Is the God in Whom we trust;

By the blighting winds that pass.

Unto those who fear His Name,
From eternity abiding
To eternity the same.

Shall behold His righteousness;
He will be their strength and refuge,
And their children's children bless. Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: TALMAR

The Lord Has Heard and Answered Prayer
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #210 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer
And saved His people in distress;
This to the coming age declare,
That they His holy Name may bless.
2 The Lord, exalted on His throne,
Looked down from heaven with pitying eye
To still the lowly captive’s moan
And save His people doomed to die.
3 All men in Zion shall declare
His gracious Name with one accord,
When kings and nations gather there
To serve and worship God the Lord.
4 Before my journey is complete
My vigor fails, my years decline;
My God, O spare me, I entreat;
The days of life are wholly Thine.
5 Attend, O Lord, to my desire,
O haste to answer when I pray,
For grief consumes my strength like fire,
My days as smoke pass swift away.
6 O cut not short my life's brief day,
O Thou whose years eternal run,
Thou who didst earth's foundations lay,
Creator of the stars and sun.
7 The earth and heavens shall pass away,
Like vesture worn and laid aside,
But changeless Thou shalt live for aye,
Thy years forever shall abide.
8 Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure,
Thy throne forever is the same;
And to all generations sure
Shall be Thy great memorial Name.
9 Thy servants’ children shall remain
Forevermore before Thy face;
Enduring honor they shall gain,
Established ever in Thy grace. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: REST

The Tender Love a Father Has
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #217 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
For all his children dear,
Such love the Lord bestows on them
Who worship Him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
And all our frailty knows;
Man’s days are like the tender grass,
And as the flower he grows.
3 The flower is withered by the wind
That smites with blighting breath;
So man is quickly swept away
Before the blast of death.
4 Unchanging is the love of God,
From age to age the same,
Displayed to all who do His will
And reverence His name.
5 Those who His gracious covenant keep
The Lord will ever bless;
Their children’s children shall rejoice
To see His righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: AVONDALE
The Tender Love a Father Has
Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling-Place
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #183 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place
Through all the ages of our race;
Before the mountains had their birth,
Or even Thou hadst formed the earth,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To everlasting our abode.
2 At Thy command man fades and dies
And newborn generations rise;
A thousand years are passed away,
And all to Thee are but a day;
Yea, like the watches of the night,
With Thee the ages wing their flight.
3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath
Before this swelling tide of death;
Like transient sleep his seasons pass,
His life is like the tender grass,
Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun,
And withered ere the day is done.
4 Man in Thy anger is consumed,
And unto grief and sorrow doomed;
Before Thy clear and searching sight
Our secret sins are brought to light;
Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die,
Our life expiring like a sigh.
5 For threescore years and ten we wait,
Or fourscore years if strength be great;
But grief and toil attend life's day,
And soon our spirits fly away;
O who with true and reverent though
Can fear Thy anger as he ought?
6 O teach Thou us to count our days
And set our hearts on wisdom's ways;
Turn, Lord, to us in our distress,
In pity now Thy servants bless;
Let mercy's dawn dispel our night,
And all our day with joy be bright. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling-Place
Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide
Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #455 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide

