How sweet the sound Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me!

Awake, Ye Saints; To Praise Your King

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 83 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints; to praise your king Your sweetest passions raise, Your pious pleasure, while you sing, Increasing with the praise. 2 Great is the Lord, and works unknown Are His divine employ; But still His saints are near His throne, His treasure and His joy. 3 Heav’n, earth, and sea confess His hand; He bids the vapors rise; Lightning and storm at His command Sweep through the sounding skies. 4 All power that gods or kings have claimed Is found with Him alone; But heathen gods should ne’er be named Where our Jehovah’s known. 5 Which of the stock or stones they trust Can give them showers of rain? In vain they worship glittering dust, And pray to gold in vain. 6 Their gods have tongues that cannot talk, Such as their makers gave; Ther feet were ne’er designed to walk, Nor hands have power to save. 7 Blind are their eyes, their ears are deaf, Nor near when mortals pray; Mortals that wait for their relief Are blind and deaf as they. 8 O nations, know thy living God, Serve Him with faith and fear; He makes thy churches His abode, And claims thine honors there.

Hark! Hear The Sound

Author: Anonymous Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: Hark! hear the sound, on earth ’tis found Lyrics: 1 Hark! hear the sound, on earth ’tis found; My soul delights to hear Of dying love, sent from above, Of pardon bought so dear. 2 God’s ministers, like flames of fire Are passing thro’ the land; The voice is "Hear, repent and fear, King Jesus is at hand." 3 Convinced of sin, men now begin To call upon the Lord, Trembling they pray, and mourn the day In which they scorned His Word. 4 God’s chariots roll, they fright the soul Of those who hate the truth; But saints who hear, cry, "Lord draw near, Have mercy on the youth!" 5 God grant a shower of His great power On every aching heart; On all who sigh, and humbly cry, That they may have a part. 6 Young converts sing and praise their king, And bless God’s holy name; While older saints lay down their complaints And rise to join the theme.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Of justice and of grace I sing, and pay my GOD my vows; Thy grace and justice, heav'nly King, teach me to rule my house. 2 Now to my tent, O GOD, repair, and make Thy servant wise; I'll suffer nothing near me there that shall offend Thine eyes. 3 The man that doth his neighbor wrong by falsehood or by force, the scornful eye, the sland'rous tongue, I'll thrust them from my doors. 4 I'll seek the faithful and the just, and will their help enjoy; these are the friends that I shall trust, the servants I'll employ. 5 The wretch that deals in sly deceit, I'll not endure a night; the liar's tongue I ever hate, and banish from my sight. 6 I'll purge my family around, and make the wicked flee; so shall my house be ever found a dwelling fit for Thee.
