I Love the Volumes of Thy Word

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 175 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I love the volumes of Thy Word; What light and joy those leaves afford To souls benighted and distressed! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way, Thy fear forbids my feet to stray, Thy promise leads my heart to rest. 2. From the discoveries of Thy law The perfect rules of life I draw; These are my study and delight: Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold that hath the furnace past Appears so pleasing to the sight. 3. Thy threat’nings wake my slumb’ring eyes, And warn me where my danger lies; But ’tis Thy blessèd Gospel, Lord, That makes my guilty conscience clean, Converts my soul, subdues my sin, And gives a free, but large reward. 4. Who knows the errors of his thoughts? My God, forgive my secret faults, And from presumptuous sins restrain: Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read Thy book of grace, And book of nature, not in vain. Used With Tune: OLD 113TH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

The Lord My Pasture Shall Prepare

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 552 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The Lord my pasture shall prepare And feed me with a shepherd’s care; His presence shall my wants supply And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks He shall attend And all my midnight hours defend. 2. When in the sultry glebe I faint Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3. Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid And guide me through the dreadful shade. 4. Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds, I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden greens and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around.

Thy glory, Lord, the heavens declare

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: Thy glory, Lord, the heavens declare, The firmament displays Thy skill; The changing clouds, the viewless air, Tempest and calm Thy word fulfil; Day unto day doth utter speech, And night to night Thy knowledge teach. Though voice nor sound inform the ear, Well-known the language of their song, When one by one the stars appear, Led by the silent moon along, Till round the earth, from all the sky, Thy beauty beams on every eye. Waked by Thy touch, the shining sun Comes like a bridegroom from his bower, And, like a giant, glad to run His bright career with speed and power-- Thy flaming messenger, to dart Life through the depth of Nature's heart. While these transporting visions shine Along the path of Providence, Glory eternal, joy divine, Thy word reveals, transcending sense; My soul Thy goodness longs to see, Thy love to man, Thy love to me. Scripture: Psalm 19

O Thou Who madest land and sea

Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who madest land and sea, And guidest all, in all their ways, Who hearest those who bring to Thee Their sacrifice of prayer and praise; Oh, hear Thy children as they bring Themselves a lowly offering! 2 Great God, Who with a Father's love Dost watch o'er all created things, And gatherest all, below, above, Beneath the shadow of Thy wings; Protect, we pray Thee, now, and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 3 Thou hearest still the eagle's cry, And notest e'en a sparrow's fall, Thy listening ear doth heed on high, And hearken to the raven's call; Then, heavenly Father, hear and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 4 Come, heavenly Father, come to-day, For we Thy children come to Thee, And Thou wilt never say us, nay, If come we in humility; New-born in Thee, O Father, bless Thy children who are fatherless. 5 Cast forth upon the barren strand Of this lone world, to Thee we fly; In faith and hope, we fain would stand Beneath Thy sheltering arm for aye; Stretch forth Thy hand ad pitying bless Thy children who are fatherless. 6 And may we all with joyful mind Our hearts as living offerings bring, The first-fruits of our life, to find A Father in our heavenly King; And learn in life and death to bless Thee, "Father of the fatherless." Amen. Topics: Orphans; Almsgiving and Charities; Orphans; Processionals Missions Used With Tune: MELITA

Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O dear Redeemer crucified, Thou faithful Shepherd who hast died To save from death Thy helpless sheep, We pray Thee, risen Saviour, keep In Thy secure protection still The sheep who hearken to Thy will. 2 All we like sheep had gone astray From Thy blest fold and lost our way, Left pleasant pastures, verdant lands, For barren wastes and desert sands; But O, Thy shepherd-love so deep Sought till it found Thy erring sheep. 3 O Shepherd Saviour, we rejoice To be Thine own, to hear Thy voice. Bought with a price, we now are Thine, And known of Thee, O Love divine! By grace unto Thy fold restored, Let us not stray again, dear Lord. 4 Dear Lord, our eyes of faith behold In truth one Shepherd and one fold, Kept through the Spirit's bond of peace In unity which ne'er shall cease. As Thou hast promised, we shall be Thine own in all eternity. Amen.

I sought the Lord at early morn

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: I I sought the Lord at early morn, When earth awoke to see the light; And to my soul a light was borne That quelled the darkness of my night; He heard my prayer at early morn, And light into my heart was borne. II I sought the Lord when noontide shone, And head and hand earth’s duties shared; “I am Thy servant, Lord, alone,” I said, and told Him how I fared; He heard my prayer as I drew near, And kept me at my task, sincere. III I sought the Lord when evening fell, And night came gliding on apace; For I had sins my Lord to tell, And He is full of pardoning grace; He heard my prayer, and bade me rest, And in His love my soul was blest. IV At morn, at noon, at night I’ll pray, And Thou, O Lord, my prayer wilt hear, For Thou art near my path alway, To aid, to comfort, or to cheer; No hour too early, none too late, To knock imploring at Thy gate. V O Jesus Christ, to Thee be praise, ’Tis Thou hast taught my soul to pray, For Thou didst speak with God always, At morn, at noon, at close of day; And Thou hast said He hears the prayer, The longing soul breathes everywhere.

Before thy throne, O God, we kneel

Author: William Boyd Carpenter, 1841-1918 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before thy throne, O God, we kneel: give us a conscience quick to feel, a ready mind to understand the meaning of thy chastening hand; whate'er the pain and shame may be, bring us, O Father, nearer thee. 2 Search out our hearts and make us true; help us to give to all their due. From love of pleasure, lust of gold, from sins which make the heart grow cold, wean us and train us with thy rod; teach us to know our faults, O God. 3 For sins of heedless word and deed, for pride ambitious to succeed, for crafty trade and subtle snare to catch the simple unaware, for lives bereft of purpose high, forgive, forgive, O Lord, we cry. 4 Let the fierce fires which burn and try, our inmost spirits purify: consume the ill; purge out the shame; O God, be with us in the flame; a newborn people may we rise, more pure, more true, more nobly wise.
