Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will
Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will,
Tumultuous passions all be still,
Nor let a murmuring thought arise;
His ways are just, his counsels wise.
2 In realms of cloudless light he dwells,
Performs his work, the cause conceals;
And though his footsteps are unknown,
Judgment and truth support his throne.
3 In heaven and earth and air and seas
He executes his firm decrees;
And by his saints it stands confessed
That what he does is ever best.
4 Wait, then, my soul, submissive wait,
With reverence bow before his seat,
And 'mid the terrors of his rod
Trust in a wise and gracious God. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Used With Tune: AMES

Awake, My Soul, Nor Slumbering Lie
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, nor slumbering lie,
Amid the gloomy haunts of death;
Perhaps the awful hour is nigh,
Commissioned for my parting breath.
2 That awful hour will soon appear,
Swift on the wings of time it flies,
When all that pains or pleases here,
Will vanish from my closing eyes.
3 Death calls my friends, my neighbors hence,
And none resist the fatal dart;
Continual warnings strike my sense,
And shall they fail to reach my heart?
4 Shall gay amusements rise between,
When scenes of horror spread around?
Death’s pointed arrows fly unseen,
But ah, how sure, how deep they wound!
5 Think, O my soul, how much depends,
On the short period of a day;
Shall time, which Heaven in mercy lends,
Be negligently thrown away?
6 Thy remnant minutes strive to use,
Awake! rouse every active power!
And not in dreams or trifles lose,
This little now! this precious hour!
7 Lord of my life, inspire my heart,
With heavenly ardor, grace divine;
Nor let Thy presence e’er depart,
For strength, and life, and death are Thine.
8 O teach me the celestial skill,
Each awful warning to improve!
And while my days are shortening still,
Prepare me for the joys above.
9 Ensure my nobler life on high,
Life, from a dying Savior’s blood!
Then, though my minutes swiftly fly,
They bear me nearer to my God. Used With Tune: AMES Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

O Lord, Thy Heavenly Grace Impart
Author: Jean-Frédéric Oberlin; Lucy L. Wilson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thy heavenly grace impart,
And fix, my frail, inconstant heart;
Henceforth my chief desire shall be,
To dedicate myself to Thee.
2 Whate’er pursuits my time employ,
One thought shall fill my soul with joy;
That silent, secret hope shall be,
That all my hopes are fixed on Thee.
3 Thy glorious eye pervadeth space;
Thy presence Lord, fills every place;
And, whersoe’er my lot may be,
Still shall my spirit cleave to Thee.
4 Renouncing every worldly thing,
And safe beneath Thy spreading wing,
My sweetest thought henceforth shall be,
That all I want I find in Thee. Used With Tune: AMES Text Sources: Memoirs of John Frederic Oberlin, London: 1829

Lord, Thou Hast Called Thy Grace to Mind
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, Thou hast called Thy grace to mind,
Thou hast reversed our heavy doom;
So God forgave when Israel sinned,
And brought His wandering captives home.
2. Thou hast begun to set us free,
And made Thy fiercest wrath abate;
Now let our hearts be turned to Thee,
And Thy salvation be complete.
3. Revive our dying graces, Lord,
And let Thy saints in Thee rejoice;
Make known Thy truth, fulfill Thy word;
We wait for praise to tune our voice.
4. We wait to hear what God will say;
He’ll speak, and give His people peace;
But let them run no more astray,
Lest His returning wrath increase. Used With Tune: AMES Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Lord, Thou Hast Called Thy Grace to Mind
Thine, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone
Author: Ernest Lange Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone;
Justice and truth before thee stand:
Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne
Mercy withholds thy lifted hand.
2 Each evening shows thy tender love,
Each rising morn thy plenteous grace;
Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move,
Thy willing mercy flies apace.
3 To thy benign, indulgent care,
Father, this light, this breath, we owe;
And all we have, and all we are,
From thee, great Source of being, flow.
4 Thrice Holy! thine the kingdom is,
The power omnipotent is thine;
And when created nature dies,
Thy never-ceasing glories shine.
