If God is mine, then present things
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If God is mine, then present things,
And things to come, are mine;
Yea, Christ, His Word, and Spirit, too,
And glory all divine.
2 If He is mine, then from His love,
He every trouble sends;
All things are working for my good,
And bliss His rod attends.
3 If He is mine, I need not fear
The rage of earth and hell;
He will support my feeble frame,
Their utmost force repel.
4 If He is mine, let friends forsake,
Let wealth and honors flee—
Sure He, who giveth me Himself,
Is more than these to me.
5 If He is mine, I’ll boldly pass
Through death’s tremendous vale;
He is a solid comfort when
All other comforts fail.
6 O, tell me, Lord! that Thou art mine;
What can I wish beside?
My soul shall at the fountain live,
When all the streams are dried. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: John Rippon's Selections, 10th ed. 1800

Spirit of Truth, on This Thy Day
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Spirit of truth, on this Thy day
To Thee for help we cry,
To guide us through the dreary way
Of dark mortality.
2. We ask not, Lord, Thy cloven flame,
Or tongues of various tone;
But long Thy praises to proclaim
With fervor in our own.
3. We mourn not that prophetic skill
Is found on earth no more;
Enough for us to trace Thy will
In Scripture’s sacred lore.
4. We neither have nor seek the power
Ill demons to control;
But Thou in dark temptation’s hour
Shalt chase them from the soul.
5. No heavenly harpings soothe our ear,
No mystic dreams we share;
Yet hope to feel Thy comfort near,
And bless Thee in our prayer.
6. When tongues shall cease, and power decay,
And knowledge empty prove,
Do Thou Thy trembling servants stay,
With faith, with hope, with love. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Service of the Church Year (London: J. Murray, 1827)

With Songs and Honors Sounding Loud
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 282 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heav’ns He spreads His cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
2. He sends His showers of blessing down
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
3. He gives the grazing ox his meat,
He hears the raven’s cry;
But man, who tastes His finest wheat,
Should raise His honors high.
4. His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
5. His hoary frost, His fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
6. When from the dreadful stores on high
He pours the rattling hail,
The wretch that dares this God defy
Shall find his courage fail.
7. He sends His Word, and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
8. The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey His mighty Word:
With songs and honors sounding loud,
Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

We walk by faith, and not by sight
Author: Dean Alford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1. We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From Him who spake as man ne'er spake;
But we believe Him near.
2. We may not touch His hands and side,
Nor follow where He trod;
But in His promise we rejoice,
And cry, "My Lord and God!"
3. Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound,
To call on Thee when Thou art near,
And seek where Thou art found:
4. That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold Thee as Thou art,
With full and endless sight. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Thomas; Doubt Used With Tune: [We walk by faith, and not by sight]

Enduring Soul of all our life
Author: Ebenezer S. Oakley Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Enduring Soul of all our life,
In whom all things blend,
Unhanging Peace ‘mid storm and strife,
Our Parent, Home, and End,—
2 Through Thee the worlds, with all they bear,
Their mighty courses run;
Through Thee the heavens are passing fair,
And splendor clothes the sun.
3 The thoughts that move the heart of an
And lift his soul on high,
The skill that teaches him to plan
With wondrous subtlety,—
4 These are Thy thoughts, almighty Mind;
This skill is Thine, O Lord,
Who dost by hidden influence bind
All powers in sweet accord.
5 No noble work was e’er begun
Which came not first from heaven;
No living deed was ever done
Without Thine inpulse given.
6 O fill us now, Thou living Power,
With energy divine;
Thus shall our wills from hour to hour
Become not ours, but Thine.
