Family prayer

Appears in 102 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:19 First Line: Father of all, thy care we bless Lyrics: 1 Father of all, thy care we bless, Which crowns our families with peace, From thee they spring, and, by thy hand There were and still shall be sustain'd. 2 To God, most worthy to be prais'd, Be our domestic altars rais'd; Who, Lord of heav'n, scorns not to dwell With saints in their obscurest cell. 3 To thee may each united house, Morning and night, present its vows; Our servants there, and rising race, Be taught thy precepts, and thy grace. 4 O may each future age proclaim The honors of thy glorious name; While pleas'd and thankful, we remove To join the family above.

Eternal Power, whose high abode

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 227 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:27 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God: In vain the loftiest angel tries To reach thy height with wondering eyes. 2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings, He hides his face beneath his wings; Seraphs that most with ardor glow, Still at an humble distance bow. 3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp thy name; But oh, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 4 God is in heaven and man below; Soft be our strains, our words be few; A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits trembling on our tongues.

A hymn for a fast day

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:23-33 First Line: When Abraham, full of sacred awe Lyrics: 1 When Abram, full of sacred awe, Before Jehovah stood, And, with an humble fervent prayer, For guilty Sodom sued; 2 With what success, what wondrous grace, Was his petitions crown'd! The Lord would spare, if in the place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single, holy soul So rich a boon obtain? Good God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain? 4 Britain, all guilty as she is, Her numerous saints can boast, And now their fervent prayers ascend, And can those prayers be lost? 5 Are not the righteous dear to thee, Now as in ancient times? Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in its crimes? 6 Still are we thine, we bear thy name, Here yet is thine abode; Long has thy presence bless'd our land, Forsake us not, O God.
