The All-Seeing God
Author: Florence S. Smith Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: As Hagar in the desert Lyrics: 1 As Hagar in the desert,
Thrust forth by blows and strife,
Sat lonely by the well side,
Aweary of her life,
There came the angel message,
Arise and homeward fare;
For, though the wild seemed empty,
The mighty God was there.
2 When secret sins beset me,
And temptings snare my feet,
Till hid from human vision
I think their fruits are sweet;
Thy presence hovers o’er me,
I cannot hide or flee—
O thought how dread and awful,
That Thou, God, seest me.
3 When turned from paths of evil,
I dare not seek Thy face,
But kneel in deep abasement
Before the throne of grace;
When only tears are telling
The prayers I bring to Thee,
O thought how sweet and tender,
That Thou, God, seest me.
4 When, lost in life’s great desert,
Worn out by sin and strife,
I sit beside the fountain
Where springs the stream of life,
Send Thou the angel message;
Let my one comfort be,
Still, still, where’er I wander,
That Thou, God, seest me. Used With Tune: MADEIRA Text Sources: The International Lesson Hymnal (Chicago: David C. Cook, 1878)
The All-Seeing God
We Bring No Glittering Treasures
Author: Harriet C. Phillips Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 115 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 We bring no glittering treasures,
No gems from earth’s deep mine;
We come, with simple measures,
To chant Thy love divine.
Children, Thy favors sharing,
Their voice of thanks would raise,
Father, accept our offering,
Our song of grateful praise.
2 The dearest gift of Heaven,
Love’s written word of truth,
To us is early given,
To guide our steps in youth.
We hear the wondrous story,
The tale of Calvary;
We read of homes in glory,
From sin and sorrow free.
3 Redeemer, grant Thy blessing,
O, teach us how to pray!
That each, Thy fear possessing,
May tread life’s onward way.
Then, where the pure are dwelling,
We’ll hope to meet again;
And, sweeter numbers swelling,
For ever praise Thy name. Used With Tune: MADEIRA Text Sources: Hymns for Sunday Schools by G. Lane and P. P. Sandford (New York: 1842)
