O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2 Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
soon bears us all away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
still be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home!
Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE (Croft)
O God, Our Help in Ages Past
The Tender Love a Father Has
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
for all his children dear
such love the Lord bestows on those
who worship him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
and all our frailty knows;
our life is like the tender grass,
and as the flower it grows.
3 The flower is withered by the wind
that smites with blighting breath;
so we are 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 103:13-18 Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

Author: Walter Chambers Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 211 hymnals Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, your great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting nor wasting, you rule day and night;
your justice like mountains high soaring above,
your clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 Life-giving Creator of both great and small,
of all life the maker, the true life of all;
we blossom, then wither like leaves on the tree,
but you are forever, who was and will be.
4 We worship before you, great Father of light,
while angels adore you, all veiling their sight;
our praises we render, O Father, to you,
whom only the splendor of light hides from view.
Scripture: Psalm 65 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
oh, what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge!
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

Thou, O Lord, Art God Alone
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 13 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR (ELVEY)
Thou, O Lord, Art God Alone

that saved a wretch like me!

was blind but now I see.

and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4 When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun. Used With Tune: AMAZING GRACE

Thee We Adore, Eternal Name
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Appears in 371 hymnals Topics: Warning Message Frailty, Uncertainty of Life Lyrics: 1 Thee, we adore, eternal name,
And humbly own to thee,
How feeble is our mortal frame,
What dying worms are we!
2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still,
As months and days increase,
And ev'ry beating pulse we tell,
Leaves but the number less.
3 The year rolls round, and steals away
The breath that first it gave;
Whate'er we do, whate'er we be,
We're trav'ling to the grave.
4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground,
To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around,
To hurry mortals home.
5 Infinite joy, or wretched woe,
Attends on ev'ry breath;
And yet how unconcerned we go,
Upon the brink of death!
6 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense,
To walk this dang'rous road;
And if our souls are hurried hence,
May they be found with God. Scripture: Psalm 39:4 Used With Tune: NEWCASTLE
Thee We Adore, Eternal Name
