Send Forth, O God, Thy Light and Truth

Author: John Q. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #5996 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: John Q. Adams Lyrics: 1. Send forth, O God, Thy light and truth, And let them lead me still, Undaunted, in the paths of right, Up to Thy holy hill. Then to Thy altar will I spring, And in my God rejoice; And praise shall tune the trembling string, And gratitude my voice. 2. O why, my soul, art thou cast down? Within me why distressed? Thy hopes the God of grace shall crown; He yet shall make thee blessed. To Him, my never failing Friend, I bow, and kiss the rod; To Him shall thanks and praise ascend, My Savior and my God.

Why Should I Fear in Evil Days?

Author: John Quincy Adams, 1767-1848 Hymnal: CYBER #7674 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: John Quincy Adams, 1767-1848 First Line: Why should I fear in evil days Lyrics: 1. Why should I fear in evil days, With snares encompassed all around? What trust can transient treasures raise For them in riches who abound? His brother who from death can save? What wealth can ransom him from God? What mine of gold defraud the grave? What hoards but vanish at His nod? 2. To live forever is their dream; Their houses by their name they call; While, borne by time’s relentless stream, Around them wise and foolish fall; Their riches others must divide; They plant, but others reap the fruit; In honor man cannot abide, To death devoted, like the brute. 3. This is their folly, this their way; And yet in this their sons delight; Like sheep, of death the destined prey, The future scorn of the upright; The grave their beauty shall consume, Their dwellings never see them more; But God shall raise me from the tomb, And life for endless time restore. 4. What though thy foe in wealth increase, And fame and glory crown his head? Fear not, for all at death shall cease, Nor fame, nor glory, crown the dead: While prospering all around thee smiled, Yet to the grave shalt thou descend; The senseless pride of fortune’s child Shall share the brute creation’s end.

Hymn For the Twenty-Second Of December

Author: John Q. Adams, 1767-1848 Hymnal: CYBER #12411 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: John Q. Adams, 1767-1848 First Line: When o’er the billow-heaving deep Lyrics: 1 When o’er the billow-heaving deep, The fathers of our race, The precepts of their God to keep, Sought here their resting-place— That gracious God their path prepared, Preserved from every harm, And still for their protection bared His everlasting arm. 2 His breath, inspiring every gale, Impels them o’er the main; His guardian angels spread the sail, And tempests howl in vain. For them old ocean’s rocks are smoothed; December’s face grows mild; To vernal airs her blasts are soothed, And all their rage beguiled. 3 When Famine rolls her haggard eyes, His ever-bounteous hand Abundance from the sea supplies, And treasures from the sand. Nor yet His tender mercies cease; His overruling plan Inclines to gentleness and peace The heart of savage man. 4 And can our stony bosoms be To all these wonders blind? Nor swell with thankfulness to Thee, O Parent of mankind? All-gracious God, inflame our zeal; Dispense one blessing more; Grant us Thy boundless love to feel, Thy goodness to adore.

As shadows lengthen and the night grows cold, Not seeing how life’s pages will unfold, Give us Your peace as, yielding to Your will, We trust the Author loves and keeps us still. 2. One thing we pray, when evening round us falls, Show us the place on memory’s darkened walls, As dimming eye and failing flesh grow weak, Show us where pictures of Your love still speak, 3. That we may tell to generations new, Tell of a faithfulness forever true, Tell of a power that keeps us to the end, Tell of our God, protector, guide and friend. 4. Then, when our task is done and comes the wing Of death’s bright angel, teach us how to sing, With soaring confidence to mount on high, Flying to golden streets beyond the sky.
