Now may the God of power and grace

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 104 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Now may the God of power and grace Attend His people's humble cry! Jehovah hear when Israel prays, And bring deliverance from on high! 2 The Name of Jacob's God defends Better than shields or brazen walls; He from His sanctuary sends Succor and strength when Zion calls. 3 In His salvation is our hope, And in the Name of Israel's God, Our troops shall lift their banners up, Our navies spread their flags abroad. 4 Some trust in horses trained for war, And some of chariots make their boasts, Our surest expectations are From Thee, the Lord of heavenly hosts. 5 Now save us, Lord, from slavish fear; Now let our hope be firm and strong, Till Thy salvation shall appear, And joy and triumph raise the song.

Lord, Thou hast searched and seen me through

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 325 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast searched and seen me through; Thine eye commands, with piercing view, My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh, with all their powers. 2 Within Thy circling power I stand, On every side I find Thy hand: Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, I am surrounded still with God. 3 Could I so false, so faithless prove, To quit Thy service and Thy love, Where Lord, could I Thy presence shun, Or from Thy dreadful glory run? 4 The veil of night is no disguise, No screen from Thy all-searching eyes; Thy hand can seize Thy foes as soon Through midnight shades, as blazing noon. 5 O may these thoughts possess my breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there. Topics: God His Wisdom and Omniscience Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: WOOLMER'S

They Come, God's Messengers of Love

Author: Robert Campbell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. They come, God’s messengers of love, They come from realms of peace above, From homes of never fading light, From blissful mansions ever bright. 2. They come to watch around us here, To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear: Ye heavenly guides, speed not away, God willeth you with us to stay. 3. But chiefly at its journey’s end ’Tis yours the spirit to befriend, And whisper to the faithful heart, O Christian soul, in peace depart. 4. Blest Jesu, Thou whose groans and tears Have sanctified frail nature’s fears, To earth in bitter sorrow weighed, Thou didst not scorn Thine angel’s aid; 5. An angel guard to us supply, When on the bed of death we lie; And by Thine own almighty power O shield us in the last dread hour. 6. To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, From all above and all below, Let joyful praise unceasing flow.

He hears the heavenly mysteries there, which mortal tongue cannot declare. 3 The word's good seed abroad he flings; straightway a mighty harvest springs, and fruits of holy deeds supply God's everlasting granary. 4 The lamp his burning faith displays has filled the world with glorious rays; that darkness' realm may be o'erthrown, and Christ may reign, and reign alone.
