Author: L. H. Sigourney Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 God of the year! with songs of praise And hearts of love, we come to bless Thy bounteous hand, for thou hast shed Thy manna o'er our wilderness. 2 In early spring-time thou didst fling O'er earth its robe of blossoming; And its sweet treasures, day by day, Rose quickening in thy blessed ray. 3 God of the seasons! thou hast blest The land with sunlight and with showers, And plenty o'er its bosom smiles To crown the sweet autumnal hours. 4 Praise, praise to thee! our hearts expand To view these blessings of thy hand, And on the incense-breath of love Ascend to their bright home above.

Psalm 46 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Church its safety in national desolations; God our refuge in national troubles; National desolations, the church's safety and triumph in them; Safety and triumph of the church in national desolations; Triumph and safety of the church in national desolations First Line: Let Zion in her King rejoice Lyrics: Let Zion in her King rejoice; Though tyrants rage, and kingdoms rise, He utters his almighty voice, The nations melt, the tumult dies. The Lord of old for Jacob fought, And Jacob's God is still our aid: Behold the works his hand has wrought, What desolations he has made! From sea to sea, through all the shores, He makes the noise of battle cease; When from on high his thunder roars, He awes the trembling world to peace. He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear Chariots he burns with heav'nly flame; Keep silence, all the earth, and hear The sound and glory of his name. "Be still, and learn that I am God; I'll be exalted o'er the lands; I will be known and feared abroad; But still my throne in Zion stands." O Lord of hosts, Almighty King, While we so near thy presence dwell, Our faith shall sit secure, and sing Defiance to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 46

Thou, Lord, hast proved and tested us As silver tried by fire Thy hand has made our burden great And thwarted our desire 2 Thro' pain and trouble Thou hast led, And humbled all our pride; But, in the end, to liberty And wealth Thy hand did guide. Here in Thy house I give to Thee The life that Thou dost bless, And pay the solemn vows I made When I was in distress. 3 Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear What He has done for me; My cry for help is turned to praise, For He has set me free. If in my heart I sin regard, My prayer He will not hear; But truly God has heard my voice, My prayer has reached His ear. 4 O let the Lord, our gracious God, Forever blessed be, Who has not turned my prayer from Him, Nor yet His grace from me. O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life, And steadfast makes our ways. Scripture: Psalm 66 Used With Tune: ANCYRA

Safe upon the billowy deep

Author: Henry Coppée Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools National Days Lyrics: Safe upon the billowy deep, Loving Lord, thy servants keep; Helpless, trusting pilgrims they, Guard them on their watery way. In the morning fill their sails, Mid the dark send favouring gales; If their sky be overcast, Calm the waves, and still the blast. Let thy sunshine guide by day; Send at eve the starry ray; Through the watches of the night, Be thou, Lord, their shining light. Thus, as hour by hour rolls by, Watch them with thy sleepless eye: Guide with thine almighty hand Safe unto the haven-land. 380 And at last, life's voyage o'er, Take us to the heavenly shore, Safe in port, to dwell with thee Where there shall be "no more sea." Amen. Used With Tune: LEW TRENCHARD
