God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength (Psalm 46)
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: God is our refuge and our strength Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever-present aid,
and therefore, though the earth be moved,
we will not be afraid;
2 Though hills amid the seas be cast,
though foaming waters roar,
yea, though the mighty billows shake
the mountains on the shore.
3 Where God abides a river flows;
that city will rejoice.
But nations fear and kingdoms shake
before God's thundering voice.
4 Since God is in the midst of it,
the city walls shall stand,
secure and safe with God's sure help,
when trouble is at hand.

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength (Psalm 46)
O Holy Ghost, thy people bless
Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost, thy people bless
who long to feel thy might,
and fain would grow in holiness
as children of the light
2 To thee we bring, who art the Lord,
our selves to be thy throne;
let every thought, and deed, and word
thy pure dominion own.
3 Life-giving Spirit, o’er us move,
as on the formless deep;
give life and order, light and love,
where now is death or sleep.
4 Great gift of our ascended King,
his saving truth reveal;
our tongues inspire his praise to sing,
our hearts his love to feel.
5 True Wind of Heaven, from south or north,
for joy or chastening, blow;
the garden-spices shall spring forth
if thou wilt bid them flow.
6 O Holy Ghost, of sevenfold might,
all graces come from thee;
grant us to know and serve aright
one God in Persons Three.

My God, I Love Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 212 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, I love thee, not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
nor yet because, if I love not,
I must forever die.
2. Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me
upon the cross embrace;
for me didst bear the nails and spear
and manifold disgrace.
3. Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ,
should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
nor of escaping hell.
4. Not with the hope of gaining aught,
not seeking a reward,
but as thyself hast loved me,
O everlasting Lord.
5. So would I love thee, dearest Lord,
and in thy praise will sing;
because thou art my loving God
and my eternal King.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Teach me, O LORD, the perfect way
of Thy precepts divine,
and to observe it to the end
I shall my heart incline.
2 Give understanding unto me,
that I Thy law obey;
with my whole heart shall I observe
Thy statutes night and day.
3 In Thy law’s path make me to go;
delight therein I find.
Unto Thy truth, and not to greed,
let my heart be inclined.
4 Turn Thou away my sight and eyes
from viewing vanity;
and in Thy good and holy way
be pleased to quicken me.
5 Confirm to me Thy gracious Word,
which I did gladly hear,
to me Thy servant, LORD, who am
devoted to Thy fear.
6 Turn Thou away my feared reproach;
for good Thy judgments be.
Lo, for Thy precepts I have longed;
in Thy truth quicken me. Topics: Submission and Profession Scripture: Psalm 119:33-37 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1880, alt.

While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks
in Bethleh'm's plains by night,
an angel sent from heav'n appear'd,
and fill'd the plains with light.
2 Fear not, he said, (for sudden dread
had seiz'd their troubled mind.)
glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you, and all mankind.
3 To you, in David's town, this day,
is born, of David's line,
the Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 the heav'nly Babe you there shall find
to human view display'd,
all meanly wrapped in swathing-bands,
and in a manger laid.
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels, praising God, and thus
address'd their joyful song:
6 All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
good-will is shown by Heav'n to men,
and never more shall cease. Scripture: Luke 2:8-15 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD
