Before Thee, Lord, a People Waits
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before Thee, Lord, a people waits
To praise Thy Name in Zion's gates,
To Thee shall vows be paid;
Thou Hearer of the suppliant's prayer,
To Thee in need shall all repair
To seek Thy gracious aid.
2 How great my trespasses appear;
But Thou from guilt my soul wilt clear,
And my transgressions hide.
How blest Thy chosen, who by grace
Are brought within Thy dwelling-place
That they may there abide.
3 The goodness of Thy house, O Lord,
The joys Thy holy courts afford,
Our souls shall satisfy;
By deeds of might, in justice wrought,
The Lord will grant us what we sought,
Our Savior, God Most High.
4 On Thy sustaining arm depend,
To earth's and sea's remotest end,
All men in every age;
Thy strength establishes the hills,
Thy word the roaring billows stills,
And calms the peoples' rage.
5 The tribes of earth's remotest lands
Behold the tokens of Thy hands
And bow in godly fear;
The east, where beams the morning light,
The west, in evening glories bright,
Rejoice, for Thou art near.

Blest Be the Lord, My Rock, My Might
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest be the Lord, my rock, my might,
My constant Helper in the fight,
My shield, my righteousness,
My strong high tower, my Savior true,
Who doth my enemies subdue,
My shelter in distress.
2 Lord, what is man, what has he wrought,
The son of man, that in Thy thought
To hold him Thou shouldst deign?
For man is like a breath, a sight,
His days on earth as quickly fly
As shadows o'er the plain.
3 Lord, how Thy heavens, in might descend,
Touch Thou the hills, the mountains rend,
And they shall smoke and flame;
As arrows send Thy lightnings out
to put Thy enemies to rout,
And fill Thy foes with shame.
4 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me
From trouble's dark and raging sea,
And from the alien throng,
Whose mouth but vanity doth speak,
Whose hand of strength against the weak
Is filled with craft and wrong.
5 Now will I sing a glad new song,
Thy praise, O God, I will prolong,
For Thou hast heard my prayer;
Salvation Thou dost give to kings,
Thy own dost keep, with sheltering wings,
From hurtful sword and snare.
6 O Thou to Whom in trust I flee,
Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me
From all the alien throng,
Whose mouth but vanity doth speak,
Whose hand of strength against the weak
Is filled with craft and wrong. Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life; Deliverance From Enemies; God our Helper; Judgment; God of Christ our Refuge; God or Christ as Rock; War and peace Scripture: Psalm 144 Used With Tune: MALONE

Once More In The Redeemer's Name
Author: Moses Cheney Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Once more in the Redeemer’s name Lyrics: 1 Once more in the Redeemer’s name,
Dear brethren, we have met again,
To speak, and pray, and sing;
Now let each one obey the call,
Of Him who tasted death for all,
Our everlasting king.
2 Since I was here, how have you done?
How have you walked, how have you run?
Or, like the eagle, flew,
Or have you fell in despond’s slough?
Then look to Him who sees you now,
To raise your minds anew.
3 What kind of manna have you had?
Come tell me whether good or bad;
The source from whence it came;
Have you been fed from Christ above,
By those who say they came in love,
To lead along the lame?
4 Does union in your hearts abound,
As once it did to hear the sound,
Of trembling groans and cries?
When all as one, to Christ did go,
To save them from that dreadful woe
And wipe their weeping eyes?
5 Christ crucified is what I know,
His cause the reason why I go,
O’er hills and valleys through;
’Tis for His cause I leave my home,
To sound His fame, for this I roam;
For this I come to you.
6 And while I’m called to leave my home,
And o’er creation wide to roam,
My friends may think of me,
Not knowing what or how I do,
While I am come to visit you
And preach the Gospel free.
7 O Jesus, come fill all our souls,
May we all be like golden bowls,
Around Thine altar strung;
Our cups o’erflow with love sincere,
Till we shall sing salvation clear,
In everlasting songs. Used With Tune: MALONE Text Sources: The Christian's Pocket Companion by Joseph C. Royce (Enfield, Conn. John Howe, 1826)
