Every morning mercies new

Author: Greville Phillimore Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Every morning mercies new Fall as fresh as morning dew; Every morning let us pay Tribute with the early day: For thy mercies, Lord, are sure; Thy compassion doth endure. 2 Still the greatness of thy love Daily doth our sins remove; Daily, far as east from west, Lifts the burden from the breast; Gives unbought to those who pray Strength to stand in evil day. 3 Let our pray'rs each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail; And, as we confess the sin And the tempter's pow'r within, Every morning, for the strife, Feed us with the Bread of Life. 4 As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendor burns, Teach us still to turn to thee, Ever-blessed Trinity, With our hands our hearts to raise, In unfailing prayer and praise. Amen. Topics: Bread of Life; The Church The Lord's Day Morning; God Faithfuless of; Grace Refreshing Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 Used With Tune: EVERY MORNING

Am I a soldier of the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,003 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A foll'wer of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign: Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy Word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They view the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thine armies shine In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be thine.

Thou art my hiding place, O Lord

Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 112 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art my hiding place, O Lord, In thee I put my trust; Encouraged by thy holy Word, A feeble child of dust: I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea; And 'tis enough my Saviour died, My Saviour died for me. 2 When storms of fierce temptation beat, And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat, My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words My spirit flies to thee: Joy to my heart the thought affords, My Saviour died for me. 3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne, When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and anguish torn, A body racked with pain, Ah! what could give the suff'rer rest, Bid ev'ry murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast That Jesus died for me? 4 And when thine awful voice commands This body to decay, And life, in its last ling'ring sands, Is ebbing fast away, Then though it be in accents weak, And faint and tremblingly, O give me strength in death to speak, "My Saviour died for me."
