Shall Atheists Dare Insult the Cross?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals First Line: Shall atheists dare insult the cross Lyrics: 1. Shall atheists dare insult the cross Of our Redeemer, God? Shall infidels reproach His laws, Or trample on His blood? 2. What if He choose mysterious ways To cleanse us from our faults? May not the works of sovereign grace Transcend our feeble thoughts? 3. What if His Gospel bids us fight With flesh, and self, and sin, The prize is most divinely bright That we are called to win. 4. What if the foolish and the poor His glorious grace partake, This but confirms His truth the more, For so the prophets spake. 5. Do some that own His sacred name Indulge their souls in sin? Jesus should never bear the blame, His laws are pure and clean. 6. Then let our faith grow firm and strong, Our lips profess His Word; Nor blush nor fear to walk among The men that love the Lord.

O Lord, thou hast me searched and known

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou hast me searched and known. 2 Thou knowest my sitting down, and rising up; yea, all my thoughts afar to thee are known. 3 My footsteps, and my lying down, thou compassest always; thou also most entirely art acquaint with all my ways. 4 For in my tongue, before I speak, not any word can be, but altogether, lo, O Lord, it is well known to thee. 5 Behind, before, thou hast beset, and laid on me thine hand. 6 Such knowledge is too strange for me, too high to understand. 7 Where from thy Spirit shall I go? or from thy presence fly? 8 Ascend I heaven, lo, thou art there; there, if in hell I lie. 9 Take I the wings of morn, and dwell in utmost parts of sea; 10 even there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead, thy right hand hold shall me. 11 If I do say that darkness shall me cover from thy sight, then surely shall the very night about me be as light. 12 Yea, darkness hideth not from thee, but night doth shine as day: to thee the darkness and the light are both alike alway. 13 Because thou hast possessed my reins, and thou didst cover me, when I within my mother’s womb inclosed was by thee. 14 Thee will I praise, for fearfully and strangely made I am; thy works are wonderful, and well my soul doth know the same. 15 When I was made in secret place, my substance thou didst see; when in the lowest parts of earth I was wrought curiously. 16 While yet unformed my substance was, thine eyes on it did look; my days, while yet not one had dawned, were written in thy book. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts, O gracious God, to me! and in their sum how passing great and numberless they be! 18 If I should count them, than the sand they more in number be: what time soever I awake, I ever am with thee. 19 Thou, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay: hence from me bloody men. 20 Thy foes against thee loudly speak, and take thy name in vain. 21 Do not I hate all those, O Lord, that hatred bear to thee? With those that up against thee rise can I but grieved be? 22 With perfect hatred them I hate, my foes I them do hold. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, my thoughts unfold: 24 and see if any wicked way there be at all in me; and in thine everlasting way to me a leader be.

Let wilful sinners boast and say

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let wilful sinners boast and say, The Lord will never come: We need not fear a future day, Or wait a fearful doom. 2 The things wherof we have been told That they should come to pass; Are now just as they were of old, And will forever last. 3 For, since the fathers fell asleep, The world has took no change; Should God our crimes in mem'ry keep, That would be very strange. 4 Just so it was, before the flood, Tho' men had long been warn'd; They still despis'd the threats of God! And lived unconcern'd. 5 When long they had despis'd his grace; At last they found it true; When suddenly a change took place, Which prov'd their overthrow. 6 The righteous judgments of the Lord, At his appointed times; Proves daring sinners' just reward For all their guilt and crimes.
