We Know Thee Who Thou Art

To end Thy work begun.

’Mid all the bliss of Heaven,
Has joy whene’er we seek Thy face,
And kneel to be forgiven.

At peace Thine arms within,
We pray Thee, shield us from the curse
Of falling back to sin.

All Yesterday Is Past
Author: Baptist W. Noel Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 All yesterday is past,
Tomorrow’s not our own;
Today may be our final chance
To bow before the throne.
2 Tomorrow, Lord is Thine,
Lodged in Thy sovereign hand;
And if its sun arise and shine,
It shines by Thy command.
3 The present moment flies
And bears our life away;
Oh, make the careless truly wise,
That they may live today.
4 Hear ye His voice today,
And harden not your heart;
Tomorrow He in justice may
Pronounce the doom, Depart.
5 Upon a fleeting hour
Eternity is hung;
Lord, waken by Thy mighty power
The agèd and the young. Used With Tune: SELLINGE Text Sources: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns, Adapted Chiefly for Congregationla and Social Worship (London: B. W. Gardiner)
