O God, Regard My Humble Plea

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, regard my humble plea; I cannot be so far from Thee But Thou wilt hear my cry; When I by trouble am distressed, Then lead me on the Rock to rest That higher is than I. 2 In Thee my soul hath shelter found, And Thou hast been from foes around The tower to which I flee. Within Thy house will I abide; My refuge sure, whate'er betide, Thy sheltering wings shall be. 3 For Thou, O God, my vows hast heard, On me the heritage conferred Of those that fear Thy name; A blest anointing Thou dost give, And Thou wilt make me ever live Thy praises to proclaim. 4 Before Thy face shall I abide; O God, Thy truth and grace provide To guard me in the way; So I will make Thy praises known, And, humbly blending at Thy throne, My vows will daily pay. Amen. Topics: Aspiration; God Strength and Refuge; Hope; Life in Christ Hope and Aspiration Scripture: Psalm 61 Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Great God, We Praise Your Mighty Love

Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God we praise your mighty love which urges us to rise above constricting doubts and fears; your purpose is to set us free to live our lives creatively throughout the coming years. 2 We praise you for the love we see in husband, wife and family, in friends and neighbours too; the love which nurtured us from birth, the love which teaches human worth and lifts our minds to you. 3 We praise you most for love supreme which breaks through pain and death to stream in unrestricted light; which from Christ's resurrection dawn has shone, and never been withdrawn, to make our future bright. 4 For by your perfect love refined, our own will not be undermined by futile guilt and shame; but through disaster, grief and strife we'll reaffirm the joy of life and glorify your name.

The Good Man's Steps Are Led Aright

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The good man's steps are led aright, His way is pleasing in God's sight, Established it shall stand; He shall not perish though he fall, The mighty Lord who rules o'er all Upholds him with His hand. 2 Though I am old who young have been, No saint have I forsaken seen, Nor yet his home in need; He ever lends in gracious ways, His life true charity displays, His sons are blest indeed. 3 Depart from evil, do thou well, And evermore securely dwell; Jehovah loves the right. His faithfulness His saints have proved, Forever they shall stand unmoved, But sinners God will smite. 4 The righteous, through His favoring hand, Shall yet inherit all the land And dwell therein for aye; He talks of wisdom and of right, In God's pure law is his delight, His steps go not astray.
