Exalt the Lord Our God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 115 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His feet; His nature is all holiness, And mercy is His seat. 2. When Israel was His church, When Aaron was His priest, When Moses cried, when Samuel prayed, He gave His people rest. 3. Oft He forgave their sins, Nor would destroy their race; And oft He made His vengeance known, When they abused His grace. 4. Exalt the Lord our God, Whose grace is still the same; Still He’s a God of holiness, And jealous for His name. Used With Tune: ACCRA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Ah! Whither Should I Go?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 193 hymnals First Line: Ah! whither should I go Lyrics: 1. Ah! whither should I go, Burdened and sick and faint? To whom should I my trouble show, And pour out my complaint? My Savior bids me come; Ah! why do I delay? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from Him I stay. 2. What is it keeps me back, From which I cannot part, Which will not let the Savior take Possession of my heart? Searcher of hearts, in mine Thy trying power display; Into its darkest corners shine, And take the veil away. 3. I now believe in Thee, Compassion reigns alone; According to my faith, to me O let it, Lord, be done! 4. In me is all the bar, Which Thou wouldst fain remove; Remove it, and I shall declare That God is only love. The following verses are commonly omitted: 5. Some cursèd thing unknown Must surely lurk within, Some idol which I will not own, Some secret bosom sin. 6. Jesu, the hindrance show, Which I have feared to see; Yet let me now consent to know What keeps me out of Thee. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER Text Sources: Hymns on God's Everlasting Love, 1741

On all mankind, forgiven, Empower them still to call, And tell each creature under heaven, That Thou hast died for all.

O where shall rest be found

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 646 hymnals Lyrics: O where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean-depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole; The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live; Nor all of death to die. 214 Beyond this vale of tears, There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love;-- There is a death, whose pang Ontlasts the fleeting breath; O what eternal horrors hang Around "the second death!" Lord God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun, Lest we be banish'd from Thy face, And evermore undone: Here would we end our quest; Alone are found in Thee, The life of perfect love,--the rest Of immortality.

Jesus, the Conqueror, Reigns

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 111 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, the Conqueror, reigns, In glorious strength arrayed, His kingdom over all maintains, And bids the earth be glad. Ye sons of men, rejoice In Jesus’ mighty love, Lift up your heart, lift up your voice To Him who rules above. 2. Extol His kingly power, Kiss the exalted Son, Who died, and lives, to die no more, High on His Father’s throne; Our Advocate with God, He undertakes our cause, And spreads through all the earth abroad The victory of His cross. 3. That bloody banner see, And in your Captain’s sight, Fight the good fight of faith with me, My fellow soldiers, fight! In mighty phalanx joined, To battle all proceed; Armed with the unconquerable mind Which was in Christ your Head. 4. Urge on your rapid course, Ye blood besprinkled bands; The heavenly kingdom suffers force, ’Tis seized by violent hands; See there the starry crown That glitters through the skies! Satan, the world, and sin, tread down, And take the glorious prize. 5. Through much distress and pain, Through many a conflict here, Through blood, ye must the entrance gain; Yet, O disdain to fear! Courage! your Captain cries, Who all your toil foreknew Toil ye shall have; yet all despise, I have o’ercome for you. 6. The world cannot withstand Its ancient conqueror, The world must sink beneath The hand which arms us for the war; This is the victory! Before our faith they fall; Jesus hath died for you and me; Believe, and conquer all! Used With Tune: DIADEMATA Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749

Thy mercies manifold, I pray Thee, Lord, remember, I eke Thy pity plentiful, For they have been fore’er. Remember not the faults And frailty of my youth; Remember not how ignorant I have been of Thy truth. 3. Nor after my deserts Let me Thy mercy find, But of Thine own benignity Lord have me in Thy mind. His mercy is full sweet, His truth a perfect guide, Therefore the Lord will sinners teach And such as go aside. 4.
