Great God! we sing that mighty Hand

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Church Book #137 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Circumcision Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty Hand, By which supported still we stand: The opening year Thy mercy shows; Let mercy crown it, till it close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still we are guarded by our God; By His incessant bounty fed, By His unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Thy guardian care commit, And peaceful, leave before Thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or deprest, Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt our songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues; Our Helper God, in whom we trust, In better worlds our souls shall boast.

For Thy mercy and Thy grace

Author: Henry Downton Hymnal: Church Book #138 (1890) Topics: Circumcision Lyrics: 1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace, Faithful through another year, Hear our song of thankfulness; Father and Redeemer, hear. 2 In our weakness and distress, Rock of strength! be Thou our Stay; In the pathless wilderness Be our true and living Way. 3 Who of us death's awful road In the coming year shall tread? With Thy rod and staff, O God, Comfort Thou his dying head. 4 Keep us faithful; keep us pure: Keep us evermore Thine own: Help, O help us to endure: Fit us for the promised crown. 5 So within Thy palace gate We shall praise, on golden strings, Thee, the only Potentate, Lord of lords, and King of kings.

While with ceaseless course the sun

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Church Book #139 (1890) Topics: Circumcision Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here; Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know. 2 As the wingéd arrow flies Speedily, the mark to find; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream: Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view. Bless Thy word to young and old, Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLE MENSCHEN MÜSSEN STERBEN

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: J. Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #155 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Circumcision and Name of Jesus Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul And to the weary, rest. 3 Dear name! The Rock on which I build, My Shield and Hiding-place; My never-failing Treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. 4 By Thee my pray'rs acceptance gain Although with sin defiled. Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. 5 Jesus, my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. 6 Weak is the effort of my heart And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought. 7 Till then I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death!
