God of my life, through all my days
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 242 hymnals Topics: Believers (See also Christian Saints) Joy of Lyrics: 1. God of my life, through all my days,
My grateful powers shall sound Thy praise;
My song shall wake with opening
And cheer the dark and silent night.
2. When anxious cares would break my rest,
And griefs would tear my throbbing breast,
Thy tuneful praises, raised on high,
Shall check the murmur and the sigh.
3. When death o'er nature shall prevail,
And all the powers of language fail,
Joy through my swimming eyes shall break
And mean the thanks I cannot speak.
4. But O, when that last conflict's o'er,
And I am chained to earth no more,
With what glad accents shall I rise
To join the music of the skies!
5. Soon shall I learn the exalted strains
Which echo through the heavenly plains;
And emulate, with joy unknown,
The glowing seraphs round the throne.
6. The cheerful tribute will I give,
Long as a deathless soul shall live;
A work so sweet, a theme so high,
Demands and crowns eternity.

God of my life, through all my days
O Master, it is good to be
Author: Dean Stanley, 1815-1881 Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Our Joy Lyrics: 1 O Master, it is good to be
High on the mountain here with Thee;
Where stand revealed to mortal gaze
The two great saints of other days,
Who once received on Horeb's height
The eternal laws of truth and right;
Or caught the still small whisper,
higher
Then storm, than earthquake, or than fire.
2 O Master, it is good to be
With Thee, and with Thy faithful three:
Here, where the apostle's heart of rock
Is nerved against temptation's shock;
Here, where the Son of Thunder
The thought that breathes, and word that burns;
Here, where on eagle's wings we move
With him whose last, best creed is love.
3 O Master, it is good to be
Entranced, enwrapt, alone with Thee;
Watching the glistering raiment glow,
Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow,
The human lineaments that shine
Irradiant with a light divine:
Till we too change from grace to grace
Gazing on that transfigured face.
4 O Master, it is good to be
Here on the holy mount with Thee;
When darkling in the depths of night,
When dazzled with excess of light,
We bow before the heavenly voice
That bids bewildered souls rejoice,
Though love wax cold, and faith be dim,
"This is My Son! O hear ye Him!" Used With Tune: STANLEY
O Master, it is good to be

God Everlasting, at Your Word
Author: David Mowbray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: God's Seeing Lyrics: 1 God everlasting, at your word
the hills in splendor rise;
they overshadow human life
whose glory swiftly dies.
2 Our days like dreams come to an end,
our story soon is told,
when strength is spent, and beauty fades,
and bodies have grown old.
3 Teach us, good Lord, to count our days,
to cherish every hour,
to seek your will, to do your work,
and trust your mighty power.
4 Lord, at your hand we have received
the cup of joy and pain;
pour out the fullness of your grace
and we shall sing again! Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 179 hymnals Topics: Believers (See also Christian Saints) Joy of Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where Thou art;
The pasture I languish to find,
Where all who their Shepherd obey
Are fed, on Thy bosom reclined,
And screened from the heat of the day.
2 Ah! show me that happiest place,
The place of Thy people's abode,
Where saints in an ecstasy gaze,
And hang on their crucified Lord;
Thy love for a sinner declare,
Thy passion and death on the tree;
My spirit to Calvary bear,
To suffer and triumph with Thee.
3 'Tis there, with the lambs of Thy flock,
There only, I covet to rest,
To lie at the foot of the rock,
Or rise to be hid in Thy breast;
'Tis there I would always abide,
And never a moment depart;
Concealed in the cleft of Thy side,
Eternally held in Thy heart. Used With Tune: ARABIA
Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine
Worship, and thanks, and blessing
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Worship, and thanks, and blessing,
And strength ascribe to Jesus!
Jesus alone defends His own,
When earth and hell oppress us.
Jesus with joy we witness
Almighty to deliver;
Our seals set to, that God is true,
And reigns a King for ever.
2 Omnipotent Redeemer,
Our ransomed souls adore Thee;
Our Saviour Thou, we find it now,
And give Thee all the glory.
We sing Thine arm unshortened,
Brought through our sore temptation;
With heart and voice in Thee rejoice,
The God of our salvation.
3 Thine arm hath safely brought us
A way no more expected,
Than when Thy sheep passed through the deep,
By crystal walls protected.
Thy glory was our rear-ward,
Thy hand our lives did cover,
And we, even we, have passed the sea,
And marched triumphant over.
4 The world's and Satan's malice
Thou, Jesus, hast confounded;
And, by Thy grace, with songs of praise
Our happy souls resounded.
Accepting our deliverance,
We triumph in Thy favour,
And for the love which now we prove,
Shall praise Thy name for ever. Used With Tune: DELIVERANCE

Look down in love, and hear our humble cry.
2 Thou tender Shepherd of the blood-bought sheep,
Thy feeble wandering flock in safety keep.
3 O gentle Saviour, by Thy death we live;
To contrite sinners life eternal give.
4 Thou art the Bread of heaven, on Thee we feed;
Be near to help our souls in time of need.
5 Thou art the mourner's Stay, the sinner's Friend,
Sweet Fount of joy and blessings without end.
6 O come and cheer us with Thy heavenly grace;
Reveal the brightness of Thy glorious face.
7 In cooling cloud by day, in fire by night,
Be near our steps, and make our darkness light.

In life, in death, our Comfort, Strength, and Guide.

And bring us safely to our home above. Used With Tune: ST. CYRIL
