O Love of God, How Strong and True

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 110 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:20 Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true, eternal and yet ever new, uncomprehended and unbought, beyond all knowledge and all thought. 2 O heavenly love, how precious still in days of weariness and ill, in nights of pain and helplessness, to heal, to comfort, and to bless. 3 O wide embracing, wondrous love! We read you in the sky above, we read you in the earth below, in seas that swell and streams that flow. 4 We read you in the flowers, the trees, the freshness of the fragrant breeze, the song of birds upon the wing, the joy of summer and of spring. 5 We read you best in him who came to bear for us the cross of shame, sent by the Father from on high, our life to live, our death to die. 6 We read your power to bless and save even in the darkness of the grave; still more in resurrection light we read the fullness of your might. 7 O love of God, our shield and stay through all the perils of our way; eternal love, in you we rest, forever safe, forever blest.

A safe stronghold our God is still

Author: Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881); Martin Luther (1483-1546) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:16 Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, a trusty shield and weapon; he'll keep us clear from all the ill that hath us now o'ertaken. The ancient prince of hell hath risen with purpose fell; strong mail of craft and power he weareth in this hour; on earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can, full soon were we down-ridden; but for us fights the proper Man, whom God himself hath bidden. Ask ye who is this same? Christ Jesus is his name, the Lord Sabaoth's Son; he, and no other one, shall conquer in the battle. 3 And were this world all devils o'er, and watching to devour us, we lay it not to heart so sore; they cannot overpower us. And let the prince of ill look grim as e'er he will, he harms us not a whit; for why? his doom is writ; a word shall quickly slay him. 4 God's word, for all their craft and force, one moment will not linger, but, spite of hell, shall have its course; 'tis written by his finger. And, though they take our life, goods, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all: the city of God remaineth.

Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. 6 I bind unto myself the name, the strong name of the Trinity by invocation of the same, the Three in One and One in Three, of whom all nature has creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word. Praise to the Lord of my salvation; salvation is of Christ the Lord!

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:12 Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies; let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us; sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on, till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died. Yet, with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our parents sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered; we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; thou who hast by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee; lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee; shadowed beneath thy hand may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land.
