O Where Are Kings and Empires Now
Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 300 hymnals First Line: O where are the kings and empires now Lyrics: 1 O where are kings and empires now
Of old that went and came?
But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
2 We mark her goodly battlements,
And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy Church, O God;
Though earthquake shocks are threatening her,
And tempests are abroad,
4 Unshaken as eternal hills,
Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made by hands.
Amen. Topics: Church, The; Church, The Church Triumphant Scripture: Psalm 48:12-13 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2 Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
with all their lives and cares,
are carried downward by your flood,
and lost in foll'wing years.
6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op'ning day.
7 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come:
O be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home.

A mind at "perfect peace" with God
O God, what time thou didst go forth
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 7 O God, what time thou didst go forth
before thy people’s face;
and when through the great wilderness
thy glorious marching was;
8 then at God’s presence shook the earth,
then drops from heaven fell;
this Sinai shook before the Lord,
the God of Israel.
9 O God, thou to thine heritage
didst send a plenteous rain,
whereby thou, when it weary was,
didst it refresh again.
10 Thy congregation then did make
their habitation there:
of thine own goodness for the poor,
O God, thou didst prepare.
11 The Lord himself did give the word,
the word abroad did spread;
great was the company of them
the same who published.
12 Kings of great armies foiled were,
and forced to flee away;
and women, who remained at home,
distributed the prey.
13 Though ye have lain among the pots,
like doves ye shall appear,
whose wings with silver, and with gold
whose feathers covered are.
14 When there the Almighty scattered kings,
like Salmon’s snow ‘twas white.
15 A hill of God is Bashan's hill,
a towering hill for height.
16 Why do ye frown, ye mountains high,
upon the hill of God?
Here God desires to dwell, the Lord
for aye will make abode.

Unless the Lord Constructs the House
Author: Mollie Knight Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord constructs the house,
the builders work in vain;
the Lord alone designs and builds
foundations that remain.
2 Unless the Lord is keeping watch,
the city cannot stand;
the sentry guards the gates in vain
without God's mighty hand.
3 In vain you labor night and day,
by constant care oppressed;
the Lord supplies your loved ones' needs
and grants them sleep and rest.
4 The Lord designed the family,
providing earthly love;
our children are God's heritage -
a gift from heaven above.
5 Like weapons in a warrior's hand
are those who bear our name;
with them we face a hostile world
assured and free from shame.

O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear,
and hear me graciously;
because I sore afflicted am,
and am in poverty.
2 Because I’m holy, let my soul
by thee preserved be:
O thou, my God, thy servant save,
that puts his trust in thee.
3 Since unto thee all day I cry,
be merciful to me.
4 Rejoice thy servant’s soul; for, Lord,
I lift my soul to thee.
5 For thou art very gracious, Lord,
and ready to forgive;
and rich in mercy, all that call
upon thee to relieve.
6 Hear, Lord, my prayer; unto the voice
of my request attend:
7 in troublous times I’ll call on thee,
for thou wilt answer send.
8 Lord, there is none among the gods
that may compare with thee;
and to the works which thou hast done,
no works can likened be.
9 All nations whom thou mad’st shall come
and worship reverently
before thy face; and they, O Lord,
thy name shall glorify.
10 Because thou art exceeding great,
and works by thee are done
which are to be admired; and thou
art God thyself alone.
11 Teach me thy way, and in thy truth,
O Lord, then walk will I;
unite my heart, that I thy name
may fear continually.
12 O Lord my God, with all my heart
to thee I will give praise;
and I the glory will ascribe
unto thy name always:
13 Because thy mercy toward me
in greatness doth excel,
and thou delivered hast my soul
out from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the proud against me rise,
and violent have met,
who for my soul have sought; and thee
before them have not set.
15 But thou, Lord, art a gracious God
and most compassionate;
long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
in truth and mercy great.
16 O turn to me thy countenance,
and mercy on me have;
thy servant strengthen, and the son
of thine own handmaid save.
17 Show me a sign for good, that they
which do me hate may see,
and be ashamed: because thou, Lord,
didst help and comfort me. Scripture: Psalm 86 Used With Tune: ST ANNE
O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear
