O How Can They Look Up to Heaven?
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4986 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O how can they look up to Heaven Lyrics: 1. O how can they look up to Heaven,
And ask for mercy there,
Who never soothed the poor man’s pang,
Nor dried the orphan’s tear?
2. The dread omnipotence of Heaven
We every hour provoke;
Yet still the mercy of our God
Withholds the avenging stroke.
3. And Christ was still the healing friend
Of poverty and pain;
And never did imploring soul
His garment touch in vain.
4. May we with humble effort take
Example from above;
And thence the active lesson learn
Of charity and love!
5. But chiefly be the labor ours
To shade the early plant;
To guard from ignorance and guilt
The infancy of want;
6. To graft the virtues, ere the bud
The canker worm has gnawed,
And teach the rescued child to lisp
Its gratitude to God. Languages: English Tune Title: OLNEY (Gounod)

Our Banner Is The Eternal God
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8773 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Our banner is th’ eternal God Lyrics: 1 Our banner is th’eternal God,
Nor will we yield to fear;
Amidst ten thousand fierce assaults,
His mighty aid is near.
2 To Him the hands of faith we stretch,
And plead experienced grace;
To Him the voice of prayer we raise,
Nor will He hide His face.
3 No more, proud Amalek, thy boast,
God’s arm is feeble grown;
His sword shall lop off every hand
That dares insult His throne.
4 Awake, tremendous Judge, awake,
Our nation’s cause to plead;
Nor let Thine Israel’s foes, and Thine,
By wickedness succeed.
5 Our fainting hands, how soon they droop!
But Thou the weak canst raise;
And in the mount of prayer canst leave
An altar to Thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: OLNEY
