When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 1,012 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived from whom those comforts flowed. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A grateful song I'll raise; But oh! eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise. Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Am I soldier of the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,001 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross? A foll'wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease? While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war Shall conquer though they die; They see the triumph from afar, With faith's discerning eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thine armies shine, In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 512 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power, Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss, Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry: Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n; He meets our eyes! Savior, teach us so to rise. Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE

My soul, repeat His praise

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 468 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 3 His grace subdues our sins, And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. 4 The pity of the Lord To those who fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 5 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. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

He gently knocks-- has knock'd before, Has waited long-- is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude, He stands With melting heart and loaded hands! O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes! 3 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need; The Friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Admit Him ere His anger burn; His feet, departed, ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand You'll at His door rejected stand.
