Roll Out, O Song, to God!
Author: Frank Sewall, 1837-1915 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Roll out, O song to God Lyrics: 1. Roll out, O song to God!
Move on, ye throngs of men!
Chances and changes come and go;
God changeth not! Amen.
And on the throngs of men,
On worrying care and strife,
Sinks down, as if from angel tongues,
The word of hope and life.
2. Down in the darksome ways
And worrying whirl of life
Sinks, like a strain of vesper song,
The thought of His great strife;
Who, of the virgin born,
Made all our chains His own,
And broke them with His own right arm,
Nor left us more alone.
3. Amid the weak, One strong,
Amid the false, One true,
Amid all change, One changing not,
One hope we ne’er shall rue.
In whose sight all is now,
In whose love all is best:
The things of this world pass away,
Come, let us in Him rest. Used With Tune: VIGLIA

Spirit of Faith, Come Down
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 153 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Spirit of faith, come down,
reveal the things of God,
and make to us the Godhead known,
and witness with the blood.
'Tis thine the blood to apply
and give us eyes to see,
who did for every sinner die
hath surely died for me.
2. No one can truly say
that Jesus is the Lord,
unless thou take the veil away
and breathe the living Word.
Then, only then, we feel
our interest in his blood,
and cry with joy unspeakable,
"Thou art my Lord, my God!"
3. O that the world might know
the all atoning Lamb!
Spirit of faith, descend and show
the virtue of his name;
the grace which all may find,
the saving power, impart,
and testify to humankind,
and speak in every heart.
4. Inspire the living faith
(which whosoe'er receive,
the witness in themselves they have
and consciously believe),
the faith that conquers all,
and doth the mountain move,
and saves whoe'er on Jesus call,
and perfects them in love.

Spirit of Faith, Come Down
The mighty God, the Lord
Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The mighty God, the Lord,
Hath spoken unto all;
From rising to the setting sun,
He unto earth doth call.
From Zion, his own hill,
Where perfect beauty dwells,
Jehovah hath his glory shown,
In brightness that excels.
2 Our God shall surely come,
And silence shall not keep;
Before him fire shall waste, and storms
Tempestuous round him sweep.
He to the heav'ns above
Shall then send forth his call,
And likewise to the earth, that he
May judge his people all.
3 "Together let my saints
Unto me gathered be,
Those that by sacrifice have made
A covenant with me."
Then shall the heav'ns declare
His righteousness abroad;
Because the Lord himself is judge,
Yea, none is judge, but God.
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Second Coming and Judgment of; Word of God; Zion Scripture: Psalm 50:1-6 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650 (based on)
The mighty God, the Lord
O God, in mercy hear
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
I
O God, in mercy hear,
I lift my cry to Thee,
And let Thy gracious help be sent
In my perplexity;
But Thou art far away,
And I am filled with shame,
I cannot see Thy blessed face,
And fear to name Thy name.
II
And now a sense of guilt
Inspires me with dismay,—
I know that none on earth can take
That awful load away;
’Tis mine, the sin, ’tis mine,
And mine the guilt to bear,
The awful burden of the blame,
The cloud of dark despair.
III
Is there no balm to heal?
No pity that can bless?—
O God, Who art so far away,
Be near in my distress;
And heed the tears I shed,
And hear my woeful cry;
And since there is no hand to help,
Come Thou in mercy nigh.
IV
’Twas then a voice I heard,—
It came in winning tone,
Across my night, from far away,
To where I prayed alone;
It told me of a love,
That sought me long ago,
And on the cross my burden bore,
Of sin, and guilt, and woe.
V
O blessed cross of Christ!
Thou hast my need supplied,
For there, upon thy outstretched arms
I see the Crucified;
And He has sin to bear,
That none can call His own,—
O Christ, the sin and guilt Thou bor’st,
Are mine, are mine, alone.

Commit Thou All Thy Griefs
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs
and ways into his hands,
to his sure truth and tender care
who earth and heav'n commands,
who points the clouds their course,
whom winds and seas obey;
he shall direct thy wand'ring feet,
he shall prepare thy way.
2 Thou on the Lord rely,
so safe shalt thou go on;
fix on his work thy steadfast eye,
so shall thy work be done.
No profit canst thou gain
from self-consuming care;
to him comment thy cause;
his ear attends the softest prayer.

Commit Thou All Thy Griefs
God Of Eternal Love
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of eternal love,
How fickle are our ways!
And yet oft did Israel prove
Thy constancy of grace!
They saw Thy wonders wrought,
And then Thy praise they sung;
But soon Thy works of power forgot,
And murmured with their tongue.
2 Now they believe His word
While rocks with rivers flow;
Now with their lusts provoke the Lord,
And He reduced them low.
Yet when they mourned their faults,
He hearkened to their groans,
Brought His own covenant to His thoughts,
And called them still His sons.
3 Their names were in His book,
He saved them from their foes;
Oft He chastised, but ne’er forsook
The people that He chose.
Let Israel bless the Lord,
Who loved their ancient race;
And Christians join the solemn word,
Amen, to all the praise. Used With Tune: ACCRA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
