It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P102c (1766) Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand Weakens our Strength amidst the Race; Disease and Death at his Command Arrest us, and cut short our Days. 2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray, Nor let our Sun go down at Noon; Thy Years are one eternal Day, And must thy Children die so soon? 3 Yet in the Midst of Death and Grief This Thought our Sorrow should asswage; "Our Father and our Saviour live; "Christ is the same through ev'ry Age." 4 'Twas he this Earth's Foundation laid; Heav'n is the Building of his Hand; This Earth grows old, these Heav'ns shall fade, And all be chang'd at his Command. 5 The starry Curtains of the Sky, Like Garments shall be laid aside; But still thy Throne stands firm on high; Thy Church for ever must abide. 6 Before thy Face thy Church shall live, And on thy Throne thy Children reign; This dying World shall they survive, And the dead Saints be rais'd again.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #649 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: It is the Lord our Savior's hand Weakens our strength amidst the race; Disease and death at his command Arrest us, and cut short our days. Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray, Nor let our sun go down at noon; Thy years are one eternal day, And must thy children die so soon? Yet in the midst of death and grief This thought our sorrow should assuage: Our Father and our Savior live; Christ is the same through every age. 'Twas he this earth's foundation laid; Heav'n is the building of his hand; This earth grows old, these heav'ns shall fade And all be changed at his command. The starry curtains of the sky, Like garments, shall be laid aside; But still thy throne stands firm on high, Thy church for ever must abide. Before thy face thy church shall live, And on thy throne thy children reign; This dying world shall they survive, And the dead saints be raised again. Scripture: Psalm 102:23-28 Languages: English
