God, Whose Almighty Word
Author: John Marriott, 178-1825 Appears in 446 hymnals Topics: Authority of God Lyrics: 1 God, whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight,
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the Gospel day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!
2 Savior, who came to give
Those who in darkness live
Healing and sight,
Help those who seek to find,
Heal those whose hearts are blind,
And in each humble mind
Let there be light!
3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life giving, holy dove,
Speed forth your flight;
Move on the water's face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!
4 Holy and blessed Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might;
Boundless as ocean's tide
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the earth far and wide
Let there be light! Used With Tune: MOSCOW Text Sources: Evangelical Magazine, June, 1825, alt.
God, Whose Almighty Word
O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Authority of God Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2 Beneath the shadow of your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is your arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received its frame,
From everlasting you are God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
Are like an ev'ening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever rolling stream,
Bears all our lives away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be now our guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Nor wanting, nor wasting, you rule day and night;
Your justice like mountains high soaring above;
Your clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 Life-giving creator of both great and small;
Of all life the maker, the true life of all;
We blossom, then wither as leaves on a tree,
But you live for ever, who are and will be.

Your angels adore you, all veiling their sight;
We too, God invisible, offer our praise;
O light all-embracing, O Ancient of Days! Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:17 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO

Lay buried in the horrid gloom.

Nature array'd in charms unknown,
Gay with its new-born lustre shone.

In shades of ignorance and vice,
And darts from heaven a vivid ray,
And changes midnight into day.

On this benighted heart of mine;
And let thy glories stand reveal'd,
As in the savior's face beheld.

Thy radiant image shall display,
While all my faculties unite
To praise the Lord, who gives me light. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6
