Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews
Author: Charles Bernard Garve; Miss Winkworth Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews,
Falls soft on hearts that pine;
Lord, to Thy garden ne'er refuse
This heavenly balm of Thine.
Watered by Thee, let every tree
Forth blossom to Thy praise,
By grace of Thine bear fruit divine,
Through all the coming days.
2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword,
A wedge that cleaveth stone;
Keen as a fire, so burns Thy Word,
And pierceth flesh and bone.
Let it go forth o'er all the earth,
To cleanse our hearts within,
To show Thy power in Satan's hour
And break the might of sin.
3 Thy Word, a wondrous guiding star,
On pilgrim hearts doth rise,
Leads those to God who dwell afar,
And makes the simple wise.
Let not its light e'er sink in night;
In every spirit shine,
That none may miss heaven's final bliss,
Led by Thy light divine. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word of God; Sexagesima Sunday Used With Tune: OLD 132D PSALM

2 how to the Lord he swore:
And vow'd a vow to Jacobs God,
to keepe for evermore.
3 I will not come within my house
nor climb up to my bed:
4 Nor let my Temples take their rest
nor the eyes in my head.
5 Till I have found out for the Lord,
a place to sit thereon:
An house for Jacobs God to be
an habitation.
6 We heard of it at Ephrata,
theredid we heare this sound:
and in the fields and forests there,
these voices first were found.
7 We will assay and go in now
his Tabernacle there:
Before his foot-stool to fall down,
and worship him in feare.
8 Arise, O Lord, arise, I say,
into thy resting place:
Both thou and the Arke of thy strength,
the presence of thy grace.
9 Let all thy priests be clothed, Lord,
with truth and righteousnesse:
Let all thy Saints and holy men
sing all with joyfullnesse.
10 And for thy servant Davids sake
refuse not, Lord, I say.
The face of thine annointed Lord
not turn thy face away.
The second Part:
11 The Lord to David swore in truth
and will not shrink from it:
Saying the fruit of thy body
upon thy seat shall sit.
12 And if thy sonnes my covenant keep,
that I shall learne each one:
Then shall their sonnes for ever sit
upon thy princely throne.
13 The Lord himselfe hath chose Sion,
and loves therein to dwellL
Saying this is my resting place,
I love and like it well.
14 And I will blesse with great increase
her victuals every where:
And I will satisfie with bread
the needy that be there.
15 Yes I will deck and clothe her Priests
with my salvation!
And all her Saints shall sing for joy
of my protection.
16 There will I surely make the horne
of David for to bud:
For there I have ordain'd for mine
a lanterne bright and good.
17 As for his enemies,, I will clothe
with shame for evermore:
But I will cause his crown to shine
more fresh than heretofore.
