To heaven I lift my waiting eyes

Appears in 111 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To heaven I lift my waiting eyes. There all my hopes are laid, the Lord that built the earth and skyes is my perpetuahl aid. 2 Their feet shall never slide or fall, whom he designs to keep; His ear attends the softest call, His eyes can never sleep. 3 He will sustain our feeble powers, With his Almighty arm, And watch our most unguarded hours, Against invading harm. 4 Israel rejoice and rest secure, Thy keeper is the Lord; His wakefull eyes employ his pow'r, For thine eternal guard 5 Nor scorching sun, nor sickly moon, Shall have his leave to smile; He shields thy head from burning noon From blasting damps at night. 6 He guards the soul, he keeps thy breath, Where thickest dangers come; Go and return secure from death, Till God commands thee home.

Thy word, O Lord, like gentle dews

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Carl Bernhard Garve, 1763 - 1841 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy word, O Lord, like gentle dews, Falls soft on hearts that pine; Lord, to thy garden ne'er refuse This heavenly balm of thine. Watered by thee, let every tree Then blossom to thy praise, By grace of thine bear fruit divine Through all the coming days. 2 Thy word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns thy word, And pierceth flesh and bone. Let it go forth o'er all the earth To cleanse our hearts within, To show thy power in Satan's hour, And break the might of sin. A-men. 3 Thy word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e'er sink in night, But in each spirit shine, That none may miss heaven's final bliss, Led by thy light divine. Amen. Topics: The Holy Scriptures Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW

O Spirit of the Living God

Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, pure Light and Fire Divine: burn brightly in your church once more, its life and faith refine. Fill it with love and joy and power, with righteousness and peace; till Christ shall dwell in human hearts, and sin and sorrow cease. 2 Blow, Wind of God! With wisdom blow disperse and put to flight the mists of error, clouds of doubt which hide you from our sight. Burn, Winged Fire! Inspire our lips, renew in us your call to preach with zeal your great good news; God's love extends to all. 3 Teach us to utter living words of truth which all may hear, the language all can understand when love speaks loud and clear; Till every nation, age and race shall blend their creeds in one, and all together use their gifts to see your will is done. 4 So shall we know the power of Christ, the strength of love to save, so shall we rise with Christ to life which soars beyond the grave; And earth shall win true holiness, which makes your children whole, and draws us on by grace to reach creation's glorious goal!

O Lord, turn not Thy face away

Author: J. Marckant Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, turn not Thy face away From them that lowly lie, Lamenting sore their sinful life, With tears and bitter cry. Thy mercy gates are open wide To them that mourn their sin; O shut them not against us, Lord, But let us enter in. 2 We need not to confess our fault, For surely Thou canst tell; What we have done, and what we are, Thou knowest very well. Wherefore, to beg and to entreat, With tears we come to Thee, As children that have done amiss Fall at their father's knee. 3 And need we, then, O Lord, repeat The blessing which we crave, When Thou dost know, before we speak, The thing that we would have? Mercy, O Lord, we mercy ask, This is the total sum; For mercy, Lord, is all our prayer; O let Thy mercy come!
