Great God! we sing that mighty hand

Appears in 492 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty hand, By which supported still we stand: The opening year thy mercy shows. Thy mercy crowns it till it close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still we are guarded by our God, By thine incessant bounty fed, By thine unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to thy guardian care submit, And peaceful leave before thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted, or depress'd, Thou art our joy, and thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Ador'd thro' all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt these songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues, Our helper God, in whom we trust, In better worlds, our souls shall boast.

Appears in 322 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants bless'd, O Lord! How sure is their defence! 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 death, Thy goodness we'll adore, We praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more Topics: Creation, Preservation, and temporal Blessings God the Guide of his Servants

How blest are they, how truly wise

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blest are they, how truly wise, Who learn and keep the sacred road! Happy the men whom Heav'n employs To turn rebellious hearts to God! 2 While these declare the written word And prove their doctrine from the Lord, To him, in them respect we'll pay And bless the doctrines they convey. 3 Let them instruct we would be wise; Their just reproofs we'll not despise; But meet with love their faithful cares, And joy with them our fervent prayers. 4 May peace from heav'n upon them rest, And be their labours greatly blest, To save from sin, sad hearts relieve— And may they share the joys they give.

Lord, we adore thy wondrous name

Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, we adore thy wond'rous name, And make that name our trust, Which rais'd at first this curious frame, From mean and lifeless dust. 2 A while these frail machines endure, The fabrick of a day; Then know their vital pow'rs no more, But moulder back to clay. 3 Yet, Lord! whate'er is felt or fear'd, This thought is our repose — That he, by whom this frame is rear'd, Its various weakness knows. 4 Thou view'st us with a pitying eye, Whilar struggling with our load; In pains and dangers thou art nigh, Our Father, and our God. 5 Gently supported by thy love, We tend to realms of peace; Where ev'ry pain shall far remove, And ev'ry frailty cease.

Beyond expression blest is he

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beyond expression blest is he Whose num'rous sins are cover'd o'er; The humble soul, to whom the Lord Imputes his guilty deeds no more. 2 He mourns his sinful follies past, And keeps his heart with constant care; His lips and life, without deceit, Shall prove his penitence sincere. 3 The man, who hides his conscious guilt, Shall pine beneath a secret wound; But he, who owns and leaves his faults, With peace and pardon shall be crown'd. 4 The Lord hath built a throne of grace, Free to dispense his mercies there, That sinners may approach his face, And hope and love, as well as fear.
