He who hath made his refuge God

Appears in 113 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He who hath made his refuge God, Shall find a most secure abode, Shall walk all day beneath his shade, And there at night shall rest his head. 2 He guides our feet, he guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day; He spreads the ev'ning veil, and keeps The silent hours while Nature sleeps. 3 Then will I say, My God, thy pow'r Shall be my fortress and my tow'r; I, who am form'd of feeble dust, Make thine almighty arm my trust. 4 Up to the hills I lift mine eyes, Th' eternal hills beyond the skies; Thence all her help my soul derives, There my Almighty Refuge lives. 5 He lives, the everlasting God, Who built the world, and spread the flood; He lives, and by his heav'nly care Preserves my life from ev'ry snare.

O 'tis a lovely thing to see

Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O 'tis a lovely thing to see A man of prudent heart, Whose thoughts, and lips, and life, agree To act a useful part. 2 When envy, strife and wars begin, In little angry souls, Mark how the sons of peace come in, And quench the kindling coals. 3 Their minds are humble, mild and meek, Nor let their anger rise; Nor passion moves their lips to speak, Nor pride exalts their eyes. 4 Their lives are prudence mix'd with love; Good works employ their day; They join the serpent with the dove, But cast the sting away.

Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known

Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known My rising up and lying down; My secret thoughts are known to thee, Known long before conceiv'd by me. 2 Thine eye my bed and paths surveys, My publick haunts and private ways; Thou know'st what 'tis my lips would vent, My yet unutter'd words' intent. 3 Surrounded by thy pow'r I stand; On ev'ry side I find thy hand. O skill, for human reach too high! Too dazzling bright for mortal eye! 4 Let me acknowledge, too, O God, That since this maze of life I trod, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The pow'r of numbers to recount: 5 Far sooner could I reckon o'er The sands upon the ocean's shore: Each morn, revising what I've done, I find th' account but new begun. 6 Search, try, O God, my thoughts and heart, If mischief lurks in any part; Correct me where I go astray, And guide me in thy perfect way.
