Why should I love my sports so well

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: Why should I love my sports so well, So constant at my play, And lose the thoughts of heaven and hell, And then forget to pray? 76 What do I read my Bible for, But, Lord, to learn thy will? And shall I daily know thee more, And less obey thee still? How senseless is my heart, and wild! How vain are all my thoughts! Pity the weakness of a child, And pardon all my faults. Make me thy heavenly voice to hear, And let me love to pray; Since God will lend a gracious ear To what a child can say.

Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 190 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace! Thy bounties how complete! How shall we count the matchless sum, How pay the mighty debt? 2 High on a throne of radiant light Dost Thou exalted shine: What can our poverty bestow, When all the worlds are Thine? 3 But Thou hast brethren here below, The partners of Thy grace, And wilt confess their humble names Before Thy Father's face. 4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed, And visited and cheered; And in their accents of distress Our Saviour's voice is heard. 5 Thy face, with reverence and with love, We in Thy poor would see; Oh, may we minister to them, And in them, Lord, to Thee.

According to Thy Gracious Word

So, gracious Savior! on my breast, May Thy dear name be worn, A sacred ornament and guard, To endless ages borne. Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (Irons)
