God of My Life, Through All My Days

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 242 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God of my life, through all my days, My grateful powers shall sound Thy praise; My song shall wake with opening light, And cheer the dark and silent night. 2. When anxious cares would break my rest, And griefs would tear my throbbing breast, Thy tuneful praises, raised on high, Shall check the murmur and the sigh. 3. When death o’er nature shall prevail, And all its powers of language fail, Joy through my swimming eyes shall break, And mean the thanks I cannot speak. 4. But O! when that last conflict’s o’er, And I am chained to earth no more, With what glad accents shall I rise To join the music of the skies! 5. Soon shall I learn the exalted strains Which echo through the heavenly plains; And emulate, with joy unknown, The glowing seraphs round the throne. 6. The cheerful tribute will I give, Long as a deathless soul shall live; A work so sweet, a theme so high, Demands and crowns eternity.

O Spirit of the living God

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 379 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, in all the fullness of Your grace, wherever human feet have trod, descend upon our fallen race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love to preach the reconciling word; anoint with power from heaven above whenever gospel truth is heard. 3 Let darkness turn to radiant light, confusion vanish from your path; souls without strength inspire with might: let mercy triumph over wrath. 4 O Spirit of our God, prepare the whole wide world the Lord to meet; breathe out new life, like morning air, till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and near the triumphs of the cross record; till Christ in glory shall appear and every people call Him Lord!
