"Eben-ezer"
Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #370 (1890) Topics: Growth in Grace; Growth in Grace First Line: Come, thou Fount of every blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise;
Teaching me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it!
Mount of thy redeeming love.
2 Here I'll raise mine Eben-ezer;
Hither by thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee;
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; oh, take and seal it;
Seal it for thy courts above. Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #459 (1890) Topics: Growth in Grace; Growth in Grace First Line: Like the eagle, upward, onward Lyrics: 1 Like the eagle, upward, onward,
Let my soul in faith be borne:
Calmly gazing, skyward, sunward,
Let my eye unshrinking turn!
2 Where the cross, God's love revealing,
Sets the fettered spirit free,
Where it sheds its wondrous healing,
There, my soul, thy rest shall be!
3 Oh, may I no longer, dreaming;
Idly waste my golden day,
But, each precious hour redeeming,
Upward, upward, press my way!

Make and keep it all thine own;

This proud heart of sin and stone.

Fond of peace and far from strife;
Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life.
3 Ever let thy grace surround me,
Strengthen me with power divine,
Till thy cords of love have bound me:
Make me to be wholly thine.
5 May the blood of Jesus heal me,
And my sins be all forgiven;
Holy Spirit, take and seal me,
Guide me in the path to heaven. Languages: English

God's will is done.

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.

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

From sin restrains his feet,
Who will not stand with wicked men,
Who shuns the scorners' seat.

His portion and delight,
And meditates upon that law
With gladness day and night.

Set by the rivers' side;
Its leaf is green, its fruit is sure,
And thus his works abide.
4 The wicked like the driven chaff
Are swept from off the land;
They shall not gather with the just,
Nor in the judgment stand.
5 The Lord will guard the righteous well,
Their way to Him is known;
The way of sinners, far from God,
Shall surely be o'erthrown. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English Tune Title: MEDITATION
