Through All the Changing Scenes of Life

Author: Nicholas Brady; Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 480 hymnals First Line: Thro' all the changing scenes of life Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble and in joy, The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ. 2 Of His deliv'rance I will boast Till all that are distrest From my example comfort take And charm their griefs to rest. 3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, With me exalt His name! When in distress to Him I cried, He to my rescue came. 4 The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliv'rance He affords to all Who on His succor trust. 5 Oh, make but trial of His love! Experience will decide How blest are they, and only they, Who in His truth confide. 6 Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then Have nothing else to fear: Make you His service your delight, He'll make your wants His care.

Rejoice, My heart, Be Glad and Sing

Author: John Kelly; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, my heart, be glad and sing, A cheerful trust maintain; For God, the Source of ev'rything, Thy portion shall remain. 2 He is thy Treasure, He thy Joy, Thy Life and Light and Lord, Thy Counselor when doubts annoy, Thy Shield and great Reward. 3 Why spend the day in blank despair, In restless tho't the night? On thy Creator cast thy care; He makes thy burdens light. 4 Did not Hs love and truth and pow'r Watch o'er thy childhood day? Has He not oft in threat'ning hour Turn dreaded ills away? 5 He ever will with patience chide, His rod falls gently down, And all thy sins he casts aside And in the sea doth drown. 6 When silent woe thy bosom rends, His pity sees thy grief, Supplies what to His glory tends And to thine own relief. 7 He knows how oft a Christian weeps And why his tears now fall; And in the book His mercy keeps These things are noted all. 8 His wisdom never plans in vain, Nor falters nor mistakes; All that His counsels did ordain A happy ending makes. 9 Upon thy lips, then, lay thy hand And trust His guiding love; Then like a rock your peace shall stand Here and in heaven above. Amen. Topics: Cross and Comfort Scripture: Psalm 56:8 Used With Tune: ICH SINGE DIR

Who spread th'expanse of blue? By whom are to our pastures sent Refreshing rain and dew? 5 Who warmeth us in cold and rain? Who shields us from the wind? Who orders it that fruit and grain We in their season find? 6 Who is it life and health bestows? Who keeps us with His hand In golden peace, wards off war’s woes From our dear native land? 7 O Lord, of this and all our store Thou art the Author blest; Thou keepest watch before our door While we securely rest. 8 Thou feedest us from year to year And constant dost abide; With ready help in time of fear Thou standest at our side. 9 Our deepest need dost Thou supply, And all that lasts for aye; Thou leadest us to our home on high When hence we pass away.
