How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Author: Authorship doubtful Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #190b (1917) Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word! What more can He say, than to you He hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee thy trials to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 6 "The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose, I will not--I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!"

Lord, I have put my trust in Thee

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #220 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Old Age Lyrics: Lord, I have put my trust in Thee, Turn not my confidence to shame; Thy promise is a rock to me, A tower of refuge is Thy name. 220 Thou hast upheld me from the womb; Thou wert my strength and hope in youth; Now trembling, bending o'er the tomb, I lean upon Thine arm of truth. Though I have long outlived my peers, And stand amid the world alone, (A stranger left by former years), I know my God,--by Him am known. Cast me not off in mine old age, Forsake me not in my last hour; The foe hath not foregone his rage, The lion ravins to devour. Not far, my God, not far remove: Sin and the world still spread their snares, Stand by me now, or they will prove Too crafty yet for my grey hairs. Me through what troubles hast Thou brought, Me with what consolations crown'd! Now be Thy last deliverance wrought, My soul in peace with Thee be found. Scripture: Psalm 71 Languages: English

"Nearer"

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: Laudes Domini #541 (1890) Topics: Old Age; Old Age First Line: One sweetly solemn thought Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, Nearer my home, to-day, am I Than e'er I've been before. Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be; Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 2 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light 3 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink, And I, to-day, are nearer home, Nearer than now I think. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death. Languages: English

"Immanuel's Land"

Author: Mrs. Anne R. Cousin Hymnal: Laudes Domini #553 (1890) Topics: Old Age; Old Age First Line: The sands of time are sinking Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking; The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morning I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn, awakes. Dark, dark hath been the midnight; But dayspring is at hand, And glory glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 Oh, Christ! he is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love; The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above; There to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time he wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustred by his love; I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth, In Immanuel's land.

The Tender Love a Father Has

Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #103D (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Life Stages Old Age Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has for all his children dear-- such love the Lord bestows on those who worship him in fear. 2 The Lord remembers we are dust, and all our frailty knows; our life is like the tender grass, and as the flower it grows. 3 The flower is withered by the wind that smites with blighting breath; so we are quickly swept away before the blast of death. 4 Unchanging is the love of God, from age to age the same, displayed to all who do his will and reverence his name. 5 Those who his gracious covenant keep the Lord will ever bless; their children's children shall rejoice to see his righteousness.
