They ever cry: Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. Amen. Scripture: Jeremiah 33:16 Used With Tune: LEONI

God is our Refuge and our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: God Divine Perfections of Lyrics: 1 God is our Refuge and our Strength, Our ever present aid, And, therefore, though the earth remove, We will not be afraid; Though hills amidst the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein the Lord Most high has his abode; Since God is in the midst of her, Unmoved her walls shall stand, For God will be her early help, When trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when his voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before his mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: MATERNA Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown

My company before is gone, and I am left alone with thee; with thee all night I mean to stay and wrestle till the break of day. I need not tell thee who I am, my misery and sin declare; thyself hast called me by my name, look on thy hands, and read it there. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. In vain thou strugglest to get free, I never will unloose my hold; art yhou the man that died for me? The secret of thy love unfold; wrestling, I will not let thee go till I thy name, thy nature know. Wilt thou not yet to me reveal thy new, unutterable name? Tell me, I still beseech thee, tell, to know it now resolved I am; wrestling, I will not let thee go, till I thy name, thy nature know. ’Tis all in vain to hold thy tongue or touch the hollow of my thigh; though every sinew be unstrung, out of my arms thou shalt not fly; wrestling I will not let thee go till I thy name, thy nature know. What though my shrinking flesh complain, and murmur to contend so long? I rise superior to my pain: when I am weak then I am strong, and when my all of strength shall fail I shall with the God-man prevail. My strength is gone, my nature dies, I sink beneath thy weighty hand, faint to revive, and fall to rise; I fall, and yet by faith I stand; I stand and will not let thee go till I thy name, thy nature know. Yield to me now -- for I am weak, but confident in self-despair! Speak to my heart, in blessing speak, be conquered by my instant prayer: speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love. ’Tis Love! ’tis Love! thou diedst for me, I hear thy whisper in my heart. The morning breaks, the shadows flee, pure, Universal Love thou art; to me, to all, thy mercies move -- thy nature, and thy name is Love. My prayer hath power with God; the grace unspeakable I now receive; through faith I see thee face to face, I see thee face to face, and live! In vain I have not wept and strove-- thy nature, and thy name is Love. I know thee, Savior, who thou art, Jesus, the feeble sinner’s friend; nor wilt thou with the night depart. but stay and love me to the end: thy mercies never shall remove, thy nature, and thy name is Love. The Sun of Righteousness on me hath rose with healing in his wings: withered my nature’s strength; from thee my soul its life and succor brings; my help is all laid up above; thy nature, and thy name is Love. Contented now upon my thigh I halt, till life’s short journey end; all helplessness, all weakness I on thee alone for strength depend; nor have I power from thee to move: thy nature, and thy name is Love. Lame as I am, I take the prey, hell, earth, and sin, with ease overcome; I leap for joy, pursue my way, and as a bounding hart fly home, through all eternity to prove thy nature, and thy name is Love. Scripture: Genesis 32:24-32
