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)

That holy book will guide our youth and well support our age.

Oh, for a Faith That Will Not Shrink

Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 722 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
