It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand
Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:10 Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand
Weakens our Strength amidst the Race;
Disease and Death at his Command
Arrest us, and cut short our Days.
2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray,
Nor let our Sun go down at Noon;
Thy Years are one eternal Day;
And must thy Children die so soon!
3 Yet in the Midst of Death and Grief
This Thought our Sorrow should asswage;
"Our Father and our Saviour live;
"Christ is the same thro' ev'ry Age.
4 'Twas he this Earth's Foundation laid;
Heav'n is the Building of his Hand;
This Earth grows old, these Heav'ns shall fade;
And all be chang'd at his Command.
5 The starry Curtains of the Sky,
Like Garment shall be laid aside;
But still thy Throne stands firm and high;
Thy Church for ever must abide.
6 Before thy Face thy Church shall live,
And on thy Throne thy Children reign;
This dying World shall they survive,
And the dead Saints be rais'd again.
It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand
For ever shall my Song record
Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:5 Lyrics: 1 For ever shall my Song record
The Truth and Mercy of the Lord;
Mercy and Truth for ever stand,
Like Heav'n, establish'd by his Hand.
2 Thus to his Son he sware, and said,
"With thee my Cov'nant first is made;
"In thee shall dying Sinners live,
"Glory and Grace are thine to give.
3 "Be thou my Prophet, thou my Priest;
"Thy Children shall be ever blest;
"Thou art my chosen King; thy Throne
"Shall stand eternal like my own.
4 "There's none of all my Sons above;
"So much my Image, or my Love;
"Celestial Pow'rs thy Subjects are;
"Then what can Earth to Thee compare?
5 "David, my Servant, whom I chose
"To guard my Flock, to crush my Foes,
"And rais'd him to the Jewish Throne,
"Was but a Shadow of my Son.
6 Now let the Church rejoice, and sing
Jesus her Saviour and her King;
Angels his heavenly Wonders show,
And Saints declare his Works below.
For ever shall my Song record

Maker and Sov'reign Lord
Appears in 39 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:5 Lyrics: 1 Maker and Sov'reign Lord
of Heav'n, and Earth, and Seas,
Thy Providence confirms thy Word,
And answers thy Decrees.
2 The Things so long foretold
By David are fulfill'd,
When Jews and Gentiles join'd to slay
Jesus, thine only Child.
3 Why did the Gentiles rage,
and Jews with one Accord
Bend all their Counsels to destroy
Th' Anointed of the Lord?
4 Rulers and Kings agree
to form a vain Design,
Against the Lord their Pow'rs unite,
against his Christ they join.
5 The Lord derides their Rage,
and will support his Throne;
He that hath rais'd him from the Dead
hath own'd him for his Son.
6 Now he's ascended high,
and asks to rule the Earth;
The Merit of his Blood he pleads,
and pleads his heav'nly Birth.
7 He asks, and God bestows
a large Inheritance;
Far as the World's remotest Ends
His Kingdom shall advance.
8 The Nations that rebel
must feel his Iron Rod:
He'll vindicate those Honours well
Which he received from God.
9 Be wise, ye Rulers, now,
and worship at his Throne;
With trembling Joy, ye People, bow
to God's exalted Son.
10 If once his Wrath arise,
ye perish on the Place;
Then blessed is the Soul that flies
for Refuge to his Grace.
Maker and Sov'reign Lord

God is love: let heaven adore him
Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:10 First Line: God is love: let heav'n adore him Lyrics: 1 God is love: let heav'n adore him;
God is love: let earth rejoice;
let creation sing before him,
and exalt him with one voice.
He who laid the earth's foundation,
he who spread the heav'ns above,
he who breathes through all creation,
he is love, eternal Love.
2 God is love: and he enfoldeth
all the world in one embrace;
with unfailing grasp he holdeth
ev'ry child of ev'ry race.
And when human hearts are breaking
under sorrow's iron rod,
then they find that self-same aching
deep within the heart of God.
3 God is love: and though with blindness
sin afflicts the human soul,
God's eternal loving-kindness
guides and heals and makes us whole.
Sin and death and hell shall never
o'er us final triumph gain;
God is love, so love for ever
o'er the universe must reign. Topics: Grace and Providence; Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving; Redemption and Salvation; Suffering and Sorrow; Year B Easter 5; Year C Easter 7; Years A, B, and C Christmas Day Used With Tune: ALLELUIA
