Stay, Thou Insulted Spirit, Stay

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 397 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay, Though I have done Thee such despite, Nor cast the sinner quite away, Nor take Thine everlasting flight. 2. Though I have steeled my stubborn heart, And still shook off my guilty fears, And vexed, and urged Thee to depart, For many long rebellious years; 3. Though I have most unfaithful been Of all who e’er Thy grace received, Ten thousand times Thy goodness seen, Ten thousand times Thy goodness grieved; 4. Yet O! the chief of sinners spare, In honor of my great High Priest, Nor in Thy righteous anger swear T’exclude me from Thy people’s rest. 5. This only woe I deprecate. This only plague I pray remove; Nor leave me in my lost estate, Nor curse me with this want of love. 6. If yet Thou canst my sins forgive, From now, O Lord, relieve my woes, Into Thy rest of love receive, And bless me with calm repose. 7. Now, Lord, my weary soul release, Upraise me with Thy gracious hand. And guide into Thy perfect peace, And bring me to the promised land.

Christ's Inheritance

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: O wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 O wherefore do the nations rage, And kings and rulers strive in vain, Against the Lord of earth and heav'n To overthrow Messiah's reign? 2 Their strength is weakness in the sight Of him who sits enthroned above; He speaks, and judgments fall on them Who tempt His wrath and scorn His love. 3 By God's decree His Son receives The nations for His heritage; The conqu'ring Christ supreme shall reign As King of kings, from age to age. 4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, And serve the Lord with godly fear; With rev'rent joy confess the Son While yet in mercy He is near. 5 Delay not, lest His anger rise, And ye should perish in your way; Lo, all that put their trust in Him Are blest indeed, and blest for aye.

I know Thou lov'st me still as Thine, Though 'gainst me the world and hell combine. 2 I trust in Thee, whom I adore; If I have Thee, what need I more? And, O Lord Jesus, Thou art mine: And blest am I that I am Thine! 3 This sweet assurance bids my heart Abide Thy time, till clouds shall part; To Thee I'll trust me wholly then, And cry: Lord, help me!

God is the name my soul adores

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 82 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is the name my soul adores, Almighty, high, Eternal One: Both heaven and earth, with all their powers, Proclaim the Infinite Unknown. 2 Thy voice ordained the rolling spheres, And bade the countless planets shine; But nothing like thyself appears Through all these spacious works of thine. 3 Still restless nature dies and grows, From change to change thy creatures run; Thy being no succession knows, And all thy vast designs are one. 4 A glance of thine runs through the globe, Rules the bright worlds, and moves their frame; Of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe; Thy ministers are living flame. 5 How shall polluted mortals dare To sing thy glory or thy grace? Beneath thy feet we lie afar, And see but shadows of thy face. 6 Who can behold the blazing light? Who can approach consuming flame? None but thy wisdom knows thy might; None but thy word can speak thy name. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE
