How are thy servants bless;d, O Lord!
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XXIX (1789) Topics: Creation, Preservation, and temporal Blessings God the Guide of his Servants Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants bless'd, O Lord!
How sure is their defence!
Eternal Wisdom is their guide;
Their help, Omnipotence.
2 In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by thy care;
Through burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.
3 When by the dreadful tempest borne,
High on the broken wave,
They know thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save.
4 The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will;
The sea that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.
5 In midst of dangers, fears, and death,
Thy goodness we'll adore,
We praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more

How are thy servants blest, O Lord
O blessed house, that cheerfully receiveth
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #268 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Topics: Beneficence; Blessedness of Believers; Children; Christ Friend of Children; Christ Guest; Love To God and Christ; Marriage and the Household; Parents; Servants Lyrics: 1 O blessed house, that cheerfully receiveth
Thy visits, Jesus Christ, the soul's true friend;
That, far beyond all other guests, believeth
It must to Thee its warmest cheer extend;
Where every heart to Thee is fondly turning,
Where every eye for Thee with pleasure speaks,
Where all to know Thy will are truly yearning,
And every one to do it promptly seeks.
2 O blessed house, where man and wife, united
In Thy true love, have both one heart and mind;
Where both to Thy salvation are invited,
And in Thy doctrine both contentment find;
Where both, to Thee in truth for ever cleaving,
In joy, in grief, make Thee their only stay,
And fondly hope in Thee to be believing,
Both in the good and in the evil day.
3 O blessed house, where little children tender
Are laid upon Thy heart, with hands of prayer,
Thou Friend of children, who wilt freely render
To them more than a mother's loving care;
Where round Thy feet they gather, to Thee clinging,
And hear Thy loving voice most willingly,
And in their songs, Thy hearty praises ringing,
Rejoice in Thee, O blessed Lord, in Thee.
4 O blessed house, where faithful servants, knowing
That all their works are done within Thy sight,
In all their work with holy zeal are glowing
To do alone what Thou esteemest right;
As Thy true servants, in whom Thou delightest,
In meekness willing, by that love constrained
Which shows, in all its works, the least, the brightest,
How in small things great faith may be maintained.
5 O blessed house, the joys of which Thou sharest,
And never art forgot in scenes of joy;
O blessed house, for whose sad wounds Thou carest,
Where all the sick Thy healing power employ;
Until at last the day's work fully ended,
All finally in joyful rapture fly
To that blest house to which Thou hast ascended,
Unto the blessed Father's house on high. Languages: English Tune Title: O BLESSED HOUSE

my guide in doubt and darkness,
my true and living way,
my clear light ever shining,
my dawn of heaven's day.
2 Life of the souls that love him,
may Christ be ours indeed!
The living bread from heaven
on whom our spirits feed,
who died for love of sinners
to bear our guilty load,
and make of life's brief journey
a new Emmaus road.
3 Strength of the wills that serve him,
may Christ be strength to me,
who stilled the storm and tempest,
who calmed the tossing sea,
his Spirit's power to move me,
his will to master mine,
his cross to carry daily
and conquer in his sign.
4 May it be ours to know him
that we may truly love,
and loving, fully serve him
as serve the saints above,
till in that home of glory
with fadeless splendour bright,
we serve in perfect freedom
our strength, our life, our light. Scripture: Matthew 8:23-27 Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

to serve thee to the end;
be thou for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the struggle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2 Oh let me feel thee near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within,
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
oh speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
oh speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee,
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be,
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
oh give me grace to follow
my Saviour and my friend.
