The rising light adorning

Author: A. C. Hymnal: VoP1873 #90 (1873) Person Name: A. C. Lyrics: 1 The rising light adorning, Each day with beams renewed, Announces every morning, The Lord is every good! The gentle, lute-like vespers, That murmur through the wood, In quiet breathings whisper, The Lord is ever good! 2 The fragrant Spring, displaying Her beauteous flowerhood Along the vales, is saying, The Lord is ever good! As Autumn strews before us Her plenteous stores of food, We all respond in chorus, The Lord is ever good! 3 Our sunny days of pleasure, When cares do not intrude, Speak sweetly this glad measure, The Lord is every good! When clouds of sorrow near us, In hours of solitude, Still, still do these words cheer us, The Lord is ever good! 4 The child's light, merry laughter Proclaims in cheerful mood, As echo answers after, The Lord is good--is good! The man, whose frame is riven By age and servitude, May raise his eyes to heaven, And say, The Lord is good! Topics: Attributes of God Goodness; The Lord is Good

Author: J. G. Adams Hymnal: VoP1873 #564 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: J. G. Adams Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers! from whose hand Came all our lights and blessings down; Who this devoted, favored land Dost with thy choicest mercy crown! 2 To learning and to knowledge reared-- We dedicate with prayer and praise This edifice to thee, revered Above all gods, through endless days! 3 Accept the offering--deign to dwell With thy confiding children here; The shades of ignorance dispel-- In Truth's omnipotence appear! 4 Here, through successive years may come The youthful mind--fair wisdom's guest; Long be this house Instruction's home, When those who reared it sink to rest.

Manhood and hoary age, Let naught your joy assuage, In the high theme engage, Praises prolong! 3 God of our fathers' land! Long may our temples stand Sacred to thee! Let thy bright light divine On all the people shine, Make us for ever thine, From sin set free! Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism; Song of Freedom

He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: VoP1873 #119 (1873) Person Name: Sarah F. Adams Lyrics: 1 He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower; Alike they're needful for the flower; And joys and tears alike are sent To give the soul fit nourishment: As comes to me, or cloud, or sun, Father, thy will, not mine, be done! 2 Can loving children e'er reprove With murmurs whom they trust and love? Creator, I would ever be A trusting, loving child to thee: As comes to me, or cloud, or sun, Father, thy will, not mine, be done! 3 Oh, ne'er will I at life repine! Enough that thou hast made it mine; When falls the shadow cold of death, I yet will sing, with parting breath, As comes to me, or shade, or sun, Father, thy will, not mind, be done!

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: VoP1873 #680 (1873) Person Name: Sarah F. 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 the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 3 There let the 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, Bethel 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, Upward I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Addison Hymnal: VoP1873 #25 (1873) Person Name: Addison Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim: The 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; While 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 Amid 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.

How are thy servants blest, O Lord!

Author: Addison Hymnal: VoP1873 #77 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Addison Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defense! Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass unhurt, And breathe in tainted air. 3 When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will; The sea that roars at thy command, At thy command is still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we'll adore; We'll praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 6 Our life, while thou preservest that life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And death, when death shall be out lot, Shall join our souls to thee. Topics: Attributes of God Preserver; Watchful Care Scripture: Psalm 65:5

When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Addison Hymnal: VoP1873 #348 (1873) Person Name: 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. Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 2 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 3 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Topics: General Praise; Gratitude Scripture: Psalm 31:19

Nothing but leaves! the Spirit grieves

Author: Taylor Hymnal: VoP1873 #1047 (1873) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Taylor Lyrics: 1 Nothing but leaves! the Spirit grieves Over a wasted life, O'er sins indulged while conscience slept, O'er vows and promises unkept, That yield, from years of strife, Nothing but leaves. Nothing but leaves. 2 Nothing but leaves! no gathered sheaves Of life's fair ripening grain; We sow our seeds, lo! tares and weeds, Words, idle words, for earnest deeds! We reap with toil and pain, Nothing but leaves. Nothing but leaves. 3 Nothing but leaves! sad memory weaves No vail to hide the past; And as we trace our weary way, Counting each lost and misspent day, Sadly we find at last Nothing but leaves. Nothing but leaves. 4 Ah! who shall thus the Master meet, Bearing but withered leaves? Ah! who shall, at the Saviour's feet, Before the awful judgment-seat, Lay down, for golden sheaves, Nothing but leaves? Nothing but leaves? Topics: Spiritual Songs; Nothing but Leaves
