• [Gen 1:1] Creator Of The Earth And Sky

  Creator of the earth and sky, Ruling the firmament on high, Clothing the day with robes of light, Blessing with gracious sleep the night. That rest may comfort weary men, And brace to useful toil again, And soothe awhile the harassed mind, And sorrow’s heavy load unbind. Day sinks; we thank Thee for Thy gift; Night comes; and once again we lift Our prayer and vows and hymns that we Against all ills may shielded be. Thee let the secret heart acclaim, Thee let our tuneful voices name, Round Thee our chaste affections cling Thee sober reason own as King. That when black darkness closes day, And shadows thicken round our way, Faith may no darkness know, and night From faith’s clear beam may borrow light. Rest not, my heaven born mind and will; Rest, all the thoughts and deeds of ill; May faith its watch unwearied keep, And cool the dreaming warmth of sleep. From cheats of sense, Lord, keep me free; And let my heart’s depth dream of Thee; Let not my envious foe draw near, To break my rest with any fear. Pray we the Father and the Son, And Holy Ghost: O Three in One, Blest Trinity, whom all obey, Guard Thou Thy sheep by night and day.

• [Gen 1:1] Eternal God, Mover Unmoved

  Eternal God, mover unmoved, Your frightful power was greatly proved When you made all from naught. You formed man in your image bright. You spared our parents no delight And all your world was good and right While your just will man sought. A foe more ancient than the earth, Who reached for your high place of worth, Then launched his fatal plan. And though your law was only one, Eve took and ate, and having done, Bade Adam eat, and in that one All died, and so fell man. Our foe was pleased, but could not tell Your plan of grace for man who fell, Nor measure your design. For so to point to future grace, You set apart a holy race Through faith in what would soon take place, Though veiled with law and sign. You willed for slaughtered lambs to show The way in which your Lamb would go When ransoming his own. For though in one man, mankind fell, This second Adam conquered Hell, And rising, conquered death as well, Then reassumed His throne. Thus while your children war below With flesh and with our ancient foe, Our victory is sure. For you will come with trump and light, And end what’s left of Satan’s might, And take us home for your delight, Eternally secure.

  God, that madest earth and Heaven, darkness and light; Who the day for toil hast given, for rest the night; May Thine angel guards defend us, Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us; Holy dreams and hopes attend us, all through the night. And when morn again shall call us, to run life’s way, May we still, whatever befall us, Thy will obey. From the power of evil hide us, In the narrow pathway guide us, Nor Thy smile be ever denied us all through the day.

  O Lord, be with us when we sail Upon the lonely deep, Our Guard, when on the silent deck The midnight watch we keep. We need not fear, though all around ’Mid rising winds we hear The multitude of waters surge; For Thou, O God, art near. The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm, That pass from land to land, All, all are Thine, are held within The hollow of Thy hand. If duty calls from threatened strife To guard our native shore, And shot and shell are answering The booming cannon’s roar, Be Thou the Mainguard of our host, Till war and dangers cease; Defend the right, put up the sword, And through the world make peace. Across this troubled tide of life Thyself our Pilot be, Until we reach that better land, The land that knows no sea. To Thee the Father, Thee the Son, Whom earth and sky adore, And Spirit moving on the deep, Be praise forevermore.

• [Gen 1:27] On Man, In His Own Image Made

  On man, in his own image made, How much did God bestow? The whole creation homage paid, And owned him lord, below! He dwelt in Eden’s garden, stored With sweets for every sense; And there with his descending Lord He walked in confidence. But O! by sin how quickly changed! His honor forfeited, His heart, from God and truth, estranged, His conscience filled with dread! Now from his Maker’s voice he flees, Which was before his joy: And thinks to hide, amidst the trees, From an all seeing eye. Compelled to answer to his name, With stubbornness and pride He cast, on God Himself, the blame, Nor once for mercy cried. But grace, unasked, his heart subdued And all his guilt forgave; By faith, the promised seed he viewed, And felt His pow’r to save. Thus we ourselves would justify, Though we the law transgress; Like him, unable to deny, Unwilling to confess. But when by faith the sinner sees A pardon bought with blood; Then he forsakes his foolish pleas, And gladly turns to God.

  Refrain All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. Refrain [Most hymnals omit the following verse] The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, He made them, high or lowly, And ordered their estate. Refrain The purple headed mountains, The river running by, The sunset and the morning That brightens up the sky. Refrain The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one. Refrain The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, To gather every day. Refrain He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. Refrain

  Oh how fair that morning broke, When in Eden man awoke! Beast and bird and insect bright Reveled in the gladsome light; God looked down from Heav’n above, All was life and joy and love. Ah! the doleful change when sin Darkly, subtly entered in! War and pestilence and dearth Mar and sadden God’s fair earth; Human sorrow fills the air; Death is reigning everywhere. Yet rejoice; for God on high Hath not left His world to die! God’s dear Son, with dying breath, Broke the power of sin and death; Christ the Tempter overthrew, Christ is making all things new. Lord, in me be sin subdued, So may I with heart renewed, Fight the fight and run the race, Work in my appointed place, Waiting for the glad new birth Of Thy perfect Heav’n and earth.

  Six days of labor now are past; Thou restest, Holy God; And of Thy finished work has said, That all is very good. Yet while the seventh day is blessed, Hallowed for rest divine, Behold, a new creation needs That mighty power of Thine. Ten thousands voices praise Thy Name In earth and sea and sky; One sinner by his sin has marred The blissful harmony. O Lord, create man’s heart anew, The heart of stone remove: Then hymns of praise again shall rise, The fruits of holy love. O for the songs that Thou wilt bless, Where heart and voice agree; O for the prayers that plead aright With Thy dread majesty. All praise to God, the Three in One, Who high in glory reigns; Who by His Word hath all things made, And by His Word sustains.

Late at even there was seen Watching long the Magdalene; Early, ere the break of day, Sorrowful she took her way To the holy garden glade, Where her buried Lord was laid.

Refrain Now let good Christians all begin A holier life to live, And to rejoice and merry be, For this is Christmas Eve.

Refrain Which promise now is brought to pass: Christians, believe it well: And by the death of God’s dear Son, We are redeemed from hell. So if we truly do believe, And do the thing that’s right, Then by His merits we at last Shall live in Heaven bright.

  When Adam fell, he quickly lost God’s image, which he once possessed: See all our nature since could boast In Cain, his first-born son, expressed! The sacrifice the Lord ordained In type of the Redeemer’s blood, Self-righteous reasoning Cain disdained, And thought his own first-fruits as good. Yet rage and envy filled his mind, When, with a fallen, downcast look, He saw his brother favor find, Who God’s appointed method took. By Cain’s own hand, good Abel died, Because the Lord approved his faith; And, when his blood for vengeance cried, He vainly thought to hide his death. Such was the wicked murderer Cain, And such by nature still are we, Until by grace we’re born again, Malicious, blind and proud, as he. Like him the way of grace we slight, And in our own devices trust; Call evil good, and darkness light, And hate and persecute the just. The saints, in every age and place, Have found this history fulfilled; The numbers all our thoughts surpass Of Abels, whom the Cains have killed! Thus Jesus fell—but O! His blood Far better things than Abel’s cries: Obtains His murderers peace with God, And gains them mansions in the skies.

Then linger not in all the plain, Flee for thy life, the mountain gain; Look not behind, make no delay, O speed thee, speed thee on thy way! Poor, lost, benighted soul! art thou Wiling to find salvation now? There yet is hope; hear mercy’s call: Truth! Life! Light! Way! in Christ is all!

• [Gen 21:19] Open Mine Eyes

  Open mine eyes, dear Savior, I thirst in the noontide heat, I pine for refreshing waters That murmur so cool and sweet. Refrain Open mine eyes, dear Savior, now, Open mine eyes to see The well of Thy full salvation That sparkles and flows for me. Open mine eyes, dear Savior, I faint ’neath the burning sky, And here, in a lonely desert, For water in vain I cry. Refrain Open mine eyes, dear Savior, I know that the well is near; But O that my strength were stronger, Its mission more bright and clear. Refrain Whence is the voice that calleth? And what do mine eyes behold? O Savior, my prayer is answered, ’Tis answered a hundred fold. Praise to Thy Name, dear Savior mine, Joyfully now I see The well of Thy full salvation That sparkles and flows for me.

• [Gen 22:8] Though Troubles Assail Us

  Though troubles assail us and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail us and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, “The Lord will provide.” The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed; From them let us learn to trust God for our bread. His saints what is fitting shall ne’er be denied So long as ’tis written, “The Lord will provide.” When Satan assails us to stop up our path, And courage all fails us, we triumph by faith. He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, This heart cheering promise, “The Lord will provide.” He tells us we’re weak, our hope is in vain, The good that we seek we never shall obtain, But when such suggestions, our graces have tried, This answers all questions, “The Lord will provide.” No strength of our own and no goodness we claim; Yet, since we have known of the Savior’s great Name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide: The Lord is our power, “The Lord will provide.” When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of His grace shall comfort us through, Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, “The Lord will provide.”

• [Gen 22:13] The Saints Should Never Be Dismayed

  The saints should never be dismayed, Nor sink in hopeless fear; For when they least expect His aid, The Savior will appear. This Abr’am found: he raised the knife; God saw, and said, “Forbear! Yon ram shall yield his meaner life; Behold the victim there.” Once David seemed Saul’s certain prey; But hark! the foe’s at hand; Saul turns his arms another way, To save th’invaded land. When Jonah sunk beneath the wave, He thought to rise no more; But God prepared a fish to save, And bear him to the shore. Blest proofs of power and grace divine, That meet us in His Word! May every deep felt care of mine Be trusted with the Lord. Wait for His seasonable aid, And though it tarry, wait: The promise may be long delayed, But cannot come too late.

• [Gen 27:34] Poor Esau Repented Too Late

  Poor Esau repented too late That once he his birth-right despised; And sold, for a morsel of meat, What could not too highly be prized: How great was his anguish when told, The blessing he sought to obtain, Was gone with the birth-right he sold, And none could recall it again! He stands as a warning to all, Wherever the Gospel shall come; O hasten and yield to the call, While yet for repentance there’s room! Your season will quickly be past, Then hear and obey it today; Lest when you seek mercy at last, The Savior should frown you away. What is it the world can propose? A morsel of meat at the best! For this are you willing to lose A share in the joys of the blest? Its pleasures will speedily end, Its favor and praise are but breath; And what can its profits befriend Your soul in the moment of death? If Jesus for these you despise, And sin to the Savior prefer; In vain your entreaties and cries, When summoned to stand at His bar: How will you His presence abide? What anguish will torture your heart? The saints all enthroned by His side, And you be compelled to depart. Too often, dear Savior, have I Preferred some poor trifle to Thee; How is it Thou dost not deny The blessing and birth-right to me? No better than Esau I am, Though pardon and Heaven be mine; To me belongs nothing but shame, The praise and the glory be Thine.

  Blest hour, when mortal man retires To hold communion with his God; To send to Heaven his warm desires, And listen to the sacred word. Blest hour, when God Himself draws nigh, Well pleased His people’s voice to hear; To hush the penitential sigh, And wipe away the mourner’s tear. Blest hour, for, when the Lord resorts, Foretastes of future bliss are given; And mortals find His earthly courts The house of God, the gate of Heaven. Hail, peaceful hour! supremely blest Amid the hours of worldly care; The hour that yields the spirit rest, That sacred hour, the hour of prayer. And when my hours of prayer are past, And this frail tenement decays, Then may I spend in Heaven at last A never-ending hour of praise.

Disdain, not, Lord, our meaner song, Who praise Thee with a faltering tongue. To Thee may all our thoughts arise A true and ceaseless sacrifice. Being of beings, may our praise Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill! Still may we stand before Thy face, Still hear and do Thy sovereign will. In Thee we move.

