When God--neglected or denied

Author: T. H. Stockton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When God--neglected or denied-- From ancient tribes withdrew his grace, How soon the erring myriads strove With phantom forms to fill his place! 2 On every hill, by every stream, All homes within, all waysides near, The hallowed idols senseless stood-- The helpless suppliants bowed with fear. 3 With gods for every foot of land, And every pause of passing time, In life no soothing peace they found, In death no heavenly hope sublime. 4 O Thou, the true and living God! Maker of all above--below, Eternal--self-existent One! How blest are we thy name to know! 5 One God--enlightened faith adores; One God--harmonious nature cries; One God--our common Sire and Lord, The brotherhood of mind replies. 6 To thee--Supreme!--to thee alone, Be hymns of highest glory sung; The source of joy to every hear, The theme of praise to every tongue.

Yes, the Redeemer rose

Author: Doddridge Appears in 227 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yes, the Redeemer rose; The Saviour left the dead, And o'er our hellish foes High raised his conquering head; In wild dismay The guards around Fall to the ground, And sink away. 2 Behold, the angelic bands In full assembly meet, To wait his high commands, And worship at his feet: With joy they come, And wing their way From realms of day To Jesus' tomb. 3 Then back to heaven they fly, The joyful news to bear: Hark! as they soar on high, What music fills the air! Their anthems say, The Lord who bled Hath left the dead; He rose to-day. 4 Ye mortals, catch the sound, Redeemed by him from hell, And send the echo round The globe on which you dwell; Transported, cry, The Lord who bled Hath left the dead, No more to die.

Ah, how shall fallen man

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God? If he contend in righteousness, We fall beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict, inquiring eyes, Could we, for one of thousand faults, A just excuse devise? 3 All-seeing, powerful God, Who can with these contend? Or who that tries th' unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake; The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake. 5 Ah, how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet him and escape, But through the Saviour's blood! Topics: The Christian System Human Depravity; Man Guilty Scripture: Job 4:17

Ah! whither should I go

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 193 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ah! whither should I go, Burden'd, and sick, and faint? To whom should I my trouble show, And pour out my complaint? My Saviour bids me come; Ah! why do I delay? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from him I stay. 2 What is it keeps me back, From which I can not part-- Which will not let the Saviour take Possession of my heart? Searcher of hearts, in mine Thy trying power display; Into the darkest corners shine, And take the vail away. 3 I now believe; in thee Compassion reigns alone; According to my faith, to me, Oh, let it, Lord be done! In me is all the bar, Which thou wouldst fain remove: Remove it, and I shall declare That God is only love. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; To Whom should we Go?

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 247 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious God! in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid; Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee!

Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name!

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 185 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name! Thy glories how diffused abroad, Through the creation's frame. 2 Nature in every dress Her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t' express Thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her Creator too; Fain would my tongue adore my King, And pay the worship due. 4 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true, Until 't is formed again. 5 Descend, celestial fire, And seize me from above; Melt me in flames of pure desire, A sacrifice to love. 6 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God, my soul, ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.
