Fountain of good, all blessing flows From Thee; no want Thy fulness knows; What but Thyself canst Thou Yet, self-sufficient as Thou art, Thou dost desire my worthless heart; This, only this, dost Thou require. 5. O God, of good the unfathomed Sea! Who would not give his heart to Thee? Who would not love Thee with his might? O Jesus, Lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength, to Thee unite? Used With Tune: LUCERNE

Lord, Through All the Generations

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Good Works Lyrics: 1 Lord, through all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: EMMELAR (RICHARDS)

Pause. 5 Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his Clouds all round the Sky; There he prepares the fruitful Rain, Nor lets the Drops descend in vain. 6 He makes the Grass the Hills adorn; And cloaths the smiling Fields with Corn; The Beasts with Food his Hands supply, And the young Ravens when they cry. 7 What is the Creature's Skill or Force, The sprightly Man, the warlike Horse, The nimble Wit, the active Limb? All are too mean Delights for him. 8 But Saints are lovely in his Sight; He views his Children with Delight; He sees their Hope, he knows their Fear; And looks and loves his Image there.

O Praise the Lord, For He Is Good

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: God His Faithfulness; God Goodness of; God Works of; Preservation of Christians Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, for he is good, his mercies still endure; thus say the ransomed of the Lord, from all their foes secure. 2 He gathered them from out the lands, from north, south, east and west. They strayed in desert's pathless way, No city found for rest. 3 Their weary soul within them faints when thirst and hunger press; in trouble then they cried to God, he saved them from distress. 4 He made the way before them straight, himself became their guide, that they might to a city go wherein they might abide. 5 O that men would Jehovah praise for all his kindness shown, and for his works so wonderful which he to men makes known! 6 Because the longing soul by him with food is satisfied, the hungry soul that looks to him with goodness is supplied.
