God Our Help and Hope

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,234 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 First Line: O God, our help in ages past Lyrics: 1 O 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 defenxe 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 troubles last, And our eternal home.

'Tis by Thy Strength the Mountains Stand

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 137 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. ’Tis by Thy strength the mountains stand, God of eternal power; The sea grows calm at Thy command, And tempests cease to roar. 2. Thy morning light and evening shade Successive comforts bring; Thy plenteous fruits make harvest glad, Thy flowers adorn the spring. 3. Seasons and times, and moons and hours, Heav’n, earth, and air are Thine; When clouds distill in fruitful showers, The Author is divine. 4. Those wandering cisterns in the sky, Borne by the winds around, With watery treasures well supply The furrows of the ground. 5. The thirsty ridges drink their fill, And ranks of corn appear; Thy ways abound with blessing still, Thy goodness crowns the year.

The Lord Unto My Lord Hath Said

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The Lord unto my Lord hath said, "Sit Thou, in glory sit, Till I Thine enemies have made To bow beneath Thy feet." 2 Jesu, my Lord, mighty to save, What can my hopes withstand, When Thee my advocate I have Enthroned at God’s right hand? 3 I fear nor earth, nor sin, nor hell, And death hath lost his sting, In vain a while Thy foes rebel, Thou, Jesus, art my king. 4 Nature is subject to Thy word, All power to Thee is given, The uncontrolled almighty Lord Of hell, and earth and Heaven. 5 And shall my sins Thy will oppose? Jesu, Thy right maintain; O let not Thine usurping foes In me Thy servant reign. 6 Master, on Thee my soul is stayed, Thou wilt not quit Thy claim; Thou only hast my ransom paid, And only Thine I am. 7 Come, then, and claim me for Thine own: Savior, Thy right assert; Come, gracious Lord, set up Thy throne, And reign within my heart. 8 The day of Thy great power I feel, And pant for liberty; I loathe myself, deny my will, And give up all for Thee. 9 I hate my sins, no longer mine, For I renounce them, too; My weakness with Thy strength I join, Thy strength shall all subdue. 10 Our common foes, who Thee defied And would not own Thy sway, Envy and sloth, desire and pride, And hate and anger slay. 11 Thy enemies destroy in mine, Pronounce their speedy doom; In vengeance speak, in brightness shine, The man of sin consume. 12 So shall I bless Thy pleading sway, And sitting at Thy feet Thy laws with all my heart obey, With all my soul submit. 13 So shall I do Thy will below, As angels do above, The virtue of Thy passion show, The triumphs of Thy love. 14 Thy love the conquest more than gains, To all I shall proclaim; Jesus, the King, the Conqueror reigns: Bow down to Jesu’s name. 15 To Thee shall earth and hell submit, And every foe shall fall, Till death expires beneath Thy feet, And God is all in all!

O God, To Our Repeated Cries

Author: John Barnard Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O God, to our repeated cries, No longer silence keep; Hold not Thy peace, as unconcerned, Nor let Thy vengeance sleep. 2 For lo, Thine enemies, O God, Have a fierce tumult made; And those, that impiously Thee hate, In pride lift up the head. 3 Against Thy people they consult, And all their craft employ; Their chief design’s Thy hidden ones Entirely to destroy. 4 "Come," said they, "let us wholly root The nation from the ground; That Israel’s hated name, no more Be in remembrance found." 6 Together they, with one consent, In counsel, have combined; These differing nations, close in league, Against Thee, Lord, are joined. 7 There’s Esau’s sons, who dwell in tents, Ishmael’s rejected line, Moab, of incest eldest brood, With Hagar’s Arabs join. 8 Strong Gebal, Ammon, Moab’s kin, With Amalek conspire; The lords of Palestine’s sea coast, And with them wealthy Tyre. 9 Proud Assur’s powerful troops, the league, And common cause, espouse; These prove the strongest arm of strength, To Lot’s apostate house. 10 But let such vengeance on them fall, As Midian overtook; As Sisera, and Jabin, felt, At Kison’s fatal brook. 11 Where all their mighty numerous host, Were put to rout, and slain; Who left their carcasses for dung, On Endor’s fertile plain. 12 As Zeeb, and Oreb, make their chiefs, Like vengeance seize them all: As Zebah, and Zalmunna, fell. May all their princes fall. 13 Who boasting, said, "Let’s seize for ours Each house of God we find." My God, to ruin whirl them round. As chaff before the wind. 14 As raging fire consumes the woods, With flames the mountains blaze. So with Thy tempest them pursue, And with Thy storm amaze. 15 Their faces fill with shame, that they May seek Jehovah’s name. Or them confound, and terrify, Until they die in shame. 16 The nations then shall know that Thou, To whom alone pertains The name Jehovah, art Most High, O’er earth’s extended plains.

Sin Has Undone Our Wretched Race

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Sin has undone our wretched race, But Jesus has restored And brought the sinner face to face With his forgiving Lord. 2 This we repeat from year to year, And press upon our youth; Lord, give them an attentive ear, Lord, save them by Thy truth. 3 Blessings upon the rising race! Make this a happy hour, According to Thy richest grace, And Thine almighty power. 4 We feel for your unhappy state, (May you regard it too) And would awhile ourselves forget, To pour out prayer for you. 5 We see, though you perceive it not, Th’approaching, awful doom; O tremble at the solemn thought, And flee the wrath to come! 6 Dear Savior, let this new-born year Spread an alarm abroad ; And cry, in every careless ear, "Prepare to meet thy God!"

When Paul Was Parted From His Friends

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When Paul was parted from his friends It was a weeping day; But Jesus made them all amends, And wiped their tears away. 2 Ere long they met again, with joy, Secure no more to part, Where praises every tongue employ, And pleasure fills each heart. 3 Thus all the preachers of His grace Their children soon shall meet; Together see their Savior’s face, And worship at His feet. 4 But they who heard the Word in vain, Though oft, and plainly, warned; Will tremble, when they meet again The ministers they scorned. 5 On your own heads your blood will fall If any perish here; The preachers, who have told you all, Shall stand approved, and clear. 6 Yet, Lord, to save themselves alone, Is not their utmost view; Oh hear their prayer, Thy message own, And save their hearers, too.
