Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #25 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through,
Thine eye commands, with piercing view
My rising and my resting hours,
My heart and flesh, with all their pow'rs.
2 Could I so false, so faithless prove,
To quit thy service and thy love;
Where, Lord, could I thy presence shun.
Or from thy dreadful glory run?
3 If, mounted on a morning ray,
I fly beyond the western sea;
Thy swifter hand would first arrive,
And there arrest thy fugitive.
4 Or should I try to shun thy sight
Beneath the spreading veil of night;
One glance of thine, one piercing ray,
Would kindle darkness into day.
5 The veil of night is no disguise,
No screen from thy all-searching eyes.
Thy hand can seize thy foes as soon
Through midnight shades, as blazing noon.
6 O may these thoughts possess my breast,
Where'er I rove, where'er I rest!
Nor let my weaker passions dare
Consent to sin, for God is there.
Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through
Sweet is the mem'ry of thy grace
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #34 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the mem'ry of thy grace,
My God, my heav'nly King!
Let age to age thy righteousness
In sounds of glory sing.
2 God reigns on high, but not confines
His goodness to the skies.
Through the whole earth his bounty shines,
And ev'ry want supplies.
3 With longing eyes, thy creatures wait
On thee for daily food;
Thy lib'ral hand provides their meat,
And fills their mouths with good.
4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord!
How slow thine anger moves!
But soon he sends his pard'ning word
To cheer the souls he loves.
5 Creatures, with all their endless race,
Thy pow'r and praise proclaim;
But saints, who taste thy richer grace
Delight to bless thy name.
Sweet is the mem'ry of thy grace
Our souls with pleasing wonder view
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #35 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Our souls with pleasing wonder view
The bounties of thy grace;
How much bestow'd, how much reserv'd,
For those that seek thy face.
2 Thy lib'ral hand with worldly bliss
Oft makes their cup run o'er;
And in the cov'nant of thy love
They find diviner store.
3 Here mercy hides their num'rous sins;
Here grace their souls renews;
Here hope, and love, and joy, and peace
Their heav'nly beams diffuse.
4 But oh! what treasures yet unknown
Are lodg'd in worlds to come!
If these th'enjoyments of the way,
How happy is their home!
5 And what shall mortal worms reply?
Or how such goodness own?
But 'tis our joy, that, Lord, to thee
Thy servants' hearts are known.
6 Since time's too short, all-gracious God,
To utter half thy praise;
Loud, to the honour of thy name,
Eternal hymns we'll raise.
Our souls with pleasing wonder view
My soul, repeat his praise
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #36 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat his praise,
Whose mercies are so great;
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.
2 God will not always chide;
And, when his wrath is felt,
His strokes are fewer than our crimes,
And lighter than our guilt.
3 High as the heav'ns are raised
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of his grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.
4 His grace subdues our sins;
And his forgiving love,
Far as the east is from the west,
Doth all our guilt remove.
5 The pity of the Lord
To those who fear his name,
Is such as tender parents feel;
He knows our feeble frame.
6 Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower!
If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.
7 But thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.
My soul, repeat his praise
Amid the splendours of thy state
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #38 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Amid the splendours of thy state,
My God, thy love appears
With the soft radiance of the moon
Among a thousand stars.
2 Nature through all her ample round
Thy boundless power proclaims,
And, in melodious accent, speaks
The goodness of thy names.
3 Thy justice, holiness, and truth,
Our solemn awe excite;
But the sweet charms of sovereign grace
O’erwhelm us with delight.
4 Sinai, in clouds, and smoke, and fire,
Thunders thy dreadful name;
But Sion sings, in melting notes,
The honours of the Lamb.
5 In all thy doctrines and commands,
Thy counsels and designs,
In ev'ry work thy hands have fram'd,
Thy love supremely shines.
6 Angels and men the news proclaim,
Through earth and heaven above,
The joyful, the transporting news,
That God the Lord is Love!
Amid the splendours of thy state
Eternal and immortal King!
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #40 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Eternal and immortal King,
Thy peerless splendors none can bear;
But darkness veils seraphic eyes,
When God with all his glory’s there.
