Hosannah with a cheerful sound
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 Hosanna with a cheerful sound
To God's upholding hand!
Ten thousand snares our path surround,
And yet secure we stand.
2 How wondrous is that mighty pow'r
Which form'd us with a word!
And ev'ry day, and ev'ry hour,
We lean upon the Lord.
3 The ev'ning rests our weary head,
And mercy guards the room.
We wake, and we admire the bed
That was not made our tomb.
4 The rising morn cannot assure,
That we shall end the day;
For death stands ready at the door
To take our lives away.
5 God is our Sun, whose daily light
Our joy and safety brings;
Our feeble frame lies safe at night
Beneath his shady wings.
Hosannah with a cheerful sound
Lord of my life! O may thy praise
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 Lord of my life! O may thy praise
Employ my noblest pow'rs,
Whose goodness lengthens out my days,
And fills the circling hours!
2 Preserv'd by thy almighty arm,
I pass the shades of night,
Serene and safe from ev'ry harm,
And see returning light.
3 While many spent the night in sighs,
And restless pains and woes,
In gentle sleep I clos'd my eyes
And undisturb'd repose.
4 When sleep, death's semblance, o'er me spread,
And I unconscious lay;
Thy watchful care was round my bed,
To guard my feeble clay.
5 O let the same almighty care
My waking hours attend;
From ev'ry trespass, ev'ry snare,
My heedless steps defend.
6 Smile on my minutes as they roll,
And guide my future days;
And let thy goodness fill my soul
With gratitude and praise.
Lord of my life! O may thy praise
Awake, my soul! and with the sun
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 890 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul! and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and early rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
2 By influ'nce of the light divine,
Let thy own light to others shine;
Reflect all heav'ns propitious rays,
I ardent love and cheerful praise.
3 Lord! I my vows to thee renew:
Disperse my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with thyself my spirit fill.
4 Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All I design to do or say;
That ll my pow'rs, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.
5 All praise to thee, who safe hast kept,
And hast refresh'd me, while I slept!
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless light partake.
Awake, my soul! and with the sun
All praise to thee, my God! this night
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,047 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Evening Lyrics: 1 All praise to thee, my God! this night,
For all the blessings of the light.
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings!
Beneath thy own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, through thy dear Son,
The ill that I have ever done;
That with the world, myself, and thee,
I, e'er I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
To die, that this frail body may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
All praise to thee, my God! this night
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 657 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Evening Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord hath led me on,
Thus far his pow'r prolongs my days;
And ev'ry ev'ning shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I, perhaps, am near my home:
But he forgives my follies past
And strength supplies for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow of my head:
His ever-watchful eye will keep
Its constant guard around my bed.
4 Faith in his name forbids my fear:
O may thy presence ne’er depart!
And in the morning may I bear
Thy loving kindness on my heart!
Thus far the Lord has led me on
My God, how endless is thy love!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 614 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 My God, how endless is thy love!
Thy gifts are ev'ry ev'ning new;
And morning mercies from above
Gently descend like earthly dew.
2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night,
Great Guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sov'reign word restores the light,
and quickens all my drowsy pow'rs.
3 I yield myself to thy command;
To thee devote my nights and days:
Perpetual blessings from thy hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.
My God, how endless is thy love!
My thoughts, that oft ascend the skies
Author: Watts Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions
My thoughts, that oft ascend the skies
O come, behold a scene of dread
Author: Merrick Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions Scripture: Psalm 46
O come, behold a scene of dread
While sounds of war are heard around
Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 While sounds of war are heard around,
And death and ruin strew the ground:
To thee we look, on thee we call,
The Parent and the Lord of all.
2 Thou, who hast stamp'd on human kind
The image of a heav'n-born mind,
And in a Father’s wide embrace
Hast cherished all the kindred race;
3 O see, with that insatiate rage
Thy sons their impious battles wage;
How spreads destruction like a flood,
And brothers shed their brothers' blood!
4 See guilty passions spring to birth,
And deeds of hell deform the earth;
Whilst righteousness and justice mourn,
And love and pity droop forlorn.
5 Great God! whose pow'rful hand can bind
The raging waves, the furious wind,
O bid the human tempest cease,
And hush the madd'ning world to peace.
6 With rev'rence may each hostile land
Hear and obey that high command,
Thy Son’s blest errand from above:—
“My creatures, live in mutual love!”
While sounds of war are heard around
God, to correct the world
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 God, to correct the world,
In wrath is slow to rise;
But comes at length, in thunder cloth'd,
And darkness veils the skies.
2 His banners, lifted high,
The nations' God declare,
And, stain'd with blood, with terrors mark'd,
Spread wonder and despair.
3 All earthly pomp and pride
Are in his presence lost;
Empires o'erturned, thrones, sceptres, crowns,
In wild confusion tost.
4 While war and wo prevail,
And desolation wide;
In God, the sov'reign Lord of all,
The righteous still confide.
5 Mysterious is the course
Of his tremendous way:
His path is in the trackless winds,
And in the foaming sea.
6 Yet, though now wrapt in clouds,
And from our view conceal'd
The righteous Judge will soon appear,
In majesty reveal'd!
7 He'll curb the lawless pow'r,
The deadly wrath of man;
And all the windings will unfold
Of his own gracious plan.
8 The sons of tyranny,
In ruin shall be hurl'd;
And light, and liberty, and bliss,
Embrace the new-born world.
God, to correct the world
