Oh give thanks, for God is gracious

Author: David Mowbray, 1938- Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Metrical Psalms First Line: "Oh give thanks, for God is gracious!" Lyrics: 1 "Oh give thanks, for God is gracious!" now may Israel truly say; through great trials God has brought us to the dawn of this new day. All God's children, praise the wonders God has done. 2 When God's people walked the desert, hungry, thirsty, faint of heart, God prepared for them a city, gave them hope and took their part. All God's children, praise the wonders God has done. 3 Those who steer their ships through trouble, ride the storm and plumb the deep, reach at length their promised haven, bless that grace which brings them sleep. All God's children, praise the wonders God has done. 4 Oh give thanks for all God's mercies: fields are watered, crops are sown, sheep and cattle fill the pastures, babes in arms have safely grown. All God's children, praise the wonders God has done. Scripture: Psalm 107:1-9 Used With Tune: WYLDE GREEN

Unless the Lord constructs the house

Author: Mollie Knight Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Metrical Psalms Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord constructs the house, the builders work in vain; the Lord alone designs and builds foundations that remain. 2 Unless the Lord is keeping watch, the city cannot stand; the sentry guards the gates in vain without God's mighty hand. 3 In vain you labour night and day, by constant care oppressed; the Lord supplies your loved ones' needs and grants them sleep and rest. 4 The Lord designed the family, providing earthly love; our children are God's heritage - a gift from heaven above. 5 Like weapons in a warrior's hand are those who bear our name; with them we face a hostile world assured and free from shame.
