The Lord hath spoke, the mighty God

Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord hath spoke, the mighty God Hath sent His summons all abroad, From dawning light till day declines: The listening earth His voice hath heard, And He from Sion hath appear'd, Where beauty in perfection shines. 2 Our God shall come, and keep no more Misconstrued silence as before, But wasting flames before Him send; Around shall tempests fiercely rage, Whilst He does heaven and earth engage His just tribunal to attend.

The Lord himself, the mighty Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord Himself, the mighty Lord, Vouchsafes to be my guide; The Shepherd, by Whose constant care My wants are all supplied. 2 In tender grass He makes me feed, And gently there repose; Then leads me to cool shades, and where Refreshing water flows. 3 He does my wandering soul reclaim, And, to His endless praise, Instruct with humble zeal to walk In His most righteous ways. 4 I pass the gloomy vale of death, From fear and danger free; For there His aiding rod and staff Defend and comfort me. 5 Since God doth thus His wondrous love Through all my life extend, That life to Him I will devote, And in His temple spend.

The spacious firmament on high

Appears in 795 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator’s power display; And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty Hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And, nightly to the listening earth, Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound, Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reason’s ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine: "The Hand that made us is divine."

The winged herald of the day

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The wingéd herald of the day Proclaims the morn's approaching ray: So Christ the Lord renews His call, To endless life awakening all. 2 "Take up thy bed," to each he cries, Who sick, or wrapp'd in slumber, lies: "Be chaste, and, living soberly, Watch ye, for I the Lord am nigh." 3 With earnest cry, with tearful care, Call we the Lord to hear our prayer; While supplication, pure and deep, Forbids each chastened heart to sleep. 4 O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ,Thine only Son; Who, with the Holy ghost and Thee, Shall live and reign eternally.

There is a blesséd home

Appears in 193 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a blesséd home Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come, Nor tears of sorrow flow; Where faith is lost in sight, And patient hope is crown'd, And everlasting light Its glory throws around. 2 There is a land of peace, Good angels know it well: Glad songs that never cease Within its portals swell; Around its glorious throne Ten thousand saints adore Christ, with the Father One, And Spirit, evermore. 3 O joy all joys beyond, To see the Lamb Who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side; To give to Him the praise Of every triumph won, And sing through endless days The great things He hath done. 4 Look up, ye saints of God, Nor fear to tread below The path your Saviour trod Of daily toil and woe; Wait but a little while In uncomplaining love, His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above.

There is a fold whence none can stray

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fold whence none can stray, And pastures ever green, Where sultry sun, or stormy day, Or night, is never seen. 2 Far up the everlasting hills, In God's own light, it lies; His smile its vast dimension fills With joy that never dies. 3 One narrow vale, one darksome wave, Divides that land from tis; I have a Shepherd pledged to save, And bear me home to bliss. 4 Soon at His feet my soul will lie, In life's last struggling breath; But I shall only seem to die, I shall not taste of death. 5 Far from this guilty world, to be Exempt from toil and strife; To spend eternity with Thee,-- My Saviour, this is life!

Forty days and forty nights

Appears in 161 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights Thou wast fasting in the wild; Forty days and forty nights Tempted, and yet undefiled. 2 Shall not we Thy sorrow share, And from earthly joys abstain, Fasting with unceasing prayer, Glad with Thee to suffer pain? 3 And if Satan vexing sore, Flesh or spirit should assail, Thou, his Vanquisher before, Grant we may not faint or fail. 4 So shall we have peace divine; Holier gladness ours shall be; Round us, too, shall angels shine, Such as minister'd to Thee. 5 Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear, Ever constant by Thy side; That with Thee we may appear At th' eternal Eastertide.

Appears in 359 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea; Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee: Yet possessing Every blessing, If our God our Father be. 2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us; All our weakness Thou dost know; Thou didst tread this earth before us; Thou didst feel its keenest woe; Lone and dreary, Faint and weary, Through the desert Thou didst go. 3 Spirit of our God, descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy; Love with every passion blending, Pleasure that can never cloy: Thus provided, Pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy.
