O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,236 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:20 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 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 Time, like an ever rolling stream,
bears all of us away;
we fly, forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening 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. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Let all the Just to God with Joy
Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33 Lyrics: 1 Let all the Just to God with Joy
their chearful Voices raise;
For well the Righteous it becomes
to sing glad Songs of Praise.
2,3 Let Harps, and Psalteries, and Lutes
in joyful Concert meet;
And new-made Songs of loud Applause
the Harmony complete.
4,5 For faithful is the Word of God
His Works with Truth abound:
He Justice loves; and all the Earth
is with His Goodness crown'd.
6 By his Almighty Word, at first
Heav'n's glorious Arch was rear'd;
And all the beauteous Hosts of light
at his Command appear'd.
7 The swelling Floods, together roll'd,
He makes in Heaps to lie;
And lays, as in a Store-house, safe,
the watry Treasures by.
8,9 Let Earth and all that dwell therein,
before Him trembling stand;
For, when he spake the Word, 'twas made:
'twas fix'd at his Command.
10 He, when the Heathen closely plot,
their counsels undermines;
His Wisdom ineffectual makes
the Peoples rash Designs.
11 Whate'er the mighty Lord decrees,
shall stand for ever sure;
The settled Purpose of his Heart
to Ages shall endure.
Part II
12 How happy then are they to whom
the Lord for God is known!
Whom He, from all the World besides,
has chosen for his own.
13,14,15 He all the Nations of the Earth
from Heav'n, his Throne, survey'd:
He saw their Works, and view'd their Thoughts;
by him their Hearts were made.
16,17 No King is safe by num'rous Hosts;
their Strength the Strong deceives;
No manag'd horse, by Force or Speed,
his Warlike Rider saves.
18, 19 'Tis God, who those that trust in Him,
beholds with gracious Eyes:
He frees their Soul from Death; their Want,
in time of Dearth, supplies.
20,21 Our Soul, our God with Patience waits;
our Help and Shield is He!
Then, Lord, let still our Hearts rejoice,
because we trust in Thee.
22 The Riches of thy Mercy, Lord,
do Thou to us extend;
Since we, for all we want or wish,
on Thee alone depend.
Let all the Just to God with Joy

its own appointed limits keep:

for those in peril on the sea.
2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
and hushed their raging at thy word,
who walked upon the foaming deep,
and calm amid the storm didst sleep:
Oh, hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
upon the waters dark and rude,
who bid there angry tumult cease,
and give, for wild confusion peace:
Oh, hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
shield all of them in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them whereso'er they go:
thus evermore shall rise to thee

In justice have their birth;
In judgment and in deeds of right
The Lord forever takes delight,
With goodness fills the earth.

He breathes, and, lo, each shining sphere
In splendor stands arrayed;
He rolls the waters heap on heap,
He stores away the mighty deep
In garners for it made.

Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 612 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:20 Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
where Jesus answers prayer;
there humbly fall before his feet,
for none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea;
with this I venture nigh:
thou callest burdened souls to thee,
and such, O Lord, am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
by Satan sorely pressed,
by war without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding place,
that, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
and tell him thou hast died.
5 O wondrous love! to bleed and die,
to bear the cross and shame,
that guilty sinners, such as I,
might plead thy gracious name! Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Jesus cross Used With Tune: STRACATHRO
