Lord, while for humankind we pray
Author: John Reynell Wreford, 1800-1881 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 322 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, while for humankind we pray
of every clime and coast,
O hear us for our native land,
the land we love the most.
2 Our fathers' resting places here,
and here our kindred dwell,
our children too: how should we love
another land so well?
3 O guard our shores from every foe,
with peace our borders bless;
with prosperous times our cities crown,
our fields with plenteousness.
4 O may we, Lord, be one in You
in knowledge, truth and love;
and let our songs of freedom rise
from earth to heaven above.
5 Lord of the nations, thus to You
our country we commend;
be now her refuge and her trust,
her everlasting friend. Used With Tune: ST PAUL (ABERDEEN) Text Sources: Adapt.: Compilers

O God of Bethel, by whose hand
O thou my soul, bless God the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou my soul, bless God the Lord;
and all that in me is
be stirred up his holy name
to magnify and bless.
2 Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
and not forgetful be
of all his gracious benefits
he hath bestowed on thee.
3 All thine iniquities who doth
most graciously forgive:
who thy diseases all and pains
doth heal, and thee relieve.
4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
to death mayest not go down;
who thee with loving-kindness doth
and tender mercies crown:
5 Who with abundance of good things
doth satisfy thy mouth;
so that, even as the eagle’s age,
renewed is thy youth.
6 God righteous judgment executes
for all oppressed ones.
7 His ways to Moses he made known,
his acts to Israel’s sons.
8 The Lord our God is merciful,
and he is gracious,
long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
in mercy plenteous.
9 He will not chide continually,
nor keep his anger still.
10 With us he dealt not as we sinned,
nor did requite our ill.
11 For as the heaven in its height
the earth surmounteth far,
so great to those that do him fear
his tender mercies are:
12 As far as east is distant from
the west, so far hath he
from us removed, in his love,
all our iniquity.
13 Such pity as a father hath
unto his children dear,
like pity shows the Lord to such
as worship him in fear.
14 For he remembers we are dust,
and he our frame well knows.
15 Frail man, his days are like the grass,
as flower in field he grows:
16 For over it the wind doth pass,
and it away is gone;
and of the place where once it was
it shall no more be known.
17 But unto them that do him fear
God’s mercy never ends;
and to their children’s children still
his righteousness extends:
18 To such as keep his covenant,
and mindful are alway
Of his commandments just and good,
that they may them obey.

Lord, When My Raptured Thought Surveys
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, when my raptured thought surveys
Creation’s beauties o’er,
All nature joins to teach Thy praise,
And bid my soul adore.
2 Whene’er I turn my gazing eyes,
Thy radiant footsteps shine;
Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise,
And speak their source divine.
3 The living tribe of countless forms,
In earth and sea and air;
The meanest flies, the smallest worms,
Almighty power declare.
4 All rose to life at Thy command,
And wait their daily food
From Thy paternal, bounteous hand,
Exhaustless spring of good!
5 The meads, arrayed in smiling green,
With wholesome herbage crowned;
The fields with corn, a richer scene,
Spread Thy full bounties round,
6 The fruitful tree, the blooming flower,
In varied charms appear;
Their varied charms display Thy power,
Thy goodness all declare.
7 The sun’s productive quickening beams
The growing verdure spread;
Refreshing rains and cooling streams
His gentle influence aid.
8 The moon and stars his absent light
Supply with borrowed rays,
And deck the sable veil of night,
And speak their Maker’s praise.
9 Thy wisdom, power and goodness, Lord,
In all Thy works appear;
And O let man Thy praise record;
Man, Thy distinguished care.
10 From Thee the breath of life he drew;
That breath Thy power maintains;
Thy tender mercy ever new,
His brittle frame sustains.
11 Yet nobler favors claim his praise,
Of reason’s light possessed;
By revelation’s brighter rays
Still more divinely blest.
12 Thy providence, his constant guard
When threatening woes impend,
Or will th’ impending dangers ward,
Or timely succors lend.
13 On me that providence has shone
With gentle smiling rays;
O let my lips and life make known
Thy goodness, and Thy praise.
14 All bounteous Lord, Thy grace impart;
O teach me to improve
Thy gifts with ever grateful heart,
And crown them with Thy love. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

When Languor and Disease Invade
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 305 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When languor and disease invade
This trembling house of clay,
’Tis sweet to look beyond my pains,
And long to fly away.
2. Sweet to look inward, and attend
The whispers of His love;
Sweet to look upward to the place
Where Jesus pleads above.
3. Sweet to look back, and see my name
In life’s fair book set down;
Sweet to look forward and behold
Eternal joys my own.
4. Sweet to reflect how grace divine
My sins on Jesus laid;
Sweet to remember that His blood
My debt of suffering paid. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Countess of Huntingdon's Collection, 1780, number 238

we own your power to save,
that power by which our Shepherd rose
victorious o’er the grave.
2 Him from the dead you brought again,
when, by his sacred blood,
confirmed and sealed forevermore
the eternal covenant stood.
3 O may your Spirit seal our souls,
and mould them to your will,
that our weak hearts no more may stray,
but keep your precepts still;
4 That to perfection's sacred height
we nearer still may rise,
and all we think, and all we do,
be pleasing in your eyes.

Father of peace, and God of love
The head that once was crowned with thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Appears in 522 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His, is His by right,
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal light,
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace; is given,
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above,
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of His love.
6 The cross to them is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him;
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.
