His Way with Thee
Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 197 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1-6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise,
Thee the creations sing:
With thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas,
And heaven's high palace ring.
2 Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky,
How glorious to behold!
Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye,
And starred with sparkling gold.
3 There thou hast bid the globes of light
Their endless circuits run;
There the pale planet rules the night;
The day obeys the sun.
4 If down I turn my wandering eyes
On clouds and storms below,
Those under-regions of the skies,
Thy numerous glories show.
5 The noisy winds stand ready there
Thy orders to obey;
With sounding winds they sweep the air,
To make thy chariot way.
6 But the mild glories of thy grace,
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in Jesus' face
We see, adore, and love.

Now God Be with Us
Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Now, God, be with us, for the night is closing,
the light and darkness are of your disposing;
and 'neath his shadow here to rest we yield us,
for he will shield us.
2 Let holy thoughts be our when sleep o'ertakes us;
our earliest thoughts be yours when morning wakes us;
but your dear presence will not leave those lonely
who seek you only.
3 Father, your name be praised, your kingdom given,
your will be done on earth as 'tis in heaven;
keep us in life, forgive our sins,
deliver us now and ever. Topics: Morning and Evening; God--Presence of; Rest Used With Tune: INTEGER VITAE

O Lord and Master of Us All
Author: J. G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord and Master of us all,
whate’er our name or sign,
we own thy sway, we hear thy call,
we test our lives by Thine.
2 Thou judgest us; thy purity
doth all our lusts condemn;
the love that draws us nearer thee
is hot with wrath to them.
3 Yet weak and blinded though we be,
thou dost our service own;
we bring our varying gifts to thee,
and thou rejectest none.
4 Apart from thee all gain is loss,
all labor vainly done;
the solemn shadow of the cross
is better than the sun.
5 We faintly hear, we dimly see,
in diff'ring phrase we pray;
but, dim or clear, we own in thee
the Life, the Truth, the Way.

Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 16 Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er,
They strike me with surprise;
Not all the sands that spread the shore
To equal numbers rise.
17 My flesh with fear and wonder stands,
The product of thy skill,
And hourly blessings from thy hands
Thy thoughts of love reveal.
18 These on my heart by night I keep;
How kind, how dear to me!
O may the hour that ends my sleep
Still find my thoughts with thee! Topics: The Mercies of God innumerable
Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er
Contentment
Author: William Cowper Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:2 First Line: O Lord, how full of sweet content Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content
Our years of pilgrimage are spent!
Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.
2 To us remains nor place nor time:
Our country is in every clime:
We can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
3 While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with our God to guide our way,
'Tis equal joy to go or stay.
4 Could we be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none remote we call,
Secure of finding God in all. Topics: Calmness; Christians Graces; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Contentment Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

The Duteous Day Now Closes
Author: Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676); Robert Seymour Bridges (1844-1930) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closes,
each flower and tree reposes,
shade creeps o'er wild and wood:
let us, as night is falling,
on God our maker calling,
give thanks and bless the Giver good.
2 Now all the heavenly splendour
breaks forth in starlight tender
from myriad worlds unknown;
and we, this marvel seeing,
forget our selfish being
for joy of beauty not our own.
3 Though long our mortal blindness
has missed God's loving kindness
and plunged us into strife;
yet when life's day is over,
shall death's fair night discover
the fields of everlasting life. Topics: Evening; Creation; O Gracious Light Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK

How good your thoughts toward us, how great their sum!
We work with you, we go where you wilt lead us,
Until in all the earth your kingdom come.

make known on earth your healing love.
