Our feeble frame, encompassed round
With death’s unnumbered pains.

Loads every minute, as it flies,
With benefits unsought.

From everlasting woes.

To realms of endless day. Used With Tune: BEATI IMMACULATI

Blest Is the Man Who Shuns the Place
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Blest is the man who shuns the place
Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer’s seat.
2. But in the statutes of the Lord
Has placed his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the Word,
And meditates by night.
3. He, like a plant of generous kind,
By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.
4. Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine;
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.
5. Not so the impious and unjust;
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm.
6. Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Amongst the sons of grace,
When Christ, the Judge, at His right hand
Appoints His saints a place.
7. His eye beholds the path they tread,
His heart approves it well;
But crooked ways of sinners lead
Down to the gates of hell. Used With Tune: BEATI IMMACULATI Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

With full and endless sight. Used With Tune: BEATI IMMACULATI

Blest Be The Wisdom And The Power
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest be the wisdom and the power,
The justice and the grace,
That joined in counsel to restore
And save our ruined race!
2 Our father ate forbidden fruit,
And from his glory fell;
And we, his children, thus were brought
To death, and near to hell.
3 Blest be the Lord, that sent His Son
To take our flesh and blood!
He for our lives gave up His own,
To make our peace with God.
4 He honored all His Father’s laws,
Which we have disobeyed;
He bore our sins upon the cross,
And our full ransom paid.
5 Behold Him rising from the grave;
Behold Him raised on high:
He pleads His merits there, to save
Transgressors doomed to die.
6 There, on a glorious throne, He reigns;
And by His power divine
Redeems us from the slavish chains
Of Satan and of sin.
7 Thence shall the Lord to judgment come;
And, with a sovereign voice,
Shall call and break up every tomb,
While waking saints rejoice.
8 O may I then with joy appear
Before the Judge’s face;
And, with the blest assembly there,
Sing His redeeming grace. Used With Tune: BEATI IMMACULATI Text Sources: Divine and Moral Songs, 1715

Thou ever good and just;

Thy power is all my trust.

He bid my pains remove;

For thou hast known His love.
