O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,258 hymnals Topics: God Guide Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its years away,
they fly, forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home!
Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE (Croft)

O Holy Spirit, enter in
Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.4.4.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Holy Ghost Guide and Light Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, enter in,
Among these hearts Thy work begin,
Thy temple deign to make us;
Sun of the soul, Thou Light divine,
Around and in us brightly shine,
To strength and gladness wake us.
Where Thou shinest, life from heaven
There is given:
We before Thee
For that precious gift implore Thee.
2 Left to ourselves we shall but stray;
O lead us on the narrow way,
With wisest counsel guide us;
And give us steadfastness, that we
May henceforth truly follow Thee,
Whatever woes betide us:
Heal Thou gently hearts now broken,
Give some token
Thou art near us,
Whom we trust to light and cheer us.
3 O mighty Rock! O Source of Life!
Let Thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife,
Be so within us burning,
That we be faithful unto death
In Thy pure love and holy faith,
From Thee true wisdom learning.
Lord, Thy graces on us shower!
By Thy power
Christ confessing,
Let us win His grace and blessing.
4 O gentle Dew, from heaven now fall
With power upon the hearts of all,
Thy tenderness instilling;
That heart to heart more closely bound,
Fruitful in kindly deeds be found,
The law of love fulfilling;
No wrath, no strife, then shall grieve Thee;
We receive Thee:
Where Thou livest
Peace and love and joy Thou givest.
5 Grant that our days, while life shall last,
In purest holiness be passed;
Our minds so rule and strengthen
That they may rise o'er things of earth,
The hopes and joys that here have birth;
And if our course Thou lengthen,
Keep Thou pure, Lord, from offences
Heart and senses;
Blessed Spirit,
Bid us thus true life inherit. Used With Tune: O MORNING STAR! HOW FAIR AND BRIGHT

Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Guide Lyrics: 1 Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;

To plead for all his saints,
Presenting at his Father's throne
Our songs and our complaints.

The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Now dwell at thy right hand.
4 But to thy house will I resort,
To taste thy mercies there;
I will frequent thy holy court,
And worship in thy fear.

In ways of righteousness;
Make every path of duty straight
And plain before my face.

In the strait and narrow way.

For the heav'nly dwelling-place;
All thy promises are sure,
Ever shall thy love endure;
Then what more could I desire,
How to greater bliss aspire?
All I need, in thee I see;
Thou art all in all to me.

Hast thou made me truly thine?
Hast thou bought me by thy blood?

Let me thine own image bear,
Let me love thee more and more
Till I reach heav'n's blissful shore.

And praise Thee for Thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more,
And humbly hope for more.

Thy sacrifice shall be;
And oh, may death, when death shall come,
Unite my soul to Thee!
Unite my soul to Thee!
