We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769 - 1854 Appears in 197 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, Of him who died upon the Cross; The sinner's hope let men deride, For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the Cross we see, In shining letters, 'God is Love.' He bears our sins upon the Tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The Cross, it takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes its terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above.

Great God, To Thee My Evening Song

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, to Thee my evening song With humble gratitude I raise; O let Thy mercy tune my tongue And fill my heart with lively praise. 2 Mercy, that rich unbounded store; Does my unnumbered wants relieve; Among Thy daily craving poor, On Thy all bounteous hand I live. 3 My days unclouded, as they pass, And every gently rolling hour, Are monuments of wondrous grace, And witness to Thy love and power. 4 Thy love and power, celestial Guard, Preserve me from surrounding harms; Can danger reach me, while the Lord Extends His kind protecting arms? 5 My numerous wants are known to Thee, Ere my slow wishes can arise; Thy goodness, measureless and free, Is ready still with full supplies. 6 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart, Too oft regardless of Thy love, Ungrateful, can from Thee depart, And fond of trifles, vainly rove. 7 When calm reflection finds a place, How vile this wretched heart appears! O let Thy all subduing grace Melt it in penitential tears. 8 Seal my forgiveness in the blood Of Jesus: His dear name alone I plead for pardon, gracious God, And kind acceptance at Thy throne. 9 Let this blest hope my eyelids close With sleep refresh my feeble frame; Safe in Thy care may I repose, And wake with praises to Thy name.
