In Thee, O Lord, I Put My Trust
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust;
Shamed let me never be;
O save me in Thy righteousness,
Give ear, and rescue me.
Be Thou my rock, my dwelling-place,
Forever mine, as now;
Salvation Thou hast willed for me,
My rock and fortress, Thou.
2 Deliver me from wicked hands,
Save me from men unjust,
For Thou, Jehovah, art my hope,
From youth Thou art my trust.
Thou hast upheld me in Thy grace
From childhood's early days;
To Thee from whom I life received
Will I give constant praise.
3 Though troubles great o’ershadow me,
Thou art my refuge strong;
My mouth shall praise Thee all the day,
Thy honor be my song.
Cast me not off when hoary age
Becomes my weary lot,
And in the days of failing strength
Do Thou forsake me not.
4 My foes are strong and confident,
For I to them appear
As one forsaken by his God,
With none to help me near.
My God, be Thou not far from me,
Make haste to hear my call;
Ashamed, consumed be all my foes,
Dishonored let them fall.
5 But I will ever hope in Thee,
My ceaseless praise is Thine;
I will declare Thy countless deeds
Of truth and grace divine.
Yea, I will tell the mighty acts
Performed by God the Lord;
Thy righteousness, and Thine alone,
With praise I will record.

The Tender Love a Father Has
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Life Stages Old Age Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
for all his children dear--
such love the Lord bestows on those
who worship him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
and all our frailty knows;
our life is like the tender grass,
and as the flower it grows.
3 The flower is withered by the wind
that smites with blighting breath;
so we are quickly swept away
before the blast of death.
4 Unchanging is the love of God,
from age to age the same,
displayed to all who do his will
and reverence his name.
5 Those who his gracious covenant keep
the Lord will ever bless;
their children's children shall rejoice
to see his righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: TALLIS ORDINAL Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
The Tender Love a Father Has
My gracious Lord, I own thy right
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own Thy right
To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear Thy counsels and obey.
2 What is my being but for Thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
'Tis my delight Thy face to see,
And service the cause of such a Friend.
3 I would not sigh for worldly joy,
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days nor powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
4 To Christ my Saviour I would live,
To Him who for my ransom died;
Nor could all worldly honour give
Such bliss as crowns me at His side.
5 His work my hoary age shall bless,
When youthful vigour is no more;
And my last hour of life confess
His dying love, His saving power. Used With Tune: LASUS
My gracious Lord, I own thy right
A Mourner's Entreaties
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Old Age First Line: My end, Lord, make me know Lyrics: 1 My end, Lord, make me know,
My days, how soon they fail;
And to my thoughtful spirit show
How weak I am and frail.
2 To Thy eternal thought
My days are but a span;
To Thee my years appear as nought,
A breath at best is man.
3 O Lord, regard my fears,
And answer my request;
turn not in silence from my tears,
But give the mourner rest.
4 I am a stranger here,
Dependent on Thy grace,
A pilgrim, as my fathers were,
With no abiding place.

deep and mighty, pure, sublime,
coming from the heart of Jesus--

He the pearly gates will open,
so that I may enter in;
for he purchased my redemption,
and forgave me all my sin.

as a wounded fawn was I,
brokenhearted, yet he healed me--
he will heed the sinner’s cry. (Refrain)
3 Love divine, so great and wondrous--
all my sins he then forgave;
I will sing his praise forever,
for his blood, his power to save. (Refrain)

at his door I’ll knock and wait;
by the precious love of Jesus,
I shall enter heaven’s gate. (Refrain)
