Blest Be the Lord, My Rock, My Might

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Blest be the Lord, my rock, my might, My constant Helper in the fight, My shield, my righteousness, My strong high tower, my Savior true, Who doth my enemies subdue, My shelter in distress. 2 Lord, what is man, what has he wrought, The son of man, that in Thy thought To hold him Thou shouldst deign? For man is like a breath, a sight, His days on earth as quickly fly As shadows o'er the plain. 3 Lord, how Thy heavens, in might descend, Touch Thou the hills, the mountains rend, And they shall smoke and flame; As arrows send Thy lightnings out to put Thy enemies to rout, And fill Thy foes with shame. 4 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From trouble's dark and raging sea, And from the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong. 5 Now will I sing a glad new song, Thy praise, O God, I will prolong, For Thou hast heard my prayer; Salvation Thou dost give to kings, Thy own dost keep, with sheltering wings, From hurtful sword and snare. 6 O Thou to Whom in trust I flee, Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me From all the alien throng, Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, Whose hand of strength against the weak Is filled with craft and wrong. Scripture: Psalm 144 Used With Tune: MALONE

Good is the Lord, and Full of Kind Compassion

Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life First Line: Good is the Lord and full of kind compassion Lyrics: 1 Good is the Lord and full of kind compassion, Most slow to anger, plenteous in love; Rich is His grace to all that humbly seek Him, Boundless and endless as the heavens above. His love is like a father's to his children, Tender and kind to all who fear His Name; For well He knows our weakness and our frailty, He knows that we are dust, He knows our frame. 2 We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty, Like tender grass that soon will disappear; But evermore the love of God is changeless, Still shown to those who look to Him in fear. High in the heavens His throne is fixed forever, His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole; Bless ye the Lord through all His wide dominion, Bless His most holy Name, O thou my soul. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: LONDONDERRY

Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis!

Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Shortness Frailty and Misery of Life Lyrics: 1 Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis! And Days how swift they are; Swift as an Indian Arrow flies, Or like a shooting Star. [2 The present Moments just appear, Then slide away in Haste, That we can never say, They're here, But only say, They're past.] [3 Our Life is ever on the Wing, And Death is ever nigh; The Moment when our Lives begin, We all begin to die.] 4 Yet, mighty God, our fleeting Days Thy lasting Favours share; Yet with the Bounties of thy Grace, Thou load'st the rolling Year. 5 'Tis sov'reign Mercy finds us Food, And we are cloath'd by Love; While Grace stands pointing out the Road That leads our Souls above. 6 His Goodness runs an endless Round, All Glory to the Lord: His Mercy never knows a Bound, And be his Name ador'd! 7 Thus we begin the lasting Song, And when we close our Eyes, Let the next Age thy Praise prolong Till Time and Nature dies.
