The tender love a father has

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has For all his children dear, Such love the Lord bestows on them Who worship him in fear. 2 The Lord remembers we are dust, And all our frailty knows; Man's days are like the tender grass, And as the flower he grows. 3 The flower is withered by the wind That smites with blighting breath; So man is quickly swept away Before the blast of death. 4 Unchanging is the love of God, From age to age the same, Displayed to all who do his will And reverence his Name. 5 Those who his gracious cov'nant keep The Lord will ever bless; Their children's children shall rejoice To see his righteousness. Amen.

'Tis the Lord of all creation, Who this wondrous path hath trod; He is God from everlasting, And to everlasting God. 2 Who is this, a Man of Sorrows, Walking sadly life's hard way, Homeless, weary, sighing, weeping Over sin and Satan's sway? 'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour, Who above the starry sky Now for us a place prepareth, Where no tear can dim the eye. 3 Who is this? behold him shedding Drops of blood upon the ground! Who is this, despised, rejected, Mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces On his Church now poureth down; Who shall smite in holy vengeance All his foes beneath his throne. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying While the rude world scoffs and scorns, Numbered with the malefactors, Torn with nails, and crowned with thorns? 'Tis the God who ever liveth 'Mid the shining ones on high, In the glorious golden city, Reigning everlastingly. Amen.

Who is this that comes from Edom

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom, All his raiment stained with blood; To the slave proclaiming freedom; Bringing and bestowing good: Glorious in the garb he wears, Glorious in the spoils he bears? 2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious, Trav'ling onward in his might; 'Tis the Saviour, O how glorious To his people is the sight! Jesus now is strong to save, Mighty to redeem the slave. 3 Why that blood his raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of his foes there's none remaining, None the contest to maintain: Fall'n they are, no more to rise, All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor, reign for ever, Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall thy people, never Cease to sing what thou hast done: Thou hast fought thy people's foes; Thou wilt heal thy people's woes.

O Lord, be thou my helper true

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be thou my helper true, For just and godly men are few; The faithful who can find?

Though base men walk on ev'ry side, His saints are safe, whate'er betide, Protected by his Name. Amen.

Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; It well becomes the good man's voice To sing Jehovah's praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, Your gift of sweetest music bring, To him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word; And all the doings of the Lord In faithfulness are wrought. In justice and in judgment right The Lord doth ever take delight; With goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns hath made, And all the host of them arrayed His breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; He stores away the mighty deep In garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before him stand; For, lo, he spake and it was done, And all, his sovereign pow'r begun, Stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, For evermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blessed the people is whom he Has made his heritage to be, And chosen for his own.
