While thee I seek, protecting Power!

Author: Williams Hymnal: VoP1873 #133 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 While thee I seek, protecting Power! Be my vain wishes stilled; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled. 2 Thy love the power of thought bestowed; To thee my thoughts would soar; Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed-- That mercy I adore! 3 In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because conferred by thee. 4 In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer. 5 When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear, That heart shall rest on thee!

To him who is the Life of life

Author: Alice Cary Hymnal: VoP1873 #134 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 To him who is the Life of life, My soul its vows would pay; He leads the flowery seasons on, And gives the storm its way. 2 The winds run backward to their caves At his divine command, And the great deep he holds within The hollow of his hand. 3 He clothes the grass, he makes the rose To wear her good attire; The moon he gives her patient grace, And all the stars their fire. 4 He hears the hungry raven's cry, And sends her young their food; And through our evil intimates His purposes of good. 5 He stretches out the north; he binds The tempest in his care; The mountains can not strike their roots So deep he is not there. 6 Hid in the garment of his works, We feel his presence still With us, and through us fashioning The mystery of his will.

Thy way is in the sea

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: VoP1873 #135 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy way is in the sea; Thy paths we can not trace; Nor solve, O Lord, the mystery Of thy unbounded grace. 2 Here the dark veils of sense Our captive souls surround; Mysterious deeps of providence Our wandering thoughts confound. 3 As through a glass we see The wonders of thy love; How little do we know of thee, Or of the joys above!

With songs and honors sounding loud

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #136 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heavens he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends his showers of blessings down, To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 4 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 5 He sends his word and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 6 When from his dreadful stores on high He pours the sounding hail, The wretch that dares his God defy, Shall find his courage fail. 7 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honors sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord.

O LORD! how happy should we be

Author: J. Austice Hymnal: VoP1873 #137 (1873) Lyrics: 1 O LORD! how happy should we be, If we could cast our care on Thee-- If we from self could rest; And feel at heart that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best. 2 How far from this our daily life! Ever disturbed by anxious strife, By sudden, wild alarms; Oh could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall On thy Almighty arms! 3 Could we but kneel, and cast our load, E'en while we pray, upon our God, Then rise with lightened cheer-- Sure that the Father, who is nigh To still the famished raven's cry, Will hear, in that we fear! 4 We can not trust him as we should, So chafes fall'n nature's restless mood To cast its peace away; Yet birds and flowerets round us preach, All, all the present evil teach, Sufficient for the day. 5 Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours Such lesson learn from birds and flowers; Make them from self to cease; Leave all things to a Father's will, And taste, before him lying still, E'en in affliction, peace.

Behold the Man! how glorious he!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #138 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold the Man! how glorious he! Before his foes he stands unmoved, And, without wrong or blasphemy, He claims equality with God. 2 Behold the Man! by all condemned, Assaulted by a host of foes; His person and his claims contemned, A Man of sufferings and of woes. 3 Behold the Man! he stands alone, His foes are ready to devour; Not one of all his friends will own Their Master in this trying hour. 4 Behold the Man! though scorned below, He bears the greatest name above; The angels at his footstool bow, And all his royal claims approve.

O CHRIST! our King, Creator, Lord!

Author: Gregory Hymnal: VoP1873 #139 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O CHRIST! our King, Creator, Lord! Saviour of all who trust thy word! To them that seek thee, ever near, Now to our praises bend thine ear. 2 In thy dear cross a grace is found-- It flows from every streaming wound-- Whose power our inbred sin controls, Breaks the firm bond and frees our souls! 3 Thou didst create the stars of night: Yet thou hast veiled in flesh thy light-- Hast deigned a mortal form to wear, A mortals painful lot to bear. 4 When thou didst hang upon the tree, The quaking earth acknowledged thee; When thou didst there yield up thy breath, The world grew dark as shades of death. 5 Now in the Father's glory high, Great Conqueror, never more to die, Us by thy mighty power defend, And reign through ages without end!

Brightness of the Father's glory

Author: Robinson Hymnal: VoP1873 #140 (1873) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Brightness of the Father's glory, Shall thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue, such guilty silence; Sing the Lord, who came to die. 2 Did the angels sing thy coming? Did the shepherds learn their lays? Shame would cover me, ungrateful, Should my tongue refuse to praise. 3 From the highest throne in glory To the cross of deepest woe, All to ransom guilty captives! Flow, my praise, forever flow. 4 Re-ascend, immortal Saviour; Leave thy footstool, take thy throne: Thence return, and reign forever; Be the kingdom all thine own.

THEE we adore, eternal Word!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #141 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THEE we adore, eternal Word! The Father's equal Son; By heaven's obedient hosts adored Ere time its course begun. 2 The first creation has displayed Thine energy divine; For not a single thing was made By other hands than thine. 3 But ransomed sinners, with delight, Sublimer facts survey,-- The all-creating Word united Himself to dust and clay. 4 Creation's Author now assumes A creature's humble form; A man of grief and woe becomes-- Is trod on like a worm. 5 The Lord of glory bears the same To vile transgressors due; Justice the Prince of life condemns To die in anguish too. 6 God over all, forever blest, The righteous curse endures; And thus, to souls with sin distressed, Eternal bliss insures.

Bright king of glory, dreadful God!

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #142 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Bright king of glory, dreadful God! Our spirits bow before thy feet: To thee we lift an humble thought, And worship at thine awful seat. 2 A thousand seraphs strong and bright Stand round the glorious Deity; But who, among those sons of light, Pretends comparison with thee? 3 Yet there is One of human frame, Jesus, arrayed in flesh and blood, Thinks it no robbery to claim A full equality with God. 4 Then let the name of Christ our King With equal honors be adored; His praise let every angel sing, And all the nations own the Lord.
