O God, Our Help In Ages Past

Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,241 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our 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 Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in Thy 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 its sons away; They 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 Thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home. Topics: New Year Used With Tune: [O God, our help in ages past]

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 1,681 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 Can we whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Can we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till each remotest nation Has learn'd Messiah's name. 3 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransom'd nature The lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign.

Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless light partake. 5 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; Disperse my sins, as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will; And with Thyself my spirit fill. 6 Direct, control, suggest this day, All I design, or do, or say; That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite.

Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 525 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noon-tide heat, And the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus, Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffer'd there for me. And from my smitten heart with tears, These wonders I confess, The wonder of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross.

Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine of earth and Thine forever. 4 Make it, Head, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it; Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heav'n, O lead it: Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Grafted firm in Thee forever. 5 Now upon Thy heart it lies, What our hearts so dearly treasure; Heav'nward lead our burden'd sighs, Pour Thy blessing without measure; Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of heaven.
