• [Mzm 3:1] My God, How Many Are My Fears

  My God, how many are my fears! How fast my foes increase! Conspiring my eternal death, They break my present peace. The lying tempter would persuade There’s no relief in Heav’n; And all my swelling sins appear Too big to be forgiv’n. But Thou, my glory and my strength, Shalt on the tempter tread, Shalt silence all my threatening guilt, And raise my drooping head. I cried, and from His holy hill He bowed a listening ear; I called my Father, and my God, And He subdued my fear. He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I woke, and wondered at the grace That guarded my repose. What though the hosts of death and hell All armed against me stood, Terrors no more shall shake my soul; My refuge is my God. Arise, O Lord, fulfill Thy grace, While I Thy glory sing; My God has broke the serpent’s teeth, And death has lost his sting. Salvation to the Lord belongs; His arm alone can save; Blessings attend Thy people here, And reach beyond the grave.

• [Mzm 3:1] O Lord, How Are My Foes Increased

  O Lord, how are my foes increased! Against me many rise; How many say, in vain for help He on his God relies. Thou art my Shield and Glory, Lord, My Savior, O Most High, The Lord from out His holy hill Gives answer when I cry. I laid me down and slept, I waked, Because the Lord sustains; Though many thousands compass me, Unmoved my soul remains. Arise, O Lord; save me, my God; For Thou hast owned my cause; And oft hast beaten down my foes Who scorn Thy righteous laws. Salvation to the Lord belongs, In Him His saints are blest; O let Thy blessing evermore Upon Thy people rest.

I fell asleep, I woke in peace, For He sustained me still. Arise and save, O Lord, For Thou didst smite my foe. Salvation cometh from the Lord; His saints His blessings know.

  Lord, Thou wilt hear me when I pray, I am forever Thine; I fear before Thee all the day, Nor would I dare to sin. And while I rest my weary head, From cares and business free, ’Tis sweet conversing on my bed, With my own heart and Thee. I pay this evening sacrifice: And when my work is done, Great God, my faith and hope relies Upon Thy grace alone. Thus, with my thoughts composed to peace, I’ll give mine eyes to sleep; Thy hand in safety keeps my days, And will my slumbers keep.

  On the good and faithful God has set His love; When they call He sends them blessings from above. Stand in awe, and sin not, bid your heart be still; Through the silent watches think upon His will. Lay upon God’s altar good and loving deeds, And in all things trust Him to supply your needs. Anxious and despairing, many walk in night; But to those that fear Him God will send His light.

  After the midnight, morning will greet us; After the sadness, joy will appear; After the tempest, sunlight will meet us; After the jeering, praise we shall hear. Refrain After the shadows, there will be sunshine; After the frown, the soul-cheering smile; Cling to the Savior, love Him forever; All will be well in a little while.

• [Mzm 30:5] Blasts Of Chill December, The

  The blasts of chill December sound The farewell of the year, And night’s swift shadows gathering round O’ercloud the soul with fear; But rest you well, good Christian men, Nor be of heart forlorn; December’s darkness brings again The Light of Christmas morn. The welcome snow at Christmastide Falls shining from the skies: On village paths and uplands wide All holy-white it lies; It crowns with pearl the oaks and pines, And glitters on the thorn; But purer is the Light that shines On gladsome Christmas morn. At Christmastide the gracious moon Keeps vigil while we sleep, And sheds abroad her light’s sweet boon, On vale and mountain-steep; O’er all the slumbering land descends Her radiancy unshorn; But brighter is the Light, good friends, That shines on Christmas morn. ’Twas when the world was waxing old, And night on Bethlehem lay, The shepherds saw the heavens unfold A light beyond the day; Such glory ne’er had visited A world with sin outworn; But yet more glorious Light is shed On happy Christmas morn. Those shepherds poor, how blest were they The angels’ song to hear! In manger cradle as He lay, To greet their Lord so dear! The Lord of Heaven’s eternal height For us a Child was born; And He, the very Light of light, Shone forth that Christmas morn! Before His infant smile afar, Were driven the hosts of hell; And still in souls that childlike are His guardian love shall dwell: O then rejoice, good Christian men, Nor be of heart forlorn; December’s darkness brings again The Light of Christmas morn.

