Far from these scenes of night
My Savior and My King
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My Savior and my king,
Thy beauties are divine;
Thy lips with blessings overflow,
And every grace is Thine.
2. Now make Thy glory known,
Gird on Thy dreadful sword,
And ride in majesty to spread
The conquests of Thy Word.
3. Strike through Thy stubborn foes,
Or melt their hearts to obey,
While justice, meekness, grace and truth,
Attend Thy glorious way.
4. Thy laws, O God, are right;
Thy throne shall ever stand;
And Thy victorious Gospel proves
A scepter in Thy hand.
5. Thy Father and Thy God
Hath without measure shed
His Spirit, like a joyful oil,
To anoint Thy sacred head.
6. Behold, at Thy right hand
The Gentile church is seen,
Like a fair bride in rich attire,
And princes guard the queen.
7. Fair bride, receive His love,
Forget thy father’s house;
Forsake thy gods, thy idol gods,
And pay thy Lord thy vows.
8. O let Thy God and king
Thy sweetest thoughts employ;
Thy children shall His honors sing
In palaces of joy. Used With Tune: AYLESBURY Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

The Brevity of Human Life
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I constant care will take Lyrics: 1 I constant care will take,
Lest sinful words they hear;
My lips their silence shall not break
While wicked men are near.
2 I dumb and silent stood,
No words of mine were heard;
I e'en refrained from speaking good,
Till sorrow's deeps were stirred.
3 My heart was all on fire,
With burning tho'ts suppressed;
My tongue was loosed, my soul's desire
I then to God addressed.
4 My end, Lord, make me know,
My days, how soon they fall;
And to my thoughtful spirit show
How weak I am and frail.
5 To Thy eternal thought
My days are but a span;
To Thee my years appear as nought,
A breath at best is man.
6 Man lives in empty show,
His anxious care is vain,
He hoards his wealth, and does not know
Who shall possess his gain.

My trust is in the Lord
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My trust is in the Lord:
How say ye then to me,
"Now like a bird from peril haste,
And to your mountain flee?"
2 Lo, sinners bend the bow
With arrow fixed for flight;
And stealthily in darkness go
The true in heart to smite.
3 What can the righteous do,
What can for them avail,
When all foundations are destroyed,
And all the pillars fail?
4 The Lord in Zion dwells,
The Lord is throned on high;
His eyes behold the sons of men
Their hearts and ways to try.
5 The Lord the righteous proves;
But those who scorn the right,
Who love deceit and violence
Are hateful in his sight.
6 For righteous is the Lord,
He loveth righteousness,
And with a gracious countenance
The upright he will bless.
Amen. Topics: God All-seeing; God Divine Perfections of; God Glory of; God Justice of; God Wrath of; Trust in God Scripture: Psalm 11:1-5 Used With Tune: AYLESBURY Text Sources: Compiled from several sources

Ten thousand blessings to Thy name
For goodness so divine.

And Thee the sons adore,
Joined to the Lord in solemn vow,
To be forgot no more.

How plenteous is Thy grace,
Which in Thy love and promised word
Includes our rising race.

Shall own their fathers’ God,
To latest times Thy blessings share,
And sound Thy praise abroad. Used With Tune: AYLESBURY Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns for Public Worship by William Allen (Boston: Leavitt & Lord and D. Burgess, 1836)
