Not To Ourselves

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11760 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Not to ourselves, who are but dust Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves, who are but dust, Not to ourselves is glory due, Eternal God, Thou only just, Thou only gracious, wise and true. 2 Shine forth in all Thy dreadful name; Why should a heathen’s haughty tongue Insult us, and, to raise our shame, Say, Where’s the God you’ve served so long? 3 The God we serve maintains His throne Above the clouds, above the skies; Through all the earth His will is done; He knows our groans, He hears our cries. 4 But the vain idols they adore Are senseless shapes of stone and wood; At best a mass of glittering ore, A silver saint or golden god. 5 With eyes and ears they carve their head; Deaf are their ears, their eyes are blind; In vain are costly offerings made, And vows are scattered in the wind. 6 Their feet were never made to move, Nor hands to save when mortals pray; Mortals that pay them fear or love Seem to be blind and deaf as they. 7 O Israel! make the Lord thy hope, Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest; The Lord shall build thy ruins up, And bless the people and the priest. 8 The dead can no more speak Thy praise, They dwell in silence and the grave; But we shall live to sing Thy grace, And tell the world Thy power to save.

His Own Received Him Not

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12749 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Surely, if such a thing could be Lyrics: 1 Surely, if such a thing could be, The best of sunlight fell on Thee; The softest of the stars of night Shed down on Thee its sweetest light. 2 Surely, if such a thing could be, Noon kept its gentlest rays for Thee; The lightest of the winds of morn Across Thy weary brow was borne. 3 The freshest dew that eve ere shed Fell in its coolness on Thy head; The fairest of the flowers that bloom Reserved for Thee their rich perfume. 4 Yet tho’ this earth which Thou hast made Its best for Thee might hourly spread, And tho’, if such a thing might be, The best of sunlight fell on Thee, 5 Man had no love to give Thee here, No words of peace, no look of cheer; No tenderness his heart could move, He gave Thee hatred for Thy love. 6 Thy best of love to him was giv’n, The freest, truest grace of Heav’n; His worst of hatred fell on Thee, His worst of scorn and enmity. 7 Life, as its gift for him, Thy love Brought in its fullness from above; Death, of all deaths the sharpest, he In his deep hate prepared for Thee. 8 O love and hate! thus face to face Ye meet in this strange meeting place! O sin and grace, O death and life, Who, who shall conquer in this strife? 9 "Father, forgive," is love’s lone cry, While hatred’s crowd shouts, "Crucify!" How deeply man his God doth hate, God’s love to man how true and great! 10 Love bows the head in dying woe, And hatred seems to triumph now; Life into death is fading fast, And death seems conqueror at last. 11 But night is herald of the day, And hate’s dark triumph but makes way For love’s eternal victory, When life shall live, and death shall die.

When Jordan Hushed His Waters Still

Author: Thomas Campbell, 1777-1844 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13079 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When Jordan hushed his wters still Lyrics: 1 When Jordan hushed his waters still, And silence slept on Zion’s hill; When Salem’s shepherds through the night Watched o’er their flocks by starry light; 2 Hark! from the midnight hills around, A voice, of more than mortal sound, In distant hallelujahs stole, Wild murmuring o’er the raptured soul. 3 Then swift to every startled eye, New streams of glory gild the sky; Heaven bursts her azure gates, to pour Her spirits to the midnight hour. 4 On wheels of light, on wings of flame, The glorious hosts to Zion came; High Heaven with songs of triumph rung, While thus they smote their harps and sung: 5 O Zion! lift thy raptured eye, The long expected hour is nigh; The joy of nature rise again, The Prince of Salem comes to reign! 6 See Mercy, from her golden urn, Pours a rich stream to those that mourn; Behold, she binds with tender care, The bleeding bosom of despair. 7 He comes to cheer the trembling heart, Bids Satan and his host depart; Again the day-star gilds the gloom, Again the bowers of Eden bloom!

Come, Humble Saints, And Place Your Trust

His Flock The Heav'nly Shepherd Feeds

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16039 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: His flock the heav’nly Shepherd feeds Lyrics: 1 His flock the heav’nly Shepherd feeds, By purling streams in flowery meads; He guards them both by night and day, And guides them lest they go astray. 2 Or if by Satan’s wiles misled, They in forbidden paths should tread, He timely warns them of their sin, And turns their wandering feet again. 3 In danger He is always nigh, No evil can escape His eye; He calls His sheep, He knows their names, And gently leads the tender lambs. 4 Beneath the shadow of a rock, From scorching suns He screens His flock; And should the prowling wolf appear, They still are safe, for Christ is there.

By Roads That Wound Uphill And Down

Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16109 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: By roads that wound uphill and down Lyrics: 1 By roads that wound uphill and down, Beside the lake in Galilee, From house to house, from town to town, Our Lord fulfilled His ministry. 2 He healed the sick, He cured the blind, He sought for those who went astray; He told the lost that God is kind And set them on the homeward way. 3 How blest the homes that knew Him then; And holy yet the paths He trod! O gracious heart that loved all men! O patient feet that walked with God! 4 Lord Christ, forevermore the same In Heaven as in Galilee, Embolden us to name Thy name, To make our lives a ministry.
