How happy are all they who hear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 How happy are all they who hear
true Wisdom's guiding voice;
and who her understanding make
their early, only choice.
2 For she has treasures greater far
than east or west unfold;
and her rewards more precious are
than all their stores of gold.
3 In her right hand she holds to view
a length of happy days;
and riches with great honours joined
are what her left displays.
4 She guides the young with innocence,
in pleasure's paths to tread;
a crown of glory she bestows
upon the hoary head.
5 According as her labours rise,
so her rewards increase;
her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace. Scripture: Proverbs 3:13-17 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN (NEWINGTON) Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, Paraphrase 11, alt.

the same compassion show.

within your Father's shrine;
your years, with changeless virtue crowned,
were all alike divine.

we seek your grace alone,
in every stage of life and death,

When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 999 hymnals Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.

thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
with heedless steps I ran,
thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
and led me up to man.
4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
and not the least a cheerful heart
which tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity to thee,
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 103:1-19 Used With Tune: CONTEMPLATION

with thee began, with thee shall end, the day:
guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
that in this house have called upon thy name.
3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night;
turn thou for us its darkness into light;
from harm and danger keep thy children free,
for dark and light are both alike to thee.
4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life,
our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace. Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Used With Tune: ELLERS

By cool Siloam's shady rill
Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 606 hymnals Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill
how sweet the lily grows!
How sweet the breath beneath the hill
of Sharon's dewy rose!
2 Lo! such the child whose early feet
the paths of peace have trod,
whose secret heart with influence sweet
is upward drawn to God.
3 By cool Siloam's shady rill
the lily must decay,
the rose that blooms beneath the hill
must shortly fade away;
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
of life's maturer age
will shake the soul with sorrow's power
and stormy passion's rage.
5 O thou, whose infant feet were found
within thy Father's shrine,
whose years, with changeless virtue crowned,
were all alike divine,
6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath
we seek thy grace alone,
through every stage of life, and death,
to keep us still thine own. Scripture: Isaiah 40:6-8 Used With Tune: BELMONT

to draw thy people nigh:
O grant us then that cross to love,
and in those arms to die.
3 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
while endless ages run. Scripture: Psalm 90:10 Used With Tune: ST PETER

pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven,
feed me now and evermore.
2 Open now the crystal fountain
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fiery cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through:
strong deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death, and hell's destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side:
songs and praises
I will ever give to thee. Scripture: Exodus 16:1-4 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
Guide me, O thou great Redeemer
