God is the refuge of his saints

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XLVI.I (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints, When storms of sharp distress invade; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid. 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurl'd Down to the deep, and buried there, Convulsions shake the solid world, Our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar, In sacred peace our souls abide, While ev'ry nation, ev'ery shore, Tremble and dreads the swelling tide. 4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God! Life, love and joy, still guiding thro' And wat’ring our divine abode. 5 That sacred stream, thy holy word, Supports our faith, our fear controls; Sweet peace thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Zion enjoys her Monarch’s love, Secure against a threat'ning hour; Nor can her firm foundations move, Built on his truth and arm'd with pow'r.

God lov'd the world beyond degree

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XCIV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God lov'd the world beyond degree, Sure no such other love can be; He sent his son, who died and sav'd, The whole of man to sin enslav'd. 2 But to complete that glorious plan, The Son of God became like man; When he assum'd our flesh and blood, He died like man, but not as God. 3 He bore the curse to make us bless'd! On him doth our Salvation rest; When all our sins on him were laid, His death for all attonement made. 4 His death has purchas'd life and grace For all the lost of Adam's race; No other sacrifice could pay, For sin, and take our guilt away. 5 They, who on him the Saviour b'lieve, They shall not perish, but shall live; The Saviour came not to condemn The sons of men, but ransom'd them. 6 Come helpless sinners, take a view Come see what Christ has done for you; Believe in him, and trust his pow'r, And he will save you ever more Topics: Whitsun-Monday Scripture: John 3:16-21 Languages: English

God, my supporter and my hope

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LXXIII.II (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 11 God, my supporter and my hope, My help for ever near, Thine arm of mercy held me up, When sinking in despair. 12 Thy counsels, Lord, shall guide my feet Thro' life's bewilder'd race; Thine hand conduct me near thy seat, To dwell before thy face. 13 Were I in heav’n without my God, ’Twould be no joy to me; And whilst this earth is my abode, I long for none but thee. 14 What if the springs of life were broke, And flesh and heart should faint, God is my soul’s eternal rock, The strength of ev'ry saint. 15 Behold the sinners that remove Far from thy presence die; Not all the idol-gods they love Can save them when they cry. 16 But to draw near to thee, my God, Shall be my sweet employ; My tongue shall sound thy works abroad, And tell the world my joy.

God of eternal love

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CVI.II (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 5 God of eternal love, How fickle are our ways! And yet how oft did Isra'l prove Thy constancy of grace! 6 They saw thy wonders wrought, And then thy praise they sung; But soon thy works of pow'r forgot, And murmur'd with their tongue. 7 Now they believe his word, While rocks with rivers flow; Now with their lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduc'd them low. 8 Yet when they mourn'd their faults, He hearken'd to their groans; Brought his own cov'nant to his thoughts, And call'd them still his sons. 9 Their names were in his book, He sav'd them from their foes; Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook The people that he chose. 10 Let Isra'l bless the Lord, Who loved their ancient race; And Christians join the solemn word, Amen to all the praise.

God of my childhood, and my youth

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LXXI.III (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 13 God of my childhood, and my youth, The guide of all my days, I have declar'd thy heav'nly truth, And told thy wond'rous ways. 14 Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs, And leave my fainting heart? Who shall sustain my sinking years, If God my strength depart? 15 Let me thy pow'r and truth proclaim To the rising age, And leave a savour of thy name When I shall quit the stage. 16 The land of silence and of death Attends my next remove; Oh may these poor remains of breath Teach the wide world thy love! 17 Thy righteousness is deep and high, Unsearchable thy deeds; Thy glory spreads beyond the sky, And all my praise exceeds. 18 Oft have I heard thy threat'nings roar, And oft endur'd the grief; But when thy hand has prest me sore, Thy grace was my relief. 19 By long experience I have known Thy sov'reign pow'r to save; At Thy command I venture down Securely to the grave. 20 When I lie buried deep in dust, My flesh shall be thy care; These wither'd limbs with thee I trust To raise them strong and fair.

God of my life, look gently down

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XXXIX.III (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 11 God of my life, look gently down, Behold the pains I feel; But I am dumb before thy throne, Nor dare dispute thy will. 12 Diseases are thy servants, Lord, They come at thy command; I’ll not attempt a murm'ring word Against thy chast'ning hand. 13 Yet I may plead with humble cries, Remove thy sharp rebukes; My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes. 14 Crush'd as a moth beneath thy hand, We moulder to the dust; Our feeble pow'rs can ne’er withstand, And all our beauty’s lost. 15 I’m but a stranger here below, As all my fathers were; May I be well prepar'd to go, When I the summons hear! 16 But if my life be spar'd awhile, Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my bus'ness still, And I’ll declare thy love.

God of my life to thee

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCCXLV (1816) Lyrics: 1 God of my life to thee My cheerful soul I raise; Thy goodness bade me be, And still prolongs my days: I see my natal hour return, And bless the day that I was born. 2 A clod of living earth, I glorify thy name, From whom alone my birth, And all my blessings came; Creating and preserving grace Let all that is within me praise. 3 Long as I live beneath, To thee, O let me live! To thee my ev'ry breath In thanks and praises give; Whate'er I have, whate'er I am, Shall magnify my Maker's name. 4 My soul and all its pow'rs, Thine, wholly thine shall be; All, all my happy hours, I consecrate to thee: Me to thine image now restore, And I shall praise thee evermore. 5 I wait thy will to do, As angels do in heav'n; In Christ a creature new, Eternally forgiv'n: I wait thy righteous will to prove, All sanctify'd by perfect love. 6 Then when the work is done, The work of faith with pow'r, Receive thy favour'd son, In death's triumphant hour: Like Moses to thyself convey, And kiss my raptur'd soul away.

God of my mercy and my praise

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise, Thy glory is my song; Tho' sinners speak against thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy Son on earth was found; With cruel slanders, false and vain, They compass'd him around. 3 Their mis'ries his compassion move, Their peace he still pursu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good. 4 Their malice rag'd without a cause, Yet with his dying breath He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And blest his foes in death. 5 Lord, shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes; Give me a soul akin to thine, To love my enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my side engage, And in my Saviour's name I shall defeat their pride and rage Who slander and condemn.

True peace and joy the humble mind In these bless'd promises shall find. 3 No greater blessings can be known, No greater mercies can be shown: To understand that precious word, Is to rejoice in Christ the Lord. 4 O! let us then with patience wait, God's promises are sure and great: His gifts and graces from above Will fill our hearts with joy and love. 5 We bless and praise the Saviour's name, By whom this great salvation came; With all the nations sing his praise And thank him for his saving grace.

God's word of prophecies are giv'n

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XLIV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God's word of prophecies are giv'n, His counsels to reveal; More firm and sure than earth or heav'n, They stand and never fail. 2 This word is like the morning star, Just glaring thro' the skies! First shews its dawning from afar, Until the Sun arise. 3 More piercing than the purest light, It casts aa heav'nly ray; Dispells the pow'r of darkest night, And turns it into day. 4 As all the Prophets prophecied, Inspir'd from God above, All are fulfill'd and verified As circumstances prove. 5 As Moses in his day declar'd, And all the fathers shew'd; The Lord of lite has now appear'd To make us sons of God. 6 May I unto this light give heed! Since none but this alone Can be, the light of life I need: To make the Lord my own. Topics: Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Scripture: 2 Peter 1:16-21 Languages: English
