O Lord of Life, Thy Quickening Voice
Author: George MacDonald, 1824-1905 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord of life, Thy quickening voice,
Awakes my morning song!
In gladsome words I would rejoice
That I to Thee belong.

The world it is Thy Word;
Whatever wakes my heart and mind
Thy presence is, my Lord.

And turn my face to Thee;
Therefore I stir my inmost heart
To worship fervently. Used With Tune: SOHO Text Sources: The Poetical Works of George MacDonald in Two Volumes, 1893
O Lord of Life, Thy Quickening Voice
Soon With Resistless Arm Shall Death
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Soon with resistless arm shall death
Assert its sovereign claim,
And summon man to yield his breath
To Him whence first it came.
2 Like crowded forest trees we stand,
And some are marked to fall:
The axe will smite at God’s command,
And soon shall smite us all.
3 Green as the bay tree, ever green,
With its new foliage on,
The gay, the thoughtless, I have seen;
I passed—and they were gone.
4 No present health can health ensure
For yet an hour to come,
No human power our life secure
And save us from the tomb.
5 Lord! may we mark the awful truth,
Revealed in sacred page—
A worm is in the bud of youth,
And at the root of age.
6 Lord! teach me henceforth so to live,
And number all my days,
That in Thy strength I now may strive
To walk in wisdom’s ways.
7 And since the fatal shafts of death
Are flying all around,
Prepare us to resign our breath,
Nor dread the threatened wound. Used With Tune: SOHO Text Sources: Select Portions of the Psalms, from Various Translations by John Kempthorne (London: J. Hatchard, 1810)

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, before the dawning light
My gracious God, I pray;
I meditate Thy name by night,
And keep Thy law by day.
2 My spirit faints to see Thy grace,
Thy promise bears me up;
And while salvation long delays,
Thy Word supports my hope.
3 Seven times a day I lift my hands,
And pay my thanks to Thee;
Thy righteous providence demands
Repeated praise from me.
4 When midnight darkness veils the skies,
I call Thy works to mind;
My thoughts in warm devotion rise,
And sweet acceptance find. Used With Tune: SOHO Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

How precious is the book divine
Author: Dr. J. Fawcett, 1740-1817 Appears in 651 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How precious is the book divine,
By inspiration given;
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
To guide our souls to heaven.
2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.

Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. Topics: Scriptures Lamp a ; The Godhead Holy Scripture; Grace Throne; Lamp, the Bible a Used With Tune: SPRINGTIDE

While here o’er earth we rove;

All time, and toil, and care;

And bid my heart rejoice;
My bounding heart shall own Thy sway,
And echo to Thy voice.

’Tis all I wish to seek;
To attend the whispers of Thy grace,
And hear Thee inly speak.

Till I Thy glory see;
Enter into my master’s joy,
And find my heaven in Thee. Used With Tune: SOHO Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1740. The original version had an additional first stanza that began, Saviour, Who ready art to hear. The current version first appeared in the Wesley Hymn Book, 1780
