The Lord our God builds up His Church, He seeks her wandering sons; He binds their wounds and gently leads The brokenhearted ones. 2 Our Lord is great, He calls by name And counts the stars of night; His wisdom is unsearchable, And wondrous is His might. The Lord upholds the poor and meek, He brings the wicked low; Sing praise to Him and give Him thanks And all His goodness show. 3 No human might, no earthly pride Delights the Lord above; In those who fear Him He delights, In those that trust His love. O Zion, praise the Lord thy God, His wondrous love confess; He is thy glory and thy strength, He will thy children bless. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: MINERVA

I hate to walk, I hate to sit, With men of vanity and lies The scoffer and the hypocrite Are the abhorrence of mine eyes. Amongst thy saints will I appear With frauds well washed in innocence; But when I stand before thy bar, The blood of Christ is my defence. I love thy habitation, Lord, The temple where thine honors dwell; There shall I hear thine holy word, And there thy works of wonder tell. Let not my soul be joined at last With men of treachery and blood, Since I my days on earth have passed Among the saints, and near my God. Scripture: Psalm 26

Life is the Time to serve the Lord

Appears in 352 hymnals Topics: Day of Grace and Time of Duty Lyrics: 1 Life is the Time to serve the Lord, The Time t' insure the great Reward; And while the Lamp holds out to burn, The vilest Sinner may return. [2 Life is the Hour that God has giv'n To 'scape from Hell, and fly to Heav'n; The Day of Grace, and Mortals may Secure the Blessings of the Day.] 3 The Living know that they must die, But all the Dead forgotten lie; Their Mem'ry and their Sense is gone, Alike unknowing and unknown. [4 Their Hatred and their Love is lost, Their Envy buried in the Dust; They have no Share in all that's done Beneath the Circuit of the Sun.] 5 Then what my Thoughts design to do, My Hands with all your Might pursue, Since no Device, nor Work is found, Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground. 6 There are no Acts of Pardon past In the cold Grave, to which we haste; But Darkness, Death, and long Despair, Reign in eternal Silence there. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

And am I only born to die?

Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die? And must I suddenly comply With nature’s stern decree? What after death for me remains? Celestial joys, or hellish pains, To all eternity. 2 How then ought I on earth to live, While God prolongs the kind reprieve, And props the house of clay; My sole concern, my single care, To watch, and tremble, and prepare Against the fatal day! 3 No room for mirth or trifling here, For worldly hope, or worldly fear, If life so soon is gone; If now the judge is at the door, And all mankind must stand before The inexorable throne! 4 Nothing is worth a thought beneath, But how I may escape the death That never, never dies! How make mine own election sure; And when I fail on earth, secure A mansion in the skies. 5 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray, Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way To glorious happiness. Ah! write the pardon on my heart; And whensoe’er I hence depart, Let me depart in peace.
