Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 78 hymnals First Line: Vainly, through night's weary hours Lyrics: 1 Vainly, through night's weary hours,
Keep we watch, lest foes alarm;
Vain our bulwarks, and our towers,
But for God's protecting arm.
2 Vain were all our toil and labor,
Did not God that labor bless;
Vain, without his grace and favor,
Every talent we possess.
3 Vainer still the hope of heaven,
That on human strength relies;
But to him shall help be given,
Who in humble faith applies.
4 Seek we, then, the Lord's Anointed;
He will grant us peace and rest;
Ne'er was suppliant disappointed,
Who thro' Christ his prayer addressed. Topics: Activity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Scripture: Nehemiah 4:6 Used With Tune: WIMBORNE
