Begin, my soul, some heavenly theme

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #73 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Begin, my soul, some heavenly theme, Awake, my voice, and sing The mighty works, or mightier name, Of our eternal King. 2 Tell of his wondrous faithfulness, And sound his power abroad, Sing the sweet promise of his grace, And the performing God. 3 Proclaim salvation from the Lord, For wretched, dying men: His hand hath writ the sacred word With an immortal pen. 4 Engraved as in eternal brass The mighty promise shines; Nor can the powers of darkness 'rase Those everlasting lines. 5 His every word of grace is strong, As that which built the skies; The voice that rolls the stars along, Speaks all the promises. 6 Now shall my fainting heart rejoice, To know thy favor sure; I trust the all-creating voice, And faith desires no more.

God is our refuge and defense In trouble our unfailing aid

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: VoP1873 #74 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 GOD is our refuge and defense, In trouble our unfailing aid; Secure in his omnipotence, What does can make our souls afraid? 2 There is a river, pure and bright, Whose streams make glad the heavenly plains; There, in eternity of light, The city of our God remains. 3 Not on a seraph's wing of fire-- But on the mightier wings of prayer, We reach that home of pure desire, And feel his cloudless presence there. 4 But soon, how soon! our spirits droop, Unwont the air of heaven to breathe; Yet God, in very deed, will stoop, And dwell himself with men beneath. 5 Come to thy living temples, then; As in the ancient times appear; Let earth be Paradise again, And man, O God, thine image here!

When forth from Egypt's trembling strand

Author: G. Burgess Hymnal: VoP1873 #75 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When forth from Egypt's trembling strand The tribes of Israel sped, And Jacob in the stranger's land Departing banners spread;-- 2 The sea beheld, and, struck with dread, Rolled all its billows back; And Jordan, through his deepest bed, Revealed their destined track. 3 What ailed thee, O thou mighty sea, And rolled thy waves in dread? What bade thy tide, O Jordan, flee, And bare its deepest bed? 4 O earth, before the Lord, the God Of Jacob, trembling still; Who makes the waste a watered sod, The flint of gushing rill.

How are thy servants blest, O Lord!

Author: Addison Hymnal: VoP1873 #77 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defense! Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass unhurt, And breathe in tainted air. 3 When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will; The sea that roars at thy command, At thy command is still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we'll adore; We'll praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 6 Our life, while thou preservest that life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And death, when death shall be out lot, Shall join our souls to thee.

Can truth divine fulfillment fail?

Author: T. H. Stockton Hymnal: VoP1873 #79 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Can truth divine fulfillment fail? Sooner shall star-crowned nature die! Truth is the very breath of God-- Part of his own eternity. 2 Earth's every pulse may cease to flow, And every voice be heard no more; The forest crumble on the mount-- The sea corrupt upon the shore;-- 3 The moon's supply of light expire, The sun itself grow dense with gloom, And fairer systems, sphered afar, Dissolving, own the common doom. 4 But long as stands Jehovah's throne, Long as his being shall endure, So long the truth his lips proclaim Remains inviolably sure.

God, in the high and holy place
