O Lord, our heavenly King

Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Doubts and Fears suppressed Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our heavenly King, Thy Name is all Divine; Thy Glories round the Earth are spread, And o'er the Heav'ns they shine. 2 When to thy Works on high I raise my wond'ring Eyes, And see the Moon complete in Light Adorn the darksome Skies 3 When I survey the Stars, And all their shining Forms, Lord, what is Man, that worthless Thing, A kin to Dust and Worms? 4 Lord, what is worthless Man, That thou shouldst love him so? Next to thine Angels is he plac'd, And Lord of all below. 5 Thine Honours crown his Head, While Beasts, like Slaves obey, And Birds that cut the Air with Wings, And Fish that cleave the Sea. 6 How rich thy Bounties are! And wond'rous are thy Ways: Of Dust and Worms thy Pow'r can frame A Monument of Praise. 7 [Out of the Mouths of Babes And Sucklings, thou canst draw Surprizing Honours to thy Name, And strike the World with Awe. 8 O Lord, our heav'nly King, Thy Name is all Divine: Thy Glories round the Earth are spread, And o'er the Heav'ns they shine.] Scripture: Psalm 8

Blest Morning, whose young dawning Rays

Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Fears and Doubts suppressed Lyrics: 1 Blest Morning, whose first dawning Rays Beheld our rising God, That saw him triumph o'er the Dust, And leave his dark Abode. 2 In the cold Prison of a Tomb, The dead Redeemer lay, Till the revolving Skies had brought The Third, th’ appointed Day. 3 Hell and the Grave unite their Force To hold our God in vain, The sleeping Conqueror arose, And burst their feeble Chain. 4 To thy great Name, Almighty Lord, These sacred Hours we pay, And loud Hosannas shall proclaim The Triumphs of the Day. [5 Salvation and immortal Praise To our victorious King; Let Heav’n, and Earth, and Rocks and Seas, With glad Hosannas ring.]

Happy the hours, the golden days

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 Happy the hours, the golden days, When I could call my Jesus mine, And sit, and view his smiling face, And melt in pleasures all divine. 2 But now he's gone (O mighty wo!) Gone from my soul and hides his love! I hate the sins that griev'd him so, The sins that forc'd him to remove! 3 Yet let my hope look through my tears, And spy afar his rolling throne, His chariot through the cleaving spheres Shall bring the bright Beloved down. 4 Swift as a roe flies o'er the hills, My soul springs out to meet him high: Then shall the conqu'ror turn his wheels And climb the mansions of the sky.

Sweet was the time when first I felt

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 343 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood, Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light reveal'd His praises tun'd my tongue; And, when the evening shades prevail'd, His love was all my song. 3 In vain the tempter spread his wiles, The world no more could charm; I liv'd upon my Saviour's smiles, And lean'd upon his arm. 4 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord, And saw his glory shine; And, when I read his holy word, I called each promise mine. 5 Then to his saints I often spoke, Of what his love had done; But now my heart is almost broke, For all my joys are gone. 6 Now when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns; And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns. 7 My prayers are now a chatt'ring noise, For Jesus hides his face! I read, the promise meets my eyes, But will not reach my case. 8 Now Satan threatens to prevail, And make my soul his prey; Yet, Lord, thy mercies cannot fail, O come without delay! Scripture: Job 29:2

O my soul, what means this sadness?

Meter: Irregular Appears in 188 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 O my soul, what means this sadness? Wherefore art thou thus cast down? Let thy griefs be turn'd to gladness, Bid thy restless fears be gone; Look to Jesus And rejoice in his dear name. 2 What tho' satan's strong temptations Vex and grieve thee day by day? And thy sinful inclinations Often fill thee with dismay? Thou shalt conquer, Thro' the Lamb's redeeming blood. 3 Tho' ten thousand ills beset thee, From without and from within, Jesus saith he'll ne'er forget thee, But will save from hell and sin: He is faithful To perform his gracious word. 4 Tho' distresses now attend thee, And thou tread'st the thorny road, His right hand shall still defend thee; Soon he'll bring thee home to God! Therefore praise him-- Praise the great Redeemer's name. 5 O that I could now adore him Like the heavenly host above, Who for ever bow before him And unceasing, sing his love! Happy songsters! When shall I your chorus join? Scripture: Psalm 42:5

O could I find some peaceful bow'r

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 O could I find some peaceful bow'r, Whee sin has neither place nor pow'r; This traitor vile, I fain would shun, But cannot from his presence run. 2 When to the throne of grace I flee, He stands between my God and me, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest, I feel him working in my breast. 3 When I attempt to soar above, To view the heights of Jesus' love; This monster seems to mount the skies, And veils his glory to mine eyes. 4 Lord, free me from this deadly foe, Which keeps my faith and hope so low; I long to dwell in heaven, my home, Where not one sinful thought can come.
