The saints of God! their conflict past
Author: William Dalrymple Maclagan, 1826 - 1910 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The saints of God! their conflict past,
And life's long battle won at last,
No more they need the shield or sword,
They cast them down before the Lord:
O happy saints, for ever blest,
At Jesus' feet how safe your rest!
2 The saints of God! their wanderings done,
No more their weary course they run,
No more they faint, no more they fall,
No foes oppress, no fears appall:
O happy saints, for ever blest,
In that dear home how sweet your rest!
3 The saints of God! life's voyage o'er,
Safe landed on that blissful shore,
No stormy tempests now they dread,
No roaring billows lift their head:
O happy saints, for ever blest,
In that calm haven of your rest! A-men.
4 The saints of God their vigil keep,
While yet their mortal bodies sleep,
Till from the dust they too shall rise
And soar triumphant to the skies:
O happy saints, rejoice and sing;
He quickly comes, your Lord and King!
5 O God of saints! to thee we cry;
O Saviour! plead for us on high;
O Holy Ghost! our guide and friend,
Grant us thy grace till life shall end;
That with all saints our rest may be
In that bright Paradise with thee!

O God! How Often Hath Thine Ear
Author: William M. Bunting Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God! how often hath Thine ear
To me in willing mercy bowed!
While worshipping Thine altar near,
Lowly I wept, and strongly vowed;
But ah! the feebleness of man!
Have I not vowed and wept in vain?
2. Return, O Lord of hosts, return!
Behold Thy servant in distress;
My faithlessness again I mourn,
Again forgive my faithlessness;
And to Thine arms my spirit take
And bless me for the Savior’s sake.
3. This day the covenant I sign,
The bond of sure and promised peace,
Nor can I doubt its power divine,
Since sealed with Jesus’ blood it is;
That blood I take, that blood alone,
And make the covenant peace mine own.
4. But, that my faith no more may know
Or change, or interval, or end,
Help me in all Thy paths to go,
And now, as e’er, my voice attend,
And gladden me with answers mild,
And dwell, O Father, with Thy child! Used With Tune: NYBERG
O God! How Often Hath Thine Ear
