Family prayer

Appears in 100 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:19 First Line: Father of all, thy care we bless Lyrics: 1 Father of all, thy care we bless, Which crowns our families with peace, From thee they spring, and, by thy hand There were and still shall be sustain'd. 2 To God, most worthy to be prais'd, Be our domestic altars rais'd; Who, Lord of heav'n, scorns not to dwell With saints in their obscurest cell. 3 To thee may each united house, Morning and night, present its vows; Our servants there, and rising race, Be taught thy precepts, and thy grace. 4 O may each future age proclaim The honors of thy glorious name; While pleas'd and thankful, we remove To join the family above.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:27 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God: In vain the loftiest angel tries To reach thy height with wondering eyes. 2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings, He hides his face beneath his wings; Seraphs that most with ardor glow, Still at an humble distance bow. 3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp thy name; But oh, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 4 God is in heaven and man below; Soft be our strains, our words be few; A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits trembling on our tongues.

The Lord would spare, if in the place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single, holy soul So rich a boon obtain? Good God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain? 4 Britain, all guilty as she is, Her numerous saints can boast, And now their fervent prayers ascend, And can those prayers be lost? 5 Are not the righteous dear to thee, Now as in ancient times? Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in its crimes? 6 Still are we thine, we bear thy name, Here yet is thine abode; Long has thy presence bless'd our land, Forsake us not, O God.

I take, content, what he hath sent; his hand can turn my griefs away, and patiently I wait his day. 3 Whate'er my God ordains is right: though now this cup, in drinking, may bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking.

My Father's care is round me there; he holds me that I shall not fall: and so to him I leave it all.

Providence

Author: William Cowper Appears in 1,132 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:25 First Line: God moves in a mysterious way Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take! The clouds ye so much dread, Are big with mercy, and will break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

O happy home, where all, in heart united In holy faith and blessed hope, are one, Whom bitter death a little while divideth, Yet cannot end the union here begun! 2 O happy home where two, in heart united, In holy faith, are clinging unto Thee; Where both, to Thee a joyful service bringing, Hear and obey Thy voice most willingly; Where both, to Thee in truth forever cleaving, In joy, in grief, make Thee their only Stay And fondly hope in Thee to be believing Both in the good and in the evil day. 3 O happy home whose little ones are given Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer, To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven Guides them and guards with more than mother’s care! O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till ev'ry common task seems great and holy When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee! 4 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten When joy is overflowing, full, and free! O happy home, where ev'ry wounded spirit Is brought, O great Physician, unto Thee, Until at last, when earthly toil is ended, All meet Thee in the blessed home above, From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, Thine everlasting home of peace and love!
