Bless, O My Soul, the Living God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 301 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bless, O my soul, the living God, Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad, Let all the pow'rs within me join In work and worship so divine, In work and worship so divine. 2. Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favours claim thy highest praise: Why should the wonders He hath wrought Be lost in silence and forgot, Be lost in silence and forgot? 3. ’Tis he, my soul, that sent His Son To die for crimes which thou hast done; He owns the ransom and forgives The hourly follies of our lives, The hourly follies of our lives. 4. The vices of the mind He heals, And cures the pains that nature feels; Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threat’ning graves, Our wasting life from threat’ning graves. 5. Our youth decayed, His power repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years: He satisfies our mouth with good, And fills our hopes with heav’nly food, And fills our hopes with heav’nly food. 6. He sees th’oppressor and th’oppresst, And often gives the suff’rers rest; But will His justice more display In the last great rewarding day, In the last great rewarding day. 7. His pow'r he showed by Moses’ hands, And gave to Israel his commands; But sent His truth and mercy down To all the nations by his Son, To all the nations by his Son. 8. Let the whole earth His power confess, Let the whole earth adore His grace; The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine, In work and worship so divine.

In Thee, Lord, Have I Put My Trust

Author: Adam Reissner; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust, Leave me not helpless in the dust, Let not my hope be brought to shame, But still sustain, through want and pain, My faith that Thou art aye the same. 2. Incline a gracious ear to me, And hear the prayers I raise to Thee, Show forth Thy power and haste to save! For woes and fear surround me here, Oh swiftly send the help I crave! 3. My God and Shield, now let Thy power Be unto me a mighty tower, Whence I may freely, bravely fight Against the foes that round me close For fierce are they and great their might. 4. Thy Word hath said, Thou art my Rock, The Stronghold that can fear no shock, My help, my safety, and my life, Howe’er distress and dangers press; What then shall daunt me in the strife? 5. The world for me hath falsely set Full many a secret snare and net, Dark lies, delusions sweet and vain; Lord, hear my prayers, and break these snares, And make my path before me plain. 6. With Thee, Lord, would I cast my lot; My God, my God, forsake me not, O faithful God, for I commend My soul to Thee; deliver me Both now, and when this life must end.

I sing of mercies that endure, of faithfulness forever sure. 2 Almighty God, your lofty throne has justice for its cornerstone; and shining bright before your face are truth and love and boundless grace. The heavens shall join in glad accord to praise your wondrous work and word. 3 The swelling sea obeys your will; its angry waves your voice can still. And yours, by right, the heavens and earth, the world in life, in death, in birth. The whole creation’s wondrous frame proclaims its Maker’s glorious name. 4 With blessing is the nation crowned whose people know the joyful sound; they in the light, O God, shall live, the light your face and favour give. All glory unto God we yield, who is our constant help and shield. Scripture: Psalm 89 Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912, alt.
