Growing in Grace

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Growth in Grace First Line: Praise to thy name, eternal God Lyrics: 1 Praise to thy name, eternal God, For all the grace thou shed'st abroad; For all thy influence from above, To warm our souls with sacred love: 2 Bless'd be thy hand, which from the skies Brought down this plant of Paradise, And gave its heavenly beauties birth To deck this wilderness of earth. 3 But why does that celestial flower Open, and thrive, and shine no more? Where are its balmy odors fled? And why reclines its beauteous head? 4 Too plain, alas! the langour shews Th' unkindly soil in which it grows; Where the black frost and beating storm Wither, and rend its tender form. 5 Unchanging sun thy beams display, To drive the frost and storms away; Make all thy potent virtues known To cheer a plant so much thy own. 6 And thou, bless'd spirit deign to blow Fresh gales of Heaven on shrubs below; So shall they grow, and breathe abroad A fragrance grateful to our God. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:18 Languages: English

Expectancy of Grace

Hymnal: The Psalter #232 (1912) Topics: Grace Growth in First Line: O Lord, to us Thy mercy show Lyrics: 1 O Lord, to us Thy mercy show, And Thy salvation now bestow; We wait to hear what God will say; Peace to His people He will speak, And to His saints, but let them seek No more in folly's path to stray. 2 His saving help is surely near To those His holy Name that fear; Thus glory dwells in all our land. Now heav'nly truth unites with grace, And righteousness and peace embrace, In full accord they ever stand. 3 Truth springing forth the earth shall crown, And righteousness from heav'n look down, And God on us His goodness shed; Our land shall then with plenty flow, Before Him righteousness shall go, And cause us in His steps to tread. Scripture: Psalm 85 Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA
