O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #84 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 36:7 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 your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your 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 of us away;
we 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 now our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #557 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 36:9 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee:
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.

I yield my flickering torch to thee:
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee:
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

I dare not ask to fly from thee:
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Devotion; The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Death and Bereavement; Eternal Life; God Love of Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MARGARET

O Lord, thy mercy, my sure hope
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #P.XXXIX (1789) Scripture: Psalm 36 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thy mercy, my sure hope,
The highest orb of heav'n transcends,
Thy sacred truth's unmeasure'd scope
Beyond the spreading sky extends.
2 Thy justice like the hills remains;
Unfathom'd depths Thy judgments are;
Thy providence the world sustains,
The whole creation is thy care.
3 Since of thy goodness all partake,
With what assurance should the just
Thy shelt'ring wings their refuge make,
And saints to thy protection trust!
4 Such guests shall to thy courts be led,
To banquet on thy love's repast,
And drink, as from a fountain's head,
Of joys that shall forever last.
5 With thee the springs of life remain,
Thy presence is eternal day:
O let thy saints thy favour gain:
To upright hearts thy truth display. Topics: Instructive Psalms Languages: English
