Ye Servants of Th'Almighty King

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: Ye servants of th’ Almighty King Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of th’Almighty King, In every age His praises sing; Where’er the sun shall rise or set, The nations shall His praise repeat. 2 Above the earth, beyond the sky, Stands His high throne of majesty; Nor time nor place His power restrain, Nor bound His universal reign. 3 Which of the sons of Adam dare, Or angels, with their God compare? His glories how divinely bright, Who dwells in uncreated light! 4 Behold His love! He stoops to view What saints above and angels do; And condescends yet more to know The mean affairs of men below. 5 From dust and cottages obscure, His grace exalts the humble poor; Gives them the honor of His sons, And fits them for their heav’nly thrones. 6 A word of His creating voice Can make the barren house rejoice; Though Sarah’s ninety years were past, The promised seed is born at last. 7 With joy the mother views her son, And tells the wonders God has done: Faith may grow strong when sense despairs, If nature fails, the promise bears.

Lord, how mysterious are thy ways!

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, how mysterious are thy ways! How blind are we, how mean our praise! Thy steps no mortal eyes explore; 'Tis ours to wonder and adore. 2 I do not ask that I may see What in the future waits for me; Let righteousness attend my days, And thine shall be the humble praise. 3 Are darkness and distress my share? Give me to trust thy guardian care; Enough for me, if love divine At length through every cloud shall shine. 4 Yet this my soul desires to know, Be this my only wish below, That Christ is mine! this great request, Grant, bounteous God, and I am blest.

Come hither, all ye weary souls

Appears in 323 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come hither, all ye weary souls, Ye heavy-laden sinners, come; I'll give you rest from all your toils, And raise you to my heavenly home. 2 They shall find rest that learn of me; I'm of a meek and lowly mind; But passion rages like the sea, And pride is restless as the wind. 3 Blest is the man whose shoulders take My yoke, and bear it with delight; My yoke is easy to his neck, My grace shall make the burden light. 4 Jesus! we come at thy command, With faith, and hope, and humble zeal, Resign our spirits to thy hand, To mold and guide us at thy will.
