Good is the Lord, and Full of Kind Compassion

Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life First Line: Good is the Lord and full of kind compassion Lyrics: 1 Good is the Lord and full of kind compassion, Most slow to anger, plenteous in love; Rich is His grace to all that humbly seek Him, Boundless and endless as the heavens above. His love is like a father's to his children, Tender and kind to all who fear His Name; For well He knows our weakness and our frailty, He knows that we are dust, He knows our frame. 2 We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty, Like tender grass that soon will disappear; But evermore the love of God is changeless, Still shown to those who look to Him in fear. High in the heavens His throne is fixed forever, His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole; Bless ye the Lord through all His wide dominion, Bless His most holy Name, O thou my soul. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: LONDONDERRY

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Blest be the Lord, my rock, my might, My constant Helper in the fight, My shield, my righteousness, My strong high tower, my Savior true, Who doth my enemies subdue, My shelter in distress. 2 Lord, what is man, what has he wrought, The son of man, that in Thy thought To hold him Thou shouldst deign? For man is like a breath, a sight, His days on earth as quickly fly As shadows o'er the plain. 3 Lord, how Thy heavens, in might descend, Touch Thou the hills, the mountains rend, And they shall smoke and flame; As arrows send Thy lightnings out to put Thy enemies to rout, And fill Thy foes with shame. 4 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From trouble's dark and raging sea, And from the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong. 5 Now will I sing a glad new song, Thy praise, O God, I will prolong, For Thou hast heard my prayer; Salvation Thou dost give to kings, Thy own dost keep, with sheltering wings, From hurtful sword and snare. 6 O Thou to Whom in trust I flee, Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From all the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong. Scripture: Psalm 144 Used With Tune: MALONE

Our source of blessing will not waver; your mercies, Lord, are clearly seen. 2 You chose to safeguard us forever; your hand has fed us, led us through. When we were troubled, you were ever our helper near, so close and true. This evening we must not be anxious our minds and bodies will be blest. We give you thanks for help so gracious; from dawn to dawn you never rest. 3 We know who is our consolation, unchanging, though night follows day. We know the Rock, our firm foundation; you never fail, our strength and stay. Though you may call us in the evening of lives made weary by our strife, we rest our hope for brighter morning on you, Lord of eternal life! Used With Tune: DIE TUGEND WIRD
