Psalm 90

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,244 hymnals First Line: O God, our help in ages past Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hopes for years to come; Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home! Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defence is sure. 2 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God To endless years the same. A thousand ages, in thy sight, Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun. 3 Time, like an ever-rolling stream Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home.

From the cross the radiance, streaming, Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there, that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story, Gathers round its head sublime.

Come, Wine of God! and as we drink, His precious blood wash out our sin!

Immanuel

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 69 hymnals First Line: Oh, sweetly breathe the lyres above Lyrics: 1 Oh, sweetly breathe the lyres above, When angels touch the quivering string, And wake, to chant Immanuel's love, Such strains as angel-lips can sing! 2 And sweet, on earth, the choral swell, From mortal tongues, of gladsome lays; When pardoned souls their raptures tell, And, grateful, hymn Immanuel's praise. 3 Jesus, thy name our souls adore; We owe the bond that makes us thine; And carnal joys that charmed before, For thy dear sake we now resign. 4 Our hearts, by dying love subdued, Accept thine offered grace to-day; Beneath the cross, with blood bedewed, We bow, and give ourselves away. 5 In thee we trust, on thee rely; Though we are feeble, thou art strong; Oh, keep us till our spirits fly To join the bright, immortal throng!

What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee.
