Devoting All to God

Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall Lyrics: 1. Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall, From bondage set me loose; I would not wish to live at all Unless I live for you. 2. To you, wheree'er I pitch my tent, I would an altar raise, And with a humble frame present The sacrifice of praise. 3. To you devote my health and strength, While health and strength shall last, For future mercies humbly trust, Nor e'er forget the past. 4. Lord, guide me through the wilderness, To Canaan's fertile land; Through Jordan's stream fearlessly pass, If you but give command.

When Wild Confusion Wrecks The Air

Author: Mather Byles Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When wild confusion wrecks the air And tempests rend the skies, Whilst blended ruin, clouds and fire In harsh disorder rise; 2 Safe in my Savior’s love I’ll stand And strike a tuneful song, My harp all trembling in my hand, And all inspired my tongue. 3 I’ll shout aloud, Ye thunders, roll, And shake the sullen sky; Your sounding voices, pole to pole In angry murmurs cry. 4 The earth, she totters on her base, And clouds the heav’n deform; Blow, all ye winds from every place, And rush the final storm. 5 Come quickly, blessèd hope, appear, Bid swift thy chariot fly, Let angels tell thy coming near, And snatch me to the sky. 6 Around thy wheels in gladdest throng I’d bear a joyful part; All hallelujah on my tongue, All rapture in my heart.

Awake, My Drowsy Soul

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals First Line: Awake, my drowsy soul, awake Lyrics: 1 Awake, my drowsy soul, awake And view the threatening scene: The foes in legion camp around, And treachery lurks within. 2 ’Tis not this mortal life alone These enemies assail; All thine eternal hopes are lost, If their attempts prevail. 3 Now to the work of God awake; Behold thy Maker near; The various, arduous task pursue With vigor and with fear. 4 The awful register goes on, Th’account will surely come, And opening day, or closing night May bear me to my doom. 5 Tremendous thought! How deep it strikes! Yet like a dream it flies, Till God’s own voice the slumbers chase From these deluded eyes.

The Spring, Great God, At Thy Command

Author: Thomas Gibbons Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The spring, great God, at Thy command, Leads forth the smiling year; Gay verdure, foliage, blooms and flowers, T’adorn her reign, appear. 2 But soon canst Thou in righteous wrath Blast all the promised joy, The elements await Thy nod To bless, or to destroy. 3 The sun, Thy minister of love, That from the naked ground Calls forth the hidden seeds to birth, And spreads their beauties round; 4 But now, at God’s dread order sends Destructive darts and fires; Hills, plains, and vales are parched with drought, And blooming life expires. 5 Like burnished brass, the heav’n around In angry terror burns; Our earth becomes a joyless waste, And into iron turns. 6 O pity, Lord, in our distress, Nor with our land contend; Bid the avenging skies relent, And showers of mercy send.

Great God, The Terrors Of Thy Wrath

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Great God, the terrors of Thy wrath Lyrics: 1 Great God, the terrors of Thy wrath, What mortal tongue can tell? A fiery stream comes issuing forth, And lights the flames of hell. 2 No mitigation can it know, Nor ever have an end; Its greatness and duration, too, All finite thought transcend. 3 But Thou, oh Lord, hast formed a plan, Replete with wondrous grace. To raise the fallen creature, man, To perfect happiness. 4 Through the atonement of my Lord, All sin may be forgiv’n; ‘Tis He removes the flaming sword, Which barred the way to Heaven. 5 Should all the pow’rs of earth and hell Their force against me join, His cross will all my fears dispel, And fill with peace divine.
