Ye weak inhabitants of clay

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Ye weak inhabitants of clay, Ye trifling insects of a day, Low in your native dust bow down Before th' Eternal's awful throne. 2 Let Lebanon her cedars bring, To blaze before the sov'reign King; And all the beasts, that on it feed, As victims at his altar bleed. 3 Loud let ten thousand trumpets sound, And call remotest nations round, Assembled on the crowded plains, Princes and people, kings and swains. 4 Join'd with the living, let the dead, Rising, the face of earth o'erspread; And, while his praise unites their tongues, Let angels echo back the songs. 5. The drop that from the bucket falls, The dust that hangs upon the scales, Is more to sky and earth and sea, Than all this pomp, great God! to thee.

Why heaves my heart the anxious sigh? Can sovereign goodness be unkind? Am I not safe if God is nigh? 2 He holds all nature in his hand: That gracious hand on which I live, Does life, and time, and death command, And has immortal joys to give. 3 'Tis he supports this fainting frame, On him alone my hopes recline; The wondrous glories of his name, How wide they spread! how bright they shine! 4 Infinite wisdom! boundless power! Unchanging faithfulness and love! Here let me trust, while I adore, Nor from my refuge e'er remove. 5 My God, if thou art mine indeed, Then I have all my heart can crave; A present help in times of need, Still kind to hear, and strong to save. 6 Forgive my doubts, O gracious Lord, And ease the sorrows of my breast; Speak to my heart the healing word, That thou art mine—and I am blest. Scripture: 1 Samuel 30:6

O Jehovah, hear my words

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: God Divine Perfections of Lyrics: 1 O Jehovah, hear my words, To my thoughts attentive be; Hear my cry, my King, my God, I will make my prayer to thee. With the morning light, O Lord, Thou shalt hear my voice arise, And expectant I will bring Prayer as morning sacrifice. 2 Thou, Jehovah, art a God Who delightest not in sin; Evil shall not dwell with thee, Nor the proud thy favor win. Evil doers thou dost hate, Lying tongues thou wilt defeat; God abhors the man who loves Violence and base deceit. 3 In the fulness of thy grace To thy house I will repair; Bowing toward thy holy place, In thy fear to worship there. Lead me in thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make thy way before me plain. 4 False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their thoughts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to naught, Hold them guilty in thy sight, For against thee and thy law They have set themselves to fight. 5 O let all that trust thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by thee. For a blessing from thy store To the righteous thou wilt yield; Thou wilt compass him about With thy favor as a shield. Amen.
