Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Hope in darkness; Patience in darkness Lyrics: Why should this earth delight us so? Why should we fix our eyes On these low grounds where sorrows grow, And every pleasure dies ? While time his sharpest teeth prepares Our comforts to devour, There is a land above the stars, And joys above his power. Nature shall be dissolved and die, The sun must end his race, The earth and sea for ever fly Before my Savior's face. When will that glorious morning rise? When the last trumpet sound, And call the nations to the skies, From underneath the ground? Scripture: Psalm 77

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 162 hymnals Topics: Hope in darkness; Patience in darkness Lyrics: Long have I sat beneath the sound Of thy salvation, Lord; But still how weak my faith is found, And knowledge of thy word! Oft I frequent thy holy place, And hear almost in vain; How small a portion of thy grace My memory can retain! [My dear Almighty, and my God, How little art thou known By all the judgments of thy rod, And blessings of thy throne!] How cold and feeble is my love! How negligent my fear! How low my hope of joys above! How few affections there! Great God! thy sovereign power impart To give thy word success; Write thy salvation in my heart, And make me learn thy grace. [Show my forgetful feet the way That leads to joys on high; There knowledge grows without decay, And love shall never die.] Scripture: Psalm 77

The Christian in darkness

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Christian In darkness; Darkness Lamented; Christian In darkness; Darkness Lamented First Line: Saviour, shine and cheer my soul Lyrics: 1 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul, Bid my dying hopes revive; make my wounded spirit whole, Far away the tempter drive: Speak the word, and set me free, Let me live alone to thee. 2 Once I thought my mountain strong, Firmly fix'd no more to move; Then thy grace was all my song, Then my soul was fill'd with love; Those were happy golden days, Sweetly spent in pray'r and praise. 3 Little, then myself I knew, Little thought of Satan's pow'r; Now I feel my sins anew, Now I feel the stormy hour! Sin has put my joys to flight, Sin has chang'd my day to night. 4 Satan asks, and mocks my woe, "Boaster, where is now your God? Silence, Lord, this cruel foe, Let him know I'm bought with blood: Tell him, since I know thy name, Though I change, thou art the same.
