2. Under the shadow of your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is your arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3. Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received its frame,
From everlasting you are God,
To endless years the same.
4. A thousand ages in your sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Soon bears us all away;
We fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.
6. Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Still be our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home!
Text: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748, alt.
Tune: St. Anne, William Croft, 1678-1727
O Lord, We Praise You
LW 238
1. O Lord, we praise you, bless you, and adore you,
In thanksgiving bow before you.
Here with your body and your blood you
nourish
Our weak souls that they may flourish.
O Lord, have mercy!
May your body, Lord, born of Mary,
That our sins and sorrows did carry,
And your blood for us plead
In all trial, fear, and need:
O Lord, have mercy!
Thy Word
Refrain
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light unto my path. (Repeat)
1. When I feel afraid, think I’ve lost my way,
Still you’re there right beside me.
And nothing will I fear as long as You are near,
Please be near me to the end.
Refrain
2. I will not forget Your love for me, and yet
My heart forever is wandering.
Jesus be my guide and hold me to Your side,
And I will love You to the end.
Refrain

As the Deer Panteth for the Water
1. As the deer panteth for the water,
So my soul longeth after Thee;
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee.
Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield,
To You alone, may my spirit yield;
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee.
2. You’re my friend and You are my brother,
Even though You are a King;
I love You more than any other,
So much more than anything.
Chorus

Cantad al Señor
HS ’98, No. 900
2. Your holy body into death was given,
Life to win for us in heaven.
No greater love than this to you could bind us;
May this feast of that remind us!
O Lord, have mercy!
Lord, your kindness so much did move you
That your blood now moves us to love you.
All our debt you have paid; (Cont. next page)
