She Loved Her Savior

Author: William Cutter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: She loved her Savior, and to Him Lyrics: 1. She loved her Savior, and to Him Her costliest present brought; To crown His head, or grace His name, No gift too rare she thought. 2. And though the prudent worldling frowned, And thought the poor bereft; Christ’s humble friend sweet comfort found, For He approved the gift. 3. The poor are always with us here, ’Tis our great Father’s plan That mutual wants and mutual care May bind us man to man. 4. So let the Savior be adored, And not the poor despised, Give to the hungry from your hoard, But all, give all to Christ. 5. Go, clothe the naked, lead the blind, Give to the weary rest; For sorrow’s children comfort find, And help for all distressed. 6. But give to Christ alone Thy heart, Thy faith, Thy love supreme, Then for His sake Thine alms impart, And so give all to Him.

Amidst Thy Wrath Remember Love

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 60 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Amidst Thy wrath remember love, Restore Thy servant, Lord; Nor let a Father’s chastening prove Like an avenger’s sword. 2. Thine arrows stick within my heart, My flesh is sorely pressed; Between the sorrow and the smart, My spirit finds no rest. 3. My sins a heavy load appear, And o’er my head are gone; Too heavy they for me to bear, Too hard for me t’atone. 4. My thoughts are like a troubled sea, My head still bending down; And I go mourning all the day, Beneath my Father’s frown. 5. Lord, I am weak and broken sore, None of my powers are whole: The inward anguish makes me roar, The anguish of my soul. 6. All my desire to Thee is known, Thine eye counts every tear; And every sigh, and every groan, Is noticed by Thine ear. 7. Thou art my God, my only hope; My God will hear my cry; My God will bear my spirit up, When Satan bids me die. 8. My foot is ever apt to slide, My foes rejoice to see’t; They raise their pleasure and their pride When they supplant my feet. 9. But I’ll confess my guilt to Thee, And grieve for all my sin; I’ll mourn how weak my graces be, And beg support divine. 10. My God, forgive my follies past, And be for ever nigh; O Lord of my salvation, haste, Before Thy servant die. Used With Tune: PARKER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Grace Before Meat

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Fountain of being, source of good Lyrics: 1. Fountain of being, source of good! At whose almighty breath The creature proves our bane or food Dispensing life or death: 2. Thee we address with humble fear; Vouchsafe Thy gifts to crown; Father of all, Thy children hear, And send a blessing down. 3. O, may our souls for ever pine Thy grace to taste and see; Athirst for righteousness divine, And hungry after Thee! 4. For this we lift our longing eyes We wait the gracious word: Speak, and our hearts from earth shall rise, And feed upon the Lord.
