Come, let us to the Lord our God

Author: John Morison Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: The Christian Unfaithfulness Lamented Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the Lord our God With contrite hearts return; Our God is gracious, nor will leave The desolate to mourn. 2 His voice commands the tempest forth, And stills the stormy wave; His arm, though it be strong to smite, Is also strong to save. 3 Our hearts, if God we seek to know, Shall know him and rejoice; His coming like the morn shall be, Like morning songs his voice. 4 As dew upon the tender herb, Diffusing fragrance round; As showers that usher in the spring, And cheer the thirsty ground; 5 So shall his presence bless our souls, And shed a joyful light; That hallowed morn shall chase away The sorrows of the night.

My God, permit me not to be

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: The Christian Unfaithfulness Lamented Lyrics: 1 My God, permit me not to be A stranger to myself and thee; Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth. And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; One sovereign word can draw me thence: I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign. 4 Be earth, with all her scenes, withdrawn; Let noise and vanity be gone; In secret silence of the mind, My heaven, and there my God, I find.

Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee. 4 Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the hights above, Deeper than the depths beneath, Free and faithful, strong as death. 5 Thou shalt see my glory soon, When the work of grace is done; Partner of my throne shalt be: Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me? 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint That my love's so weak and faint; Yet I love thee, and adore; O for grace to love thee more!
