O Thou in Whose Presence
Author: Joseph Swain (1761-1796) Meter: 11.8.11.8 Appears in 496 hymnals First Line: O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight,
On whom in affliction I call,
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all!
2 His voice, as the sound of the dulcimer sweet,
Is heard through the shadows of death;
The cedars of Lebanon bow at His feet,
The air is perfumed with His breath.
3 His lips, as a fountain of righteousness flow,
To water the gardens of grace;
From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know,
And bask in the smiles of His face.
4 He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for His word;
He speaks, and eternity, filled with His voice,
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise Scripture: Song of Solomon 7:10 Used With Tune: BELOVED

Thy precepts holy, and slighted Thy word;
Bid not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace, O most merciful Lord.
3 God the all righteousness One! man hath defied Thee;
Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee;
Prosper the right, O most merciful Lord.

For Thy deliverance from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean,

I Sing the Mighty Power of God
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 471 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God,
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God’s command,
And all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of the Lord,
Who filled the earth with food,
Who formed the creatures thru the Word,
And then pronounced them good.
Lord, how thy wonders are displayed,
Where’er I turn my eye,
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!
3 There’s not a plant or flower below,
But makes Thy glories known,
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from Thy throne;
Creatures that borrow life from thee
Are subject to Thy care;
There’s not a place where we can flee
But God is present there. Topics: God the Father Majesty and Power of God Scripture: Genesis 1 Used With Tune: VARINA

Love Divine
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,863 hymnals First Line: Love divine, all loves excelling Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down;
fix in us thy humble dwelling;
all thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation;
enter every trembling heart.
2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
into every troubled breast!
Let us all in thee inherit;
let us find the promised rest.
Take away our bent to sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning,
set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty to deliver,
let us all thy grace receive;
suddenly return and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray and praise thee without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
4 Finish, then, thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be.
Let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee;
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise. Topics: Jesus Christ Love of Christ for Us Used With Tune: BEECHER

The Church Has One FOundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone (1839-1900) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 859 hymnals First Line: The church has one foundation, 'Tis Jesus Christ her Lord Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the Word.
From heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o’er all the earth;
her charter of salvation,
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
we see her sore oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 ‘Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till, with the vision glorious,
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest. Topics: Christian Church Community in Christ Used With Tune: AURELIA

Pointing the lost to Jesus, the Way. [Refrain] Topics: Christian Church Mission of the Church Used With Tune: [Seeking the lost — yes, kindly entreating]

Work, for the Night Is Coming
Author: Mrs. Anna L. Coghill (1836-1907) alt. Meter: 7.6.7.5 D Appears in 1,168 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Work for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling;
Work ‘mid springing flow’rs.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work for the night is coming,
When man’s work is done.
2 Work for the night is coming,
Work thro’ the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is dark’ning,
When man’s work is o’er. Topics: Christian Church Mission of the Church Scripture: John 9:4 Used With Tune: WORK SONG
