Alas! what hourly dangers rise!
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 247 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:36 Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.

And melt in flowing tears!
My weak resistance, ah, how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!

My feeble efforts aid;
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Though trembling and afraid.

When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.

And bid the tempter flee!
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; Dangers by the Way

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:25-28 Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to you we raise;
once revealed, when heaven's star
brought the wise men from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in your birth at Bethlehem,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
2 God revealed at Jordan's stream,
prophet, priest and king supreme;
once revealed in power divine
changing water into wine;
Cana's holy wedding guest
keeping to the last the best;
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
3 God revealed in valiant fight,
conquering the devil's might;
sins forgiven, sickness healed,
life restored and God revealed:
once revealed in gracious will
ever bringing good from ill,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
4 Stars shall fall and heavens fade,
sun and moon shall dark be made;
Christ will then like lightning shine,
all will see the glorious sign;
all will then the trumpet hear,
all will see the Son appear,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR Text Sources: Jubilate Hymns, 1982, rev.
