Eternal Father, Who Can Tell?

Author: Robert Dawson, 1836-1906 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Eternal Father! who can tell Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! who can tell The years of Thy right hand? Like sunbeams bright, but numberless, Or as the ocean’s sand. 2 Thine ageless age no limit knows, No dawn began Thy day, Nor evening shade shall ever fall Upon Thy glorious way. 3 All time is but a fleeting wave Upon Thy calm, deep sea, A fading leaf that feebly falls From life’s eternal tree. 4 Yet unto Thee, our fleeting years, Our fading days, are known, And every hour its message bears Up to th’eternal throne. 5 Old year, farewell! Thou’rt gone to God, Gone to record our life, Its poor success, its wasted hours, Its oft unworthy strife. 6 New year, all hail! Thou’rt come from God, Blest be thy dawning bright! Blest be thy swiftly fleeting hours! And blest thy evening light! 7 Into the hand of Him who died, Who evermore doth live, This strange and solemn New Year’s path In trustful prayer we give. 8 Enough for us to hear His voice, To feel His guiding hand, To know each step is bringing us Nearer the Better Land.

Lord, I will thee extol, for thou

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, I will thee extol, for thou hast lifted me on high, and over me thou to rejoice madest not mine enemy. 2 O thou who art the Lord my God, I in distress to thee with loud cries lifted up my voice, and thou hast healed me. 3 O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up and rescued from the grave; that I to death should not go down, alive thou didst me save. 4 O ye that are his holy ones, sing praise unto the Lord; and unto him give thanks, when ye his holiness record. 5 For but a moment lasts his wrath; life in his favour lies: weeping may for a night endure, at morn doth joy arise. 6 In my prosperity I said, that nothing shall me move: 7 O Lord, thou hast my mountain made to stand strong by thy love. Thou didst thy face hide; then was I sore troubled and dismayed: 8 I cried to thee, O Lord, to thee I supplication made: 9 what profit is there in my blood, when I to death go down? Shall dust give praises unto thee? Shall it thy truth make known? 10 Hear, Lord, have mercy; help me, Lord; 11 thou didst from sackcloth free; my grief to dancing thou hast turned, with gladness girded me; 12 That sing thy praise my glory may, and never silent be. O Lord my God, for evermore I will give thanks to thee. Scripture: Psalm 30 Used With Tune: ST FULBERT

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,076 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve, and press with vigor on; a heav'nly race demands thy zeal, and an immortal crown. 2 A cloud of witnesses around hold thee in full survey; forget the steps already trod and onward urge your way. 3 'Tis God's all-animating voice that calls thee from on high; 'tis his own hand presents the prize to thine aspiring eye; 4 that prize, with peerless glories bright which shall new lustre boast, when victors' wreaths and monarch's gems shall blend in common dust. 5 Blest Saviour, introduced by thee have I my race begun, and crowned with vict'ry, at thy feet I'll lay my honors down.

Trust--Psalm 34

Author: Tate ; Brady Appears in 486 hymnals First Line: Through all the changing scenes of life Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble, and in joy, The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ. 2 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, With me exalt his name? When in distress to him I called, He to my rescue came. 3 The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliverance he affords to all, Who on his succor trust. 4 Oh, make but trial of his love; Experience will decide, How blest are they, and only they, Who in his truth confide.
