We sing the glories of thy love

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Duty to God and man Lyrics: We sing the glories of thy love, We sound thy dreadful name; The Christian church unites the songs Of Moses and the Lamb. Great God! how wondrous are thy works Of vengeance and of grace! Thou King of saints, Almighty Lord, How just and true thy ways! Who dares refuse to fear thy name, Or worship at thy throne? Thy judgments speak thine holiness Through all the nations known. Great Babylon that rules the earth, Drunk with the martyrs' blood, Her crimes shall speedily awake The fury of our God. The cup of wrath is ready mixed, And she must drink the dregs: Strong is the Lord, her sovereign Judge, And shall fulfil the plagues. Scripture: Revelation 15:3

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 549 hymnals Topics: Man frailty of Lyrics: 1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise, And stay not for the morrow's sun; The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won. 2 Oh, hasten, mercy to implore, And stay not for the morrow's sun, For fear thy season should be o'er Before this evening's course be run. 3 Hasten, O sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow's sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn Before the needful work is done. 4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow's sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest Before the morrow is begun.

Charity to the Poor; or, Religionin Words and Deeds

Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Wickedness of Man First Line: Why do the wealthy Wicked boast Lyrics: 1 Why do the wealthy Wicked boast, And grow profanely bold? The meanest Portion of the Just Excels the Sinner's Gold. 2 The Wicked borrows of his Friends, But ne'er designs to pay; The Saint is merciful and lends, Nor turns the Poor away. 3 His Alms with lib'ral Heart he gives Amongst the Sons of Need; His Mem'ry to long Ages lives, And blessed is his Seed. 4 His Lips abhor to talk prophane, To slander or defraud; His ready Tongue declares to Men What he has learn'd of GOD. 5 The Law and Gospel of the Lord Deep in his Heart abide; Led by the Spirit, and the Word, His Feet shall never slide. 6 When Sinners fall, the Righteous stand, Preserv'd from ev'ry Snare; They shall possess the promis'd Land, And dwell for ever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16-31

How beauteous are their Feet

Appears in 714 hymnals Topics: Christ revealed to Man Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their Feet, Who stand on Sion's Hill, Who bring Salvation on their Tongues, And Words of Peace reveal! 2 How charming is their Voice! How sweet the Tidings are! "Sion behold thy Saviour King, "He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our Ears, That hear this joyful Sound, Which Kings and Prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our Eyes, That see this Heav'nly Light; Prophets and Kings desir'd it long, But dy'd without the Sight! 5 The Watchmen join their Voice, And tuneful Notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth with Songs, And Desarts learn the Joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his Arm Through all the Earth abroad; Let ev'ry Nation now behold Their Saviour and their God. Scripture: Isaiah 5:2

When the first Parents of our Race

Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Fall and Recovery of Man Lyrics: 1 When the first Parents of our Race Rebell'd, and lost their God, And the Infection of their Sin, Had tainted all our Blood; 2 Infinite Pity touch'd the Heart Of the Eternal SON, Descending from the heav'nly Court, He left his Father's Throne. 3 Aside the Prince of Glory threw His most divine Array, And wrapt his Godhead in a Veil Of our inferior Clay. 5 His living Pow'r and dying Love, Redeem'd unhappy Men, And rais'd the Ruins of our Race To Life and God again. 6 To Thee, dear Lord, our Flesh and Soul We joyfully resign, Blest Jesus, take us for thy own, For we are doubly thine. 7 Thine Honour shall for ever be The Bus'ness of our Days; For ever shall our thankful Tongues Speak thy deserved Praise.
