The year is swiftly waning

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #34 (1883) Topics: The Seasons Autumn Lyrics: 1 The year is swiftly waning, The summer days are past; And life, brief life, is speeding: The end is nearing fast. 2 The ever-changing seasons In silence come and go; But Thou, Eternal Father, No time or change canst know. 3 Oh! pour Thy grace upon us That we may worthier be, Each year that passes o'er us, To dwell in Heaven with Thee. 4 Behold, the bending orchards With bounteous fruit are crowned; Lord, in our hearts more richly Let heavenly fruits abound. 5 Oh! by each mercy sent us, And by each grief and pain, By blessings like the sunshine, And sorrows like the rain, 6 Our barren hearts make fruitful With every goodly grace, That we Thy Name may hallow, And see at last Thy Face. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AUTUMNIA

A Faithful Creator

Hymnal: The Psalter #286 (1912) Topics: The Seasons First Line: He waters the hills with rains from the skies Lyrics: 1 He waters the hills with rain from the skies, And plentiful grass and herbs He supplies, Supplying the cattle, and blessing man's toil With bread in abundance with wine and with oil. 2 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed, And over the earth their branches are spread; They keep in their shelter the birds of the air, The life of each creature the Lord makes His care. 3 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine, The slow changing moon shows fort God's design; The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys, And running his journey hastes not nor delays. 4 The lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair, The lions creep forth, God's bounty to share; The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away And men are beginning the work of the day. 5 How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord! The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored; The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro, And creatures unnumbered it shelters below. 6 Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food; Thy hand opens wide, they gather the good; Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn; Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they return.
