Now Praise the Hidden God of Love

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Mor1995 #803 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now praise the hidden God of love, in whom we all must live and move, who shepherds us, at ev'ry stage, through youth, maturity, and age: 2 who challenged us, when we were young, to storm the citadels of wrong; in care for others taught us how God's true community must grow: 3 who bids us never lose our zest, though age is urging us to rest, but proves to us that we have still a work to do, a place to fill. 4 Then talk no more of waster time, but God-ward look, and upward climb, content to sleep, when day is done, and rise refreshed, and travel on.

Our God Eternal, Reigning

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Mor1995 #806 (1995) Lyrics: 1 Our God eternal, reigning, creation's life sustaining, our refuge and our home; enthroned, in light surrounded, when earth was yet unfounded, the living God, to him we come. 2 We fade, a dream that passes, like withered meadow grasses when summer's sun has shone. Before that face all-seeing of God who gave us being, we pass away and we are gone. 3 O God of mercy, hear us, in steadfast love draw near us, from age to age the same; that we, be grace defended, when earthly days are ended, may live to praise a Savior's name.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see. O Lord who changes not, abide with me. 3 I need your presence every passing hour. What but your grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like yourself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless, though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still, if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your cross before my closing eyes. Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heav'n's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
