Cantad al Señor
How are thy servants bless;d, O Lord!
Appears in 325 hymnals Topics: Creation, Preservation, and temporal Blessings God the Guide of his Servants Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants bless'd, 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 they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.
3 When by the dreadful tempest borne,
High on the broken wave,
They know thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save.
4 The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will;
The sea that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.
5 In midst of dangers, fears, and death,
Thy goodness we'll adore,
We praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more
How are thy servants bless;d, O Lord!
The Wickedness of Man, and the Majesty of God; or Practical Atheism exposed
Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence; Creation and Providence First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics: 1 When man grows bold in sin,
My heart within me cries,
"He hath no faith of God within,
"Nor fear before his eyes.
2 [He walks awhile conceal'd
In a self-flattering dream,
Till his dark crimes, at once reveal'd,
Expose his hateful name.]
3 His heart is false and foul,
His words are smooth and fair;
Wisdom is banish'd from his soul,
And leaves no goodness there.
4 He plots upon his bed
New mischiefs to fulfil;
He sets his heart, and hand, and head
To practise all that's ill.
5 But there's a dreadful God,
Tho' men renounce his fear;
His justice, hid behind the cloud,
Shall one great day appear.
6 His truth transcends the sky,
In heaven his mercies dwell;
Deep as the sea his judgements lie,
His anger burns to hell.
7 How excellent his love,
Whence all our safety springs!
Oh never let my soul remove
From underneath his wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7
The Wickedness of Man, and the Majesty of God; or Practical Atheism exposed
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Appears in 1,754 hymnals Topics: Creation By God Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me!
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away,
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless,
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies,
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee,
In life and death, O Lord, abide with me! Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
Divine Knowledge from Creation
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Creation Proves the being and perfections of God; Creation Proves the being and perfections of God First Line: The book of nature open lies Lyrics: 1 The book of nature open lies,
With much instruction stor'd;
But till the LORD anoints our eyes,
We cannot read a word.
2 The knowledge of the saints excels
The wisdom of the schools;
To them his secrets God reveals,
Tho' men account them fools.
3 To them the sun and stars on high,
The flow'rs that paint the field,
And all the artless birds that fly,
Divine instruction yield.
4 The creatures on their senses press,
As witnesses to prove
Their Saviour's pow'r and faithfulness,
His providence and love.
5 Thus may we study nature's book,
To make us wise indeed!
And pity those who only look
At what they cannot read.

Himlene, Herre! fortælle din Ære
Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Creation Lyrics: 1 Himlene, Herre! fortælle din Ære,
Mesteren prise det hvælvede Blaa,
Solen og Maanen og Stjernernes Hære
Vise os, hvad dine Hænder formaa;
Men i dit Hus, i din Kirke paa Jorden,
Der tale Dage med Dage om dig,
Der sig forklare din Sol og din Torden,
Der paa Oplysning selv Natten er rig.
2 Ei er i Sandhed der Ord eller Tanke,
Som i dit Hus ei fik Mæle og Røst,
Og alt saa vide, som Stjernerne vanke,
Bringe paa Jord de Oplysning og Trøst,
Ordet med Solen i skiftende Tider
Udgaar som Brudgom i morgenrød Glans,
Straalende frem ad sin Bane det skrider,
Krones som Helten med aftenrød Krans!
3 Saa paa sin Bane din Sol i det Høie,
Lyset i Sandhed, omreiser vor Jord,
Intet i Verden er skjult for dens Øie,
Aldrig udslettes dens straalende Spor;
Reen som et Guld er den Lov, du har givet,
Omvender Sjæle, som agte derpaa,
Trofast dit Vidnesbyrd fører til Livet,
Vismænd det gjør af vonkundige Smaa. Scripture: Psalm 19
Himlene, Herre! fortælle din Ære
