Amidst a world of hopes and fears

Hymnal: BW1870 #185 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Amidst a world of hopes and fears, A world of cares, and toils, and tears, Where foes alarm and dangers threat, And pleasures kill, and glories cheat: 2 Send down, O Lord, a heavenly ray, To guide me in the doubtful way; And o'er me hold Thy shield of power, To guard me in the dang'rous hour. 3 May never pleasure, wealth, or pride, Allure my wand'ring soul aside; But through this maze of mortal ill, Safe lead me to Thy heavenly hill. 4 There glories shine, and pleasures roll, That charm, delight, transport the soul, And ev'ry longing wish shall be Possess'd of boundless bliss in Thee.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Hymnal: BW1870 #193 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, Form'd thee for His own abode: On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint while such a river Ever flows thy thirst t'assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear! For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord in near: Thus deriving from their banner: Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray.

Though earthquake shocks are threat’ning her, And tempests are abroad. 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands.
