Almighty God, Thy Word is Cast

Author: John Cawood, 1775-1852 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy Word is cast Like seed into the ground; Now let the dew of heaven descend And righteous fruits abound. 2 Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove; But give it root in every heart, To bring forth fruits of love. 3 Let not the world's deceitful cares The rising plant destroy, But let it yield a hundred fold The fruits of peace and joy. 4 Oft as the precious seed is sown, Thy quickening grace bestow, That all whose souls the truth receive, Its saving power may know.

Behold the morning star! 3 Look up, ye drooping hearts, to-day! The King is very near; Oh, cast your griefs and fears away, For lo, your Help is here! For lo, your Help is here! 4 Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes on in might; He loved us in the ages past, When we lay wrapt in night, When we lay wrapt in night. 5 Now fear and wrath to joy give place, Now are our sorrows o'er, Since God hath made us in His grace His children evermore, His children evermore. 6 Oh, rich the gifts Thou bringest us! Thyself made poor and weak; Oh, love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek! Can foes and sinners seek! 7 For this we raise a gladsome voice On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne, Before Thy glorious throne. Amen.

O Fount of Truth and Mercy

Author: Per Olof Nyström, 1764-1830 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Fount of truth and mercy, Thy promise cannot fail; What Thou hast said must ever, In heaven and earth prevail; "Call upon Me in trouble, And I will help afford." Yea, to my latest moment, I'll call upon Thee, Lord. 2 What comfort in affliction To rest upon Thy grace, And in Thy wise direction My fainting heart to place! When thou, O Lord, didst teach me In Thine own Name to pray, Thou to my hope affordedst A refuge and a stay. 3 The yearnings of my bosom Thou hearest, Lord, I know; What to my weal pertaineth I know thou wilt bestow. In times of deepest anguish Thy helping hand is near; And on thy loving bosom My sorrows Thou wilt bear. 4 And to this blest assurance I'll cling for evermore; And never shall I weary A Father to implore. Depart, despair and anguish That oft my soul oppress; I'll cling unto my Saviour Till He my soul shall bless. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber, 1782-1825 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 922 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all! 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation; Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: MORNING STAR
