Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 491 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92:1 Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand.
The op'ning year Thy mercy shows;
Let mercy crowns it till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God,
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit
And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
Be Thou our Joy, and Thou our Rest.
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt our songs
And seal in silence mortal tongues,
Our Helper, God, in whom we trust,
In better worlds our soul shall boast.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year New Year Used With Tune: MENDON

Again, as Evening's Shadow Falls
Author: Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 162 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92:1-2 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 Used With Tune: ABENDS
Again, as Evening's Shadow Falls
Oh what their joy and their glory must be
Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: 1 Oh what their joy and their glory must be,
those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see,
crowns for the valiant, to weary ones rest:
God shall be all and in all ever blest.
2 Truly, "Jerusalem" name we that shore,
city of peace that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment are not severed there,
nor do things prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
we the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing,
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
4 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh,
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
5 Low before God with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
of whom, the Father, and through whom, the Son,
in whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.

Author: L. N. M. Meter: 13.13.13.13.7.7.12.7 Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92:12-14 First Line: Of Jesus' love that sought me, when I was lost in sin Lyrics: 1 Of Jesus’ love that sought me, when I was lost in sin;
Of wondrous grace that brought me back to His fold again;
Of heights and depths of mercy, far deeper than the sea,
And higher than the heavens, my theme shall ever be.
Refrain:
Sweeter as the years go by,
Sweeter as the years go by,
Richer, fuller, deeper, Jesus’ love is sweeter,
Sweeter as the years go by.
2 He trod in old Judea life’s pathway long ago;
The people thronged about Him, His saving grace to know;
He healed the brokenhearted, and caused the blind to see;
And still His great heart yearneth in love for even me. [Refrain]
3 ’Twas wondrous love which led Him for us to suffer loss,
To bear without a murmur the anguish of the cross;
With saints redeemed in glory, let us our voices raise,
Till Heav’n and earth re-echo with our Redeemer’s praise. [Refrain] Topics: Experience Used With Tune: [Of Jesus' love that sought me, when I was lost in sin] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Sweeter_as_the_Years_Go_By); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (113)

The Man Is Ever Blessed
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92:12-14 Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blessed
Who shuns the sinners' ways,
Among their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorners' place.
2 But makes the Law of God
His study and delight
Amid the labors of the day
And watches of the night.
3 He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live,
His works are heav'nly fruit.
4 Not so the wicked race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before the judgment seat
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and He approves
The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overflow.
