It Is Good to Sing Your Praises

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #171 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 It is good to sing your praises and to thank you, O Most High, showing forth your loving-kindness when the morning lights the sky. It is good when night is falling of your faithfulness to tell, while with sweet, melodious praises songs of adoration swell. 2 You have filled my heart with gladness through the works your hands have wrought; you have made my life victorious; great your works and deep your thought. You, O LORD, on high exalted, reign forevermore in might; all your enemies shall perish, sin be banished from your sight. 3 But the good shall live before you, planted in your dwelling place, fruitful trees and ever verdant, nourished by your boundless grace. In his goodness to the righteous God his righteousness displays; God, my rock, my strength and refuge, just and true are all your ways. Scripture: Psalm 92 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE

Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling-Place

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #183 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or even Thou hadst formed the earth, From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2 At Thy command man fades and dies And newborn generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watches of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before this swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun, And withered ere the day is done. 4 Man in Thy anger is consumed, And unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5 For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life's day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and reverent though Can fear Thy anger as he ought? 6 O teach Thou us to count our days And set our hearts on wisdom's ways; Turn, Lord, to us in our distress, In pity now Thy servants bless; Let mercy's dawn dispel our night, And all our day with joy be bright. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #513 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Life Brevity of Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow thee; destitute, despised, forsaken, thou from hence my all shalt be. Perish ev'ry fond ambition, all I've sought or hoped or known; yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior too; human hearts and looks deceive me; thou art not, like man, untrue; and, while thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, foes may hate and friends may shun me; show thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'twill but drive me to thy breast; life with trials hard may press me, heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me while thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with thee. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, rise o'er sin and fear and care; joy to find in ev'ry station something still to do or bear; think what Spirit dwells within thee, what a Father's smile is thine, what a Savior died to win thee: child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine? 5 Hasten on from grace to glory, armed by faith and winged by prayer; heav'n's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

The Tender Love a Father Has

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #583 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has for all his children dear such love the Lord bestows on those who worship him in fear. 2 The Lord remembers we are dust, and all our frailty knows; our life is like the tender grass, and as the flower it grows. 3 The flower is withered by the wind that smites with blighting breath; so we are quickly swept away before the blast of death. 4 Unchanging is the love of God, from age to age the same, displayed to all who do his will and reverence his name. 5 Those who his gracious covenant keep the Lord will ever bless; their children's children shall rejoice to see his righteousness.
