On Thee, Each Morning, O My God

Author: Andrew Kippis, 1725-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 122 hymnals First Line: On Thee each morning, O my God Lyrics: 1 On Thee each morning, O my God, My waking thoughts attend; In whom are founded all my hopes, In whom my wishes end. 2 My soul, in pleading wonder lost, Thy boundless love surveys, And fired with grateful zeal prepares Her sacrifice of praise. 3 When evening slumbers press my eyes, With Thy protection blest, In peace and safety I commit My weary limbs to rest. 4 My spirit in Thy hands secure Fears no approaching ill; For whether waking or asleep Thou, Lord, art with me still. 5 Then will I daily to the world Thy wondrous acts proclaim; Whilst all with me shall praises sing And bless Thy sacred name. 6 At morn, at noon, at night I’ll still The growing work pursue; And Thee alone wilt praise, to whom Eternal praise is due.

To Thine Almighty Arm We Owe

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To Thine almighty arm we owe The triumphs of the day; Thy terrors, Lord, confound the foe, And melt their strength away. 2. ’Tis by Thine aid our troops prevail, And break united powers, Or burn their boasted fleets, or scale The proudest of their towers. 3. How we have chased them through the field, And trod them to the ground, While Thy salvation was our shield, But they no shelter found! 4. In vain to idol saints they cry, And perish in their blood; When is a rock so great, so high So powerful as our God? 5. The Rock of Israel ever lives, His name be ever blessed; ’Tis His own arm the victory gives, And gives His people rest. 6. On kings that reign as David did, He pours His blessings down; Secures their honors to their seed, And well supports the crown. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Come, Ye Redeemed of the Lord

Author: Joseph Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, ye redeemèd of the Lord, Your grateful tribute bring; And celebrate with one accord, The birthday of our king. 2 Let us with humble hearts repair— Faith will point out the road— To little Bethlehem; and there Adore our infant God. 3 In swaddling bands the Savior view! Let none this weakness scorn; The feeblest heart shall hell subdue, Where Jesus Christ is born. 4 No pomp adorns, no sweets perfume, The place where Christ is laid; The stable serves Him for His room; A manger is His bed. 5 The crowded inn, like sinners’ hearts— O ignorance extreme! For other guests of various sorts Had room; but none for Him. 6 But see what different thoughts arise In ours and angels’ breasts: To hail His birth they left the skies; We lodged Him with the beasts. 7 Yet let believers cease their fears, Nor envy heav’nly powers; If sinless innocence be theirs, Redemption all is ours.

No Strength of Nature Can Suffice

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. No strength of nature can suffice To serve the Lord aright; And what she has, she misapplies, For want of clearer light. 2. How long beneath the Law I lay In bondage and distress! I toiled the precept to obey, But toiled without success. 3. Then to abstain from outward sin Was more than I could do; Now, if I feel its power within, I feel I hate it too. 4. Then all my servile works were done A righteousness to raise; Now, freely chosen in the Son, I freely choose His ways. 5. What shall I do was then the word, That I may worthier grow? What shall I render to the Lord? Is my inquiry now. 6. To see the Law by Christ fulfilled, And hear His pardoning voice; Changes a slave into a child, And duty into choice.

Why Does Your Face, Ye Humble Souls

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Why does your face, ye humble souls, Those mournful colors wear? What doubts are these that waste your faith, And nourish your despair? 2. What though your numerous sins exceed The stars that fill the skies, And aiming at th’eternal throne, Like pointed mountains rise: 3. What though your mighty guilt beyond The wide creation swell, And has its cursed foundations laid Low as the deeps of hell: 4. See here an endless ocean flows Of never-failing grace; Behold a dying Savior’s veins The sacred flood increase. 5. It rises high, and drowns the hills, Has neither shore nor bound: Now, if we search to find our sins, Our sins can ne’er be found. 6. Awake, our hearts, adore the grace That buries all our faults; And pard’ning blood, that swells above Our follies and our thoughts.

By what means shall a young man learn

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: BETH THE SECOND PART 9 By what means shall a young man learn his way to purify? If he according to thy word thereto attentive be. 10 Unfeignedly thee have I sought with all my soul and heart: O let me not from the right path of thy commands depart. 11 Thy word I in my heart have hid, that I offend not thee. 12 O Lord, thou ever blessed art, thy statutes teach thou me. 13 The judgements of thy mouth each one my lips declared have: 14 more joy thy testimonies’ way than riches all me gave. 15 Thy holy precepts I will make my meditation still: and have respect unto thy ways most carefully I will. 16 Upon thy statutes my delight shall constantly be set: and, by thy grace, I never will thy holy word forget.
