Lord, Thy word abideth

Author: Sir H. W. Baker Appears in 207 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thy word abideth, And our footsteps guideth; Who its truth believeth Light and joy receiveth. 2 When our foes are near us, Then Thy word doth cheer us, Word of consolation, Message of salvation. 3 When the storms are o’er us, And dark clouds before us, Then its light directeth, And our way protecteth. 4 Who can tell the pleasure, Who recount the treasure, By Thy word imparted To the simple-hearted? 5 Word of mercy, giving Succor to the living; Word of life, supplying Comfort to the dying! 6 O that we, discerning Its most holy learning, Lord, may love and fear Thee, Evermore be near Thee!

Star of Ocean Fairest

Author: Thomas I. Ball, 1838-1916 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Star of ocean fairest, Mother, God who barest, Virgin thou immortal, Heaven’s blissful portal. 2 Ave thou receivest, Gabriel’s word believest; Change to peace and gladness Eva’s name of sadness. 3 Loose the bonds of terror, Lighten blinded error; All our ills repressing, Pray for every blessing. 4 Mother’s care displaying, Offer Him thy praying, Who when born our brother, Chose thee for His mother. 5 Virgin, all excelling, Gentle past our telling; Pardoned sinners render Gentle, chaste and tender. 6 In pure paths direct us; On our way protect us; Till, on Jesus gazing, We shall join thy praising. 7 Father, Son eternal, Holy Ghost supernal, With one praise we bless Thee, Three in One confess Thee.
