Eternal Power, whose high abode

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 227 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God, Infinite lengths beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds! 2. Thee, while the first archangel sings, He hides his face behind his wings; And ranks of shining thrones around Fall worshipping, and spread the ground. 3. Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker too! From sin and dust to Thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High. 4. Earth from afar hath heard Thy fame, And men have learned to lisp Thy name: But, O! the glories of Thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind! 5. God is in heaven, and men below; Be short our tunes, our words be few! A solemn reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

O Lord, the Holy Innocents

Author: C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, the holy innocents Laid down for Thee their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for Thee in fire and strife. 2. We wear the cross they wore of old Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus’ sake? 3. O day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus’ sake, A weary war to wage with sin. 4. When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes. 5. Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. 6. With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good humor brighten there, And still do all for Jesus’ sake. 7. There’s not a child so weak and small But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise, That he may do for Jesus’ sake.

O Breath of God, Breathe on Us Now

Author: Alfred H. Vine Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O breath of God, breathe on us now, And move within us while we pray: The Spring of our new life art Thou, The very light of our new day. 2. O strangely art Thou with us, Lord, Neither in height nor depth to seek: In nearness shall Thy voice be heard; Spirit to spirit Thou dost speak. 3. Christ is our Advocate on high; Thou art our Advocate within. O plead the truth, and make reply To every argument of sin. 4. But ah, this faithless heart of mine, The way I know, I know my Guide: Forgive me, O my Friend divine, That I so often turn aside. 5. Be with me when no other friend The mystery of my heart can share; And be Thou known, when fears transcend, By Thy best name of Comforter.

My Song Forever Shall Record

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My song forever shall record the tender mercies of the Lord; your faithfulness will I proclaim, and ev'ry age shall know your name. 2 I sing of mercies that endure, forever builded firm and sure, of faithfulness that never dies, established changeless in the skies. 3 Behold God's truth and grace displayed, for he has faithful cov'nant made, and he has sworn that David's son shall ever sit upon his throne. 4 "For him my mercy shall endure, my cov'nant made with him is sure; his throne and race I will maintain forever, while the heav'ns remain." 5 Almighty God, your lofty throne has justice for its cornerstone, and shining bright before your face are truth and love and boundless grace. 6 With blessing is the nation crowned whose people know the joyful sound; they in the light, O Lord, shall live, the light your face and favor give. 7 Your name with gladness they confess, exalted in your righteousness; their fame and might to you belong, for in your favor they are strong. 8 All glory unto God we yield, the Lord God is our help and shield; all praise and honor we will bring to Israel's Holy One, our King. 9 Blest be the Lord forevermore, whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; blest be his name. Amen! Amen!
