Lord of All Being
Author: Oliver W. Holmes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 431 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 136:6-9 First Line: Lord of all being, throned afar Lyrics: 1 Lord of all being, throned afar,
Thy glory flames from sun and star;
Thou art the soul of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, Thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn;
Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn;
Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign;
All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.
4 Grant us Thy truth to make us free,
And kindling hearts that burn for Thee;
Till all Thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame!
Amen. Topics: God God the Almighty and Eternal Used With Tune: LOUVAN

when you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
count your many blessings, name them one by one,
and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
count your blessings, see what God has done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
2 Are you ever burden'd with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,
and you will keep singing as the days go by. [Refrain]
3 When you look at others with their lands and gold,
think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold;
count your many blessings, wealth can never buy
your reward in heaven, nor your home on high. [Refrain]

do not be dishearten'd, God is over all;
count your many blessings, angels will attend,
help and comfort give you to your journey's end. [Refrain] Topics: Hope, Comfort; Struggle, Faith Used With Tune: [When upon life's billows you are tempest-toss'd]

Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-1891 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 136:12 Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
was strong to heal and save;
it triumphed o'er disease and death,
o'er darkness and the grave:
to thee they went, the blind, the dumb,
the palsied and the lame,
the outcasts with their grievances,
the sick with fevered frame.
2 And lo, thy touch brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed and frenzy calmed
owned thee, the Lord of light:
and now, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty as before,
in crowded street, by restless couch,
as by that ancient shore.
3 Be thou our great deliv'rer still,
thou Lord of life and death;
restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
with thine almighty breath:
to hands that work, and eyes that see,
give wisdom's heav'enly lore,
that whole and sick, and weak and strong,
may praise thee evermore. Topics: Healing; Year A Second Sunday Before Lent; Year C Proper 17 Used With Tune: ST MATTHEW

Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song
Meter: Irregular Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 136 Lyrics: 1 Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song;
The joy of my heart and the boast of my tongue:
Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last,
Hath won my affections, and bound my soul fast.
2 Without thy free mercy I could not live here;
Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair:
But, thro' thy free goodness, my spirits revive,
And he that first made me, still keeps me alive.
3 Whene'er I mistake, thy kind mercy begins
To melt me and then I can mourn for my sins;
And, led by the Spirit to Jesus's blood,
My sorrows are dry'd and my strength is renew'd.
4 Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;
Dissolv'd by thy sun-shine, I fall to the ground
And weep to the praise of the mercy I found.
5 Thy mercy is endless, most tender and free;
No sinner need doubt, since 'tis given to me;
No merit will buy it, nor fears stop its course;
Good works are the fruits of its freeness and force.
6 Thy mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell;
Its glories I'll sing, and its wonders I'll tell;
'Twas Jesus my friend when he hung on the tree,
That open'd the channel of mercy for me.
7 Great Father of mercies, thy goodness I own,
And covenant love of thy crucified Son;
All praise to the Spirit whose witness divine
Seals mercy and pardon, and righteousness MINE.
Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song
O happy soul! that lives on high
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 136 Lyrics:
O happy soul that lives on high
While men lie grov'lling here
His hopes are fixed above the sky,
And faith forbids his fear.
His conscience knows no secret stings,
While peace and joy combine
To form a life whose holy springs
Are hidden and divine.
He waits in secret on his God,
His God in secret sees;
Let earth be all in arms abroad,
He dwells in heav'nly peace.
His pleasures rise from things unseen,
Beyond this world and time;
Where neither eyes nor ears have been,
Nor thoughts of sinners climb.
He wants no pomp nor royal throne
To raise his figure here;
Content and pleased to live unknown,
Till Christ, his life, appear.
He looks to heav'n's eternal hill
To meet that glorious day;
But patient waits his Savior's will
To fetch his soul away.
