The Seasons of the Year

Appears in 287 hymnals Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: With songs and honours sounding loud Lyrics: 1 With songs and honuors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heavens he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends his showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 He gives the grazing ox his meat, He hears the ravens cry; But man who tastes his finest wheat, Should raise his honours high. 4 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 6 When from the dreadful stores on high He pours the sounding hail, The wretch that dares his God defy Shall find his courage fail. 7 He sends his word and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 8 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honours sounding loud Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147:7-9

Life, Death, and the Resurrection

Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: Think, mighty God, on feeble man Lyrics: 1 Think, mighty God, on feeble man, How few his hours, how short his span! Short from the cradle to the grave: Who can secure his vital breath Against the bold demands of death With skill to fly, or power to save? 2 Lord, shall it be forever said, "The race of man was only made "For sickness, sorrow, and the dust?" Are not thy servants day by day Sent to their graves and turn'd to clay? Lord, where's thy kindness to the just? 3 Hast thou not promis'd to thy son And all his seed a heavenly crown? But flesh and sense indulge dispair; Forever blessed be the Lord, That faith can read his holy word, And find a resurrection there. 4 Forever blessed be the Lord, Who gives his saints a long reward, For all their toil, reproach and pain; Let all below, and all above, Join to proclaim thy wondrous love, And each repeat their loud Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 3,388 hymnals Topics: Sea Storms at Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.

The Greatness of God in Nature

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: The Sea First Line: My soul, bless the Lord! Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic His state; The light is His garment, the skies are His shade, And over the waters His courts He has laid. 2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, The lightning and wind His mission perform; The earth He has founded her station to keep, And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3 O'er mountain and plain the dark waters raged; His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged; Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound, Forbidding the waters to cover the ground. 4 He causes the springs of water to flow In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below; Beside them with singing the birds greet the day. And there the beast gather their thirst to allay. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: LYONS

The Sovereign of the Sea

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Sea First Line: They that traffic on the sea Lyrics: 1 They that traffic on the sea, While unceasing watch they keep, See Jehovah's majesty And His wonders in the deep; For He bids the storm-wind fly, Lifting ocean's waves on high. 2 By the billows heav'n-ward tossed, Down to dreadful depths again, Troubled much, their courage lost, Reeling, they like drunken men Find their skill and pow'r o'erthrown; None can save but God alone. 3 To Jehovah then they cry In their trouble, and He saves, Drives the darkness from the sky, Calms the storm and stills the waves, Makes their sad forebodings cease, To their haven guides in peace. 4 Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord Who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Praise Him where the people meet, Praise Him in the elders' seat. Scripture: Psalm 107 Used With Tune: ROSEFIELD
