Author: John Newton Appears in 430 hymnals First Line: Though troubles assail, and dangers affright Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds, without barn or store-house, are fed; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3 When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through: Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, "The Lord will provide."

O what shall I do my Saviour to praise

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what shall I do my Saviour to praise, So faithful and true, so plenteous in grace, So strong to deliver, so good to redeem, The weakest believer that hangs upon Him! 2 How happy the man whose heart is set free, The people that can be joyful in Thee! Their joy is to walk in the light of Thy face, And still they are talking of Jesu's grace. 3 For Thou art their boast, their glory and power; And I also trust to see the glad hour, My soul's new creation, a life from the dead, The day of salvation, that lifts up my head. 4 For Jesus, my Lord, is now my defence; I trust in His word, none plucks me from thence, Since I have found favour, He all things will do; My King and my Saviour shall make me anew. 5 Yes, Lord, I shall see the bliss of Thine own, Thy secret to me shall soon be made known; For sorrow and sadness I joy shall receive, And share in the gladness of all that believe.

O Heavenly King, Look Down from Above

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O heavenly King, look down from above; Assist us to sing Thy mercy and love. So sweetly o’erflowing, so plenteous the store, Thou still art bestowing, and giving us more. 2. O God of our life, we hallow Thy name, Our business and strife is Thee to proclaim. Accept our thanksgiving for creating grace; The living, the living shall show forth Thy praise. 3. Our Father and Lord, almighty art Thou; Preserved by Thy Word, we worship Thee now; The bountiful Donor of all we enjoy, Our tongues, to Thine honor, and lives we employ. 4. But, oh, above all Thy kindness we praise, From sin and from thrall which saves the lost race; Thy Son Thou hast given the world to redeem, And bring us to Heaven whose trust is in Him.

My Soul, Bless the Lord!

Author: Anonymous Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great Lyrics: 1. My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic His state; The light is His garment, the skies are his shade, And over the waters His courts has He laid. 2. He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, The lightning and wind His mission perform; The earth He has founded her station to keep, And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3. O’er mountain and plain the dark waters raged; His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged; Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound, Forbidding the waters to cover the ground. 4. He causes the springs of water to flow In streams ’mid the hills and valleys below; Beside them with singing the birds greet the day, And there the beasts gather their thirst to allay. 5. He waters the hills with rain from the skies, And plentiful grass and herbs He supplies, Supplying the cattle, and blessing man’s toil With bread in abundance, with wine and with oil. 6. The trees which the Lord has planted are fed, And over the earth their branches are spread; They keep in their shelter the birds of the air, The life of each creature the Lord makes His care. 7. Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound, The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground; To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might, Let God in His creatures forever delight. 8. Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet, While sinners depart in ruin complete; My soul, bless Jehovah, His name be adored, Come, praise Him, ye people, and worship the Lord.
