Almighty Ruler of the Skies

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Almighty Ruler of the skies, Thro’ the wide earth Thy name is spread; And Thine eternal glories rise O’er all the heav’ns Thy hands have made. 2. To Thee the voices of the young A monument of honor raise; And babes, with uninstructed tongue, Declare the wonders of Thy praise. 3. Thy power assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground, To still the bold blasphemer’s rage, And all their policies confound. 4. Children amidst Thy temple throng To see their great Redeemer’s face; The Son of David is their song, And young hosannas fill the place. 5. The frowning scribes and angry priests In vain their impious cavils bring; Revenge sits silent in their hearts; While Jewish babes proclaim their King.

Lord Jesus Christ, My Life, My Light

Author: M Behemb; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, my Life, my Light, My strength by day, my trust by night, On earth I'm but a passing guest, And sorely by my sins oppressed. 2 O let thy sufferings give me power To meet the last and darkest hour. Thy cross, the staff whereon I lean, My couch, the grave where Thou hast been. 3 Since Thou hast died, the pure, the just, I take my homeward way in trust; The gates of heaven, Lord, open wide, When here I may no more abide. 4 And when the last great day is come, And Thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom, Let me with joy behold the light, And set me then upon Thy right. 5 Renew this wasted flesh of mine, That like the sun it there may shine Among the angels pure and bright. Yea, like thyself, in glorious light. 6 Ah, then I have my heart's desire, When, singing with the angels' choir, Among the ransomed of thy grace, Forever I behold thy face. AMEN.
