All Who with Heart Confiding

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Church on Earth; Dependence upon God or Christ; Falsehood; Jerusalem; Protection; Punishment Of The Wicked; Rewards of Righteousness; Security First Line: All who, with heart confiding Lyrics: 1 All who, with heart confiding, Depend on God alone, Like Zion's mount abiding, Shall ne'er be overthrown. Like Zion's city bounded By guarding mountains broad, His people are surrounded Forever by their God. 2 No scepter of oppression Shall hold unbroken sway, Lest unto base transgression The righteous turn away. Thy favor be imparted To godly men, O Lord; Bless all that are pure-hearted, The good with good reward. 3 The men who falsehood cherish, Forsaking truth and right, With wicked ones shall perish; God will their sin requite. From sin Thy saints defending, Their joy, O Lord, increase, With mercy never ending And everlasting peace. Scripture: Psalm 125 Used With Tune: KNOWHEAD

God of our lives! thy constant care

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Dependence on God Lyrics: 1 God of our lives! thy constant care With blessings crowns each op'ning year: These lives, so frail, dost thou prolong, And wake anew our annual song. 2 How many precious souls are fled To the dark regions of the dead, Since, from this day, the changing sun Through his last yearly course has run! 3 We yet survive: but who can say, Or through the year, or month, or day, I shall retain my vital breath, Thus far at least in league with death 4 That breath is thine, eternal God! 'Tis thine to fix the soul's abode: We hold our lives from thee alone, On earth, or in the world unknown. 5 To thee we all our pow'rs resign; Make us and own us still as thine: Then shall we smile, secure from fear, Though death should blast the rising year. 6 Thy children, eager to be gone, Bid time's impetuous tide roll on, And land them on that blooming shore Where years and death are known no more.

If you should mark our sins, who then could stand? But grace and mercy dwell at your right hand. 2 I wait for God, I trust his holy word; he hears my sighs. My soul still waits and looks unto the Lord; my prayers arise. I look for him to drive away my night– yes, more than those who watch for morning light. 3 Hope in the Lord: unfailing is his love; in him confide. Mercy and full redemption from above he does provide. From sin and evil, mighty though they seem, his arm almighty will his saints redeem. Used With Tune: SANDON Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
