Up to the hills I lift mine eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #63 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Up to the hills I lift mine eyes, Th' eternal hills beyond the skies; Thence all her help my soul derives; There my Almighty refuge lives. He lives; the everlasting God, That built the world, that spread the flood; The heav'ns with all their hosts he made, And the dark regions of the dead. He guides our feet, he guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day; He spreads the evening veil, and keeps The silent hours while Isr'el sleeps. Isr'el, a name divinely blest, May rise secure, securely rest; Thy holy Guardian's wakeful eyes Admit no slumber nor surprise. No sun shall smite thy head by day, Nor the pale moon with sickly ray Shall blast thy couch; no baleful star Dart his malignant fire so far. Should earth and hell with malice burn, Still thou shalt go, and still return, Safe in the Lord; his heav'nly care Defends thy life from every snare. On thee foul spirits have no power; And in thy last departing hour, Angels that trace the airy road Shall bear thee homeward to thy God.

Upward I lift mine eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #65 (1835) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: Upward I lift mine eyes, From God is all my aid; The God that built the skies, And earth and nature made: God is the tower To which I fly; His grace is nigh In every hour. My feet shall never slide And fall in fatal snares, Since God, my guard and guide, Defends me from my fears: Those wakeful eyes That never sleep Shall Isr'el keep, When dangers rise. No burning heats by day Nor blasts of ev'ning air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there: Thou art my sun, And thou my shade, To guard my head By night or noon. Hast thou not giv'n thy word To save my soul from death? And I can trust my Lord To keep my mortal breath: I'll go and come, Nor fear to die, Till from on high Thou call me home.

Let others boast how strong they be

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: PHDW1835 #66 (1835)

Not from the dust affliction grows

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #67 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Not from the dust affliction grows, Nor troubles rise by chance; Yet we are born to cares and woes; A sad inheritance! As sparks break out from burning coals, And still are upwards borne So grief is rooted in our souls, And man grows lip to mourn. Yet with my God I leave my cause, And trust his promised grace; He rules me by his well-known laws Of love and righteousness. Not all the pains that e'er I bore Shall spoil my future peace, For death and hell can do no more Than what my Father please. Scripture: Job 5:6-8 Languages: English

O God of our salvation hears

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: PHDW1835 #68 (1835)

Would you behold the works of God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #69 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad, Go with the mariners, and trace The unknown regions of the seas. They leave their native shores behind, And seize the favor of the wind; Till God command, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. Now to the heav'ns they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel! When land is far, and death is nigh, Lost to all hope, to God they cry; His mercy hears the loud address, And sends salvation in distress. He bids the winds their wrath assuage, The furious waves forget their rage; 'Tis calm, and sailors smile to see The haven where they wished to be. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private off'rings bring, And in the church his glory sing.

Thy works of glory, mighty Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #70 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord, Thy wonders in the deeps, The sons of courage shall record Who trade in floating ships. At thy command the winds arise, And swell the towering waves; The men astonished mount the skies, And sink in gaping graves. [Again they climb the wat'ry hills, And plunge in deeps again; Each like a tott'ring drunkard reels, And finds his courage vain. Frighted to hear the tempest roar, They pant with flutt'ring breath; And hopeless of the distant shore, Expect immediate death.] Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He bears the loud request, And orders silence through the skies, And lays the floods to rest. Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, And see the storm allayed: Now to their eyes the port appears; There let their vows be paid. 'Tis God that brings them safe to land; Let stupid mortals know That waves are under his command, And all the winds that blow. O that the sons of men would praise The goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wondrous ways, Thy wondrous love record.
