The Man Who Once Has Found Abode

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The man who once has found abode, within the secret place of God shall with Almighty God abide, and in his shadow safely hide. 2 I therefore of the Lord will say, he is my refuge and my stay; my citadel of strength is he — My God in whom my trust shall be. 3 For he shall with his watchful care preserve thee from the fowler's snare; yea, he shall be thy sure defense against the deadly pestilence. 4 His outspread pinions shall thee hide, beneath his wings shalt thou confide. His faithfulness shall ever be a shield and buckler unto thee. 5 No nightly terrors shall alarm, no deadly shaft by day shall harm; nor pestilence that walks by night, nor plagues that waste in noonday light. 6 Because his angels he commands to bear thee safely in their hands, to guard thy ways, lest left alone, thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 "Because he set his love on Me, from danger I will set him free. Because to him My name is known, On high I'll set him as Mine own."

The Heavens Declare Your Glory, Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 599 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heav'ns declare your glory, Lord in ev'ry star your wisdom shines; but when our eyes behold your Word, we read your name in fairer lines. 2 The rolling sun, the changing light, and nights and days, your pow'r confess; but the blest volume you did write reveals your justice and your grace. 3 Sun, moon, and stars convey your praise round the whole earth, and never stand; so when your truth began its race, it touched and glanced on ev'ry land. 4 Nor shall your spreading gospel rest till through the world your truth has run; till Christ has all the nations blessed that see the light, or feel the sun. 5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise; bless the dark world with heav'nly light: your gospel makes the simple wise, your laws are pure, your judgments right. 6 Your noblest wonders here we view in souls renewed, and sins forgiv'n: Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, and make your Word my guide to heav'n.

Stay, Thou Insulted Spirit, Stay

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 397 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay, Though I have done Thee such despite, Nor cast the sinner quite away, Nor take Thine everlasting flight. 2. Though I have steeled my stubborn heart, And still shook off my guilty fears, And vexed, and urged Thee to depart, For many long rebellious years; 3. Though I have most unfaithful been Of all who e’er Thy grace received, Ten thousand times Thy goodness seen, Ten thousand times Thy goodness grieved; 4. Yet O! the chief of sinners spare, In honor of my great High Priest, Nor in Thy righteous anger swear T’exclude me from Thy people’s rest. 5. This only woe I deprecate. This only plague I pray remove; Nor leave me in my lost estate, Nor curse me with this want of love. 6. If yet Thou canst my sins forgive, From now, O Lord, relieve my woes, Into Thy rest of love receive, And bless me with calm repose. 7. Now, Lord, my weary soul release, Upraise me with Thy gracious hand. And guide into Thy perfect peace, And bring me to the promised land.
