The heart devoted to God

Appears in 256 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: My God, my King thy various praise Lyrics: 1 My God, my king, thy various praise Shall fill the remnant of my days, Thy grace employ my humble tongue, Till death and glory raise the song. 2 The wings of ev'ry hour shall bear, Some thankful tribute to thine ear; And ev'ry setting sun shall see, New works of duty done for thee. 3 Let distant times and nations raise, The long succession of thy praise: And unborn ages make my song, The joy and labor of their tongue. 4 But who can speak thy wond'rous deeds Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds, Vast and unsearchable thy ways, Vast and immortal be thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 145

The stony Heart

Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: O! for a glance of heav'nly day Lyrics: 1 O! for a glance of heav'nly day, To take this stubborn heart away; And thaw with beams of love divine, This heart, this frozen heart of mine. 2 The rocks can rent; the earth can quake, The seas can roar; the mountains shake; Of feeling all things show some sign, But this unfeeling heart of mine. 3 To hear the sorrows thou hast felt, Dear Lord an adamant would melt: But I can reach each moving line, And nothing moves this heart of mine. 4 Thy judgments too, unmov'd I hear, (Amazing thought!) which devils fear: Goodness and wrath in vain combine, To stir this stupid heart of mine. 5 But something yet can do the deed, And that dear something much I need: O! may thy Spirit now refine, From dross, and melt this heart of mine.
