Increase my feeble faith, Which You alone have wrought. O be my strength and pow'r-- O God, forsake me not! 3 O God, forsake me not! Lord, hear my supplication! In ev'ry evil hour Help me resist temptation; And when the prince of hell My conscience seeks to blot, Be then not far from me-- O God, forsake me not! 4 O God, forsake me not! Lord, I am Yours forever. O keep me strong in faith That I may leave You never. Grant me a blessed end When my good fight is fought; Help me in life and death-- O God, forsake me not!

Thy hand has shielded him And kept him free from harm; In weakness he has leaned On Thy sustaining arm. 3 Thou hast vouchsafed to him Thy Spirit's gift for preaching And talents such as he Most needed in his teaching; Hast filled his heart with love For sinners gone astray And hope for better things, That ne'er shall pass away. 4 O God, continue Thou To send Thy show'rs of blessing Upon Thy servant true, That he, Thy grace possessing, May flourish like a tree Beside the waters pure And yield much precious fruit That shall for aye endure.

Why do the heathen rage?

Author: B. H. Kennedy Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why do the heathen rage? What are the nations dreaming? In vain against the Lord And His Anointed scheming, Kings of the earth arise, And leaguéd rulers say: "Come, let us break their bands, And cast their cords away." 2 He who is throned in heaven Derides their preparation; The Lord upon them pours His scornful indignation: Soon shall His voice of wrath Their souls with terror thrill "Yet I have set my King On Zion's holy hill."-- 3 Now will I cry aloud And tell the Lord's great token: "Thou art My Son," He saith: To me the word was spoken: "Yea, Thee have I this day Begotten: ask of Me, And Thine the heathen, Thine Earth's utmost parts shall be: 4 Beneath Thine iron rod Thy foemen shall be shattered, As by the potter's hand The broken shreds lie scattered." Be wise, then, O ye kings, Ye earthly judges, hear; Serve ye the Lord with awe, Rejoice with trembling fear. 5 Bow down and kiss the Son, Lest, if His wrath awaken, Ye fail and fade away, For evermore forsaken. Soon may His anger burn, A lightly kindled flame; Then blessed are all they That trust His holy name.

Why should we sorrow, Lord, When those we love are taken From this drear vale of tears To realms of bliss above? Hush Thou our griefs and fears, Thou Fount of boundless love. 3 When judgment trumpets wake All who in death are sleeping, To Salem's mansions take The saved in Thy love's keeping.

I hear His warning voice, I feel His loving hand; Temptations and deceits With Him I thus withstand. 4 I know in Whom I trust When peace and joy forsake me, When fain my heart would break, And sorrows overtake me. The suffering of my Lord, His anguish, pain, and woe Remind me of the way We after Him must go. 5 I know in Whom I trust When evening shadows lengthen, When death stands at the door,-- For Christ is there to strengthen. He died upon the cross To conquer death and hell; A Conqueror He rose, And all with us is well. 6 I know in Whom I trust; I praise Him and adore Him; By works I show my faith; My heart I lay before Him; Not only crying, "Lord!" I take Him as my Guide, And thus in life and death In Him alone abide. Amen.

My sins are washed away; For this I thank you, Lord. Now with my heart and soul All evil I abhor. 4 Grant that your Spirit's help To me be always given Lest I should fall again And lose the way to heaven. Grant that he give me strength In my infirmity; May he renew my heart To serve you willingly. 5 O Father, God of love, Now hear my supplication; O Savior, Son of God, Accept my adoration; O Holy Spirit, be My ever faithful guide That I may serve you here And there with you abide.
