Paraphrase 22, verses 3-8

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Art thou afraid his power shall fail Lyrics: 1 Art thou afraid his power shall fail when comes thy evil day? And can an all-creating arm grow weary or decay? 2 Supreme in wisdom as in power the Rock of ages stands; though him thou canst not see, nor trace the working of his hands. 3 He gives the conquest to the weak, supports the fainting heart; and courage in the evil hour his heavenly aids impart. 4 Mere human power shall fast decay, and youthful vigour cease; but they who wait upon the Lord in strength shall still increase. 5 They with unwearied feet shall tread the path of life divine; with growing ardour onward move, with growing brightness shine. 6 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar, their wings are faith and love, till, past the cloudy regions here, they rise to heaven above.

A Perfect Path of Purest Grace

Author: Wylie Macleod Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. A perfect path of purest grace, Unblemished and complete, Was Thine, Thou spotless Nazarite, Pure, even to the feet. 2. Thy stainless life, Thy lovely walk, In every aspect true, From the defilement all around, No taint of evil drew. 3. No broken service, Lord was Thine, No change was in Thy way; Unsullied in Thy holiness, Thy strength knew no decay. 4. The vow was on Thee—Thou didst come, To yield Thyself to death; And consecration marked Thy path, And spoke in every breath. 5. Morning by morning Thou didst wake, Amidst this poisoned air; Yet no contagion touched Thy soul, No sin disturbed Thy prayer. 6. Thus, Lord we love to trace Thy course, To mark where Thou hast trod, And follow Thee with loving eye, Up to the throne of God. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

O for a Faith that will not shrink

Author: William Hiley Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 706 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a Faith that will not shrink, Though prest by many a foe; That will not tremble on the brink Of poverty or woe; 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod: But in the hour of grief or pain Can lean upon its God. 3 A Faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt: 4 That bears unmoved the world's dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That sin's wild ocean cannot drown, Nor Satan's arts beguile: 5 A Faith that keeps the narrow way Till life's last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a Faith as this, And then whate'er may come, We'll taste e'en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

This is the day the Lord hath made

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 599 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours His own. Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, And praise surround the throne. 2 To-day He rose and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell; Today the saints His triumph spread, And all His wonders tell. 3 Hosanna to th'anointed King, To David's holy Son; Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from Thy throne. 4 Blessed be the Lord, Who comes to men With messages of grace; Who comes in God His Father's Name To save our sinful race. 5 Hosanna in the highest strains The Church on earth can raise; The highest heavens, in which He reigns Shall give Him nobler praise. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons The Lord's Day Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
