	GOD'S FATHERHOOD AND LOVE

	106



	2 Forever firm Thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of Thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep.	The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of Thy wing.
		4 Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord,

	3 My God, how excellent Thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort spring	And in Thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in Thy word.

	Rev, Isaac Watts, 1719 107



	2 Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray 4 Lord of all life, below, above, Sheds on our path the glow of day; Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Star of our hope, Thy softened light Before Thy ever-blazing throne Cheers the long watches of the night. We ask no luster of our own. 3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn; 5 Grant us Thy truth to make us free, Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn; And kindling hearts that burn for Thee, Our rainbow arch Thy mercy's sign; Till all Thy living altars claim All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine. One holy light, one heavenly flame. Oliver Wenpell Holmes, 1848
