There Is A Blessed Power

Author: J. C. Aaberg Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a blessed power That shields us from all woe, And like a mighty tower Protects us from the foe, It bids all trouble vanish And calms the stormy sea, It fear and grief shall banish And set from death us free. 2 It is the faith abiding In Jesus Christ, our Lord; It is the faith confiding In God's own blessed word. The heart can never falter That builds upon this rock Which stands, tho' times may alter, And foes around it flock. 3 By faith was Moses guided Unto the promised land And Israel provided With manna from God's hand; In want and tribulation, Exposed to fire and sword, God's children found salvation By faith in Christ, the Lord. 4 When shades of night inclose us And griefs our heart dismay, When foes with might oppose us And friends our trust betray, In trouble and vexation, We take the shield of faith And with this consolation We fight the pow'rs of death. 6 Arise, then, all believers! Lift high this mighty shield, The strongest arrow shivers Against its gleaming field, And ye shall walk protected From Satan's wiles and might Until in grace perfected Ye dwell with God in light.

Praise The Lord That He Has Built

Author: J. C. Aaberg Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord that He has built Here on earth a sanctuary, Where the soul, oppress'd by guilt, Safe beneath His wings may tarry, While His mercy love and grace All its guilty stains efface. 2 Built upon the rock it stands Firmly through the passing ages, Heeding not the world's demands, Nor the storm that round it rages, But to souls with cares replete It remains a blest retreat. 3 There the wounded hearts are heal'd, Grace to yearning souls imparted, Light to sightless eyes reveal'd, Strength renew'd in feeble-hearted, So that souls from weakness prone Grow like trees in Lebanon. 4 Send us, Lord, Thy Spirit's dove, Open wide Thy living fountain, Deck Thine altar with Thy love, Teach us from Thy holy mountain, Shield us all beneath Thy wing Till, at home, Thy praise we sing.

A Few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 384 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb.

A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while, And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him might reign; Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away.