2 Yet faith can pierce the awful gloom,
The great Invisible can see;
And with its tremblings mingle joy,
In fix'd regard, great God! to thee.
3 Then every tempting form of sin,
Aw'd by thy presence, disappears;
And all the glowing raptur'd soul
The likeness, it contemplates, wears.
4 O ever conscious to my heart!
Witness to its supreme desire;
Behold it presses on to thee,
For it hath caught the heav'nly fire.
5 This one petition would it urge:
To bear thee ever in my sight!
In life, in death, in worlds unknown,
Its only portion and delight.
Eternal and immortal King!
Holy and rever'nd is the name
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #43 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Holy and rev'rend is the name
Of our eternal King/
Thrice holy, Lord! the angels cry:—
Thrice holy, let us sing.
2 Holy is he in all his works,
And saints are his delight;
But sinners and their wicked ways
Are hateful in his sight.
3 The deepest rev'rence, homage, love,
Pay, O my soul, to God;
Lift with thy hands a holy heart
To his sublime abode.
4 Thou righteous God! preserve my mind
From all pollution free;
Thine image form within my breast,
That I thy face may see.

Holy and rever'nd is the name
The heart, dejected, sighs to know
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #49 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 The heart, dejected, sighs to know,
Why vice triumphant reigns below;
Why saints have fall'n in ev'ry age,
The victims of tyrannic rage.
2 Fast roll successive years away;
Fast hastens on th' important day,
When, to th' astonish'd world's surprise,
God's high tribunal shall arise.
3 Hark, 'tis the trumpet's piercing sound;
The rising dead assemble round;
In close procession, see, they come,
Each to receive his final doom.
4 Lo! there, a vile, degenerate race;
Pale terror sits on ev'ry face:
Here, on the right, a joyful band,
The sons of suff'ring virtue stand.
5 The sentence pass'd, lo! these arise
To bliss and glory in the skies:
While those, who once stood high in fame,
Sink to contempt, remorse, and shame.
6 Thus shall God's government appear
Without a shade, divinely fair;
And blushing doubts, with joy, confess,
The Lord's a God of righteousness. Languages: English
The heart, dejected, sighs to know
Glory and Grace in the Person of Christ
Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #18 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: Now to the Lord a noble song! Lyrics: 1 Now to the Lord a noble song!
Awake, my soul; awake, my tongue!
Hosanna to the eternal name,
And all his boundless love proclaim!
2 See where it shines in Jesus’ face,
The brightest image of his grace!
God, in the person of his Son,
Has all his mightiest works outdone.
3 The spacious earth and spreading flood
Proclaim the wise, the powerful God;
And thy rich glories from afar
Sparkle in every rolling star.
4 But in his looks a glory stands,
The noblest labour of thy hands;
The pleasing lustre of his eyes
Outshines the wonders of the skies.
5 [Grace! ’tis a sweet, a charming theme!
My thoughts rejoice at Jesus’ name!
Ye angels, dwell upon the sound!
Ye heavens, reflect it to the ground!]
6 O may I live to reach the place
Where he unveils his lovely face,
Where all his beauties you behold,
And sing his name to harps of gold! Languages: English
Glory and Grace in the Person of Christ
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #22 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame,
Give to the Lord renown and pow'r;
Ascribe due honours to his name,
And his eternal might adore.
2 The Lord proclaims his pow'r aloud,
O'er the vast ocean and the land;
His voice divides the wat'ry cloud,
And lightnings blaze at his command.
3 He speaks, and howling tempests rise,
And lay the forest bare around:
The fiercest beasts, with piteous cries,
Confess the terror of the sound.
4 His thunders rend the vaulted skies,
And palaces and temples shake.
The mountains tremble at the noise,
The valleys roar, the deserts quake.
5 The Lord sits sov'reign o'er the flood;
The Thund'rer reigns for ever King;
But makes his church his blest abode,
Where we his awful glories sing.
6 We see no terrors in his name,
But in our God a Father find.
The voice, that shakes all nature's frame,
Speaks comfort to the pious mind.
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame
