ere morning break, and late your nightly vigils keep, and of the bread of toil partake; God gives to his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children are a great reward, a gift from God in very truth; with arrows is his quiver stored who joys in children of his youth. 4 And blest the man whose age is cheered by stalwart sons and daughters fair; no enemies by him are feared, no lack of love, no want of care.
