O Lord, My Inmost Heart and Thought

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my inmost heart and thought Thy searching eye doth see; Where'er I rest, where'er I go, My ways are known to Thee. 2 Each spoken word, each silent thought, Thou, Lord, dost understand; Before me and behind art Thou, Restraining by Thy hand. 3 If I the wings of morning take To some remotest land, Still I shall be upheld by Thee And guided by Thy hand. 4 From Thee, O Lord, I cannot hide, Though darkness cover me; The darkness and the light of day Are both alike to Thee. 5 Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, my thoughts to know; O lead me, if in sin I stray, In paths of life to go. Amen. Topics: God Guide; God Presence; God the Father His Presence Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: WALSALL Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

No Man, Nor Angel, Can Compare

Author: Susannah Harrison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 No man, nor angel, can compare With our almighty Lord: To speak like Him what seraph dare, Or imitate His word? 2 Who can command the dead to rise, With a prevailing power? Who can pour light on sightless eyes? The sick to health restore? 3 Whose word can fiends infernal tame; Or furious winds control? Unstop deaf ears; or cure the lame; Or make the wounded whole? 4 One word from Jesus this performs, And proves His power divine; His breath can still the roughest storms, Leviathan confine! 5 None else could expiate my guilt, Nor save one soul from hell; Not all the blood of mortals spilt Since our first parents fell. 6 Jesus for me fulfilled the law, And justice satisfied; My guilt and misery He saw, And for my ransom died. 7 Love such as His can ne’er be found, His grace is rich indeed; Such words as His there’s none can sound, Nor do as Jesus did.

Oh Lord, We Tremble At Thy Frown

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh Lord, we tremble at Thy frown, And dread Thy scourging hand; The varied sins and crimes we own, Of this our guilty land. 2 But spare, oh Lord, in mercy spare The herbage of the field; And under Thy paternal care, May it abundance yield. 3 Restrain the solar fervid ray, And grant refreshing rains; Restore the verdure from decay, And drench the parchèd plains. 4 But speak the word, and soon shall rise The faint and withered grain; And hopeful prospects of supplies, Our hearts shall raise again. 5 Then we our gratitude will show, To our preserver, God; Our songs of melody shall flow, And spread His praise abroad.
