O blest the house, whate'er befall

Author: C.C.L von Pfeil Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O blest the house, whate'er befall, Where Jesus Christ is all in all; Yea, if He were not dwelling there, How dark and poor and void it were! 2 O blest that house where faith ye find, And all within have set their mind To trust their God and serve Him still, And do, in all, His holy will. 3 O blest the parents who give heed Unto their children's foremost need, And weary not of care or cost; To them and heaven shall none be lost. 4 Blest such a house, it prospers well, In peace and joy the parents dwell, And in their children's lot is shown How richly God can bless His own. 5 Then here will I and mine to-day A solemn covenant make and say: Though all the world forsake Thy word, I and my house will serve the Lord.

In love still faithful to the end

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In love still faithful to the end, The Lord approved Himself our Friend, And granted in His last bequest, That which through faith gives peace and rest. 2 The night in which He was betrayed, He blessed the bread and cup, and said, Eat, drink, and named the given good: 'This is My Body and My Blood.' 3 Israel's Paschal-feast had long Kept waiting hope in Israel strong, The Lamb of God now gave, instead, Himself as heavenly drink and bread. 4 Keep ye this feast confessing Me, Whose death alone could make you free, Your souls and bodies, dearly bought, Yield not to sin: forget Me not! 5 O may we ne'er unworthy prove Of Jesus' all-enduring love! Nor doubt the Master's work and Word, And thus reject Him as the Lord. 6 His body, once as ransom given, Is proffered her as pledge of heaven; His blood, shed for us on the tree, Here cleanses from iniquity. 7 Lord help our faith to grasp the Word, That we in grace may near Thy board; And here discern what Thou dost give, Partake of life and ever live!

A holy state is wedded life

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A holy state is wedded life And blest, where God joins man and wife: A type of Jesus and His Bride, Beloved and honored at His side. 2 Where manly worth and gentle grace In godliness keep step apace, There wedded love grows never stale, Nor heaven's blessings ever fail. 3 Where by the Word the Lord is Guest, And all through faith and prayer is blest, There with God's grace will all be filled, And God Himself that house will build. 4 The skillful hand and stronger arm, Still plied with zeal and ardor warm, With watchful eye and frugal care, Full soon a competence prepare. 5 This chaste estate of Paradise, Is left to man below the skies; Prolific harbinger of good, Perennial fount of brotherhood: 6 From this all stations emanate, The Home the Church, and Powers of State; Blest nursery of virtuous worth, Be thou held sacred still on earth!

Great is our God, and merciful

Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great is God, and merciful: His ev'ry work His power displays; The earth is of His goodness full; The seasons celebrate His praise. 2 O bow ye lowly at His feet, And come into His courts with fear: Our God is good, as He is great, And with His goodness crowns the year. 3 The seasons in their turn display His wisdom and His power divine; The all confess His sov'reign sway, And in them does His goodness shine. 4 When in the summer's heat we faint, Our Shepherd and our God is near: He never lets His creatures want, But with His goodness crowns the year. 5 He sends the plenteous shower from heaven: He bids the earth produce us food: By Him all happiness is given, And all His works declare Him good.
