Once I thought my mountain strong
Author: Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 116 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: 1 Once I thought my mountain strong,
Firmly fixed no more to move;
Then my Saviour was my song,
Then my soul was filled with love:
Those were happy, golden days,
Sweetly spent in prayer and praise.
2 Little then myself I knew,
Little thought of Satan's power;
Now I feel my sins renew,
Now I feel the stormy hour:
Sin has put my joys to flight,
Sin has turned my day to night.
3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul,
Bid my dying hopes revive,
Make my wounded spirit whole,
Far away the tempter drive:
Speak the word and set me free,
Let me live alone to thee. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; For Renewal

Fill my whole life, O Lord my God
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: 1 Fill my whole life, O Lord my God,
in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
your being and your ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor ev'n the praising heart
I ask, but for a life made up
of praise in every part:
3 praise in the common things of life,
its goings out and in;
praise in each duty and each deed,
however small and mean.
4 Fill every part of me with praise:
let all my being speak
of you and of your love, O Lord,
poor though I be and weak.
5 So shalt you, Lord, receive from me
the praise and glory due;
and so shall I begin on earth
the song for ever new.
6 So shall no part of day and night
from sacredness be free;
but with you, Lord, in every step,
my fellowship will be. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Holiness; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Joy; Personal Petition; Personal Response to Jesus; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: RICHMOND

The law by Moses came
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics:
The law by Moses came,
But peace, and truth, and love,
Were brought by Christ, a nobler name,
Descending from above.
Amidst the house of God
Their diff'rent works were done;
Moses a faithful servant stood,
But Christ a faithful Son.
Then to his new commands
Be strict obedience paid;
O'er all his Father's house he stands
The sovereign and the head.
The man that durst despise
The law that Moses brought,
Behold! how terribly he dies
For his presumptuous fault!
But sorer vengeance falls
On that rebellious race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his grace.
The law by Moses came

and in our hearts your work begin,
and make our hearts your dwelling.
Sun of the soul, O Light divine,
around and in us brightly shine,
your strength in us upwelling.
In your radiance
life from heaven
now is given
overflowing,
gift of gifts beyond all knowing.
2 Left to ourselves, we surely stray;
O lead us on the narrow way,
with wisest counsel guide us;
and give us steadfastness, that we
may follow you for ever free,
no matter who derides us.
Gently heal those
hearts now broken;
give some token
you are near us,
whom we trust to light and cheer us.
3 O mighty rock, O source of life,
let your good word in doubt and strife
be in us strongly burning,
that we be faithful unto death
and live in love and holy faith,
from you true wisdom learning.
Lord, your mercy
on us shower;
by your power
Christ confessing,
we will cherish all your blessing. Topics: Comfort; Faith; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Guidance; Holy Spirit; Perseverance Used With Tune: WIR SCHÖN LEUCHTET

Thus saith the mercy of the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51:3-13 Lyrics:
Thus saith the mercy of the Lord,
"I'll be a God to thee;
I'll bless thy num'rous race, and they
Shall be a seed for me."
Abram believed the promised grace,
And gave his sons to God;
But water seals the blessing now,
That once was sealed with blood.
Thus Lydia sanctified her house,
When she received the word;
Thus the believing jailer gave
His household to the Lord.
Thus later saints, eternal King!
Thine ancient truth embrace;
To thee their infant offspring bring,
And humbly claim the grace.
