Traveler's Hymn
Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 322 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:2 First Line: How are thy servants blest, O Lord! Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord!
How sure is their defence!
Eternal wisdom is their guide,
Their help, omnipotence.
2 In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by thy care,
Through burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.
3 When by the dreadful tempest borne
High on the broken wave,
They know thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save.
4 The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will;
The sea, that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.
5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths,
Thy goodness we adore;
We praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.
6 Our life, whilst thou preservest life,
A sacrifice shall be;
And death, when death shall be our lot,
Shall join our souls to thee. Topics: God: The Father Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE
Traveler's Hymn
At Even, When the Sun Was Set
Author: Henry Twells Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 316 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1 Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set,
the sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we,
oppressed with various ills, draw near:
what if thy form we cannot see?
We know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Savior Christ, our woes dispel:
for some are sick, and some are sad,
and some have never loved thee well,
and some have lost the love they had.
4 O Savior Christ, thou too art man;
thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
thy kind but searching glance can scan
the very wounds that shame would hide.
5 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
no word from thee can fruitless fall;
hear in this solemn evening hour,
and in thy mercy heal us all.

His Way with Thee
Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 197 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1-6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise,
Thee the creations sing:
With thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas,
And heaven's high palace ring.
2 Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky,
How glorious to behold!
Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye,
And starred with sparkling gold.
3 There thou hast bid the globes of light
Their endless circuits run;
There the pale planet rules the night;
The day obeys the sun.
4 If down I turn my wandering eyes
On clouds and storms below,
Those under-regions of the skies,
Thy numerous glories show.
5 The noisy winds stand ready there
Thy orders to obey;
With sounding winds they sweep the air,
To make thy chariot way.
6 But the mild glories of thy grace,
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in Jesus' face
We see, adore, and love.

Now God Be with Us
Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 193 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Now, God, be with us, for the night is closing,
the light and darkness are of your disposing;
and 'neath his shadow here to rest we yield us,
for he will shield us.
2 Let holy thoughts be our when sleep o'ertakes us;
our earliest thoughts be yours when morning wakes us;
but your dear presence will not leave those lonely
who seek you only.
3 Father, your name be praised, your kingdom given,
your will be done on earth as 'tis in heaven;
keep us in life, forgive our sins,
deliver us now and ever. Topics: Morning and Evening; God--Presence of; Rest Used With Tune: INTEGER VITAE
Now God Be with Us
O Lord and Master of Us All
Author: J. G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord and Master of us all,
whate’er our name or sign,
we own thy sway, we hear thy call,
we test our lives by Thine.
2 Thou judgest us; thy purity
doth all our lusts condemn;
the love that draws us nearer thee
is hot with wrath to them.
3 Yet weak and blinded though we be,
thou dost our service own;
we bring our varying gifts to thee,
and thou rejectest none.
4 Apart from thee all gain is loss,
all labor vainly done;
the solemn shadow of the cross
is better than the sun.
5 We faintly hear, we dimly see,
in diff'ring phrase we pray;
but, dim or clear, we own in thee
the Life, the Truth, the Way.

Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 16 Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er,
They strike me with surprise;
Not all the sands that spread the shore
To equal numbers rise.
17 My flesh with fear and wonder stands,
The product of thy skill,
And hourly blessings from thy hands
Thy thoughts of love reveal.
18 These on my heart by night I keep;
How kind, how dear to me!
O may the hour that ends my sleep
Still find my thoughts with thee! Topics: The Mercies of God innumerable
Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er
Contentment
Author: William Cowper Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:2 First Line: O Lord, how full of sweet content Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content
Our years of pilgrimage are spent!
Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.
2 To us remains nor place nor time:
Our country is in every clime:
We can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
3 While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with our God to guide our way,
'Tis equal joy to go or stay.
4 Could we be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none remote we call,
Secure of finding God in all. Topics: Calmness; Christians Graces; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Contentment Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

The Duteous Day Now Closes
Author: Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676); Robert Seymour Bridges (1844-1930) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closes,
each flower and tree reposes,
shade creeps o'er wild and wood:
let us, as night is falling,
on God our maker calling,
give thanks and bless the Giver good.
2 Now all the heavenly splendour
breaks forth in starlight tender
from myriad worlds unknown;
and we, this marvel seeing,
forget our selfish being
for joy of beauty not our own.
3 Though long our mortal blindness
has missed God's loving kindness
and plunged us into strife;
yet when life's day is over,
shall death's fair night discover
the fields of everlasting life. Topics: Evening; Creation; O Gracious Light Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK
