Author: Mrs. Sarah Adams Hymnal: HRGC1892 #344a (1894) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Mrs. Sarah Adams Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Though like A wanderer, Weary and lone, Darkness comes over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3 There let my way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given: Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Altars I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 5 Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Jos. Addison Hymnal: HRGC1892 #464 (1894) Person Name: Jos. Addison Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav’ns, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th’ unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator’s power display; And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty Hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And, nightly to the listening earth, Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound, Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reason’s ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; Forever singing, as they shine. "The Hand that made us is divine." Languages: English Tune Title: [The spacious firmament on high

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: HRGC1892 #657a (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Oh, how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravished heart? But Thou canst read it there. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A joyful song I'll raise; But oh, eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise! Amen. Topics: Home and Personal Use Languages: English Tune Title: [When all Thy mercies, O my God]

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Jos. Addison Hymnal: HRGC1892 #659 (1894) Person Name: Jos. Addison Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday steps he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads, My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.
