O Praise The Lord! His Name Extol

Author: Johann Olearius; Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord! His name extol, The God of skill and might, Who formed my body, breathed my soul And gave me life and light-- My Father, whose paternal care, To me from childhood shown, Exceeds my effort to declare, Exceeds what I have known. 2 O praise the Lord! Adore His grace, My God, my only trust, The Son, who, loving our lost race, United with our dust-- My Savior, who for me has giv'n His all-atoning blood To raise me up from earth to heav'n, From wretchedness to God. 3 O praise the Lord, the Holy One, My God, who seals my peace, Sent by the Father and the Son To guide me home to bliss-- The Comforter, whose quick'ning pow'r Assists me day by day, Whose counsels, in the darkest hour, My trembling spirit stay. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Trinity Used With Tune: CHESTER

O Lord! how happy is the time

Author: Wolfgang Christoph Dessler; Greville Matheson Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord! how happy is the time, When in Thy love I rest, When from my weariness I climb E'en to Thy tender breast. The night of sorrow endeth there, The rays outshine the sun, And in Thy pardon, and Thy care, The heav'n of heav'ns is won. 2 The world may call itself my foe, Or let the world allure, I care not for the world, I go To this tried Friend and sure. And when life's fiercest storms are sent, Upon life's wildest sea, My little bark is confident, Because it holds by Thee. 3 When the law threatens endless death, Upon the dreadful hill, Straightway from its consuming breath My soul mounts higher still; It hastes to Jesus, wounded, slain, And finds in Him its home, Whence it shall not go forth again, And where no death can come. 4 I do not fear the wilderness, Where Thou hast been before; Nay! rather would I daily press Toward Thee, and near Thee more! Thou art my strength, on Thee I lean, My heart Thou makest sing, And to Thy pastures rich and green Thy chosen flock wilt bring. 5 And if the gate that opens there Be closed to other men, It is not closed to those who share The heart of Jesus then. That is not losing much of life, Which is not losing thee, Who art as present in the strife, As in the victory!

O Lord, when we the path retrace

Author: James G. Deck Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 40 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, when we the path retrace Which Thou on earth hast trod; To men Thy wondrous love and grace, Thy faithfulness to God: Thy love, by man so sorely tried, Proves stronger than the grave; The very spear that pierced Thy side Drew forth the blood to save. 2 Faithful amid unfaithfulness, 'Mid darkness only light, Thou didst Thy Father's name confess, And in His will delight; Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles, Or suffering, shame, and loss: Thy path, uncheered by earthly smiles Led only to the cross. 3 O Lord! with sorrow and with shame, Before Thee we confess How little we, who bear Thy name, Thy mind, Thy ways express. Give us Thy meek, Thy lowly mind: We would obedient be, And all our rest and pleasure find In learning, Lord, of Thee. Amen.
