Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1,832 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:11 Lyrics: 1. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.
2. Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me thro' the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
O Day of Rest and Gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 814 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:13-14 Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
most beautiful, most bright;
on you the high and lowly,
through ages joined in tune,
sing "Holy, holy, holy,"
to the great God triune,
2 On you, at the creation,
the light first had its birth;
on you, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
on you our Lord, victorious,
the Spirit sent from heav'n;
and thus on you, most glorious,
a triple light was giv'n.
3 You are a port protected
from storms that round us rise;
a garden intersected
with streams of paradise;
you are a cooling fountain
in life's dry, dreary sand;
from you, like Pisgah's mountain,
we view the promised land.
4 Today on weary nations
the heav'nly manna falls;
to holy convocations
the silver trumpet calls,
where gospel light is glowing
with pure and radiant beams,
and living water flowing
with soul-refreshing streams.
5 New graces ever gaining
from this our day of rest,
we reach the rest remaining
to spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
to Father and to Son;
the church her voice upraises
to you, blest Three in One.

Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgement
purge this land of bitter things;

with the healing of your wings.

cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.

cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord. Topics: Our Response to God in intercession and petition; The Church Celebrates National Life; God in judgement and justice; Nation and Society; Word of God Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

So sweet a rest to wearied minds;

As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Which none, but he who feels it, knows.

In various scenes, both old and new;
With praise we think of mercies past,
With hope we future pleasures taste.

In holy pleasures pass away:
How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

and all-discerning love hath sent.

restless for the common good.

quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed —

Isaiah 58:5-9: Attend, and mark the solemn fast
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:5-9 First Line: Attend, and mark the solemn fast Lyrics:
Attend, and mark the solemn fast
which to the Lord is dear;
Disdain the false unhallowed mask
which vain dissemblers wear.
Do I delight In sorrow’s dress?
saith he who reigns above;
The hanging head and rueful look,
will they attract my love?
Let such as feel oppression’s load
thy tender pity share:
And let the helpless, homeless poor,
be thy peculiar care.
Go, bid the hungry orphan be
with thy abundance blest;
Invite the wand’rer to thy gate,
and spread the couch of rest.
135
Let him who pines with piercing cold
by thee be warmed and clad;
Be thine the blissful task to make
the downcast mourner glad.
Then, bright as morning, shall come forth,
in peace and joy, thy days;
And glory from the Lord above
shall shine on all thy ways.
Isaiah 58:5-9: Attend, and mark the solemn fast
