Encouraged By Thy Word
Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Encouraged by Thy word
Of promise to the poor;
Behold, a beggar, Lord,
Waits at Thy mercy’s door!
No hand, no heart, O Lord, but Thine,
Can help or pity wants like mine.
2 The beggar’s usual plea
Relief from men to gain,
If offered unto Thee,
I know Thou would’st disdain:
And pleas which move Thy gracious ear,
Are such as men would scorn to hear.
3 I have no right to say
That though I now am poor,
Yet once there was a day
When I possessèd more:
Thou know’st that from my very birth,
I’ve been the poorest wretch on earth.
4 Nor can I dare profess,
As beggars often do,
Though great is my distress,
My wants have been but few:
If Thou shouldst leave my soul to starve,
It would be what I well deserve.
5 ’Twere folly to pretend
I never begged before;
Or if Thou now befriend,
I’ll trouble Thee no more:
Thou often hast relieved my pain,
And often I must come again.
6 Though crumbs are much too good
For such a dog as I;
No less than children’s food
My soul can satisfy:
O do not frown and bid me go,
I must have all Thou canst bestow.
7 Nor can I willing be
Thy bounty to conceal
From others, who like me,
Their wants and hunger feel:
I’ll tell them of Thy mercy’s store,
And try to send a thousand more.
8 Thy thoughts, Thou only wise!
Our thoughts and ways transcend,
Far as the archèd skies
Above the earth extend:
Such pleas as mine men would not bear,
But God receives a beggar’s prayer. Used With Tune: VIA PACIS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

Sinner's Friend
Ye Tribes Of Adam, Join
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 173 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye tribes of Adam, join
With Heav’n, and earth, and seas,
And offer notes divine
To your creator’s praise:
Ye holy throng of angels bright,
In worlds of light, begin the song.
2 Thou sun with dazzling rays,
And moon that rules the night,
Shine to your maker’s praise,
With stars of twinkling light:
His power declare, ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly in empty air.
3 The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move,
By His supreme command:
He spake the word, and all their frame
From nothing came, to praise the Lord.
4 He moved their mighty wheels
In unknown ages past,
And each His word fulfills
While time and nature last:
In different ways His works proclaim
His wondrous name, and speak His praise.
5 Let all the earth-born race,
And monsters of the deep
The fish that cleave the seas,
Or in their bosom sleep;
From sea and shore their tribute pay,
And still display their maker’s power.
6 Ye vapors, hail, and snow,
Praise ye th’almighty Lord,
And stormy winds that blow,
To execute His word:
When lightnings shine, or thunders roar,
Let earth adore His hand divine.
7 Ye mountains near the skies,
With lofty cedars there,
And trees of humbler size,
That fruit in plenty bear;
Beasts wild and tame, birds, flies, and worms,
In various forms, exalt His name.
8 Ye kings and judges, fear
The Lord, the sovereign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heav’nly honors sing;
Nor let the dream of power and state
Make you forget His power supreme.
9 Virgins and youths, engage
To sound His praise divine,
While infancy and age
Their feebler voices join:
Wide as He reigns His name be sung
By every tongue in endless strains.
10 Let all the nations fear
The God that rules above;
He brings His people near,
And makes them taste His love:
While earth and sky attempt His praise,
His saints shall raise His honors high. Used With Tune: LENOX Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand
Yes, the Redeemer Rose
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 227 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Yes, the Redeemer rose,
the Savior left the dead,
And o’er our hellish foes
high raised His conquering head.
In wild dismay the guards around,
Fall to the ground and sink away.
2. Lo! the angelic bands
in full assembly meet,
To wait His high commands
and worship at His feet.
Joyful they come, and wing their way
From realms of day to see His tomb.
3. Then back to Heav’n they fly
and the glad tidings bear.
Hark! as they soar on high,
what music fills the air!
Their anthems say, Jesus, who bled,
Hath left the dead, He rose today.
4. Ye mortals, catch the sound,
redeemed by Him from hell;
And send the echo round
the globe on which you dwell:
Transported, cry, Jesus, who bled,
Hath left the dead, no more to die.
5. All hail! triumphant Lord,
who sav’st us with Thy blood;
Wide be Thy name adored,
Thou rising, reigning God!
With Thee we rise, with Thee we reign,
And empires gain beyond the skies. Used With Tune: LAUS DEO Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

O'er Hoarse Atlantic's Wave
Author: Maria Popple, 1796-1847 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O’er hoarse Atlantic’s wave Lyrics: 1 O’er hoarse Atlantic’s wave,
From Afric comes the cry,
O Christians! haste and save,
Ere in our want we die!
Our starving souls have ne’er been fed;
Oh! bring to us the Living Bread!
2 And broad Pacific’s shore
Re-echoes with the call,
From China wafted o’er,
Beseeching one and all
To kindle in the flowery clime
The Lamp of Life, the Light divine.
3 And India’s myriad sons
Stretch forth their dusky hands;
Crying, O favored ones,
Who dwell in Gospel lands,
Send to our longing, thirsty souls
The stream that with salvation rolls.
4 And shall we careless live
With these great gifts in store?
Nor from our fullness give
To spread from shore to shore
Glad tidings from the courts above
Of our Immanuel’s boundless love?
5 Pardon our coldness, Lord!
Our languid souls inspire.
May Thy life giving Word
Kindle a holy fire
In every heart that owns Thy sway
And hasten the millennial day! Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

And reaps the fruits of all His love.
3 All hail, triumphant Lord!
Heaven with hosannas rings,
And earth, in humbler strains,
Thy praise responsive sings:
Worthy the Lamb that once was slain,
Through endless years to live and reign.
4 Great King, gird on Thy sword,
Ascend Thy conquering car;
While justice, truth, and love
Maintain Thy glorious war:
This day let sinners own Thy sway,
And rebels cast their arms awa Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH
