O God, Whose Law from Age to Age

Author: John H. Holmes Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 8 Lyrics: 1. O God, whose law from age to age No chance or change can know, Whose love forevermore abides, While eons come and go; From all the strife of earthly life, To Thine embrace we flee, And ’mid our crowding doubts and fears Would put our trust in Thee. 2. The winds, Thy faithful messengers, Are guided by Thy hand; Thy ministers, the flames of fire, Obey Thy stern command; The seas resound within the bound Where Thy dominion reigns, And wheeling planets seek the paths Thy mighty will ordains. 3. Thy holy purpose moves before The nations on their way, And leads the stumbling hosts of men From darkness into day. No captain’s sword, no prophet’s word, But Thy great mercy prove; No clime or kindred but attest Thy providence of love. 4. Dear Father, we would learn to trust The doing of Thy will, And in Thy perfect law of love Our doubts and fears would still. Help us to know, in joy or woe, Thy ways are always best, And we, Thy children evermore, By Thy great goodness blest. Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD (Hiles)

Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews

Author: Carl Bernhard Garve; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews, Falls soft on hearts that pine; Lord, to Thy garden ne’er refuse This heavenly balm of Thine. Watered by Thee, let every tree Forth blossom to Thy praise, By grace of Thine bear fruit divine, Through all the coming days. 2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns Thy Word, And pierceth flesh and bone. Let it go forth o’er all the earth To cleanse our hearts within, To show Thy power in Satan’s hour, And break the might of sin. 3 Thy Word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e’er sink in night; In every spirit shine, That none may miss heaven’s final bliss, Led by Thy light divine. Amen. Topics: The Word Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD
