Thy word, O Lord, like gentle dews

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Carl Bernhard Garve, 1763 - 1841 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy word, O Lord, like gentle dews, Falls soft on hearts that pine; Lord, to thy garden ne'er refuse This heavenly balm of thine. Watered by thee, let every tree Then blossom to thy praise, By grace of thine bear fruit divine Through all the coming days. 2 Thy word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns thy word, And pierceth flesh and bone. Let it go forth o'er all the earth To cleanse our hearts within, To show thy power in Satan's hour, And break the might of sin. A-men. 3 Thy word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e'er sink in night, But in each spirit shine, That none may miss heaven's final bliss, Led by thy light divine. Amen. Topics: The Holy Scriptures Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW

Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!

Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord! On Thee I fix my trust, Encouraged by Thy holy Word, A feeble child of dust. I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea; And 'tis enough my Saviour died, My Saviour died for me. 2 When storms of fierce temptation beat, And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat, My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words My spirit flies to Thee: Joy to my heart the thought affords, My Saviour died for me. 3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne, When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and anguish torn, A body racked with pain: Ah, what could give the sufferer rest, Bid every murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast That Jesus died for me? 4 And when Thy awful voice commands This body to decay, And life, in its last lingering sands, Is ebbing fast away, Then, though it be in accents weak, And faint and tremblingly, O give me strength in death to speak, "My Saviour died for me."

How Vast the Benefits Divine

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from guilt and shame and called to holiness. But not for works which we have done, or shall hereafter do, hath God decreed on sinful men salvation to bestow. 2 The glory, Lord, from first to last, is due to thee alone; aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob thee of thy crown. Our glorious Surety undertook to satisfy for man, and grace was given us in him before the world began. 3 This is thy will, that in thy love we ever should abide; that earth and hell should not prevail to turn thy word aside. Not one of all the chosen race but shall to heav'n attain, partake on earth the purposed grace and then with Jesus reign.

O Spirit of the Living God

Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, pure Light and Fire Divine: burn brightly in your church once more, its life and faith refine. Fill it with love and joy and power, with righteousness and peace; till Christ shall dwell in human hearts, and sin and sorrow cease. 2 Blow, Wind of God! With wisdom blow disperse and put to flight the mists of error, clouds of doubt which hide you from our sight. Burn, Winged Fire! Inspire our lips, renew in us your call to preach with zeal your great good news; God's love extends to all. 3 Teach us to utter living words of truth which all may hear, the language all can understand when love speaks loud and clear; Till every nation, age and race shall blend their creeds in one, and all together use their gifts to see your will is done. 4 So shall we know the power of Christ, the strength of love to save, so shall we rise with Christ to life which soars beyond the grave; And earth shall win true holiness, which makes your children whole, and draws us on by grace to reach creation's glorious goal!

"Jesus is God!"

Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: Jesus is God! The glorious bands Lyrics: 1 Jesus is God! The glorious bands Of holy angels sing Song of adoring praise to him, Their Maker and their King. He was true God in Bethlehem's crib, On Calvary's cross true God He who in heaven eternal reigned, In time on earth abode. 2 Jesus is God! Oh, could I now But compass land and sea, To teach and tell this single truth, How happy should I be! Oh, had I but an angel's voice, I would proclaim so loud,-- Jesus, the good, the beautiful, Is everlasting God! 3 Jesus is God! If on the earth This blessèd faith decays, More tender must our love become, More plentiful our praise. We are not angels, but we may Down in earth's corners kneel, And multiply sweet acts of love, And murmur what we feel. 4 Jesus is God! Let sorrow come, And pain, and every ill; All our worth while, for all are means His glory to fulfill; Worth while a thousand years of life, To speak one little word, If only by our faith we own The Godhead of our Lord!

O Lord, turn not Thy face away

Author: J. Marckant Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, turn not Thy face away From them that lowly lie, Lamenting sore their sinful life, With tears and bitter cry. Thy mercy gates are open wide To them that mourn their sin; O shut them not against us, Lord, But let us enter in. 2 We need not to confess our fault, For surely Thou canst tell; What we have done, and what we are, Thou knowest very well. Wherefore, to beg and to entreat, With tears we come to Thee, As children that have done amiss Fall at their father's knee. 3 And need we, then, O Lord, repeat The blessing which we crave, When Thou dost know, before we speak, The thing that we would have? Mercy, O Lord, we mercy ask, This is the total sum; For mercy, Lord, is all our prayer; O let Thy mercy come!
