Great Is The Lord Our God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God,
And let His praise be great;
He makes the Church His abode,
His most delightful seat.
2 In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress:
How bright has His salvation shone
Thro' all her palaces!
3 When kings against her joined
And saw the Lord was there,
In wild confusion of the mind
They fled with hasty fear.
4 Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen
How well our God secures the fold
Where His own sheep have been.
5 In ev'ry new distress
We’ll to His house repair;
We'll call to mind His wondrous grace
And seek deliverance there.
Amen. Used With Tune: DURHAM (DOVER)

Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,..
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled!

For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
3. "When thro' the deep waters, I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow,
For I will be with thee thy trials to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4. "When thro' fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee, I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5. "The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to His foes;
That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"

On... Thee I'll call."

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 898 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise,
Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding Sacrifice
In my behalf appears;
Before the throne my Surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.
2 He ever lives above
For me to intercede,
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead;
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3 Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers,
They strongly speak for me;
Forgive him, O forgive, they cry,
Nor let that ransomed sinner die!
4 The Father hears Him pray,
His dear Anointed One;
He cannot turn away,
Cannot refuse His Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood
And tells me I am born of God.
5 My God is reconciled,
His pard'ning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child,
I can no longer fear;
With confidence I now draw nigh
And Father, Abba, Father! cry.
Amen. Used With Tune: BEVAN

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Come, O Jesus, and prepare me
Now to be Thy worthy guest.
Like Thy well belov'd disciple,
Let me lean upon Thy breast
At Thy table, where Thou givest
Of Thy body and Thy blood,
Sealing in this blest communion
My baptismal vow to God.
2 Take my heart and make it holy
By Thy Spirit and Thy grace;
Back into Thy footsteps guide me,
If I stray in evil ways.
Thou who lovèdst me from childhood,
Be my Refuge in my youth;
In a world where error lures me,
Lead me in Thy paths of truth.
3 Let me heed Thy voice entreating
"Come, my child, abide with Me;
Wouldst thou spurn the loving-kindness
Of the Friend who died for thee?"
Grant that, at Thy sacred altar,
Through Thy sacrament of grace,
With the faithful I be numbered,
And Thy saving love embrace.

God, In Human Flesh Appearing
Author: M. Loy; Philipp Friedrich Hiller Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 God, in human flesh appearing,
Took the children to His breast,
Lambs with His green pastures cheering,
Fitting for His heav'nly rest;
This is gentleness unbounded,
This is lowliness of heart;
All are by His love surrounded,
None are ever bid depart.
2 Lord, I bless Thy mercy endless,
For Thy pleasure is to bless;
Me, too, when my soul was friendless,
Thou didst to Thy bosom press;
For I, too, to Thee was given
In the pure baptismal wave;
There Thou mad'st me heir of heaven,
Who hast died my soul to save.
3 Feeble is the love of mother,
Father's blessings are as naught
When compared, my King and Brother,
With the wonders Thou hast wrought;
Thus it pleased Thy heav'nly meekness;
Pleasing also be my praise,
Till my songs of earthly weakness
Burst into celestial lays. Used With Tune: LAMBS OF JESUS
