Thou wast, O God, and Thou wast blest
Author: John Mason Hymnal: Church Book #81 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 Thou wast, O God, and Thou wast blest
Before the world begun;
Of Thine Eternity possest
Before Time's glass did run.
Thou needesst none Thy praise to sing,
As if Thy joy could fade:
Couldst Thou have needed anything,
Thou couldst have nothing made.
2 Great and good God, it pleaséd Thee
Thy Godhead to declare;
And what Thy goodness did decree,
Thy greatness did prepare:
Thou spak'st, and heaven and earth appeared,
And answered to Thy call;
As if their Maker's voice they heard,
Which is the creature's all.
3 To whom, Lord should I sing, but Thee,
The Maker of my tongue?
Lo! other lords would seize on me,
But I to Thee belong.
As waters haste unto their sea,
And earth unto its earth,
So let my soul return to Thee,
From whom it had its birth.
4 But ah! I'm fallen on the night,
And cannot come to Thee:
Yet speak the word, "Let there be Light!"
It shall enlighten me.
And let Thy Word, most mighty Lord,
Thy fallen creature raise;
O make me o'er again, and I
Shall sing my Maker's praise. Topics: Creation Languages: English Tune Title: BRUNSWICK
Thou wast, O God, and Thou wast blest
And let this feeble body fail
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #491 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail,
And let it droop or die;
My soul shall quit the mournful vale
And soar to worlds on high:
Shall join the disembodied saints,
And find its long-sought Rest,
That only bliss for which it pants,
In the Redeemer's breast.
2 In hope of that immortal crown,
I now the Cross sustain,
And gladly wander up and down,
And smile at toil and pain:
I suffer on my three-score years
Till my Deliverer come,
And wipe away His servant's tears,
And take His exile home.
3 O what hath Jesus bought for me!
Before my ravished eyes
Rivers of life divine I see,
And trees of paradise!
I see a world of spirits bright,
Who reap the pleasures there;
They all are clothed in robes of white,
And conquering palms they bear.
4 O what are all my sufferings here,
If, Lord, Thou count me meet,
With that enraptured host to appear,
And worship at Thy feet!
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away;
But let me find them all again
In that eternal day. Topics: The Cross and Comfort In General Need; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: BRUNSWICK
And let this feeble body fail
The morning purples all the sky

The morning purples all the sky
This is the day the Lord hath made
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudamus #18 (1887) Hymnal Title: Laudamus Languages: English Tune Title: BIRR
This is the day the Lord hath made
Dismiss me not thy service, Lord

Dismiss me not thy service, Lord
Dismiss Me Not Thy Service, Lord
Author: Thomas T. Lynch Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1241 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Dismiss me not Thy service, Lord,
But train me for Thy will;
For even I, in fields so broad,
Some duties may fulfill;
And I will ask for no reward,
Except to serve Thee still.
2. How many serve, how many more
May to the service come;
To tend the vines, the grapes to store,
Thou dost appoint for some;
Thou hast Thy young men at the war,
Thy little ones at home.
3. All works are good, and each is best
As most it pleases Thee;
Each worker pleases, when the rest
He serves in charity;
And neither man nor work unblest
Wilt Thou permit to be.
4. Our Master all the work hath done
He asks of us today;
Sharing his service, every one
Share too His Sonship may:
Lord, I would serve and be a son;
Dismiss me not, I pray. Languages: English Tune Title: BRUNSWICK
Dismiss Me Not Thy Service, Lord
