O Love Divine
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

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.

When Sins And Fears Prevailing Rise
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 162 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When sins and fears prevailing rise,
And fainting hope almost expires;
Jesus, to Thee I lift my eyes,
To Thee I breathe my soul’s desires.
2 Art Thou not mine, my living Lord?
And can my hope, my comfort die,
Fixed on Thy everlasting word,
That word which built the earth and sky.
3 If my immortal Savior lives,
Then my immortal life is sure;
His word a firm foundation gives,
Here let me build, and rest secure.
4 Here let my faith unshaken dwell,
Immovable the promise stands;
Nor all the powers of earth or hell,
Can e’er dissolve the sacred bands.
5 Here, O my soul, thy trust repose;
If Jesus is for ever mine,
Not death itself, that last of foes,
Shall break a union so divine. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

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.

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.
