O Lord, My God, You Know All My Ways

Author: Paul Wigmore Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my God, you know all my ways, when I sleep and I rise, when I sit or stand; and before any word is upon my tongue you discern it as though I had spoken it. 2 Where can I go to be far from you? In the deepest of caves, in the heights of heaven? If I rise up and fly on the wings of dawn, still your right hand will guide me and hold me fast. 3 O Lord, my God, you created me, in a wonderful way you have fashioned me. Test my spirit and see what is in my heart; lead me on in the way to eternal life. Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: SHEPHERDSWELL

Hope set before us

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Hope in darkness set before us First Line: And be it so, that 'till this hour Lyrics: 1 And be it so, that 'till this hour, We never knew what faith has meant, And, slaves to sin and satan's power, Have never felt these hearts relent. 2 What shall we do? shall we lie down, Sink in despair, and groan and die; And, sunk beneath the almighty's frown, Not glance one cheerful hope on high? 3 Forbid it, Savior! to thy grace As sinners, strangers, we wil come; Among thy saints we ask a place, For in thy mercy there is room. 4 Lord, we believe; O chase away The gloomy clouds of unbelief: Lord, we repent! O let thy ray Dissolve our hearts in sacred grief! 5 Now spread the banner of thy love, And let us know that we are thine, Cheer us with blessings from above,— With all the joys of hope divine.

Bless'd be the everlasting God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Hope in darkness Lyrics: Blest be the everlasting God, The Father of our Lord; Be his abounding mercy praised, His majesty adored. When from the dead he raised his Son, And called him to the sky, He gave our souls a lively hope That they should never die. What though our inbred sins require Our flesh to see the dust, Yet as the Lord our Savior rose, So all his followers must. There's an inheritance divine Reserved against that day; 'Tis uncorrupted, undefiled, And cannot waste away. Saints by the power of God are kept Till the salvation come; We walk by faith as strangers here, Till Christ shall call us home. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-5
Bless'd be the everlasting God
