Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Author: Edward Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Was strong to heal and save;
It triumphed o'er disease and death,
O'er darkness and the grave;
To thee they went, the blind, the dumb,
The palsied and the lame,
The leper with his tainted life,
The sick with fevered frame.
2 And lo! thy touch brought life and health,
Gave speech, and strength, and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Owned thee the Lord of light;
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as of yore,
In crowded street, by restless couch,
As by Gennesareth's shore.
3 Be thou our great deliverer still,
Thou Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless
With thine almighty breath;
To hands that work, and eyes that see,
Give wisdom's heavenly lore,
That whole and sick, and weak and strong,
May praise thee evermore. Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Sickness and Healing; St. Luke October 18th Used With Tune: ST MATTHEW

The earth belongs to God alone
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The earth belongs to God alone
and all that it contains;
the world and its inhabitants
God's steadfast love maintains.
2 The Lord who brought the world to birth
laid earth's foundations sure,
and firm within the surging seas
established them secure.
3 Who, then, are those who shall ascend
the holy hill of God?
And who is fit to stand within
the presence of the Lord?
4 All those whose hands and hearts are clean,
with no room in their mind
for worthless vanities or vows
of a deceitful kind.
5 These are the people who receive
a blessing from the Lord,
and vindication for their ways
from God, their saving God.
6 O God of Jacob, help us all
who gather in this place,
to seek your presence with us now:
we yearn to see your face. Topics: Creation; Gathering; God names and imags of; Holy Communion; Purity Of Heart Scripture: Psalm 24:1-6 Used With Tune: ST MATTHEW Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1929

O God, No Longer Hold Thy Peace
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, no longer hold thy peace,
no longer silent be;
thine enemies lift up their head
to fight thy saints and thee.
Against thine own, whom thou dost love,
their craft thy foes employ;
they think to cut thy people off,
thy church they would destroy.
2 Thine ancient foes, conspiring still,
with one consent agree,
and they who with thy people strive
make war, O God, with thee.
O God, who in our fathers' time
didst smite our foes and thine,
so smite thine enemies today
who in their pride combine.
3 Make them like dust and stubble blown
before the whirlwind dire,
in terror driv'n before the storm
of thy consuming fire.
Confound them in their sin till they
to thee for pardon fly,
till in dismay they, trembling, own
that thou art God Most High.

How Vast the Benefits Divine
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine
which we in Christ possess!
We are redeemed from guilt and shame
and called to holiness.
But not for works which we have done,
or shall hereafter do,
hath God decreed on sinful men
salvation to bestow.
2 The glory, Lord, from first to last,
is due to thee alone;
aught to ourselves we dare not take,
or rob thee of thy crown.
Our glorious Surety undertook
to satisfy for man,
and grace was given us in him
before the world began.
3 This is thy will, that in thy love
we ever should abide;
that earth and hell should not prevail
to turn thy word aside.
Not one of all the chosen race
but shall to heav'n attain,
partake on earth the purposed grace
and then with Jesus reign.

Fountain of Never-Ceasing Grace
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fountain of never-ceasing grace,
your saints' exhaustless theme,
great object of immortal praise,
essentially supreme;
we bless you for the glorious fruits
your incarnation gives,
the righteousness which grace imputes,
and faith alone receives.
2 In you we have a righteousness
by God himself approved;
our rock, our sure foundation this,
which never can be moved.
Our ransom by your death was paid,
for all your people giv'n,
the law you perfectly obeyed,
that they might enter heav'n.
4 As all, when Adam sinned alone,
in his transgression died,
so by the righteousness of One
are sinners justified;
we to your merit, gracious Lord,
With humblest joy submit,
again to paradise restored,
in you alone complete.

Great King of Nations, hear our prayer
Hear Me O God, Nor Hide Thy Face
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals First Line: Hear me, O God, nor hide Thy face Lyrics: 1. Hear me, O God, nor hide Thy face;
But answer, lest I die;
Hast Thou not built a throne of grace
To hear when sinners cry?
2. My days are wasted like the smoke
Dissolving in the air;
My strength is dried, my heart is broke,
And sinking in despair.
3. My spirits flag like withering grass
Burnt with excessive heat;
In secret groans my minutes pass,
And I forget to eat.
4. As on some lonely building’s top
The sparrow tells her moan,
Far from the tents of joy and hope
I sit and grieve alone.
5. My soul is like a wilderness
Where beasts of midnight howl;
There the sad raven finds her place
And there the screaming owl.
6. Dark, dismal thoughts, and boding fears,
Dwell in my troubled breast;
While sharp reproaches wound my ears,
Nor give my spirit rest.
7. My cup is mingled with my woes,
And tears are my repast;
My daily bread, like ashes, grows
Unpleasant to my taste.
8. Sense can afford no real joy
To souls that feel Thy frown;
Lord, ’twas Thy hand advanced me high
Thy hand hath cast me down.
9. My looks like withered leaves appear;
And life’s declining light
Grows faint as evening shadows are
That vanish into night.
10. But Thou for ever art the same,
O my eternal God;
Ages to come shall know Thy name,
And spread Thy works abroad.
11. Thou wilt arise and show Thy face,
Nor will my Lord delay
Beyond th’appointed hour of grace,
That long-expected day.
12. He hears His saints, He knows their cry,
And by mysterious ways
Redeems the prisoners doomed to die,
And fills their tongues with praise. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