With Firm Resolve I Held My Peace
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #75 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 With firm resolve I held my peace
And spake not either bad or good,
Lest I should utter sinful thoughts
While wicked men before me stood.
2 While I was dumb my grief was stirred,
My heart grew hot with thought suppressed;
The while I mused the fire increased,
Then to the Lord I made request.
3 Make me, O Lord, to know my end,
Teach me the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am
And turn from pride and sinful ways.
4 My time is nothing in Thy sight,
Behold, my days are but a span;
yea, truly at his best estate,
A breath, a fleeting breath, is man.
5 Man's life is passed in vain desire
If troubled years be spent for gain;
He knows not whose his wealth shall be,
And all his toil is but in vain.
6 And now, O Lord, what wait I for?
I have no nope except in Thee;
Let not ungodly men reproach,
From all transgression set me free.
7 Because Thou didst it I was dumb,
I spoke no word of rash complaint;
Remove Thy stroke away from me,
Beneath Thy chastisement I faint.
8 When Thou for his iniquity
Rebukest and correctest man,
His beauty is consumed away;
How weak his strength, how vain his plan.
9 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry;
I weep; be Thou my Comforter.
I am a stranger here below,
A pilgrim as my fathers were.
10 O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath,
Deal gently with me, I implore,
That I may yet recover strength
Ere I go hence and be no more. Scripture: Psalm 39 Languages: English Tune Title: BERA
With Firm Resolve I Held My Peace
Dust to Dust, the Mortal Dies
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #97 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Dust to dust, the mortal dies,
Both the foolish and the wise;
None forever can remain,
Each must leave his hoarded gain.
Yet within their heart they say
That their houses are for aye,
That their dwelling places grand
Shall for generations stand.
2 To their lands they give their name
In the hope of lasting fame;
But man's honor quickly flies,
Like the lowly beast he dies.
Though such folly mark their way,
Men approve of what they say;
Death their shepherd, they the sheep,
He within his fold will keep.
3 O'er them soon shall rule the just,
All their beauty turn to dust;
God my waiting soul shall save,
He will raise me from the grave.
Let no fear disturb your peace
Though one's house and wealth increase;
Death shall end his fleeting day,
He shall carry naught away.
4 Though in life he wealth attained,
Though the praise of men he gained,
He shall join those gone before,
Where the light shall shine no more.
Crowned with honor though he be,
Highly gifted, strong and free,
If he be not truly wise,
Man is like the beast that dies. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHMAN
Dust to Dust, the Mortal Dies
In Vision to His Saints God Spake
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #181 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake;
From out the people one I take,
A mighty leader, true and brave,
Ordained, exalted, strong to save.
My chosen servant I appoint,
With holy oil his head anoint;
My hand with him shall still remain,
My arm his strength shall well sustain.
2 No enemy shall him affright,
His adversaries I will smite,
My faithfulness to him will prove,
And nevermore My grace remove.
Yea, he shall triumph in My Name,
And great shall be his power and fame,
From sea to sea his mighty hand
Shall hold dominion o'er the land.
3 Thou art my Father, he shall cry,
My God, my rock of refuge high;
My firstborn son shall he be owned,
Above the kings of earth enthroned.
For him My mercy shall endure,
My covenant made with him is sure;
His throne and race I will maintain
Forever, while the heavens remain.
4 Should sons of his My laws forsake,
My just commands and statues break,
Then, though My rod their sins reprove,
My mercy I will not remove.
Though they be chastened sore and tried,
My faithfulness shall yet abide;
My plighted word I will not break,
Nor change the promise that I spake.
5 My oath is steadfast, ever sure,
My servant's race shall still endure;
His throne forever firm shall stay
When sun and moon have passed away.
On Thy anointed wrath is poured
As if Thy covenant were abhorred;
Thou hast profaned his kingly crown,
His matchless strength is broken down.
6 He is reproached and spoiled of all,
His enemies upon him fall;
His beauty is consumed away,
Forgotten is his kingly sway.
Cut off in youth, his sacred name
Is covered now with deepest shame;
How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide?
Thy face forever wilt Thou hide?
7 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought;
Hast Thou created man for nought?
What man that lives has power to save
His soul from death, and from the grave?
Where are Thy mercies which of old
Where in Thy promises foretold?
Remember, Lord, the bitter shame
Heaped on Thy own anointed's name.
8 I sing of mercies that endure
Forever builded firm and sure,
Of faithfulness that never dies,
Established changeless in the skies.
Blest be the Lord for evermore,
Whose promise stands from days of yore.
His word is faithful now as then;
Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.

Lord, Through All the Generations
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #185 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, through all the generations
Of the children of our race,
In our fears and tribulations,
Thou hast been our dwelling-place.
Ere the vast and wide creation
By Thy word was cased to be,
Or the mountains held their station,
Thou art God eternally.
2 Each succeeding generation
At Thy mighty word appears;
Thou dost count in time's duration
One day as a thousand years.
Death, with swift and sudden warning,
Calls us from life's dream away,
Like the grass, green in the morning,
Withered ere the close of day.
3 Long the clouds of evil lower;
Bless us now with gladsome days;
Let Thy servants see Thy power,
Let their children learn Thy praise.
On us let the grace and beauty
Of the Lord our God remain,
Strengthen us for noble duty
That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: EMMELAR (RICHARDS)
Lord, Through All the Generations
Thou, O Lord, Art God Alone
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #208 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Thou, O Lord, art God alone;
Everlasting is Thy throne;
Through the ages men shall sing
Praise to heaven's eternal King.
Thou, enthroned above the skies,
Wilt for Zion's help arise;
Let Thy grace to her appear,
For the promised time is near.
2 If with love compassionate
We, Thy servants, mourn her state,
Wilt not Thou, O gracious Lord,
Help in Zion's need afford?
Lord, Thy glory shall appear,
Kings and nations then shall fear;
And Thy Name shall be adored
When Thy Zion is restored.
3 This all ages shall record
For the glory of the Lord;
Thou dost hear the humble prayer,
For the helpless Thou dost care.
Thou eternal art, and great,
Heaven and earth Thou didst create,
Heaven and earth shall pass away,
Changeless Thou shalt live for aye.
4 As one lays a garment by,
Thou wilt change the starry sky
Like a vesture worn and old;
But Thy years shall ne'er be told.
Thou wilt make Thy servants' race
Ever live before Thy face,
And forever at Thy side
Children's children shall abide. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR (ELVEY)
Thou, O Lord, Art God Alone

My soul to Him may take its flight. [Refrain] Tune Title: SAVED BY GRACE
