Star of peace! to wand'rers weary

Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 Star of peace! to wand'rers weary, Bright the beams that smile on me; Cheer the pilot's vision dreary, Far, far at sea. 2 Star of hope! gleam on the billow; Bless the soul that sighs for thee. Bless the sailor's lonely pillow, Far, far at sea. 3 Star of faith, when winds are mocking All his toil, he flies to thee; Save him, on the billows rocking, Far, far at sea. 4 Star divine! oh safely guide him,-- Bring the wanderer home to Thee! Sore temptations long have tried him, Far, far at sea.

How are Thy servants blest, O Lord!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 322 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 How are Thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defence! Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help Omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by Thy care, Through burning climes I pass unhurt, And breathed in tainted air. 3 Thy mercy sweetened every soil, Made every region please; The hoary Alpine hills it warmed, And smoothed the Tyrrhene seas. 4 Think, oh my soul, devoutly think, How with affrighted eye Thou sawest the wide-extended deep, In all its horrors rise! 5 Confusion dwelt in every face, And fear in every heart, When waves on waves, and gulfs in gulfs, O'ercame the pilot's art. 6 Yet then from all my griefs, O Lord, Thy mercy set me free, While, in the confidence of prayer, My heart took hold on Thee. 7 For though in dreadful whirls we hung, High on the broken wave, I knew Thou wert not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 8 The storm was laid, the winds retired, Obedient to Thy will; The sea, that roared at thy command, At Thy command was still. 9 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness I'll adore, And praise Thee for Thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more.

How canst thou want if He provide, Or lose thy way with such a guide? 3 When first before His mercy-seat Thou didst to Him thy all commit, He gave thee warrant from that hour, To trust His wisdom, love, and power. 4 Did ever trouble yet befall, And He refuse to hear thy call? And has He not His promise passed, That thou shalt overcome at last? 5 Though rough and thorny be the road, It leads thee home, apace, to God; Then count thy present trials small, For heaven will make amends for all.

I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, With faith's discerning eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
