Our God, our Help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,260 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday in Lent Lyrics: 1 Our God, our Help in ages past, Our Hope for years to come, Our Shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal Home! 2 Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, For aye wilt be the same. 4 A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 6 Our God, our Help in ages past, Our Hope for years to come, Be Thou our Guard while troubles last, And our eternal Home!

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 853 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Advent; Third Sunday of Advent; Sixth Sunday in Lent Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes, with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall descend like showers Upon the fruitful earth, And love and joy, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth; Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend, His kingdom still increasing-- A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove: His Name shall stand forever; That Name to us is Love.

Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Justification; Third Sunday after Epiphany; Fifth Sunday in Lent; Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only source of all that’s good. Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor Comes to us through Jesus’ blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heav’n; Whispers this transporting sentence: "Son thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom? He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires: Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name,— He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. 5 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart; O take and seal it, Seal it from Thy courts above.
