Through all the changing scenes of life
Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715; Nicholas Brady, 1659-1726 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 474 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-21 Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
in trouble and in joy,
the praises of my God shall still
my heart and tongue employ.
2 Of his deliverance I will boast,
till all that are distressed,
when learning this, will comfort take
and calm their griefs to rest.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
with me exalt his name;
when in distress to him I called
he to my rescue came.
4 The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliverance he affords for all
who in his mercy trust.
5 O make but trial of his love;
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they,
who in his truth confide.
6 Fear him, you saints, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
if in his service you delight,
your wants shall be his care.

Sing the sweet promise of his grace,
And the performing God.

For wretched, dying men:
His hand hath writ the sacred word
With an immortal pen.

Those everlasting lines.

As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars along,
Speaks all the promises.

To know thy favor sure;
I trust the all-creating voice,
And faith desires no more.

Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 159 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
in this our evil day;
to all thy tempted followers give
the power to watch and pray.
2 Long as our fiery trials last,
long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on thee be cast
in never-ceasing prayer.
3 The Spirit's interceding grace
give us in faith to claim;
to wrestle till we see thy face,
and know thy hidden name.
4 Till thou thy perfect love impart,
till thou thyself bestow,
be this the cry of every heart,
'I will not let thee go.'
5 I will not let thee go, unless
thou tell thy name to me;
with all thy great salvation bless,
and make me all like thee.
6 Then let me on the mountain-top
behold thine open face;
where faith in sight is swallowed up,
and prayer in endless praise. Topics: Transfiguration Used With Tune: ST ETHELDREDA

thou wast fasting in the wild;
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled:
2 Sunbeams scorching all the day;
chilly dew-drops nightly shed;
prowling beasts about thy way;
stones thy pillow, earth thy bed.
3 Shall not we thy sorrows share,
and from earthly joys abstain,
fasting with unceasing prayer,
glad with thee to suffer pain?
4 And if Satan, vexing sore,
flesh or spirit should assail,
thou, his vanquisher before,
grant we may not faint nor fail.
5 So shall we have peace divine;
holier gladness ours shall be;
round us too shall angels shine,
such as ministered to thee.
6 Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by thy side;
that with thee we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide. Topics: Lent; Ash Wednesday; Lent I Year A; Lent I Year B; Lent I Year C Used With Tune: AUS DER TIEFE (HEINLEIN)
