113 114 Y Psalm lxxi. My God, my everlasting Hope, I live upon Thy truth; Thy hands have held my childhood up, And strengthened all my youth. Still hath my life new wonders seen Behold, my days which yet remain, Cast me not off when strength declines, Then, in the history of my age, C.M. Psalm ciii. MY soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great; High as the heavens are raised S.M. His power subdues our sins; Far as the east is from the west, The pity of the Lord, To those that fear His name, Our days are as the grass, If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, But Thy compassions, Lord, 115 MY Psalm xi. Y trust is in the Lord; Why bid me like a bird, Before the fowler flee? The Lord is on His heavenly throne, And He will shield and save His own. 148. The wicked may assail, The tempter sorely try, All Nature's springs be dry; His foes a season here May triumph and prevail; When all their hopes must fail: 116 In His love and in His pity He redeemed them. NOW begin the heavenly theme, Sing aloud to Jesu's Name: Ye, who see the Father's grace Mourning souls, dry up your tears, 7's. Welcome all by sin opprest, Hither, then, your music bring, 117 And Jacob vowed a vow: If God will be with me and keep me in the way that I go, then shall the Lord be my God. GOD of Bethel, by whose hand Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led; Our vows, our prayers, we now present Before Thy throne of grace. God of our fathers, be the God Of their succeeding race. Through each perplexing path of life O spread Thy covering wings around, And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace. C.M. 118 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand And Thou shalt be our chosen God Psalm xc. GOD, our help in ages past, Our shelter from the stormy blast, Under the shadow of Thy throne Before the hills in order stood, A thousand ages in Thy sight Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. C.M. |
