When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 1,002 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From Whom those comforts flowed. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the last a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue, And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 6 Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I’ll raise; But oh! eternity’s too short To utter all Thy praise. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT

O Son of God, in co-eternal might

Author: Wilhelm Loehe, d. 1872; Harriet Reynolds Spaeth Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, in co-eternal might, O Son of Man, clothed in the living light Of Godhead manifest, in power and glory; Lord Jesus Christ, Thou sole Desire That doth Thy longing worshippers inspire, For Thee alone, my spirit yearns in me: No bliss I find until I am with Thee. 2 The field is golden, flowers the meadow strew, The mountains rise sublime, the skies are blue; In these the child of earth may well find pleasure; I too, rejoice in all of them, But, not content, I want Jerusalem. Where Thou art throned, thither sets my sail; Home is not home, except within the veil. 3 Angelic legions, in Thy brightness bight Gaze on Thy face; my fathers share the sight; The God-man's matchless glory is unshrouded, And from that vision, to the soul Unmeasured waves of joy supernal roll, That rise in full and ever fuller tone, Like ocean surges, to the Lamb's white throne. 4 Then let me go,--what further hinders me?-- To mine own folk, the Son of Man to see. No glance will I, of that majestic beauty My eager soul would take her fill. Joy even now, and trembling, through me thrill. I must away! Thou hast prepared my place; My spirit panteth, Lord, to see Thy face. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Used With Tune: O GOTTESSOHN

Fierce was the wild billow

Author: John Mason Neale; Anatolius Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the wild billow, Dark was the night, Oars labored heavily, Foam glimmered white; Trembled the mariners, Peril was nigh: Then said the God of God, "Peace! it is I." 2 Ridge of the mountain-wave, Lower thy crest! Wail of the tempest wind, Be thou at rest! Sorrow can never be, Darkness must fly, Where saith the Light of Light, "Peace! it is I." 3 Jesus, Deliverer, Come Thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea: Thou, when the storm of death Roars, sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of Truth, "Peace! it is I." Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany; Fourth Sunday after Epiphany Used With Tune: ADJUTOR

In Thy wounds I find relief From my greatest sin and grief. 4 Let my life and conversation Be directed by Thy Word; Lord, Thy constant preservation To thy erring child afford. No where but alone in Thee From all harm can I be free. 5 Wholly to Thy blest protection I commit my heart and mind; Mighty God! to Thy direction Wholly may I be resigned.

The royal standard forward goes

Author: Fortunatus, d. 569; John Caspar Mattes Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The royal standard forward goes, The holy Cross with mystery glows, Where death by life was put to shame, And life from death triumphant came. 2 Here from my Saviour's piercèd side Flows forth the purifying tide, That lets no sinful spot remain, As blood and water cleanse each stain. 3 Fulfilled is now the hope foretold, That faithful prophets sang of old; When God His wondering people see, Ruling all nations from the Tree. 4 Hail! only source of hope and life; In this sad time of pain and strife, To faithful souls Thy grace increase, And to the guilty give Thy peace. 5 And now, O Blessèd Trinity, Let endless praises be to Thee, Who through the triumph of Thy love, Hast gained for us a crown above. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: VEXILLA REGIS

God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 5 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. 6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto Thee we raise; Jesus, glory unto Thee, With the Spirit, ever be.

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel John Stone Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look to heaven, and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home, And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 3 ’Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father’s child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. 4 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in Thy Father’s courts my glorious dress May be the garment of Thy righteousness. 5 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord: Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown, Mine the life won, through Thine, the life laid down. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: REGNATOR ORBIS
