Author: Sarah F. Adams (1805-1848) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Appears in 2,554 hymnals Topics: Christian Evidences Aspiration, Idealism Scripture: Isaiah 55:6 Used With Tune: BETHANY
Nearer, My God, to Thee
The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, Lord
Appears in 599 hymnals Topics: Evidence of Sincerity Lyrics: 1 The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, Lord,
In ev'ry Star thy Wisdom shines;
But when our Eyes behold thy Word,
We read thy Name in fairer Lines.
2 The rolling Sun, the changing Light,
And Nights and Days thy Pow'r confess;
But the blest Volume thou hast writ
Reveals thy Justice and thy Grace.
3 Sun, Moon and Stars, convey thy Praise
Round the whole Earth, and never stand:
So when thy Truth begun its Race,
It touch'd, and glanc'd on ev'ry Land.
4 Nor shall thy spreading Gospel rest
Till thro' the World thy Truth has run;
Till Christ has all the Nations blest
That see the Light, or feel the Sun.
5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Bless the dark World with heav'nly Light;
Thy Gospel makes the Simple wise;
Thy Laws are pure, thy Judgments right.
6 Thy noblest Wonders here we view
In Souls renew'd, and Sins forgiv'n:
Lord, cleanse my Sins, my Soul renew,
And make thy Word my Guide to Heav'n. Scripture: Psalm 19
The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, Lord
Great God, the Heav'n's well order'd Frame
Appears in 79 hymnals Topics: Evidence of Sincerity Lyrics: 1 Great God, the Heav'n's well order'd Frame
Declares the Glories of thy Name:
There thy rich Works of Wonder shine,
A thousand starry Beauties there,
A thousand radiant Marks appear
Of boundless Pow'r, and Skill divine.
2 From Might to Day, from Day to Night,
The dawning and the dying Light
Lectures of heav'nly Wisdom read;
With silent Eloquence they raise
Our Thoughts to our Creator's Praise,
And neither Sound nor Language need.
3 Yet their divine Instructions run
Far as the Journeys of the Sun,
And every Nation knows their Voice:
The Sun, like some young Bridegroom drest,
Breaks from the Chambers of the East,
Rolls round, and makes the Earth rejoice.
4 Where'er he spreads his Beams abroad,
He smiles, and speaks his Maker GOD:
All Nature joins to shew thy Praise:
Thus GOD in every Creature shines;
Fair is the Book of Nature's Lines,
But fairer is the Book of Grace.
Pause
5 I love the Volumes of thy Word;
What Light and Joy those Leaves afford
To Souls benighted and distrest!
Thy Precepts guide my doubtful Way,
Thy Fear forbears my Feet to stray,
Thy Promise leads my Heart to Rest.
6 From the Discov'ries of thy Law
The perfect Rules of Life I draw;
These are my Study and Delight;
Not Honey so invites the Taste,
Nor Gold that hath the Furnace past
Appears so pleasing to the Sight.
7 Thy Threat'nings wake my slumb'ring Eyes,
And warn me where my Danger lies;
But 'tis thy blessed Gospel, Lord,
That makes my guilty Conscience clean,
Converts my Soul, subdues my Sin,
And gives a free, but large Reward.
8 Who knows the Errors of his Thoughts?
My GOD, forgive my secret Faults,
And from presumptuous Sins restrain;
Accept my poor Attempts of Praise,
That I have read thy Book of Grace,
And Book of Nature not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 19
Great God, the Heav'n's well order'd Frame

O Thou in Whose Presence
Psalm 18 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Evidences of sincerity First Line: Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength Lyrics:
Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength,
My rock, my tower, my high defence:
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.
Death, and the terrors of the grave,
Stood round me with their dismal shade;
While floods of high temptations rose,
And made my sinking soul afraid.
I saw the op'ning gates of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there,
Which none but they that feel can tell;
While I was hurried to despair.
In my distress I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bowed his ear to my complaint,
Then did his grace appear divine.
With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a cherub's wing he rode;
Awful and bright as lightning shone
The face of my deliverer, God.
Temptations fled at his rebuke,
The blast of his almighty breath;
He sent salvation from on high,
And drew me from the deeps of death.
Great were my fears, my foes were great,
Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still,
In all the wars that devils wage.
My song for ever shall record
That terrible, that joyful hour;
And give the glory to the Lord,
Due to his mercy and his power

Psalm 18 Part 1
Psalm 18 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Evidences of sincerity First Line: We love thee, Lord, and we adore Lyrics:
We love thee, Lord, and we adore;
Now is thine arm revealed:
Thou art our strength, our heav'nly tower,
Our bulwark, and our shield.
We fly to our eternal Rock,
And find a sure defence;
His holy name our lips invoke,
And draw salvation thence.
When God, our Leader, shines in arms,
What mortal heart can bear
The thunder of his loud alarms,
The lightning of his spear?
He rides upon the winged wind,
And angels in array
In millions wait to know his mind,
And swift as flames obey.
He speaks, and at his fierce rebuke
Whole armies are dismayed;
His voice, his frown, his angry look,
Strikes all their courage dead.
He forms our generals for the field,
With all their dreadful skill;
Gives them his awful sword to wield,
And makes their hearts of steel.
[He arms our captains to the fight,
(Though there his name's forgot;
He girded Cyrus with his might,
But Cyrus knew him not.)
Oft has the Lord whole nations blessed
For his own church's sake;
The powers that give his people rest,
Shall of his care partake.]
Scripture: Psalm 18
Psalm 18 Part 1
God's Word most excellent; Or, Sincerity and Watchfulness
Appears in 318 hymnals Topics: Evidence of Sincerity; Evidence of Sincerity First Line: Behold the morning sun Lyrics: 1 Behold the morning sun
Begins his glorious way:
His beams through all the nations run,
And life and light convey.
2 But where the gospel comes
It spreads diviner light,
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgements just,
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And men securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
Oh may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven!
Pause.
5 I heard thy word with love,
And I would fain obey:
Send thy good spirit from above
To guide me lest I stray.
6 Oh who can ever find
The errors of his ways?
Yet with a bold presumptuous mind
I would not dare transgress.
7 Warn me of every sin,
Forgive my secret faults,
And cleanse this guilty soul of mine,
Whose crimes exceed my thoughts.
8 While with my heart and tongue
I spread thy praise abroad;
Accept the worship and the song,
My Saviour and my God. Scripture: Psalm 19
God's Word most excellent; Or, Sincerity and Watchfulness
