O God, our help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,288 hymnals Topics: Year C Epiphany 2; Year C Epiphany 4 Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home. 2 Beneath the shadow of thy throne, thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defence 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, will bear us all away; we fade and vanish, as a dream dies at the op'ning day. 6 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be thou our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home.

How beauteous were the marks divine

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: Sundays after Epiphany Lyrics: How beauteous were the marks divine That in thy meekness used to shine; That lit thy lonely pathway, trod In wondrous love, O Son of God! O who like thee, so calm, so bright, Thou Son of man, thou Light of Light; O who like thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe? O who like thee so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs of men before? So meek, forgiving, Godlike, high, So glorious in humility! And all thy life's unchanging years, A man of sorrows and of tears, The cross, where all our sins were laid, Upon thy bending shoulders weighed. And death, that sets the prisoner free, Was pang and scoff and scorn to thee; Yet love through all thy torture glowed, And mercy with thy life-blood flowed. O in thy light be mine to go, Illuming all this way of woe; And give me ever on the road To trace thy footsteps, Son of God! Amen. Used With Tune: BRESLAU

Let the people praise thee, Lord; Earth shall then her fruits afford; God to man his blessings give, Man to God devoted live; All below, and all above, One in joy, and light, and love.
