And yet how oft did Israel prove Thy constancy of grace! 2 They saw thy wonders wrought, And then thy praise they sung; But soon thy works of power forgot, And murmur'd with their tongue. 3 Now they believe his word, While rocks with rivers flow; Now with their lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduc'd them low. 4 Yet when they mourn'd their faults, He hearken'd to their groans; Brought his own covenant to his thoughts, And call'd them still his sons. 5 Their names were in his book, He sav'd them from their foes; Oft he chastis'd, but ne'er forsook The people that he chose. 6 Let Israel bless the Lord, Who lov'd their ancient race; And Christians join the solemn word, Amen to all the praise. Scripture: Psalm 106:43-48

Who shall fulfil thy boundless praise? Blest are the souls that fear thee still, And pay their duty to thy will. 3 Remember what thy mercy did For Jacob's race, thy chosen seed; And with the same salvation bless The meanest suppliant of thy grace. 4 Oh may I see thy tribes rejoice, And aid their triumphs with my voice! This is my glory, Lord, to be Join'd to thy saints, and near to thee. Scripture: Psalm 106:1-5

Lord, what a Heav'n of saving Grace

Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Communion between Christ and the Church; Delight in Converse with Christ; God Eternity; Presence of Christ in Worship; Worship delightful Lyrics: 7 Lord, what a Heav'n of saving Grace Shines through the beauties of thy Face, And lights our Passions to a Flame! Lord, how we love thy charming Name! 8 When I can say, My God is mine! When I can feel thy Glories shine, I tread the World beneath my Feet, And all that Earth calls Good or Great. 9 While such a Scene of sacred Joys Our raptur'd Eyes and Souls employs; Here we could sit, and gaze away, A long, an everlasting Day. 10 Well, we shall quickly pass the Night, To the fair Coasts of perfect Light; Then shall our joyful Senses rove O'er the dear Object of our Love. [11 There shall we drink full Draughts of bliss, And pluck new Life from heav'nly Trees: Yet now and then, dear Lord, bestow A drop of Heav'n on Worms below. 12 Send Comforts down from thy Right Hand, While we pass through this barren Land, And in thy Temple let us see A Glimpse of Love, a Glimpse of Thee.]

Must all the charms of nature then

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Punishment and salvation; Saints punished and saved; Sin and chastisement of saints; Conversion of Jews and Gentiles; Covenent of grace unchangeable; Love of God unchangeable; Communion with saints; Israel punished and pardoned; Saints conducted to heaven; Saints punished and pardoned Lyrics: Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new. But mark the change; thus spake the Lord- "Come, part with earth for heav'n today:" The youth, astonished at the word, In silent sadness went his way. Poor virtues that he boasted so, This test unable to endure; Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! Ah, foolish choice of treasures here! Ah, fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold? In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me: Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee. Scripture: Mark 10:21
