Almighty Father of Mankind
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Almighty Father of mankind,
On Thee our hopes remain;
And when the day of trouble comes
I shall not trust in vain.
2. In early years Thou wast my guide,
And of my youth the friend;
And as my days began with Thee,
With Thee my days shall end.
3. I know the power in whom I trust,
The arm on which I lean;
He will my Savior ever be
Who has my Savior been.
4. My God, who causedst me to hope
When life began to beat,
And, when a stranger in the world,
Didst guide my wandering feet.
5. Thou wilt not cast me off when age
And evil days descend;
Thou wilt not leave me in despair
To mourn my latter end.
6. Therefore in life I’ll trust in Thee,
In death I will adore;
And after death will sing Thy praise
When time shall be no more. Used With Tune: ST. PETER (Reinagle)

How Shall the Young Secure Their Hearts
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 487 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts
and guard their lives from sin?
Your Word, O LORD, the truth imparts
to keep the conscience clean.
2 Your Word is like a heav'nly light
that guides us all the day,
and through the dangers of the night
a lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heav'ns your rule obey,
the earth maintains its place;
and these your servants night and day
your skill and pow'r express.
4 But still your law and gospel, LORD,
have lessons more divine;
not earth stands firmer than your Word
nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Your Word is everlasting truth;
how pure is ev'ry page!
That holy book will guide our youth
and well support our age.

How Shall the Young Secure Their Hearts
Oh, for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 710 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' pressed by many a foe;
That will not tremble on the brink
Of poverty or woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Can lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That sin's wild ocean cannot drown
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last spark is fled
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up the dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this;
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en now the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Consecration Scripture: Luke 17:5 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

O help us, Lord; each hour of need
Author: Henry H. Milman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics:
O help us, Lord, each hour of need
Thy heavenly succor give:
Help us in thought, in word, and deed,
Each hour on earth we live!
O help us, when our spirits cry
With contrite anguish sore;
And when our hearts are cold and dry,
O help us, Lord, the more!
O help us through the prayer of faith
More firmly to believe!
For still the more the servant hath,
The more shall he receive.
O help us, Savior, from on high:
We have no help but thee.
O help us so to live and die
As thine in heaven to be!
Amen.

in him no south or north,
but one great fellowship of love
throughout the whole wide earth.

their high communion find;
his service is the golden cord
close binding humankind.

whate'er your race may be!
Who serves my Father as his child
is surely kin to me.

in him meet south and north;
all Christly souls are one in him
throughout the whole wide earth.
