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

Not What My Hands Have Done

Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul; Not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole. Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load. 2. Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace; Your pow'r alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase. No other work but Yours, no other blood will do; No strength but that which is divine can bear me safely thro'. 3. I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfalt'ring lip and heart I call this Savior mine. My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives; I love because he first loved me, I live because He lives. Scripture: Jeremiah 10:23 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

Lord of the harvest! hear

Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 191 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the harvest! hear Thy needy servants' cry: Answer our faith's effectual prayer, And all our wants supply. On Thee we humbly wait; Our wants are in Thy view; The harvest truly, Lord! is great, The laborers are few. 2 Convert and send forth more Into Thy Church abroad; And let them speak thy word of power, As workers with their God. Give the pure gospel-word, The word of general grace; Thee let them preach, the common Lord, The Saviour of our race. 3 Oh, let them spread Thy name; Their mission fully prove; Thy universal grace proclaim, Thine all-redeeming love. On all mankind, forgiven, Empower them still to call, And tell each creature under heaven, That Thou hast died for all.

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

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.
