Blessing God for his Goodness to Soul and Body

Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Afflictions gentle; Afflictions gentle First Line: Bless, O my soul, the living God Lyrics: 1 Bless, O my soul, the living God, Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad, Let all the powers within me join In work and worship so divine. 2 Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favours claim thy highest praise: Why should the wonders he hath wrought Be lost in silence, and forgot? 3 'Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son To die for crimes, which thou hast done: He owns the ransom, and forgives The hourly follies of our lives. 4 The vices of the mind he heals, And cures the pains that nature feels, Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threatening graves. 5 Our youth decay'd his power repairs, His mercy crowns our growing years: He fills our store with every good, And feeds our souls with heavenly food. 6 He sees th' oppressor and th' opprest, And often gives the sufferers rest; But will his justice more display In the last great rewarding day. 7 [His power he shew'd by Moses' hands, And gave to Israel his commands; But sent his truth and mercy down To all the nations by his Son.] 8 Let the whole earth his power confess, Let the whole earth adore his grace; The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine. Scripture: Psalm 103:1-7

Behold, where in a mortal form

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: Gentleness Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine; The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy; To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was His divine employ. 3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn, Patient and meek He stood; His foes, ungrateful, sought His life; He labor'd for their good. 4 To God He left His righteous cause, And still His task pursued; While humble prayer and holy faith His fainting strength renew'd. 5 In the last hours of deep distress, Before His Father's throne, With soul resign'd He bow'd, and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done." 6 Be Christ our pattern and our guide, His image may we bear! Oh, may we tread His holy steps, His joy and glory share!
