O praise the Lord, our heavenly King

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XLIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, our heav'nly King, Who makes the earth his care; Visits the pastures ev'ry spring, And bids the grass appear. 2 The clouds, like rivers rais'd on high, Pour out, at his command, Their wat'ry blessings from the sky, To cheer the thirsty land. 3 The soften'd ridges of the field Permit the corn to spring; The vallies rich provision yield, And the glad labourers sing. 4 The little hills, on ev'ry side, Rejoice at falling show'rs; The meadows, dress'd in all their pride, Perfume the air with flow'rs. 5 The barren clods, refresh'd with rain, Promise a joyful crop; The parching grounds look green again, And raise the reaper's hope. 6 The various months thy goodness crowns; How bounteous are thy ways! The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs, And shepherds shout thy praise. 7 Thine is the cheerful day, and thine The still returns of night; Thou hast prepar'd the glorious sun And ev'ry feebler light. 8 By thee the borders of the earth In perfect order stand; The summer's warmth and winter's cold Attend on thy command.

O that the Lord would guide our ways

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXXX (1789) Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide our ways To keep his statutes still! O that the Lord would grant us grace To know and do his will! 2 Since we are strangers here below, Let not thy path be hid; But mark the road our feet should go, And be our constant guide. 3 Order our footsteps by thy word, And make our hearts sincere; Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep our conscience clear. 4 Make us to walk in wisdom's way, 'Tis a delightful road; It leads to realms of endless day, It leads to thine abode.

O thou, the wretched's sure retreat

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #VII (1789) Lyrics: 1 O thou, the wretched's sure retreat, Who dost their cares controul, And with the cheerful smile of peace Revive the fainting soul! 2 Did ever thy relenting ear The humble plea disdain? Or when did plaintive misery sigh, Or supplicate, in vain? 3 Whoe'er to thee for pardon sue In penitential tears, Thy goodness calms their restless doubts, And dissipates their fears. 4 Now life from thy refreshing grace, Their sinking hearts receive; Thy gentlest, best-lov'd attribute, To pity and forgive. 5 From that blest source propitious hope Appears serenely bright, And sheds her soft diffusive beam O'er sorrow's dismal night. 6 Our griefs confess her vital power, And bless the friendly ray, Which ushers in the smiling morn Of everlasting day.

O thou, who to our humble pray'r

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XLIV (1789) Lyrics: 1 O thou, who to my humble pray'r Dost always bend thy list'ning ear! To thee shall all mankind repair, And at thy gracious throne appear. 2 By wond'rous acts, O God, most just! Have we thy gracious answer found; In thee remotest nations trust, And those whom stormy waves surround. 3 From out thy unexhausted store Thy rain relieves the thirsty ground; Makes lands, that barren were before, With corn and richest fruits abound. 4 On rising ridges down it pours, And ev'ry furrow'd valley fills; Thou mak'st them soft with gentle show'rs, In which a blest increase distils. 5 Thy goodness does the circling year With fresh returns of plenty crown; And where thy glorious paths appear, Thy fruitful clouds drop fatness down. 6 They drop on barren forests, chang'd By them to pastures fresh and green; The hills about, in order rang'd, In beauteous robes of joy are seen. 7 Large flocks, with fleecy wool, adorn The cheerful downs; the vallies bring A plenteous crop of full-ear'd corn, And seem for joy to shout and sing.

O 'tis a lovely thing to see

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXIX (1789) Lyrics: 1 O 'tis a lovely thing to see A man of prudent heart, Whose thoughts, and lips, and life, agree To act a useful part. 2 When envy, strife and wars begin, In little angry souls, Mark how the sons of peace come in, And quench the kindling coals. 3 Their minds are humble, mild and meek, Nor let their anger rise; Nor passion moves their lips to speak, Nor pride exalts their eyes. 4 Their lives are prudence mix'd with love; Good works employ their day; They join the serpent with the dove, But cast the sting away.

On thee, O God! we still depend

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXXXIX (1789) Lyrics: 1 On thee, O God! we still depend, Our father and our constant friend; All that is good thou can'st supply, And put all threat'ning evil by. 2 Should wars on ev'ry side invade, We'll shelter seek beneath thy shade; We'll trust to thy paternal care, Nor want, nor harm, nor danger fear. 3 We'll still refer ourselves to thee, And with our lot contented be; With one consenting heart and voice, Approve our heav'nly father's choice. 4 From earth we'll turn our longing eyes, To regions far beyond the skies; O fit us for that blest abode, Where dwells our Father and our God.

Our Shepherd is the living Lord

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XXXIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Our shepherd is the living Lord; Now shall our wants be well supply'd; His providence and holy word Become our safety and our guide. 2 In pastures where salvation grows, He makes me feed, he makes me rest; There living water gently flows, And all the food's divinely blest. 3 Our wand'ring feet his ways mistake; But he restores our soul to peace, And leads us, for his mercy's sake, In the fair paths of righteousness. 4 Amidst the darkness and the deeps, Thou art our comfort, thou our stay; Thy staff supports my feeble steps, Thy rod directs my doubtful way. 5 Though we walk through the gloomy vale, Where death and all its terrors are, Our heart and hope shall never fail, For God our shepherd's with us there.

Patience, O 'tis a grace divine

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXVIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Patience, O 'tis a grace divine Sent from the God of pow'r and love, That leans upon its father's arm, As thro' the wilds of life we rove. 2 By patience we serenely bear The troubles of our mortal state, And wait contented our discharge, Nor think our glory comes too late. 3 O for this grace to aid us on, And arm with fortitude the breast, Till, life's tumultuous voyage o'er, We reach the shores of endless rest. 4 Faith into vision shall resign, Hope shall in full fruition die, And patience in possession end, In the bright worlds of bliss on high.
