The Truth Of God

Author: Thomas H. Stockton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Can truth divine fulfillment fail? Lyrics: 1 Can truth divine fulfillment fail? Sooner shall star-crowned nature die! Truth is the very breath of God— Part of His own eternity! 2 Earth’s every pulse may cease to flow, And every voice be heard no more The forest crumble on the mount— The sea corrupt upon the shore; 3 The moon’s supply of light expire, The sun itself grow dense with gloom, And fairer systems, sphered afar, Dissolving, own the common doom. 4 But long as stands Jehovah’s throne, Long as His being shall endure So long the truth His lips proclaim Remains inviolably sure.

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.

'Tis Gone, That Bright And Orbed Blaze

Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals First Line: ’Tis gone, that bright and orbèd blaze Lyrics: 1 ’Tis gone, that bright and orbèd blaze, Fast fading from our wistful gaze; Yon mantling cloud has hid from sight The last faint pulse of quivering light. 2 In darkness and in weariness The traveler on his way must press, No gleam to watch on tree or tower, Whiling away the lonesome hour. 3 Sun of my soul! Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near: Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes! 4 When round Thy wondrous works below My searching rapturous glance I throw, Tracing out wisdom, power and love, In earth or sky, in stream or grove, 5 Or by the light Thy words disclose Watch time’s full river as it flows, Scanning Thy gracious providence, Where not too deep for mortal sense. 6 When with dear friends sweet talk I hold, And all the flowers of life unfold; Let not my heart within me burn, Except in all I Thee discern. 7 When soft the dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Savior’s breast. 8 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live: Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 9 Thou framer of the light and dark, Steer through the tempest Thine own ark: Amid the howling wintry sea We are in port if we have Thee. 10 The rulers of this Christian land, ’Twixt Thee and us ordained to stand— Guide Thou their course, O Lord, aright, Let all do all as in Thy sight. 11 Oh! by Thine own sad burthen, borne So meekly up the hill of scorn, Teach Thou Thy priests their daily cross To bear as Thine, nor count it loss! 12 If some poor wandering child of Thine Have spurned today the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 13 Watch by the sick: enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store: Be every mourner’s sleep tonight, Like infants’ slumbers, pure and light. 14 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves, in Heaven above.

When Youth Devote Their Early Days

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When youth devote their early days, To vain delights and sinful ways, Their prospects darken as they rise, And fill them with a dread surprise. 2 Diseases are the fruit of sin, The malady lies deep within; An evil course the mind impairs, And leaves them full of guilt and fears. 3 Sin strengthens with increasing days, And grows when nature’s self decays; Indulged, it makes their fetters strong, And leads the captive slaves along. 4 Beware, ye thoughtless, now beware, No more presume to persevere; Today with supplications come, Tomorrow death may call you home. 5 With earnestness for mercy cry And God will listen to your sigh; Now plead for pardon through His Son, And He’ll forgive what you have done.
