O God, my strength, my hope
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 387 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:7 Lyrics: 1 O God, my strength, my hope,
On thee I cast my care,
With humble confidence look up,
And know thou hearest prayer.
2 Oh, for a godly fear,
A quick-discerning eye,
That looks to thee when sin is near,
And sees the tempter fly!
3 A spirit still prepared,
And armed with jealous care,
For ever standing on its guard,
And watching unto prayer!
4 Lord, let me still abide,
Nor from my hope remove,
Till thou my patient spirit guide
To better worlds above. Topics: The Christian Life Humility and Watchfulness; Prayer for Self-Consecration
O God, my strength, my hope
That awful day will surely come
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 368 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:7 Lyrics: 1 That awful day will surely come,
Th' appointed hour makes haste,
When I must stand before my Judge,
And pass the solemn test.
2 Thou lovely Chief of all my joys,
Thou Sovereign of my heart!
How could I bear to hear thy voice
Pronounce the sound, depart!
3 Oh, wretched state of deep despair,
To see my God remove,
And fix my doleful station where
I must not taste his love!
4 Oh, tell me that my worthless name
Is graven on thy hands;
Show me some promise in thy Book,
Where my salvation stands. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; Certainty of the Judgment
That awful day will surely come
New Every Morning Is the Love
Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 365 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1-8 Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and power and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,
as more of heaven in each we see;
some softening gleam of love and prayer
shall dawn on every cross and care.
5 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask;
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
6 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love,
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Topics: Morning; Love Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

Thou art in the midst of foes:

Must'ring their unseen array,
Wait for thine unguarded hours:

Wear it ever, night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.

Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
"Watch and pray."

Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart his word,
"Watch and pray."

Hung the issue of the day;

Sent by the Father from on high,

E'en in the darkness of the grave;
Still more in resurrection light
We read the fullness of your might.

For ever safe, forever blest. Topics: Burial; Creation; Jesus Christ; Love of God for Us Used With Tune: DE TAR
