O God unseen, yet ever near
Author: E. Osler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 134 hymnals First Line: O God, unseen, yet ever near Lyrics: 1 O God, unseen yet ever near,
Thy presence may we feel;
And thus inspired with holy fear,
Before Thine altar kneel.
2 Here may Thy faithful people know
The blessings of Thy love,
The streams that through the desert flow,
The manna from above.
3 We come, obedient to Thy word,
To feast on heavenly food;
Our meat the Body of the Lord,
Our drink his precious Blood.
4 Thus may we all Thy word obey,
For we, O God, are Thine;
And go rejoicing on our way,
Renewed with strength divine.

Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 159 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
in this our evil day;
to all thy tempted followers give
the power to watch and pray.
2 Long as our fiery trials last,
long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on thee be cast
in never-ceasing prayer.
3 The Spirit's interceding grace
give us in faith to claim;
to wrestle till we see thy face,
and know thy hidden name.
4 Till thou thy perfect love impart,
till thou thyself bestow,
be this the cry of every heart,
'I will not let thee go.'
5 I will not let thee go, unless
thou tell thy name to me;
with all thy great salvation bless,
and make me all like thee.
6 Then let me on the mountain-top
behold thine open face;
where faith in sight is swallowed up,
and prayer in endless praise. Topics: Transfiguration Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12 Used With Tune: ST ETHELDREDA

Beyond the everlasting hills
Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden, b.1886 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beyond the everlasting hills,
Above the starry skies,
My spirit seeks the home of peace,
Where tears shall dim no eyes.
2 No shadows there shall ever fall,
Nor weary night and long;
No silver cords shall broken be
To hush the sound of song. A-men.
3 There shall I find again the love
Of those I cherished here;
And friendship's ties shall holier be,
And bonds of love more dear.
4 There shall I see thee, O my God,
Creator, Saviour, Friend;
And with angelic voices join
In worship without end.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week; The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA

Bright Was the Guiding Star That Led
Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bright was the guiding star that led,
With mild, benignant ray,
The Gentiles to the lowly shed,
Where the Redeemer lay.
2. But lo! a brighter, clearer, light
Now points to His abode;
It shines, through sin and sorrow’s night,
To guide us to our God.
3. Oh! haste to follow where it leads
The gracious call obey;
Be rugged wilds, or flowery meads,
The Christian’s destined way.
4. Oh! gladly tread the narrow path,
While light and grace are given;
Who meekly follow Christ on earth
Shall reign with Him in Heaven. Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1829

God will I bless all times; his praise
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God will I bless all times; his praise
my mouth shall still express.
2 My soul shall boast in God: the meek
shall hear with joyfulness.
3 Extol the Lord with me, let us
his name together praise;
4 I sought the Lord, he heard, and did
above all fears me raise.
5 They looked to him and lightened were:
their faces were not shamed;
6 this poor man cried, God heard, and him
from all distress redeemed.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps,
and round encompasseth
all those about that do him fear,
and them delivereth.
8 O taste and see that God is good:
who trusts in him is blessed.
9 Fear God his saints: none that him fear
shall be with want oppressed.
10 The lions young may hungry be,
and they may lack their food:
but they that truly seek the Lord
shall not lack any good.
11 O children, hither do ye come,
and unto me give ear;
I shall you teach to understand
how ye the Lord should fear.
12 What man is he that life desires,
to see good would live long?
13 Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,
and from ill words thy tongue.
14 Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
pursue it earnestly.
15 God’s eyes are on the just; his ears
are open to their cry.
16 The face of God is set against
those that do wickedly,
that he may quite out from the earth
cut off their memory.
17 The righteous cry unto the Lord,
he unto them gives ear;
and they out of their troubles all
by him delivered are.
18 The Lord is ever nigh to them
in heart that broken be;
those who in spirit contrite are
he saveth graciously.
19 The troubles that afflict the just
in number many be;
but yet at length out of them all
the Lord doth set him free.
20 He carefully his bones doth keep,
whatever may befall;
that not so much as one of them
can broken be at all.
21 Ill shall the wicked slay; condemned
shall be who hate the just.
22 The Lord redeems his servants’ souls;
none perish that him trust. Scripture: Psalm 34 Used With Tune: ST ETHELREDA
God will I bless all times; his praise
