Hear What God the Lord Hath Spoken

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 200 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hear what God the Lord hath spoken, “O my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you: Themes of heartfelt tribulation Shall no more perplex your ways; You shall name your walls, Salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. 2. “There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures, without end, shall flow, For the Lord, your faith rewarding, All His bounty shall bestow; Still in undisturbed possession Peace and righteousness shall reign; Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. 3. "Ye no more your suns descending, Waning moons no more shall see; But your griefs forever ending, Find eternal noon in Me: God shall rise, and shining o’er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your glory, God your everlasting light."

Take Me, O My Father

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 145 hymnals First Line: Take me O my Father, take me Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me! Take me, save me, thro' thy Son; That which thou wouldst have me, make me, Let thy will in me be done. Long from thee my footsteps straying, Thorny proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying— Take me to thy love, my God! 2 Fruitless years with grief recalling, Humbly I confess my sin; At thy feet, O Father, falling, To thy house-hold take me in. Freely now to thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul I offer— Gift unworthy love like thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer dying, Bare our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to thee; Father, take me! all forgiving Fold me to thy loving breast; In thy love for ever living, I must be for ever blest. Used With Tune: [Take me O my Father, take me]
