How oft have sin and Satan strove
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: Praise and prayer public; Prayer and praise, public; Public prayer and praise Lyrics:
How oft have sin and Satan strove
To rend my soul from thee, my God!
But everlasting is thy love,
And Jesus seals it with his blood.
The oath and promise of the Lord
Join to confirm the wondrous grace;
Eternal power performs the word,
And fills all heav'n with endless praise.
Amidst temptations sharp and long,
My soul to this dear refuge flies;
Hope is my anchor, firm and strong,
While tempests blow and billows rise.
The gospel bears my spirit up;
A faithful and unchanging God
Lays the foundation for my hope
In oaths, and promises, and blood.
Scripture: Hebrews 6:17-19
How oft have sin and Satan strove
Mistaken souls! that dream of heaven
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Praise and prayer public; Prayer and praise, public; Public prayer and praise Lyrics:
Mistaken souls, that dream of heav'n,
And make their empty boast
Of inward joys, and sins forgiv'n,
While they are slaves to lust!
Vain are our fancies, airy flights,
If faith be cold and dead;
None but a living power unites
To Christ the living head.
'Tis faith that changes all the heart;
'Tis faith tbat works by love;
That bids all sinful joys depart,
And lifts the thoughts above.
'Tis faith that conquers earth and hell
By a celestial power;
This is the grace that shall prevail
In the decisive hour.
[Faith must obey her Father's will,
As well as trust his grace;
A pard'ning God is jealous still
For his own holiness.]
When from the curse he sets us free,
He makes our natures clean;
Nor would he send his Son to be
The minister of sin.
[His Spirit purifies our frame,
And seals our peace with God;
Jesus and his salvation came
By water and by blood.]
Scripture: Psalm 65

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Praise Part of Public Worship First Line: Before Thee, Lord, a people waits Lyrics: 1 Before Thee, Lord, a people waits
To praise Thy Name in Zion's gates,
To Thee shall vows be paid;
Thou hearer of the suppliant's prayer,
To Thee in need shall all repair
To seek Thy gracious aid.
2 How great my trespasses appear,
But Thou from guilt my soul wilt clear,
And my transgressions hide.
How blest Thy chosen, who by grace
Are bro't within Thy dwelling-place
That they may there abide.
3 The goodness of Thy house, O Lord,
The joys Thy holy courts afford,
Our souls shall satisfy;
By deeds of might, in justice wrought,
The Lord will grant us what we sought,
Our Saviour, God Most High.
4 On Thy sustaining arm depend,
To earth's and sea's remotest end,
All men in ev'ry age;
Thy strength establishes the hills,
Thy word the roaring billows stills,
And calms the people's rage.
5 The tribes of earth's remotest lands
Behold the tokens of Thy hands
And bow in godly fear;
The east, where beams the morning light,
The west, in evening glories bright,
Rejoice, for Thou art near. Scripture: Psalm 65 Used With Tune: MALONE

Forms vain without religion
Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Worship Public Worship; Public Religion First Line: Almighty Maker, God! Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God!
How wond'rous is thy name!
Thy glories how diffus'd abroad
Thro' the creation's frame.
2 Nature in every dress
Her humble homage pays,
And finds a thousand ways t' express
Thine undissembled praise.
3 My soul would rise and sing
To her creator too,
Fain would my tongue adore my king,
And pay the worship due.
4 [But pride, that busy sin,
Spoils all that I perform,
Curs'd pride, that creeps securely in,
And swells a haughty worm.]
5 Create my soul anew,
Else all my worship's vain;
This wretched heart will ne'er be true,
Until tis form'd again.
6 Let joy and worship spend
The remnant of my days,
And to my God my soul, ascend
In sweet perfumes of praise. Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Lyric Poems

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Hymns, adapted to Particular Parts of Public Worship First Line: Come worship at Immanuel's feet Lyrics: 1 Come worship at Immanuel's feet,
See in his face what wonders meet!
Words are too feeble to express
His worth, his glory, or his grace.
2 When shall we climb those higher skies,
Where storms and tempests never rise;
Where he unveils his lovely face,
And shines and reigns the God of grace?
3 Nor earth, nor air nor sun, nor stars,
Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears;
His beauties we can never trace
Till we behold him, face to face. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:11 Text Sources: Whitfield's Collection
