How Gracious Are Thy Mercies, Lord

Author: Sybil Leonard Armes Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How gracious are Thy mercies, Lord, They hallow all my days; Thy gifts of tenderness and love Inspire my heart to praise. The growing miracle of faith Assures me I am Thine. Oh, praise thy name that I can share This fellowship divine! 2 How lovely are Thy mercies, Lord, The earth, the sky and sea, For all things good and beautiful I offer praise to Thee. For clouds by day and stars by night, For blossoms frail and fair, For all thy glorious handiwork My heart is moved to prayer. 3 How tender are Thy mercies, Lord, Thy grace when days are long, And in the lonely midnight hour Thy precious gift of song. When I approach the gates of death And life is at an end, Thy presence will sustain me still, My Saviour and my Friend. Amen. Topics: Adoration Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

A Prayer In Time Of War

Author: Alfred Noyes Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Thou whose deep ways are in the sea Lyrics: 1 Thou whose deep ways are in the sea, Whose footsteps are not known, Tonight a world that turned from Thee Is waiting—at Thy throne. The towering Babels that we raised Where scoffing sophists brawl, The little Antichrists we praised— The night is on them all. 2 The fool hath said…the fool hath said… And we, who deemed him wise, We, who believed that Thou wast dead, How should we seek Thine eyes? How should we seek to Thee for power, Who scorned Thee yesterday? How should we kneel in this dread hour? Lord, teach us how to pray. 3 Grant us the single heart once more That mocks no sacred thing, The sword of truth our fathers wore When Thou wast Lord and King. Let darkness unto darkness tell Our deep unspoken prayer; For, while our souls in darkness dwell We know that Thou art there.

He lives in us, the Christ of God

Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He lives in us, the Christ of God, his Spirit joins with ours; he brings to us the Father's grace with powers beyond our powers. And if enticing sin grows strong, when human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights with us, and prevails. 3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems — by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons; who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleas with God for us in words we could not say. 3 God gave his Son to save us all — no other love like this! then shall he ever turn away from those he marks as his? And God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; son none can tear us from his love in Jesus Christ our Lord.
