Holy Walk

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LII (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: So let our lips and lives express Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express, The holy gospel we profess; So let our walks and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine. 2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad, The honours of our Saviour God: When the salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin. 3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd; Passion and envy, lust and pride; Whilst justice, temp'rance, truth, and love Our inward piety approve. 4 Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope, The bright appearance of the LORD, And faith stands leaning on his word.

The Lord is God

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XLVII (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Does it not grief and wonder move Lyrics: 1 Does it not grief and wonder move To think of Israel's dreadful fall, Who needed miracles to prove Whether the Lord was God or Baal. 2 Methinks I see Elijah stand, His features glow with love and zeal In faith and prayer he lifts his hand, And makes to heav'n his great appeal. 3 O GOD! if I thy servant am, If 'tis thy message fills my heart; Now glorify thy holy name: And shew this people who thou art. 4 He spoke, and lo! a sudden flame, Consum'd the wood, the dust, the stone The people struck, at once proclaim, "The Lord is God, the Lord alone." 5 Like him we mourn an awful day, When more for Baal than God appear, Like him, believers, let us pray, And may the God of Israel hear. 6 LORD! if thy servant speaks the truth, If he indeed is sent by thee; Confirm the word to all our youth, And let them thy salvation see. 7 Now may the Spirit's holy fire, Pierce ev'ry heart that hears thy word Consume each hurtful vain desire, And make them know thou art the Lord.
