God Of My Life, Whose Gracious Power

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power Through varied deaths my soul hath led, Or turned aside the fatal hour, Or lifted up my sinking head! 2 In all my ways Thy hand I own, Thy ruling providence I see: Assist me still my course to run, And still direct my paths to Thee. 3 On Thee my helpless soul is cast, And looks again Thy grace to prove; I call to mind the wonders past, The countless wonders of Thy love. 4 Thou, Lord, my spirit oft has stayed, Hast snatched me from the gaping tomb, A monument of Thy mercy made, And rescued me from wrath to come. 5 Oft hath the sea confessed Thy power, And gave me back to Thy command; It could not, Lord, my life devour, Safe in the hollow of Thine hand. 6 Oft from the margin of the grave Thou, Lord, hast lifted up my head; Sudden I found Thee near to save; The fever owned Thy touch, and fled. 7 But O! The mightier work of grace, That still the life of faith I live, That still I pant to sing Thy praise, That still my all I gasp to give. 8 Plucked from the roaring lion’s teeth, Caught up from the eternal fire, Snatched from the gates of hell I breathe, And lo! to Heaven I still aspire! 9 Whither, oh whither should I fly, But to my loving Savior’s breast; Secure within Thine arms to lie, And safe beneath Thy wings to rest! 10 I feel the fiery trial near, But Thou, my God, art still the same; Hell, earth, and sin I scorn to fear, Divinely armed with Jesu’s name. 11 I have no skill the snare to shun, But Thou, O Christ, my wisdom art; I ever into ruin run: But Thou art greater than my heart. 12 I have no might t’oppose the foe, But everlasting strength is Thine. Show me the way that I should go; Show me the path I should decline. 13 Which shall I leave, and which pursue? Thou only mine advisor be; My God, I know not what to do; But Oh! mine eyes are fixed on Thee. 14 Foolish, and impotent, and blind, Lead me a way I have not known; Bring me where I my heaven may find, The heaven of loving Thee alone. 15 Enlarge my heart to make Thee room; Enter, and in me ever stay; The crooked then shalt straight become: The darkness shall be lost in day!

O Savior! Is Thy Promise Fled?

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Savior! Is Thy promise fled? Nor longer may Thy grace endure, To heal the sick, and raise the dead, And preach Thy Gospel to the poor? 2 Come, Jesus! Come, return again: With brighter beams Thy servants bless, Who long to hail Thy perfect reign, And share Thy kingdom’s happiness. 3 A feeble race, by passion driven, In darkness and in doubt we roam, And lift our anxious eyes to Heaven, Our hope, our harbor, and our home. 4 Come, Jesus! come; and as of yore, Thy prophet went to clear the way, A harbinger Thy feet before, A dawning to Thy brighter day. 5 So, ere again we see Thy face, Our stony hearts for truth prepare; Sow in our souls the seed of grace, Then come and reap Thy harvest there.

Behold, the Master passeth by!

Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by! Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye? With low sad voice He calleth thee, "Leave this vain world, and follow Me." 2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care, Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare? From earthly toils lift up thine eye; Behold, the Master passeth by! 3 One heard Him calling long ago, And straightway left all things below, Counting his earthly gain as loss For Jesus and His blessèd cross. 4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear Seemed every day afresh to hear; Its echoes stirred his spirit still, And fired his hope, and nerved his will. 5 God gently calls us every day: Why should we then our bliss delay? He calls to heaven and endless light: Why should we love the dreary night? 6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call, At which he rose and left his all: Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me; I will leave all, and follow Thee. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Matthew; Christ's Call; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: ANGELUS

Nature with Open Volume Stands

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Nature with open volume stands, To spread her maker’s praise abroad; And every labor of His hands Shows something worthy of a God. 2. But in the grace that rescued man His brightest form of glory shines; Here, on the cross, ’tis fairest drawn, In precious blood and crimson lines. 3. Here His whole name appears complete; Nor wit can guess, nor reason prove, Which of the letters best is writ, The power, the wisdom, or the love. 4. Here I behold His inmost heart, Where grace and vengeance strangely join, Piercing His Son with sharpest smart, To make the purchased pleasure mine. 5. O! the sweet wonders of that cross, Where God the Savior loved and died Her noblest life my spirit draws From His dear wounds and bleeding side. 6. I would forever speak His name, In sounds to mortal ears unknown; With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at His Father’s throne.

Author: Henry Twells; S. John Barathi Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 ஆம் சூர்யன் சாயும் நேரமே, நோவுற்றோர் உம்மை சூழ்ந்தனர், உபாதை வேதனை கொண்டோராய், வந்தனர் மகிழ்ந்தே சென்றனர். 2 இந்நாளும் மாலையானதே, துன்பற்றோர் இன்றும் வந்திட்டால், உம்மை யாம் காண கூடுமோ? நீர் சமீபம் என்றறிவோம். 3 எம் வேதனை நீர் தீர்ப்பிரே, துக்கத்தால் சோர்ந்து நோயினால், உம்மையே நேசிக்காதோறும், அன்பானோர் தம்மை இழந்தோறும். 4 பூலோக பாரம் தாங்காமல், பாவத்தின் சோர்வும் நீங்காமல், துக்கத்தில் மூழ்கி மீளாமல், நீரின்றி யார்? மீட்ப்பார் எம்மை. 5 இப்பூவின் மாயை அறிந்தோர், ஆனாலும் மீளாதோருண்டு, நண்பரால் வேதனை கொண்டோரும், உம் நட்பை அறிந்திடாதோரும். 6 யாம் யாரும் நல்லோய்வு கொள்ளோமே, பாவமற்றோர் எம்மில் இல்லை, சாந்தமுள்ளோர் சேவை செய்வார், தன் தன் பாவம் நன்றறிவார். 7 ஆம் நீரும் மானுடனல்லவே? சோதனை வேதனை அறிவீரே, உந்தன் காருண்யம் காணுமே, மறைவாம் காயம் தெளிவாய். 8 உம் கைகள் தொட்டிட வல்லமை, உம் வார்த்தை ஒன்றும் வீணாகா, இம் மாலை எம் ஜெபம் கேளுமே, உம் கிருபையால், நீர் குணமாக்கும்.
