God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven
Author: Reginald Heber; William Mercer; Richard Whately Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 474 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:14 Lyrics: 1. God, who made the earth and heaven,
darkness and light:
you the day for work have given,
for rest the night.
May your angel guards defend us,
slumber sweet your mercy send us,
holy dreams and hopes attend us
all through the night.
2. And when morn again shall call us
to run life's way,
may we still, whate'er befall us,
your will obey.
From the power of evil hide us,
in the narrow pathway guide us,
never be your smile denied us
all through the day.
3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
and, when we die,
maywe in your mighty keeping
all peaceful lie.
When the last dread call shall wake us,
then, O Lord, do not forsake us,
but to reign in glory take us
with you on high.
4 Holy Father, throned in heaven,
all holy Son,
Holy Spirit, freely given,
blest Three in One:
grant us grace, we now implore you,
till we lay our crowns before you,
and in worthier strains adore you
while ages run.

God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven
God is the refuge of his saints
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 462 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:25 Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade;
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold him present with his aid.
2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled
Down to the deep, and buried there;
Convulsions shake the solid world,
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar,
In sacred peace our souls abide,
While every nation, every shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
4 There is a stream whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God;
Life, love, and joy, still gliding through,
And watering our divine abode.
5 That sacred stream, thy holy word,
That all our raging fear controls:
Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls. Topics: The Christian Church The Sanctuary; The Church's Safety

There's a Great Day Coming
Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:9-11 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
the Christian while he sings:
it is the Lord who rises
with healing in his wings;
when comforts are declining,
he grants the soul again
a season of clear shining
to cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation
we sweetly then pursue
the theme of God's salvation,
and find it ever new:
set free from present sorrow,
we cheerfully can say,
'E'en let the unknown morrow
bring with it what it may':
3 It can bring with it nothing
but he will bear us through;
who gives the lilies clothing
will clothe his people too:
beneath the spreading heavens
no creature but is fed;
and he who feeds the ravens
will give his children bread.
4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither
their wonted fruit should bear,
though all the fields should wither,
nor flocks nor herds be there;
yet, God the same abiding,
his praise shall tune my voice;
for, while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice. Topics: Peace and Justice Used With Tune: OFFERTORIUM
Sometimes a light surprises
Awake, our souls; away, our fears
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 403 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:13-14 Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls; away, our fears;
let every trembling thought be gone;
awake and run the heavenly race,
and put a cheerful courage on.
2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
and mortal spirits tire and faint;
but they forget the mighty God
that feeds the strength of every saint:
3 The mighty God, whose matchless power
is ever new and ever young,
and firm endures, while endless years
their everlasting circles run.
4 From thee, the overflowing spring,
our souls shall drink a fresh supply,
while such as trust their native strength
shall melt away, and droop, and die.
5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
we'll mount aloft to thine abode;
on wings of love our souls shall fly,
nor tire amidst the heavenly road.

O That the Lord Would Guide My Ways
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 385 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:15 Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide my ways,
And keep me ever true!
O that my God would grant me grace
His will to know and do!
2 Direct my footsteps by Thy Word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wandering sheep.
4 Make me to walk in Thy commands;
'Tis a delightful road:
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God.

Pattern of Forgiveness
Author: John H. Gurney Appears in 243 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:1 First Line: Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee,
And pray to be forgiven,
So let thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear;
Like thee, to do our Father's will,
Our brother's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell
As free and true as thine.
4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly,
And grief's dark day come on,
We, in our turn, would meekly cry,
"Father, thy will be done!"
5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven,
Oh, may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow thee to heaven! Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Example of; Christ Humanity of; Christ Life on the Earth; Conformity; Cross of Christ Bearing Used With Tune: HELENA
