O Lord, I would delight in thee

Author: John Ryland Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 243 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I would delight in thee, And on thy care depend; To thee in ev'ry trouble flee, My best, my only Friend. 2 When all created streams are dried, Thy fulness is the same; May I with this be satisfied, And glory in thy Name. 3 No good in creatures can be found, But may be found in thee; I must have all things and abound, While God is God to me. 4 O that I had a stronger faith, To look within the veil! To credit what my Saviour saith, Whose Word can never fail! 5 He that has made my heav'n secure, Will here all good provide; While Christ is rich, can I be poor? What can I want beside? 6 O Lord, I cast my care on thee; I triumph and adore: Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and please thee more. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 37:4 Used With Tune: BELMONT

Author: Watts Appears in 222 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Communion with God; Communion with Christ Desired; Sin and sorrow laid before God; Sorrow laid before God First Line: O that I knew the secret place Lyrics: 1 O that I knew the secret place Where I might find my God! I'd spread my wants before his face, And pour my woes abroad. 2 I'd tell him how my sins arise, What sorrows I sustain; How grace decays, and comfort dies, And leaves my heart in pain. 3 He knows what arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God; I'd plead for his own mercy's sake, And for my Savior's blood. 4 My God will pity my complaints, And heal my broken bones; He takes the meaning of his saints, The language of their groans. 5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress, And banish every fear; He calls thee to his throne of grace, To spread thy sorrows there. Scripture: Job 23:3-4 Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Sermons

Praise ye, praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 106 Used With Tune: NOTTINGHAM
