The Sacred Book

I love the sacred book of God, No other can its place supply; It points me to the saints' abode, And bids me from destruction fly. 2. Sweet book! in thee my eyes discern The image of my absent Lord; From thy instructive page I learn The joys his presence will afford. 3. But while I'm here, thou shalt supply His place, and tell me of his love; I'll read with faith's discerning eye, And thus partake of joys above.

In Heavenly Love Abiding

Author: Anna L. Waring Appears in 572 hymnals First Line: In heav'nly love abiding Lyrics: 1 In heav'nly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear; And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, My path to life is free, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me.

The Hand That Made Us

Author: Addison Appears in 790 hymnals First Line: The spacious firmament on high Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue, ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim: Th' unwearied sun, from day to day Does his Creator's pow'r display, And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly, to the list'ning earth Repeats the story of her birth; While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What tho' in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What tho' no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found! In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."
