Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord, Bless'd is the man that hears my word; Keeps daily watch before my gates, And at my feet for mercy waits. 2 The soul that seeks me shall obtain Immortal wealth, and heav'nly gain, Immortal life is his reward, Life, and the favour of the Lord. 3 But the vile wretch that flies from me, Doth his own soul an injury; Fools that against my grace rebel, Seek death, and love the road to hell.

Stennett Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Come sinners, saith the mighty God Lyrics: 1 Come sinners, saith the mighty God Heinous as all your Crimes have been, Lo! I descend from mine abode, To reason with the sons of men. 2 No clouds of darkness veil my face, No vengeful lightnings flash around I come with terms of life and peace; Where sin hath reign'd let grace abound. 3 Yes, LORD, we will obey thy call, And to thy gracious Sceptre bow; O make our crimson sins like wool, Our scarlet crimes as white as snow. 4 So shall our thankful lips repeat Thy praises with a tuneful voice, While humbly prostrate at thy feet, We wonder, tremble, and rejoice. Scripture: Isaiah 1:18

O sweet revelation divine! Delighted, we’ve heard its contents; All through it our Jesus does shine. A lover of all his dear saints. 2 Through various scenes of distress, Perplexèd with sin, guilt, and fear; This glorious message of grace Has frequently yielded good cheer. Dear Lord, may we prize the rich peace, The peace so abundantly given; It flows through the word of thy grace, And makes us anticipate heaven.

God exalted above all praise

Appears in 227 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Eternal Power, whose high abode Lyrics: 1 Eternal power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God, Infinite length, beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 The lowest step above thy seat, Rises too high for Gabriel's feet. In vain the tall arch-angel tries; To reach the hight with wond'ring eyes. 3 Lord what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our maker too; From sin and dust to thee we cry, The great, the holy, and the high. 4 Earth from afar, has heard thy fame, And worms have learnt to lisp thy name But O, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in heaven, and men below; Be short our tunes our words be few, A sacred rev'rence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.
