Oh, why are you cast down, my soul?
Author: Wm. Rinehart Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #730 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Oh, why art thou cast down, my soul?
Why sunk within me so?
Hope thou in God--he is thy Guide
And Guardian here below.
2 Has not the Saviour died for thee,
And shed his precious blood?
Has he not groaned on Calvary,
To bring thee home to God?
3 Then why art thou cast down, my soul?
Shake off thy gloomy fears;
Thy toils and conflicts soon shall end
In this dark vale of tears.
4 What though the powers of earth and hell
Against thee should combine?
Amidst thy conflicts, O my soul,
A glorious hope is thine.
5 This world and all created things
In ruins soon shall lie;
But thou, my soul, shalt dwell secure,
Beyond the starry sky.
6 There thou shalt rest with Christ above,
Where he, eternal, reigns,
And ever sing redeeming love
With sweet, angelic strains.
Oh, why are you cast down, my soul?
Thy presence, everlasting God
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #740 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family Changes Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, everlasting God,
Wide o'er all nature spreads abroad:
Thy watchful eyes, which can not sleep,
In every place thy children keep.
2 While near each other we remain,
Thou dost our lives and souls sustain;
When sep'rate, happy if we share
Thy smiles, thy counsels, and thy care.
3 To thee we all our ways commit,
And seek our comforts near thy feet;
Still on our souls vouchsafe to shine,
And guard and guide us still as thine.
4 Give us in thy beloved house
Again to pay our grateful vows;
Or, if that joy no more be known,
Give us to meet around thy throne. Scripture: Psalm 139:7
Thy presence, everlasting God
Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #742 (1873) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill
The closing buds on Zion's hill,
When evening clouds draw thither;
So sweet, so heavenly 'tis to see
The members of one family
Live peacefully together!
2 The children, like the lily flowers
On which descend the sun and showers,
Their hues of beauty blending;
The parents, like the willow boughs
On which the lovely foliage grows,
Their friendly shade extending.
3 But leaves the greenest will decay,
And flowers the brightest fade away,
When autumn winds are sweeping;
And be the household e'er so fair,
The hand of death will soon be there,
And turn the scene to weeping.
4 Yet leaves again will clothe the trees,
And lilies wave beneath the breeze,
When spring comes smiling hither;
And friends, who parted at the tomb,
May yet renew their loveliest bloom,
And meet in heaven together.
Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill
Remark, my soul, the narrow bounds
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #553 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Remark, my soul, the narrow bound
Of each revolving year;
How swift the weeks complete their round!
How short the months appear!
2 So fast eternity comes on,
And that important day
When all that mortal life hath done
God's judgment shall survey.
3 Awake, O God, my careless heart
Its great concerns to see,
That I may act the Christian's part,
And give the years to thee. Tune Title: WARWICK
Remark, my soul, the narrow bounds
Softly fades the twilight ray
Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #564 (1886) Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray
Of the holy Sabbath-day,
Gently as life's setting sun
When the Christian's course is run.
2 Night her solemn mantle spreads
O'er the earth as daylight fades,
All things tell of calm repose
At the holy Sabbath's close.
3 Peace is on the world abroad;
'Tis the holy peace of God,
Symbol of the peace within
When the spirit rests from sin.
4 Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshiper
Seeks communion with the skies,
Pressing onward to the prize.
5 Saviour, may our Sabbaths be
Days of joy and peace in thee,
Till in heaven our souls repose,
Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close. Tune Title: MERCY
Softly fades the twilight ray
Oh, what stupendous mercy shines
Author: Rippon Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #756 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family Widowhood and Orphanage Lyrics: 1 Oh, what stupendous mercy shines
Around the majesty of heaven!
Rebels he deigns to call his sons--
Their souls renewed, their sins forgiven.
2 Go, imitate the grace divine--
The grace that blazes like a sun;
Hold forth your fair, though feeble light,
Through all your lives let mercy run.
3 Upon your bounty's willing wings
Swift let the great salvation fly;
The hungry feed, the naked clothe;
To pain and sickness help apply.
4 Pity the weeping widow's woe,
And be her counselor and stay;
Adopt the fatherless, and smoothe
To useful, happy life, his way.
5 When all is done, renounce your deeds,
Renounce self-righteousness with scorn:
Thus will you glorify your God,
And thus the Christian name adorn.
Oh, what stupendous mercy shines

And breathe thy spirit thro' our deeds;

In Thine arms and at Thy breast;
Through life's desert dark and dreary

Give them peace, and joy, and love.

And to thy glory live.

Our words and thoughts restrain;
And bow our souls to thy command,
Nor let our faith be vain.

Which shall salvation bring;
When all we are shall own thy power,
And call our Jesus King. Tune Title: WARWICK

With joyous hymns shall blend? Tune Title: BOYSTON
