Teach me yet more of thy blest ways

Teach me yet more of thy blest ways
O mean may seem this house of clay
Author: Thomas Hornblower Gill Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O mean may seem this house of clay,
Yet ’twas the Lord’s abode;
Our feet may mourn this thorny way,
Yet here Emmanuel trod.
2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear;
This watch the Lord did keep;
These burdens sore the Lord did bear;
These tears the Lord did weep.
3 This world the Master overcame;
This death the Lord did die;
O vanquished world! O glorious shame!
O hallowed agony!
4 O vale of tears, no longer sad,
Wherein the Lord did dwell!
O holy robe of flesh that clad
Our own Emmanuel!
5 Our very frailty brings us near
Unto the Lord of heaven;
To every grief, to every tear,
Such glory strange is given.
Amen.

O mean may seem this house of clay
O Lord, thy judgments give the king
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thy judgments give the king,
his son thy righteousness.
2 With right he shall thy people judge,
thy poor with uprightness.
3 The lofty mountains shall bring forth
unto the people peace;
likewise the little hills the same
shall do by righteousness.
4 The people’s poor ones he shall judge,
the needy’s children save;
and those shall he in pieces break
who them oppressed have.
5 They shall thee fear, while sun and moon
do last, through ages all.
6 Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,
or showers on earth that fall.
7 The just shall flourish in his days,
and prosper in his reign:
he shall, while doth the moon endure,
abundant peace maintain.
8 His large and great dominion shall
from sea to sea extend:
it from the river shall reach forth
unto earth’s utmost end.
9 They in the wilderness that dwell
bow down before him must;
and they that are his enemies
shall lick the very dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish, and the isles,
to him shall presents bring;
and unto him shall offer gifts
Sheba’s and Seba’s king.
11 Yea, all the mighty kings on earth
before him down shall fall;
and all the nations of the world
do service to him shall.
12 For he the needy shall preserve,
when he to him doth call;
also the poor, and him that hath
no help of man at all.
13 The poor man and the indigent
in mercy he shall spare;
he shall preserve alive the souls
of those that needy are.
14 Both from deceit and violence
their soul he shall set free;
and in his sight right precious
and dear their blood shall be.
15 Yea, he shall live, and given to him
shall be of Sheba’s gold:
For him still shall they pray, and he
all day shall be extolled.
16 Of corn an handful in the earth
on tops of mountains high,
with prosperous fruit shall shake, like trees
on Lebanon that be.
The city shall be flourishing,
her citizens abound
in number shall, like to the grass
that grows upon the ground.
17 His name for ever shall endure;
last like the sun it shall:
men shall be blessed in him, and blessed
all nations shall him call.
18 Now blessed be the Lord our God,
the God of Israel,
For he alone doth wondrous works,
in glory that excel.
19 And blessed be his glorious name
to all eternity:
the whole earth let his glory fill.
Amen, so let it be. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: TALLIS'S ORDINAL

Trust in God, Our Maker
Author: George Wallace Briggs Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O God, by whom all things were made Lyrics: 1 O God, by whom all things were made,
Whose hand is over all,
Beyond Thy care can no man stray,
Nor can a sparrow fall.
2 Thou madest all the stars in heaven,
The earth, the deep blue sea:
Thou madest man to know thy love;
And so Thou madest me.
3 Thy wisdom is too wonderful
For me to understand:
But this I know, in this I trust,
That I am in Thy hand.

Trust in God, Our Maker
Think Gently of the Erring One
Author: Miss Fletcher Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 138 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Think gently of the erring one;
And let us not forget,
However darkly stained by sin,
He is our brother yet.
2 Heir of the same inheritance,
Child of the selfsame God,
He hath but stumbled in the path
We have in weakness trod.
3 Forget not, thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet may’st be;
Deal gently with the erring heart,
As God has dealt with thee.
Amen. Scripture: John 8:1-11 Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL
Think Gently of the Erring One
Behold! The Ambassador Divine
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Behold! the Ambassador divine,
Descending from above,
To publish to mankind the law
Of everlasting love.
2 On Him, in rich effusion poured,
The heav’nly dew descends;
And truth divine He shall reveal
To earth’s remotest ends.
3 No trumpet sound, at His approach,
Shall strike the wondering ears;
But still and gentle breathe the voice
In which the God appears.
4 By His kind hand the shaken reed
Shall raise its falling frame;
The dying embers shall revive,
And kindle to a flame.
5 The onward progress of His zeal
Shall never know decline,
Till foreign lands and distant isles
Receive the law divine.
6 He who spread forth the arch of heav’n,
And bade the planets roll,
Who laid the basis of the earth,
And formed the human soul—
7 Thus saith the Lord, “Thee have I sent,
A prophet from the sky,
Wide o’er the nations to proclaim
The message from on high.
8 “Before Thy face the shades of death
Shall take to sudden flight;
The people who in darkness dwell
Shall hail a glorious light;
9 “The gates of brass shall ’sunder burst,
The iron fetters fall;
The promised jubilee of Heav’n
Appointed rise o’er all.
10 “And lo! presaging Thy approach,
The heathen temple shake,
And trembling in forsaken fanes,
The fabled idols quake.
11 I am Jehovah: I am One:
My name shall now be known;
No idol shall usurp My praise,
Nor mount into My throne.
12 Lo, former scenes, predicted once,
Conspicuous rise to view;
And future scenes, predicted now,
Shall be accomplished, too.
13 Now sing a new song to the Lord!
Let earth His praise resound;
Ye who upon the ocean dwell,
And fill the isles around.
14 O city of the Lord! begin
The universal song;
And let the scattered villages
The joyful notes prolong.
15 Let Kedar’s wilderness afar
Lift up the lonely voice;
And let the tenants of the rock
With accent rude rejoice.
16 O from the streams of distant lands
Unto Jehovah sing!
And joyful from the mountain tops
Shout to the Lord the King!
17 Let all combined with one accord
Jehovah’s glories raise,
Till in remotest bounds of earth
The nations sound His praise. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Originally in the Scottish Translations and Paraphrases, 1745 as "Behold my Servant! See Him Rise"; Recast version: John Logan's Poems 1781

O God, Be Gracious (Psalm 4)
How blest are they, who fearing God
Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: How blest are they, who, fearing God Lyrics: 1 How blest are they, who, fearing God,
from sin restrain their feet,
who will not with the wicked stand,
and shun the scorner's seat.
2 How blest are they who make God's law
their treasure and delight,
and meditate upon that word
with gladness day and night.
3 Their lives are nourished like a tree
set by the river's side;
its leaf is green; its fruit is sure;
so all their works abide.
4 The wicked, like the driven chaff,
are blown across the land;
they shall not gather with the just,
nor in the judgement stand.
5 The Lord will guard the righteous well;
their way to God is known,
the way of sinners, far from God,
shall surely be o'erthrown. Topics: Christian Nurture / Teaching; Discipleship; Gladness / Happiness; Law; Metrical Psalms; River Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Paraphrase, Psalter 1912, alt.
