Thou Great Mysterious God Unknown

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou great mysterious God unknown, Whose love hath gently led me on, E’en from my infant days, Mine inmost soul expose to view, And tell me if I ever knew Thy justifying grace, Thy justifying grace. 2. If I have only known Thy fear, And followed, with a heart sincere, Thy drawings from above, Now, let the further grace bestow, And let my sprinkled conscience know Thy sweet forgiving love, Thy sweet forgiving love. 3. Father, in me reveal Thy Son, And to my inmost soul make known How merciful Thou art; The secret of Thy love reveal, And by Thy hallowing Spirit dwell Forever in my heart, Forever in my heart! 4. If now the witness were in me, Would He not testify of Thee, In Jesus reconciled? And should I not with faith draw nigh, And boldly, Abba, Father, cry, And know myself Thy child, And know myself Thy child? Used With Tune: ARIEL Text Sources: Redemption Hymns, 1747

O Thou, That Hear'st the Prayer of Faith

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 197 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou, that hear’st the prayer of faith, Wilt Thou not save a soul from death, That casts itself on Thee? I have no refuge of my own, But fly to what my Lord has done, And suffered, once for me. 2. Slain in the guilty sinner’s stead, His spotless righteousness I plead, And His atoning blood: Thy righteousness my robe shall be, Thy merit shall avail for me, And bring me near to God. 3. Then snatch me from eternal death, The Spirit of adoption breathe, His consolation send: By Him some word of life impart, And sweetly whisper to my heart, Thy maker is thy friend. 4. The king of terrors then would be A welcome messenger to me, To bid me come away: Unclogged by earth, or earthly things, I’d mount, I’d fly with eager wings, To everlasting day.

When Thou, My Righteous Judge

Author: Lady Huntingdon Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 441 hymnals First Line: When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come Lyrics: 1. When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come To take Thy ransomed people home, Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at Thy right hand? 2. I love to meet among them now, Before Thy gracious feet to bow, Though vilest of them all: But can I bear the piercing tho't, What if my name should be left out, When Thou for them shalt call? 3. Prevent, prevent it by Thy grace; Be Thou, dear Lord, my hiding-place. In this th' accepted day; Thy pard'ning voice, O let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear, Nor let me fall, I pray. 4. Let me among Thy saints be found, Whene'er th' archangel's trump shall sound, To see Thy smiling face; Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing, While heav'n resounding mansions ring With shouts of sov'reign grace.

Low at thy feet, oh God, I fall,Be thou my light, my strength, my all,In times of deep distress;On thee I cast my loads of care,To thee I make my earnest prayer,And all my guilt confess.2. Though great the score, still, Lord, I cry,Oh be that mercy ever nigh,Procured by blood divine;To one so vile, thy grace display,Take all my crimson stains away,And tell me I am thine.3. One word from thee will give relief,One look alleviate my grief,And sacred peace afford;Thy promises so rich and free,Are made to sinners such as meOh hear thy servant, Lord.

Thou God of Glorious Majesty

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou God of glorious majesty, To Thee, against myself, to Thee, A worm of earth, I cry; A half-awakened child of man; An heir of endless bliss or pain; A sinner born to die! 2. Lo! on a narrow neck of land, ’Twixt two unbounded seas I stand, Secure, insensible; A point of time, a moment’s space, Removes me to that heavenly place, Or shuts me up in hell. 3. O God, mine inmost soul convert! And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress: Give me to feel their solemn weight, And tremble on the brink of fate, And wake to righteousness. 4. Before me place, in dread array, The pomp of that tremendous day, When Thou with clouds shalt come, To judge the nations at Thy bar; And tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom? 5. Be this my one great business here, With serious industry and fear Eternal bliss to ensure; Thine utmost counsel to fulfill, And suffer all Thy righteous will, And to the end endure. 6. Then, Savior, then my soul receive, Transported from this vale to live And reign with Thee above; Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope in full supreme delight, And everlasting love.

What is the World?

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: What is the World?--a wildering maze, Where sin hath track'd ten thousand ways, Her victims to ensnare; All broad, and winding, and aslope, All tempting with perfidious hope, All ending in despair. 25 Millions of pilgrims throng those roads, Bearing their baubles or their loads, Down to eternal night; --One only path that never bends, Narrow, and rough, and steep, ascends From darkness into light. Is there no guide to show that path? The Bible!--He alone who hath The Bible need not stray; But He who hath, and will not give That light of life to all that live, Himself shall lose the way.

Lord, Thou Hast Won

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals First Line: Lord, Thou hast won, at length I yield Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast won, at length I yield, My heart, by mighty grace compelled, Surrenders all to Thee; Against Thy terrors long I strove, But who can stand against Thy love? Love conquers even me. 2 All that a wretch could do, I tried, Thy patience scorned, Thy power defied, And trampled on Thy laws; Scarcely Thy martyrs at the stake, Could stand more steadfast for Thy sake, Than I in Satan’s cause. 3 But since Thou hast Thy love revealed, And shown my soul a pardon sealed, I can resist no more: Couldst Thou for such a sinner bleed? Canst Thou for such a rebel plead? I wonder and adore! 4 If Thou hadst bid Thy thunders roll, And lightnings flash to blast my soul, I still had stubborn been: But mercy has my heart subdued, A bleeding Savior I have viewed, And now, I hate my sin. 5 Now, Lord, I would be Thine alone, Come take possession of Thine own, For Thou hast set me free; Released from Satan’s hard command, See all my powers waiting stand, To be employed by Thee. 6 My will conformed to Thine would move, On Thee my hope, desire, and love, In fixed attention join; My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue, Have Satan’s servants been too long, But now they shall be Thine. 7 And can I be the very same, Who lately durst blaspheme Thy name, And on Thy Gospel tread? Surely each one, who hears my case, Will praise Thee, and confess Thy grace Invincible indeed! Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1
