To God, the Father of all love

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #332 (1893) Lyrics: 1 TO God, the Father of all love, The God of earth and heaven, The mighty God who reigns above, Be praise and glory given! With healing balm my soul He fills, And every pain and sorrow stills: To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and sky all living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore and praise their Maker's might, Whose wisdom orders all things right; To God all praise and glory! 3 What God's almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning glow or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth; Within the kingdom of His might, Lo! all is just and all is right; To God all praise and glory! 4 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Saviour saw my helplessness, And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God most high, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 5 The Lord forsaketh not His flock, His chosen generation; He is their Refuge and their Rock, Their Peace and their Salvation, And with a mother's watchful love He guides them wheresoe'er they rove; To God all praise and glory! 6 When earth can comfort us no more, Nor human help availeth, The Maker comes Himself, whose store Of blessing never faileth, And bends on them a Father's eyes Whom earth all rest and hope denies; To God all praise and glory! 7 Thus all my pilgrim way along I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises; Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory! 8 Ye who confess Christ's holy name, To God give praise and glory! Ye who the Father's power proclaim, To God give praise and glory! All idols under foot be trod, The Lord is God! The Lord is God! To God all praise and glory! 9 Then come before His presence now, And banish fear and sadness; To your Redeemer pay your vow, And sing with joy and gladness: Though great distress my soul befell, The Lord my God did all things well; To God all praise and glory!

We sing th' almighty power of God

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #333 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 WE sing th' almighty power of God, Who bade the mountains rise, Who spread the flowing seas abroad, And built the lofty skies. 2 We sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day, The moon shines, too, at His command, And all the stars obey. 3 We sing the goodness of the Lord, Who fills the earth with food; Who formed His creatures by a word, And then pronounced them good. 4 Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, Where'er we turn our eyes, Whether we view the ground we tread, Or gaze upon the skies! 5 There's not a plant nor flower below, But makes Thy glories known: And clouds arise and tempests blow, By order from Thy throne. 6 On Thee each moment we depend: If Thou withdraw we die. O may we ne'er that God offend, Who is forever nigh! Topics: Praise Languages: English

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #334 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 WHEN all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view I’m lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 3 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 4 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 5 Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I’ll raise: But oh! eternity’s too short To utter all Thy praise.

Ah! God, my days are dark indeed

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #335 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 AH! GOD, my days are dark indeed, How oft this aching heart must bleed; The narrow way,--how filled with pain, That I must pass, ere heaven I gain! 2 How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal God! Ah! whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn. 3 In Thee have I, howe'er distressed, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest! I can not all forsaken be, While still my heart can trust in Thee. 4 Thine office and Thy person show That Thou great miracles canst do: Miraculous was, Lord, Thy birth When Thou wert born a child on earth; 5 And by Thy death Thou mak'st me free So strangely from all misery. Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! 6 No grief can ever be so sore, But Thy sweet name can cheer me more; So keen no sorrow's rankling dart, But Thy sweet name can heal my heart. 7 Although my flesh and heart may fail, I'll heed it not, I shall not quail; My Saviour, if I have but Thee, I shall be blest eternally. 8 With heart and soul I'm Thine fore'er; Sin, death, and health I need not fear. The world can show no truth like Thine, And therefore will I not repine. 9 I know Thou wilt forsake me not, Thy truth is fixed, though dark my lot, Thou art my Shepherd, and Thy sheep From harm forever Thou wilt keep. 10 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure naught can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy name. 11 They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love; How many a time I've sadly said, Far better were it I were dead; 12 Far better ne'er the light to see If I had not this joy in Thee; For he who hath not Thee in faith, His very life is merely death. 13 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile, the world may frown: In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold. 14 Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; Whene'er I hope in Thee, my Friend, Thy comfort and Thy peace descend. 15 Where'er in grief I pray and sing, I feel new courage in me spring; Thy Spirit witnesses that this Is fortaste of th'eternal bliss. 16 Therefore, while life remains in me, I'll bear Thy cross and follow Thee. Grant me a patient, willing mood; I know that it shall work my good. 17 Help me to do my task aright, That it may stand before Thy sight; Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul. 18 O keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death; Jesus, my Comfort, bend to me, Ah, would I were e'en now with Thee!

Ah! Lord our God, let them not be confounded

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #336 (1893) Meter: 11.5 Lyrics: 1 AH! LORD our God, let them not be confounded Who, though be want, and woe, and pain surrounded, Yet day and night still for Thy hope are sighing, To Thee are crying. 2 But put to shame Thy foes, who breathe defiance, And make their own vain might their sole reliance; O turn in mercy to Thy generation, Lord have compassion! 3 Against our foes some succor quickly send us; It Thou but speak the word, they shall not end us, But change to friends, lay down their arms forever, And rally never. 4 We stand bereft of help, and poor and lonely. 'Twere vain to trust in man;--with Thee, Lord, only We may defeat the enemies around us Who seek to wound us. 5 Thou art our Champion who canst overthrow them, And save the little flock now crushed below them, We trust in Thee; for Jesus' sake be near us! Help, Helper hear us! Topics: The Cross and Comfort Languages: English

And let this feeble body fail

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #337 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 AND let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints And find its long sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants, In my Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown I now the cross sustain, And gladly wander up and down, And smile at toil and pain: I suffer on my threescore years Till my Deliverer come, And wipe away His servant's tears, And take His exile home. 3 O what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravished eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of Spirits bright Who reap the pleasures there; They all are robed in spotless white, And conquering palms they bear. 4 O what are all my sufferings here, If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away; But let me find them all again In that eternal day. Topics: The Cross and Comfort Languages: English

Beloved, "It is well!"

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #338 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 BELOVED, "It is well!" God’s ways are always right; And perfect love is o’er them all, Though far above our sight. 2 Beloved, "It is well!" Though deep and sore the smart, The hand that wounds knows how to bind And heal the broken heart. 3 Beloved, "It is well!" Though sorrow clouds our way, ’Twill only make the joy more dear That ushers in the day. 4 Beloved, "It is well!" The path that Jesus trod, Though rough and strait and dark it be, Leads home to heaven and God. Topics: The Cross and Comfort Languages: English

Commit whatever grieves thee

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #339 (1893) Meter: 7.6.8.1 Lyrics: 1 COMMIT whatever grieves thee At heart, and all thy ways, To Him who never leaves thee, On whom creation stays. Who freest courses maketh For clouds, and air, and wind, And who care ever taketh A path for thee to find. 2 The Lord thou must repose on If thou wouldst prosper sure, His work must ever gaze on If thine is to endure. By anxious care and grieving, By self-consuming pain, God is not moved to giving; By prayer must thou obtain. 3 Thy grace that ever floweth, O Father! what is good, Or evil, ever knoweth, To mortal flesh and blood. What to Thine eye all-seeing, And to Thy counsel wise Seems good, doth into being, O mighty Prince arise! 4 For means it fails Thee never, Thou always findst a way, Thy doing’s blessing ever, Thy path like brightest day. Thy work can no one hinder, Thy labor cannot rest, If Thou design’st Thy tender Children should be blessed. 5 Though all the power of evil Should rise up to resist, Without a doubt or cavil God never will desist; His undertakings ever At length He carries through; What He designs He never Can fail at all to do. 6 Hope on, thou heart, grief-riven, Hope, and courageous be, Where anguish thee hath driven Thou shalt deliverance see. God, from Thy pit of sadness Shall raise thee graciously; Wait and the sun of gladness Thine eyes shall early see. 7 Up! up! to pain and anguish A long good night now say; Drive all that makes thee languish In grief and woe away. Thine ’tis not to endeavor The ruler’s part to play, God sits as ruler ever, Guides all things well each day. 8 Let Him alone--and tarry, He is a Prince all-wise, He shall Himself so carry, ’Twill strange seem in thine eyes. When He, as Him beseemeth, In wonderful decree, Shall as Himself good deemeth, O’errule what grieveth thee. 9 He may, awhile still staying, His comforts keep from thee And, on His part delaying, Seem to have utterly Forgotten and forsaken And put thee out of mind, Though thou’rt by grief o’ertaken, No time for thee to find. 10 But if thou never shrinkest, And true dost still remain, He’ll come when least thou thinkest, And set thee free again, Thee from the load deliver, That burdeneth thy heart, That thou hast carried never For any evil part. 11 Hail! child of faith, who gainest The victory alway, Who honor’s crown obtainest, That never fades away. God in thy hand will give thee One day the glorious palm; Who ne’er in grief did leave thee, To Him thou’llt sing thy psalm. 12 O Lord, no longer lengthen Our time of misery, Our hands and feet to strengthen And until death may we By Thee be watched and cared for, In faithfulness and love, So come we where prepared for Us is our blessed abode.

Dear Refuge of my weary soul

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #340 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 DEAR Refuge of my weary soul, On Thee, when sorrows rise, On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone canst heal; Thy Word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel. 3 Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face? And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace Be deaf when I complain? 4 No, still the ear of sovereign grace Attends the mourner's prayer; O may I ever find access, To breathe my sorrows there!
