So fades the lovely blooming flow'r

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 138 hymnals Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely blooming flow’r, Frail, smiling solace of an hour; So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. 2 Is there no kind, no healing art, To soothe the anguish of the heart? Spirit of grace, be ever nigh; Thy comforts are not made to die. 3 Let gentle patience smile on pain, Till dying hope revives again, Hope wipes the tear from sorrow’s eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

Bless'd Is the Man

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 103 hymnals First Line: Bless'd is the man, forever bless'd Lyrics: 1 Bless'd is the man, forever bless'd, whose guilt is pardoned by his God; whose sins with sorrow are confessed and covered with his Savior's blood. 2 Bless'd is the man to whom the LORD imputes not his iniquities; he pleads no merit of reward and not on works, but grace relies. 3 From guile his heart and lips are free; his humble joy, his holy fear, with deep repentance well agree and join to prove his faith sincere. 4 How glorious is that righteousness that hides and cancels all his sins, while bright the evidence of grace through his whole life appears and shines!

O Christ, the Healer, We Have Come

How can we fail to be restored, when reached by love that never ends? 2 From ev'ry ailment flesh endures our bodies clamor to be freed; yet in our hearts we would confess that wholeness is our deepest need. 3 In conflicts that destroy our health we recognize the world's disease; our common life declares our ills. Is there no cure, O Christ, for these? 4 Grant that we all, made one in faith, in your community may find the wholeness that, enriching us, shall reach the whole of human-kind.

O LORD, Thou Judge of All the Earth

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O LORD, Thou Judge of all the earth, to whom all vengeance doth belong, arise and show Thy glory forth, requite the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O LORD, in boastful pride shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict Thy saints and scorn Thy wrath, Thy dreadful hand? 3 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; shall not He see who formed the eye? Shall not He hear who formed the ear, and judge, who reigneth God most high? 4 The LORD will judge in righteousness, from Him all truth and knowledge flow; the foolish thoughts of wicked men, how vain they are the LORD doth know. 5 That man is blest whom thou, O LORD, with chastening hand dost teach Thy will, for in the day when sinners fall that man in peace abideth still. 6 Unless the LORD had been my Help, my life had quickly passed away; but when my foot had almost slipped, O LORD, Thy mercy was my stay. 7 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, LORD, bring joy to me; can wickedness, though throned in might, have fellowship, O LORD, with Thee? 8 The wicked, in their might arrayed, against the righteous join their pow'r, but to the LORD I flee for help; He is my Refuge and my Tow'r.
