O Bless the Lord, My Soul!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 253 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O bless the Lord, my soul! Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless His Name, Whose favors are divine. 2 O bless the Lord, my soul! Nor let His mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis He forgives thy sins; 'Tis He relieves thy pain; 'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee strength again. 4 He crowns thy life with love, When ransomed from the grave. He that redeemed my soul from death Hath sovereign power to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest; The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for the opprest. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known, But sent the world His truth and grace By His belovèd Son.

Speed Thy Servants, Saviour, Speed Them

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Speed Thy servants, Saviour, speed them, Ruler of the winds and waves, They were bound, but Thou hast freed them; Now they go to free the slaves. Be Thou with them, be Thou with them, 'Tis Thine arm alone that saves. 2 Friends, and home, and all forsaking, Lord, they go at Thy command, As their stay Thy promise taking, While they traverse sea and land: O be with them, O be with them, Lead them safely by the hand. 3 When no fruit appears to cheer them, And they seem to toil in vain, Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain. Thus supported, Thus supported, Let their zeal revive again. 4 In the midst of opposition Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee; When success attends their mission, Let Thy servants humbler be; Never leave them, Never leave them, Till Thy face in heaven they see: Amen.

Clark Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy! hearken now; Before thy throne we humbly bow; With heart and voice to Thee we cry For all on earth who suff'ring lie. 2 We seek Thee where Thou dwell'st on high, Beyond the glitt'ring, starry sky: We find Thee where Thou dwell'st below Beside the beds of want and woe. 3 Be ours the hearts and hands to bless The sorrowing sons of wretchedness; Send Thou the help we cannot give; Bid dying souls arise and live. 4 O let the healing waters spring, Touched by Thy pitying angel's wing; With quickening power new strength impart To palsied will, to withered heart. 5 Where poverty in pain must lie, Where little suffering children cry, Bid us haste forth as called by Thee, And in Thy poor Thyself to see. 6 Be Thou, O God eternal, blest, Thy holy Name on earth confest! Echo Thy praise from every shore For ever and for evermore. Amen Topics: Missions Inner-Charities; Inner Missions; Prayer for the Sick Used With Tune: QUEBEC (HESPERUS)

O Jesus, Thou Art Standing

O sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low, "I died for you, My children, And will ye treat Me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door: Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore. Amen.