  Father, to Thee we look in all our sorrow, Thou art the Fountain whence our healing flows; Dark though the night, joy cometh with the morrow; Safely they rest who on Thy love repose. When fond hopes fail and skies are dark before us, When the vain cares that vex our lives increase, Comes with its calm the thought that Thou art o’er us, And we grow quiet, folded in Thy peace. Naught shall affright us, on Thy goodness leaning; Low in the heart faith singeth still her song; Chastened by pain we learn life’s deeper meaning, And in our weakness Thou dost make us strong. Patient, O heart, though heavy be Thy sorrows; Be not cast down, disquieted in vain; Yet shalt thou praise Him, when these darkened furrows, Where now He plougheth, wave with golden grain.

Refrain Angels of Jesus, angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night!

  Joy dawned again on Easter Day, The sun shone out with fairer ray, When, to their longing eyes restored Th’Apostles saw their risen Lord. His risen flesh with radiance glowed; His wounded hands and feet He showed: Those scars their silent witness gave That Christ was risen from the grave. O Jesus, King of gentleness, Do Thou our inmost hearts possess; And we to Thee will ever raise The tribute of our grateful praise.

  Morning light was dawning o’er the distant hills, Banished was the midnight gloom; Silently the angels clad in bright array Came to guard the dear Redeemer’s tomb. Soldiers were affrighted and in terror fled, While the angels roll the stone away. Then with joy proclaiming, “Christ the Lord is ris’n” “See the place where once the Savior lay.” Refrain Joy dispels our sorrow—pleasures banish pain— Earth awakes from winter’s gloom; Easter anthems ringing tell the joyful news “Christ is risen from the tomb.” Loving ones who sought Him at the break of day, Found the angels waiting there; Joy dispelled their sorrow—fear gave way to faith— Hope succeeded all their deep despair. For the angels told them, “Jesus is not here,” But had surely risen as He said. Then with eager footsteps joyfully they tell How that Christ had risen from the dead. Refrain Easter tells its gladness all the year around— Happy birds their tribute bring; Fragrant flowers blooming after winter days Speak to us the joys of coming spring. Earthly pleasures vanish, flowers soon shall fade, But the joy of Easter shall endure. Hope of resurrection never shall grow dim While the Word of God abideth sure. Refrain

Loved ones hoped that He would reign— But their hopes were all in vain, For they saw Him as upon the cross He died. Refrain But there dawned a resurrection morn so fair, When the Savior rose from out the tomb; For the angels came and rolled the stone away, And today is banished all earth’s gloom. The stone before the door was set and firmly sealed— A guard was placed to watch by night and day, For they feared that from the dead He would rise as He had said, Or perchance His own would spirit Him away.

  Slowly, slowly darkening The evening hours roll on; And soon behind the cloud-land Will sink my setting sun. Around my path life’s mysteries Their deepening shadows throw; And as I gaze and ponder, They dark and darker grow.

The great unending future, I cannot pierce its shroud; Yet nothing doubt, nor tremble, God’s bow is on the cloud.

  O God, Thou faithful God, Thou fountain ever flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing, Grant me a healthy frame, And give me, Lord, within, A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by gain. And grant me, Lord, to do, With ready heart and willing, Whate’er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; And do it when I ought, With zeal and joyfulness, And bless the work I’ve wrought, For Thou must give success. Oh, let me never speak What bounds of truth exceedeth; Grant that no idle word From out my mouth proceedeth; And then, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words grant power and grace Lest I offend the weak. If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross When life is dark and cheerless, To overcome my foe With words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. And let me with all men, As far as in me lieth, In peace and friendship live, And if Thy gift supplieth Great wealth and honor fair, Then this refuse me not, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. If Thou a longer life Hast here on earth decreed me; If Thou through many ills To age at length wilt lead me, Thy patience on me shed. Avert all sin and shame And crown my hoary head With honor free from blame. Let me depart this life Confiding in my Savior; Do Thou my soul receive That it may live forever; And let my body have A quiet resting place Within a Christian grave; And let it sleep in peace. And on that solemn day When all the dead are waking, Stretch o’er my grave Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking. Then let me hear Thy voice, Change Thou this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy Name.
