O God, Whose Smile Is in the Sky
Author: John H. Holmes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4939 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O God, whose smile is in the sky,
Whose path is in the sea,
Once more from earth’s tumultuous strife
We gladly turn to Thee.
2. Now all the myriad sounds of earth
In solemn stillness die;
While wind and wave unite to chant
Their anthem to the sky.
3. We come as those with toil far spent
Who crave Thy rest and peace,
And from the care and fret of life
Would find in Thee release.
4. O Father, soothe all troubled thought,
Dispel all idle fear,
Purge Thou each heart of secret sin,
And banish ev’ry care.
5. Until, as shine upon the sea
The silent stars above,
There shines upon our trusting souls
The light of Thine own love. Languages: English Tune Title: DENNY
O God, Whose Smile Is in the Sky
O God, Who Workest Hitherto
Author: Thomas W. Freckleton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4941 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O God, who workest hitherto,
Working in all we see,
Fain we would be, and bear, and do,
As best it pleaseth Thee.
2. The toil of brain, or heart, or hand,
Is man’s appointed lot;
He who Thy call can understand
Will work, and murmur not.
3. Where’er Thou sendest we will go,
Nor any question ask,
And what Thou biddest we will do,
Whatever be the task.
4. Our skill of hand and strength of limb
Are not our own, but Thine;
We link them to the work of Him
Who made all life divine.
5. Our brother-friend, Thy holy Son,
Shared all our lot and strife;
And nobly will our work be done
If molded by His life. Languages: English Tune Title: NORTHREPPS
O God, Who Workest Hitherto
O Holy Ghost, Thy People Bless
Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4962 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Holy Ghost, Thy people bless
Who long to feel Thy might,
And fain would grow in holiness
As children of the light.
2. To Thee we bring, who art the Lord,
Ourselves to be Thy throne;
Let every thought and deed and word
Thy pure dominion own.
3. Life giving Spirit, o’er us move,
As on the formless deep;
Give life and order, light and love,
Where now is death or sleep.
4. Great gift of our ascended King,
His saving truth reveal;
Our tongues inspire His praise to sing,
Our hearts His love to feel.
5. True wind of Heav’n, from south or north,
For joy or chastening, blow;
The garden spices shall spring forth
If Thou wilt bid them flow.
6. O Holy Ghost, of sevenfold might,
All graces come from Thee;
Grant us to know and serve aright
One God in Persons Three. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. TIMOTHY

Our Highest Joys Succeed Our Griefs
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4968 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Our highest joys succeed our griefs,
And peace is born of pain;
Smiles follow bitter blinding tears,
As sunshine follows rain.
2. We gain our rest through weariness,
From bitter draw the sweet:
Strength comes from weakness, hope from fear,
And victory from defeat.
3. We reap where we have sown the seed;
Gain is the fruit of loss;
Life springs from death and, at the end,
The crown succeeds the cross. Languages: English Tune Title: PLYMOUTH
Our Highest Joys Succeed Our Griefs
O How I Love Thy Holy Law
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4971 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O how I love Thy holy law!
’Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.
2. My waking eyes prevent the day
To meditate Thy Word;
My soul with longing melts away
To hear Thy Gospel, Lord.
3. How doth Thy Word my heart engage!
How well employ my tongue!
And in my tiresome pilgrimage,
Yields me a heav’nly song.
4. Am I a stranger or at home,
’Tis my perpetual feast;
Not honey dropping from the comb
So much allures the taste.
5. No treasures so enrich the mind;
Nor shall Thy Word be sold
For loads of silver well refined,
Nor heaps of choicest gold.
6. When nature sinks, and spirits droop,
Thy promises of grace
Are pillars to support my hope,
And there I write Thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: GARDINER
O How I Love Thy Holy Law
O Happy Is the Man Who Hears
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4972 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O happy is the man who hears
Instruction’s warning voice;
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice.
2. For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3. In her right hand she holds to view
A length of happy days;
Riches with splendid honors joined
Are what her left displays.
4. She guides the young with innocence,
In pleasure’s paths to tread,
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
5. According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER (Reinagle)
O Happy Is the Man Who Hears
O Hope of Every Contrite Heart
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4983 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!
2. But what to those who find?
Ah this—nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is
None but His loved ones show.
3. Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our prize will be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now,
And through eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES
O Hope of Every Contrite Heart
O How Can They Look Up to Heaven?
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4986 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O how can they look up to Heaven Lyrics: 1. O how can they look up to Heaven,
And ask for mercy there,
Who never soothed the poor man’s pang,
Nor dried the orphan’s tear?
2. The dread omnipotence of Heaven
We every hour provoke;
Yet still the mercy of our God
Withholds the avenging stroke.
3. And Christ was still the healing friend
Of poverty and pain;
And never did imploring soul
His garment touch in vain.
4. May we with humble effort take
Example from above;
And thence the active lesson learn
Of charity and love!
5. But chiefly be the labor ours
To shade the early plant;
To guard from ignorance and guilt
The infancy of want;
6. To graft the virtues, ere the bud
The canker worm has gnawed,
And teach the rescued child to lisp
Its gratitude to God. Languages: English Tune Title: OLNEY (Gounod)
O How Can They Look Up to Heaven?
O Holy Spirit, Lord of Grace
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler & others Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4991 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Holy Spirit, Lord of grace,
Eternal Fount of love,
Inflame, we pray, our inmost hearts
With fire from Heav’n above.
2. As Thou in bond of love dost join
The Father and the Son,
So fill us all with mutual love,
And knit our hearts in one.
3. All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
While endless ages run. Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' ORDINAL
O Holy Spirit, Lord of Grace
O How the Thought of God Attracts
Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4995 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O how the thought of God attracts
And draws the heart from earth
And sickens it of passing shows
And dissipating mirth!
2. ’Tis not enough to save our souls,
To shun th’eternal fires;
The thought of God will rouse the heart
To more sublime desires.
3. God only is the creature’s home,
Though rough and strait the road;
Yet nothing less can satisfy
The love that longs for God.
4. O utter but the name of God,
Down in your heart of hearts,
And see from the world at once
All tempting light depart!
5. A trusting heart, a yearning eye,
Can win their way above,
If mountains can be moved by faith,
Is there less power in love? Languages: English Tune Title: SAWLEY
