God Is Love, by Him Upholden

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: The Goodness and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 God is love, by Him upholden, Hang the glorious orbs of light, In their language, glad and golden, Speaking to us day and night Their great story, God is love, and God is light. 2 Through that precious love He sought us Wandering from His holy ways; With that precious life He bought us, Then let all our future days Tell this story, Love is life, our lives be praise. 3. Gladsome is the theme and glorious, Praise to Christ our gracious Head; Christ, the risen Christ, victorious, Earth and hell hath captive led. Welcome story! Love lives on, and death is dead. 4. Up to Him let each affection Daily rise and round Him move; Our whole lives one resurrection To the life of life above; Their glad story, God is life, and God is love. Used With Tune: WYLDE GREEN

O Praise the Lord, His Deeds Make Known

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Providence of God Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, His deeds make known, And call upon His Name; Sing ye to Him, His praises sing, His wondrous works proclaim. Let hearts rejoice that seek the Lord, His holy Name adore; Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek Him forevermore 2 Ye children of God's covenant, Who of His grace have heard, Forget not all His wondrous deeds And judgments of His word. The Lord our God is God alone, All lands His judgments know; His promise He remembers still, While generations go. 3 While yet our fathers were but few, Sojourners in the land, He sware that Canaan should be theirs, And made His covenant stand. He suffered none to do them wrong In all their pilgrim way; Yea, for their sake were kings reproved And covered with dismay. 4 His stern command restrained their foes And filled them with alarm: Touch not My own anointed ones, Nor do My prophets harm. He wholly broke the staff of bread And called for famine sore, And He prepared His people's way Be sending one before. 5 Then Joseph, sold to slavery, With cruel chains was bound; Till his prediction came to pass, Distress and grief he found. The king released him from his bonds And made him rule the land, Subjecting chiefs and senators To his controlling hand. 6 To Egypt Israel followed then, And there grew great and strong, Until their friends became their foes And did them grievous wrong. God sent His servant Moses then, And Aaron, whom He chose; Great signs and wonders they displayed To terrify their foes. 7 In darkness they were taught to fear God's great and holy Name; On man and best, on vine and field, His awful judgment came. He smote the first-born in the land, The chief of all their strength, Enriched His people with the spoil And brought them forth at length. 8 He led them forth in health and strength, None weak in all their band, And Egypt, filled with fear, rejoiced To see them leave the land. He spread a cloud to cover them, Most glorious and bright, And made a fiery pillar shine To give them light by night. 9 At their request He sent them quails, And bread of heaven bestowed; And from the rock, to quench their thirst, The living waters flowed. His sacred word to Abraham He kept, though waiting long, And brought His chosen people forth With joy and thankful song. 10 The lands and toil of wicked men He gave them to possess, That they might keep His holy laws; Jehovah praise and bless. Let hearts rejoice that seek the Lord, His holy Name adore; Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek Him forevermore. Scripture: Psalm 105 Used With Tune: SPOHR

The night is dark, and I am far from home; lead thou me on. Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see the distant scene - one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou shouldst lead me on. I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone; and with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
