O Come, Let Us Sing to the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O come, let us sing to the Lord, to him our voices raise; with joyful noise let us the Rock of our salvation praise. 2 Let us before his presence come with praise and thankful voice; let us sing psalms to him with grace, and make a joyful noise. 3 For God’s a great God and great King; above all gods he is. The depths of earth are in his hand; the heights of hills are his. 4 To him the spacious sea belongs, for he the same did make; the dry land also from his hands its form at first did take. 5 O come, and let us worship him; let us bow down withal, and on our knees before the Lord, our Maker, let us fall.

The Tender Love a Father Has

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has for all his children dear, such love the Lord bestows on them who worship him in fear. 2 The Lord remembers we are dust, and all our frailty knows; man's days are like the tender grass, and as the flow'r he grows. 3 The flow'r is withered by the wind that smites with blighting breath; so man is quickly swept away before the blast of death. 4 Unchanging is the love of God, from age to age the same, displayed to all who do his will and reverence his name. 5 Those who his gracious cov'nant keep the Lord will ever bless; their children's children shall rejoice to see his righteousness.

Naked as from the earth we came

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Naked as from the earth we came, and enter'd life at first; naked we to the earth return, and mix with kindred dust. 2 Whate’er we fondly call our own belongs to heav’n’s great Lord; the blessings lent us for a day are soon to be restor'd. 3 ’Tis God that lifts our comforts high, or sinks them in the grave: he gives; and, when he takes away, he takes but what he gave. Then, ever blessed be his name! his goodness swell'd our store; his justice but resumes its own; ’tis ours still to adore. Scripture: Job 1:21 Used With Tune: CAITHNESS
