Author: John Thomson Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, God, thy gracious power On every hand we see; O may the blessings of each hour Lead all our thoughts to thee! 2 If on the wings of morn we speed To earth's remotest bound. Thy hand will there our footsteps lead, Thy love our path surround. 3 How good thou art! how large thy grace! How ready to forgive! Thy mercies crown our fleeting days, And by thy love we live. 4 Thy power is in the ocean deeps, And reaches to the skies; Thine eye of mercy never sleeps, Thy goodness never dies. 5 From morn till noon till latest eve, Thy hand, O God, we see; And all the blessings we receive Proceed alone from thee.

Abashed Be All The Boast Of Age!

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Abashed be all the boast of age! Be hoary learning dumb! Expounder of the mystic page, Behold an infant come! 2 Oh, Wisdom, whose unfading power Beside th’Eternal stood, To frame, in nature’s earliest hour, The land, the sky the flood; 3 Yet didst not Thou disdain awhile An infant form to wear; To bless Thy mother with a smile, And lisp Thy faltered prayer. 4 But, in Thy Father’s own abode, With Israel’s elders round, Conversing high with Israel’s God, Thy chiefest joy was found. 5 So may our youth adore Thy name! And Savior, deign to bless With fostering grace the timid flame Of early holiness.
