Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: W. Whiting Appears in 432 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm restrains the restless wave,
Who told the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed bounds to keep:
We cry, O God of majesty,
For those in peril on the sea.
2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at your word,
Who walked across the surging deep
And in the storm lay calm in sleep:
We cry, O Lord of Galilee,
For those in peril on the sea.
3 Creator Spirit, by whose breath
Were fashioned sea and sky and earth;
Who made the stormy chaos cease
And gave us life and light and peace:
We cry, O Spirit strong and free,
For those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
Preserve their lives in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, flood and flame,
Protect them by your holy name,
And to your glory let there be
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Topics: Authority of God; Gratitude; Petition; Trinity; Trust in God Used With Tune: MELITA Text Sources: Revised: Hymns For Today's Chruch, 1982

Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, ca. 675-749; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 381 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
4 Alleluia! Now we cry
to our Lord immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;
Alleluia! With the Son,
God the Father praising;
Alleluia! Yet a gain
to the Spirit raising.

How did my heart rejoice to hear
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 302 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:19 Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear
My friends devoutly say,
In Zion let us all appear,
And keep the solemn day.
2 I love her gates--I love the road;
The church, adorned with grace,
Stands like a palace built for God,
To show his milder face.
3 Up to her courts, with joy unknown,
The holy tribes repair:
The Son of David holds his throne,
And sits in judgment there.
4 He hears our praises and complaints,
And while his awful voice
Divides the sinners from the saints,
We tremble and rejoice.
5 Peace be within this sacred place,
And joy a constant guest;
With holy gifts and heavenly grace
Be her attendants blest!
6 My soul shall pray for Zion still,
While life or breath remains;
Here my best friends, my kindred dwell,
Here God, my Saviour, reigns. Topics: The Christian Church The Sanctuary; Delight in the Sabbath and Temple of God

that shadows a dry, thirsty land;
he hideth my life in the depths of his love,
and covers me there with his hand,
and covers me there with his hand.

he taketh my burden away;
he holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved,
he giveth me strength as my day. [Refrain]

I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God

to meet him clouds of the sky,
his perfect salvation, his wonderful love
I'll shout with the millions on high. [Refrain]

And there our vows and honors pay.

Adorned with wondrous grace,
And walls of strength embrace thee round:
In thee our tribes appear
To pray, and praise, and hear
The sacred gospel's joyful sound.

And joy within thee wait,
To bless the soul of every guest:
The man who seeks thy peace,
And wishes thine increase,
A thousand blessings on him rest!

Peace to this sacred house!
For here my friends and kindred dwell:
And since my glorious God
Makes thee his blest abode,
My soul shall ever love thee well.
