Save me, O God the swelling Floods
Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2 Lyrics: 1 "Save me, O God, the swelling Floods
"nreak in upon my Soul;
"I sink; and Sorrows o'er my Head
"like mighty Waters roll.
2 "I cry till all my Voice be gone,
"in Tears I waste the Day;
"My God, behold my longing Eyes,
"and shorten thy Delay.
3 "They hate my soul without a Cause,
"and still their Number grows
"More than the Hairs around my Head,
"and mighty are my Foes.
4 "'Twas then I pay'd that dreadful Debt
"that Men could never pay,
"And gave those Honours to thy Law
"which sinners took away."
5 Thus in the great Messiah's Name
the Royal Prophet mourns;
Thus he awakes our Hearts to Grief,
and gives us Joy by Turns.
6 "Now shall the Saints rejoice, and find
"Salvation in my Name;
"For I have borne their heavy Load
"of Sorrow, Pain, and Shame.
7 "Grief, like a Garment, cloath'd me round,
"and Sackcloth was my Dress,
"While I procur'd for naked Souls
"a Robe of Righteousness.
8 "Amongst my Brethren and the Jews
"I like a Stranger stood,
"And bore their vile Reproach, to bring
"The Gentiles near to God.
9 "I came in sinful Mortals Stead,
"to do my Father's Will;
"Yet when I cleans'd my Father's House,
"they scandaliz'd my Zeal.
10 "My Fasting and my holy Groans
"were made the Drunkard's Song;
"But God from his celestial Throne,
"heard my complaining Tongue.
11 "He sav'd me from the dreadful Deep,
"nor let my soul be drown'd;
"He rais'd and fix'd my sinking Feet
"on well establish'd Ground.
12 "'Twas in a most accepted Hour
"my Pray'r arose on high,
"And for my sake my God shall hear
"The dying Sinner's Cry."
Save me, O God the swelling Floods

Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
holy women, holy men,
with our love and admiration,
greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders,
worthy of the name they bore;
we, with joyful praise and singing,
honour them for evermore.
2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
loving Christ with single heart,
thus they, glorious and victorious
bravely bore the martyr's part
by contempt of every anguish,
by unyielding battle done;
victors at the last, they triumph
with the host of angels one.
3 Therefore, all that reign in glory,
strong and sure with Christ on high,
join to ours your supplication
when before him we draw nigh,
praying that, this life completed,
all its fleeting moments past,
by his grace we may be worthy
of eternal bliss at last. Topics: Martyrs; The Saints Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA Text Sources: Latin (12th cent.)

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:4-10 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call
to live according to your word
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints became
in hindrances more sure:
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you:
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavored, done.
