Your Word, O Lord, Is Gentle Dew

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Carl B. Garve, 1763-1841 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your Word, O Lord, is gentle dew To suff'ring hearts that want it; Oh, shed your heav'nly balm anew, To all your garden grant it; Refreshed by you, may every tree Bud forth and blossom gaily And fruit and seed bring daily. 2 Your Word is like a flaming sword, A sharp and mighty arrow, A wedge that cleaves the rock; that Word Can pierce through heart and marrow. Oh, send it forth o'er all the earth, To purge unrighteous leaven And cleanse all hearts for heaven. 3 Your Word, a wondrous star, supplies True guidance when we need it; It points to Christ and so makes wise All simple hearts that heed it; Let not its light e'er sink in night, But keep it brightly burning, And fill our deepest yearning.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place, a rest in tribulations, to us, thine own redeemed race, through all our generations. Thou, ere the mountains sprang to birth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth, art God from everlasting. 2 Thou turnest man again to clay; by thee that doom was spoken; as with a torrent borne away, gone like a sleep when broken. A thousand years are in the sight but as a watch amid the night, or yesterday departed. 3 At morn we flourish like the grass, when green and fresh it groweth, which, withered ere the evening pass, the sweeping sickle moweth. Thus do thy chastisements consume our blasted hopes, our early bloom, we fade at thy displeasure. 4 Lo! thou hast set before thine eyes all our misdeeds and errors; our secret sins from darkness rise to thy confronting terrors. At thy rebuke, cut short by death, our life is like the transient breath, that told a bygone story. 5 Our days are three-score years and ten; ten more man's strength may borrow; but if the span be lengthened then that strength is toil and sorrow; for soon arrives the closing hour: but who discern thy fearful power, proportioned to thine anger? 6 Lord, teach us so to count our days, that we may prize them duly, and set our heart on wisdom's ways, that we may praise thee truly. Return, thy servants' griefs behold, and with thy mercy, as of old, O, satisfy us early! 7 restore us comfort for our fears, joy for our long affliction; our children give through changing years increasing benediction. Thy glorious beauty, Lord, reveal; and with thy prospering favour seal thy servants and their labours. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN

Out of the depths I cry to Thee

Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee, Lord, God, O hear my wailing! Thy gracious ear incline to me, And make my prayer availing. On my misdeeds in mercy look, O deign to blot them from Thy book, Or who can stand before Thee? 2 Thy sovereign grace and boundless love, Make Thee, O Lord, forgiving; My purest thoughts and deeds but prove Sin in my heart is living: None guiltless in Thy sight appear; All who approach Thy throne must fear, And humbly trust Thy mercy. 3 Thou canst be merciful while just,-- This is my hope's foundation; On Thy redeeming grace I trust, Grant me, then, thy salvation. Shielded by Thee, I stand secure; Thy word is firm, thy promise sure, And I rely upon Thee. 4 Like those who watch the midnight's hour To hail the dawning morrow, I wait for Thee, I trust Thy power, Unmoved by doubt or sorrow. So let Thy Israel hope in Thee, And he shall find Thy mercy free, And Thy redemption plenteous. 5 Where'er the greatest sins abound, By grace they are exceeded; Thy helping hand is always found With aid where aid is needed; Thy hand, the only hand to save, Will rescue Israel from the grave, And pardon his transgression.

For help, O whither shall I flee?

Author: J. Neander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For help, O whither shall I flee? Who now to peace will guide me? To none, dear Savior, but to Thee, Can I with hope confide me. 'Tis Thine to give the weary rest, The mourning soul in Thee is blest,-- Help, Jesus, the afflicted! 2 My sin, O Lord, is now my grief, Against my will it rages: Thy grace alone an bring relief, While sin its warfare wages, All that I need is known to Thee, And now a part myself can see,-- Help, Jesus, the sin-burdened! 3 Good Shepherd, bearest Thou the weak? Sustain me in my weakness! Thou great Physician of the sick, Heal Thou my moral sickness! A prey to death I helpless fall,-- For health and strength to Thee I call, Save, Jesus, or I perish! 4 To those who trust Thee--"Nothing fear? I am the life!"--Thou criest; Seeks not my soul, with strong desire, The life which Thou suppliest? Though all my sorrows Thou canst lead, In death provide for every need-- Help, Jesus, the confiding. 5 I would do good, but still I fail,-- Must I thus always waver? What grief it gives Thou knowest well. Who shall my soul deliver, And set the salve for ever free From sin and death to live with Thee?-- I thank Thee, God, through Jesus!
