See, The Destruction Is Begun

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 See, the destruction is begun, And heaps of ruin spread the ground; With hasty strides it marches on, And scatters consternation round. 2 Sinners in Zion take th’alarm, The hypocrites astonished cry, "Who with devouring flames can dwell? Who in eternal burnings lie?" 3 God’s gracious voice the saint revives, How sweet the heav’nly accents sound! "Dwell thou on high, My child," He says, "Where rocks shall guard thee all around." 4 "There shall My hand thy wants supply, Thy water and thy bread are sure; There shall My visits make thee glad, While these alarming scenes endure." 5 "Then, led in joyous triumph forth, Thine eyes the distant land shall view, Shall see thy king in beauty dressed, And share His royal honors, too." 6 My soul the oracle receives, And feels its energy to cheer; A promised Heav’n, a present God, Forbids my grief, forbids my fear.

Great God, To Thee My Evening Song

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, to Thee my evening song With humble gratitude I raise; O let Thy mercy tune my tongue And fill my heart with lively praise. 2 Mercy, that rich unbounded store; Does my unnumbered wants relieve; Among Thy daily craving poor, On Thy all bounteous hand I live. 3 My days unclouded, as they pass, And every gently rolling hour, Are monuments of wondrous grace, And witness to Thy love and power. 4 Thy love and power, celestial Guard, Preserve me from surrounding harms; Can danger reach me, while the Lord Extends His kind protecting arms? 5 My numerous wants are known to Thee, Ere my slow wishes can arise; Thy goodness, measureless and free, Is ready still with full supplies. 6 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart, Too oft regardless of Thy love, Ungrateful, can from Thee depart, And fond of trifles, vainly rove. 7 When calm reflection finds a place, How vile this wretched heart appears! O let Thy all subduing grace Melt it in penitential tears. 8 Seal my forgiveness in the blood Of Jesus: His dear name alone I plead for pardon, gracious God, And kind acceptance at Thy throne. 9 Let this blest hope my eyelids close With sleep refresh my feeble frame; Safe in Thy care may I repose, And wake with praises to Thy name.

They heed your voice; they know it well; In godly wisdom they excel. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be With you, Lord Jesus, and to keep Your little flock, your lambs and sheep. 4 The ancient dragon is their foe; His envy and his wrath they know. So now he subtly lies in wait To ruin school and church and state. 5 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on ev'ry hand To guard his people where they go And break the counsel of the foe. 6 O Lord, awaken songs of praise For angel hosts that guard our days; Teach us to serve you and adore As angels do forevermore.
