Genesis 15:1

• [Gen 15:1] O God, Thy Soldiers’ Crown And Guard

  O God, Thy soldiers’ crown and guard, And their exceeding great reward; From all transgressions set us free, Who sing Thy martyr’s victory. The pleasures of the world he spurned, From sin’s pernicious lures he turned; He knew their joys imbued with gall, And thus he reached Thy heavenly hall. For Thee through many a woe he ran, In many a fight he played the man; For Thee his blood he dared to pour, And thence hath joy forevermore. We therefore pray Thee, full of love, Regard us from Thy throne above; On this Thy martyr’s triumph day, Wash every stain of sin away. O Christ, most loving King, to Thee, With God the Father, glory be; Like glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete.

Genesis 19:17

• [Gen 19:17] Haste, Traveler, Haste!

  Haste, traveler, haste! the night comes on, And many a shining hour is gone; The storm is gathering in the west, And thou art from home and rest. O far from home thy footsteps stray; Christ is the life, and Christ the way, And Christ the light; thy setting sun Sinks ere thy morning is begun. Awake, awake! pursue thy way With steady course, while yet ’tis day; While thou art sleeping on the ground, Danger and darkness gather round. The rising tempest sweeps the sky; The rains descend, the winds are high; The waters swell, and death and fear Beset thy path, nor refuge near. O yes! a shelter you may gain, A covert from the wind and the rain, A hiding-place a rest, a home, A refuge from the wrath to come. 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!

Genesis 31:13

• [Gen 31:13] O God Of Bethel, By Whose Hand

  O God of Bethel, by Whose hand Thy people still are fed, 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 Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. O spread Thy covering wings around Till all our wanderings cease, And at our Father’s loved abode Our souls arrive in peace. Such blessings from Thy gracious hand Our humble prayers implore; And Thou shalt be our chosen God, And portion evermore.