  Come, O thou Traveler unknown, Whom still I hold, but cannot see! My company before is gone, And I am left alone with Thee; With Thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. I need not tell Thee who I am, My misery and sin declare; Thyself hast called me by my name, Look on Thy hands, and read it there; But who, I ask Thee, who art Thou? Tell me Thy name, and tell me now. In vain Thou strugglest to get free, I never will unloose my hold! Art Thou the Man that died for me? The secret of Thy love unfold; Wrestling, I will not let Thee go, Till I Thy name, Thy nature know. Wilt Thou not yet to me reveal Thy new, unutterable Name? Tell me, I still beseech Thee, tell; To know it now resolved I am; Wrestling, I will not let Thee go, Till I Thy Name, Thy nature know. ’Tis all in vain to hold Thy tongue Or touch the hollow of my thigh; Though every sinew be unstrung, Out of my arms Thou shalt not fly; Wrestling I will not let Thee go Till I Thy name, Thy nature know. What though my shrinking flesh complain, And murmur to contend so long? I rise superior to my pain, When I am weak, then I am strong And when my all of strength shall fail, I shall with the God-man prevail. My strength is gone, my nature dies, I sink beneath Thy weighty hand, Faint to revive, and fall to rise; I fall, and yet by faith I stand; I stand and will not let Thee go Till I Thy Name, Thy nature know. Yield to me now, for I am weak, But confident in self-despair; Speak to my heart, in blessings speak, Be conquered by my instant prayer; Speak, or Thou never hence shalt move, And tell me if Thy Name is Love. ’Tis Love! ’tis Love! Thou diedst for me! I hear Thy whisper in my heart; The morning breaks, the shadows flee, Pure, universal love Thou art; To me, to all, Thy bowels move; Thy nature and Thy Name is Love. My prayer hath power with God; the grace Unspeakable I now receive; Through faith I see Thee face to face, I see Thee face to face, and live! In vain I have not wept and strove; Thy nature and Thy Name is Love. I know Thee, Savior, who Thou art. Jesus, the feeble sinner’s friend; Nor wilt Thou with the night depart. But stay and love me to the end, Thy mercies never shall remove; Thy nature and Thy Name is Love. The Sun of righteousness on me Hath rose with healing in His wings, Withered my nature’s strength; from Thee My soul its life and succor brings; My help is all laid up above; Thy nature and Thy Name is Love. Contented now upon my thigh I halt, till life’s short journey end; All helplessness, all weakness I On Thee alone for strength depend; Nor have I power from Thee to move: Thy nature, and Thy name is Love. Lame as I am, I take the prey, Hell, earth, and sin, with ease o’ercome; I leap for joy, pursue my way, And as a bounding hart fly home, Through all eternity to prove Thy nature and Thy Name is Love.

Ah! my Lord, Thou know’st my name; Yet the question gives a plea To support my suit with Thee. Thou didst once a wretch behold, In rebellion blindly bold, Scorn Thy grace, Thy power defy: That poor rebel, Lord, was I. Once a sinner, near despair, Sought Thy mercy seat by prayer; Mercy heard, and set him free: Lord, that mercy came to me. Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now; Who could hold me up but Thou? Thou hast helped in every need; This emboldens me to plead: After so much mercy past, Canst Thou let me sink at last?

Love can bow down the stubborn neck, The stone to flesh convert, Soften, and melt, and pierce, and break An adamantine heart. O that in me the sacred fire Might now begin to glow, Burn up the dross of base desire, And make the mountains flow! O that it now from heaven might fall, And all my sins consume! Come, Holy Ghost, for Thee I call, Spirit of burning, come! Refining fire, go through my heart, Illuminate my soul; Scatter Thy life through every part, And sanctify the whole. No longer then my heart shall mourn, While, purified by grace, I only for His glory burn, And always see His face.

But famine came and left no sign Of all the plenty I had seen; Like the dry ears and half-starved kine, I then looked withered, faint and lean. To Joseph the Egyptians went, To Jesus I made known my case; He, when my little stock was spent, Opened His magazine of grace. For He the time of dearth foresaw, And made provision long before; That famished souls, like me, might draw Supplies from His unbounded store. Now on His bounty I depend, And live from fear of dearth secure, Maintained by such a mighty Friend, I cannot want till He is poor. O sinners, hear His gracious call!
