When, as returns this solemn day

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, as returns this solemn day, Man comes to meet his God, What rites, what honors shall he pay? How spread his praise abroad? 2 From marble domes and gilded spires Shall clouds of incense rise? And gems, and gold, and garlands deck The costly sacrifice? 3 Vain, sinful man! creation's Lord Thy offerings well may spare; But give thy heart, and thou shalt find Thy God will hear thy prayer.

My God, to Thee I now commend

Author: Philip Friedrich Hiller; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, to Thee I now commend My soul, for Thou, O Lord, Dost live and love me without end, And wilt perform Thy word. 2 To whom else should I make my plea, That heavenly life be mine? All souls, my God, belong to Thee, My soul is also Thine. 3 Thou gav'st my spirit at my birth, Take back what Thou hast given; And with the Lord I served on earth, Grant me to live in heaven. 4 Faith spreads her wings, she sees revealed The shining wall above; My spirit knows that it is sealed, Redeemed from death by love. 5 Thou my Redeemer wast of yore, From sin Thou mad'st me free; Now, faithful God, dost Thou once more In death deliver me. 6 Thou liv'st and lovest without end, And dost perform Thy Word; My passing soul I now commend To Thee, my God and Lord!

"O Christ of God!"

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 57 hymnals First Line: O Jesus, sweet the tears I shed Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, sweet the tears I shed, While at thy cross I kneel, Gaze on thy wounded, fainting head, And all thy sorrows feel. 2 My heart dissolves to see thee bleed, This heart so hard before; I hear thee for the guilty plead, And grief o'erflows the more. 3 I know this cleansing blood of thine Was shed, dear for me: For me, for all,--oh, grace divine!-- Who look by faith on thee. 4 O Christ of God, O spotless Lamb, By love my soul is drawn; Henceforth, for ever, thine I am; Here life and peace are born. 5 In patient hope, the cross I'll bear, Thine arm shall be my stay; And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare, On thy great judgment-day.

In Anger, Lord, Rebuke Me Not

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In anger, Lord, rebuke me not; Withdraw the dreadful storm; Nor let Thy fury grow so hot Against a feeble worm. 2. My soul’s bowed down with heavy cares, My flesh with pain oppressed; My couch is witness to my tears, My tears forbid my rest. 3. Sorrow and pain wear out my days; I waste the night with cries, Counting the minutes as they pass, Till the slow morning rise. 4. Shall I be still tormented more? Mine eye consumed with grief? How long, my God, how long before Thine hand afford relief? 5. He hears when dust and ashes speak, He pities all our groans; He saves us for His mercy’s sake, And heals our broken bones. 6. The virtue of His sov’reign Word Restores our fainting breath; For silent graves praise not the Lord, Nor is He known in death. Used With Tune: MANOAH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
