The aged Christian's Prayer and Song; or, old Age, Death, and the Resurrection

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #125 (1790) Topics: Christ our strength and righteousness; Christ our strength and righteousness First Line: God of my childhood, and my youth Lyrics: 1 God of my childhood, and my youth, The guide of all my days, I have declar'd thy heavenly truth, And told thy wondrous ways. 2 Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs, And leave my fainting heart; Who shall sustain my sinking years If God my strength depart? 3 Let me thy power and truth proclaim Before the rising age, And leave a savour of thy name When I shall quit the stage. 4 The land of silence and of death Attends my next remove; Oh may these poor remains of breath Teach the wide world thy love! Pause. 5 Thy righteousness is deep and high, Unsearchable thy deeds; Thy glory spreads beyond the sky, And all my praise exceeds. 6 Oft have I heard thy threatenings roar, And oft endur'd the grief: But when thy hand has prest me sore, Thy grace was my relief. 7 By long experience have I known Thy sovereign power to save; At thy command I venture down Securely to the grave. 8 When I lie buried deep in dust, My flesh shall be thy care; These wither'd limbs with thee I trust To raise them strong and fair.

Plumptre Hymnal: The Hymnbook #145 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ Strength and Refuge Lyrics: 1 O Light, whose beams illumine all From twilight dawn to perfect day, Shine Thou before the shadows fall That lead our wandering feet astray; At morn and eve Thy radiance pour, That youth may love, and age adore. 2 O Way, through whom our souls draw near To yon eternal home of peace, Where perfect love shall cast out fear, And earth's vain toil and wandering cease: In strength or weakness may we see Our heavenward path, O Lord, through Thee. 3 O Truth, before whose shrine we bow, Thou priceless Pearl for all who seek, To Thee our earliest strength we vow, Thy love will bless the pure and meek; When dreams or mists beguile our sight, Turn Thou our darkness into light. 4 O Life, the Well that ever flows To slake the thirst of those that faint, Thy power to bless what seraph knows? Thy joy supreme what words can paint? In earth's last hour of fleeting breath Be Thou our Conqueror over death. Amen. Scripture: John 8:12 Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG

Dependence on God
