I to the hills will lift mine eyes

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I to the hills will lift mine eyes; from whence doth come mine aid? My safety cometh from the Lord, who heaven and earth hath made. 2 Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will he slumber that thee keeps; behold, he that keeps Israel, he slumbers not, nor sleeps. 3 The Lord thee keeps; the Lord thy shade on thy right hand doth stay: the moon by night thee shall not smite, nor yet the sun by day. 4 The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall preserve thee from all ill; henceforth thy going out and in God keep for ever will.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in generations all. 2 Before thou ever hadst brought forth the mountains great or small; ere ever thou hadst formed the earth, and all the world abroad; thou even from everlasting art to everlasting God. 3 Thou, Lord, unto destruction dost man that is mortal turn; and unto them thou sayest, Again, ye sons of men, return. 4 Because a thousand years appear no more before thy sight than yesterday when it is past, or than a watch by night. 5 As with an overflowing flood thou carriest them away: they like a sleep are, like the grass that grows at morn are they. 6 At morn it flourishes and grows, cut down at even doth fade. 7 For by thine anger we’re consumed, thy wrath makes us afraid. 8 Our sins thou and iniquities dost in thy presence place, and sett’st our secret faults before the brightness of thy face. 9 For in thine anger all our days do pass on to an end; and as a tale that hath been told, so we our years do spend. 10 Threescore and ten years do sum up our days and years, we see; or if, by reason of more strength, in some fourscore they be; yet doth the strength of such old men but grief and labour prove; for it is soon cut off, and we fly hence, and soon remove. 11 Who knows thine anger's power, and keeps thy fear before his eyes? 12 To count our days so teach thou us that our hearts may be wise.

After thy loving-kindness, Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 After thy loving-kindness, Lord, have mercy upon me: for thy compassions great, blot out all mine iniquity. 2 Me cleanse from sin, and throughly wash from mine iniquity; 3 for my transgressions I confess; my sin I ever see. 4 ’Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinned, in thy sight done this ill; that when thou speak’st thou may’st be just, and clear in judging still. 5 Behold, I in iniquity was formed the womb within; My mother also me conceived in guiltiness and sin. 6 Behold, thou in the inward parts with truth delighted art; and wisdom thou shalt make me know within the hidden part. 7 Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me, I shall be cleansed so; yea, wash thou me, and then I shall be whiter than the snow. 8 Of gladness and of joyfulness make me to hear the voice, that so these very bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 All mine iniquities blot out, thy face hide from my sin. 10 Create a clean heart, Lord, renew a right spirit me within. 11 Cast me not from thy sight, nor take thy Holy Spirit away: 12 restore me thy salvation’s joy; with thy free Spirit me stay. 13 Then will I teach thy ways unto those that transgressors be; and those that sinners are shall then be turned unto thee. 14 O God, of my salvation God, from guilt of blood me free: then of thy righteousness my tongue shall sing, aloud to thee. 15 My closed lips, O Lord, by thee let them be opened; then shall thy praises by my mouth abroad be published. 16 Thou sacrifice desirest not, else would I give it thee; nor wilt thou with burnt-offering at all delighted be. 17 A broken spirit is to God a pleasing sacrifice: A broken and a contrite heart, Lord, thou wilt not despise. 18 In thy good pleasure do thou good to Zion, thine own hill: the walls of thy Jerusalem build up of thy good will. 19 Then righteous offerings shall thee please, and offerings burnt which they, with whole burnt-offerings, and with calves, shall on thine altar lay.

O Thou, the Eternal Son of God

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou, the eternal Son of God, The Lamb, for sinners slain, We worship, while Thy head is bowed In agony and pain. 2. None tread with Thee the holy place; Thou sufferest alone; Thine is the perfect sacrifice Which only can atone. 3. Thou great High Priest, Thy glory robes Today are set aside; And human sorrows, Son of Man, Thy Godhead seem to hide. 4. The cross is sharp, but in Thy woe This is the lightest part; Our sin it is which pierces Thee, And breaks Thy sacred heart. 5. Who love Thee most, at Thy dear cross, Will truest, Lord, abide; Make Thou that cross our only hope, O Jesus crucified. Used With Tune: ST. MARY
