Longing after God

Appears in 276 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Great God, indulge my humble claim Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my humble claim Be thou my joy, my hope my rest The glories that compose thy name, Stand all engag'd to make me blest. 2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise, Be thou my father and my God; And make me thine by sacred ties, Thy Son thy servant bought with blood. 3 With heart and eyes and lifted hands, For thee I long, for thee I look; As travellers in thirsty lands, Pant for the cooling water brook. 4 O may thy love inspire my tongue, Salvation shall be all my song; And all my power shall join to bless, The Lord my strength and Righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 63

Immutability of God

Author: Dr. Doddridge Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Great Former of this various frame Lyrics: 1 Great Former of this various frame, Our souls adore thine awful name; And bow and tremble, while they praise The ancient of eternal days. 2 Thou, Lord, with unsurpris'd survey, Saw'st nature rising yesterday; And, as tomorrow, shall thine eye See earth and stars in ruin lie. 3 Beyond an angel's vision bright, Thou dwell'st in self-existent light. Which shines with undiminish'd ray, While suns and worlds in smoke decay. 4 Our days a transient period run, And change with ev'ry circling sun, And in the firmest state we boast, A moth can crush us into dust. 5 But let the creatures fall around; Let death consign us to the ground, Let the last general flame arise, And melt the Arches of the skies: 6 Calm as the summer's ocean, we, Can all the wreck of nature see, While grace secures us an abode, Unshaken as the throne of God.

When shall the means of healing be The channels of thy grace to me? 2 Sinners on every side step in, And wash away their pain and sin; But I, an helpless sin-sick soul, Still ie expiring at the Pool. 3 Thou cov'nant angel swift come down, To-day thine own appointments crown; Thy power into the means infuse, And give them now their sacred use. 4 Thou seest me lying at the Pool. I would, thou know'st I would be whole; O let the troubled waters move, And minister thy healing love. Scripture: John 5:2-4

Scripture: Luke 5:5

Scripture: Psalm 136
