Lyrics to the hymn, From Every Stormy Wind That Blows

A pretty field in autumn



Introduction



Hello. I am a Mother of Gooses and a lover of hymns; I consider them to be a work of art. And they bring glory to God, our Creator and Redeemer, and Friend.

The Subject At Hand



Today we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, From Every Stormy Wind That Blows; it was written by Hugh Stowell and published in 1828.

I first heard it on Olive Tree Hymns; I'll leave some links to their video.

Here's some scripture associated with this hymn.

Exodus 25:22

"And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel."

Hebrews 4:16

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

The Lyrics


Verse 1 

From every stormy wind that blows,

From every swelling tide of woes,

There is a calm, a sure retreat:

'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.

Verse 2 

There is a place where Jesus sheds

The oil of gladness on our heads,

A place than all beside more sweet:

It is the blood-bought mercy-seat.

Verse 3 

There is a spot where spirits blend,

Where friend holds fellowship with friend; 

Though sundered far, by faith they meet

Around one common mercy-seat.

Verse 4 

There, there, on eagles' wings we soar, 

And time and sense seem all no more,

And Heaven comes down, our souls to greet,

And glory crowns the mercy-seat.


The sky and clouds

Lyrics to the hymn, This Is My Father's world

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
