Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Man By nature, grace and glory First Line: Lord, what is man? Extremes how wide Lyrics: 1 Lord, what is man? Extremes how wide In this mysterious nature join! The flesh, to worms and dust ally'd The soul immortal and divine! 2 Divine at first, a holy flame Kindled by the Almighty's breath; Till stain'd by sin, it soon became The seat of darkness, strife, and death. 3 But Jesus, Oh! amazing grace! Affirm'd our nature as his own, Obey'd and suffer'd in our place, Then took it with him to his throne. 4 Near to which throne, and high in song, Man shall his hallelujahs raise; While wond'ring angels round him throng, And swell the chorus of his praise.

Let me but hear my Saviour say

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Dominion of man over creatures; God his sovereignty and goodness to man; God made man; Man dominion over creatures Lyrics: Let me but hear my Savior say, "Strength shall be equal to thy day," Then I rejoice in deep distress, Leaning on all-sufficient grace. I glory in infirmity, That Christ's own power may rest on me: When I am weak, then am I strong, Grace is my shield, and Christ my song. I can do all things, or can bear All suff'rings, if my Lord be there; Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains, While his left hand my head sustains. But if the Lord be once withdrawn, And we attempt the work alone, When new temptations spring and rise, We find how great our weakness is. [So Samson, when his hair was lost, Met the Philistines to his cost; Shook his vain limbs with sad surprise, Made feeble fight, and lost his eyes.] Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:10

They give a loose to wild desires; But let the sinners know The strict account that God requires Of all the works they do. The Judge prepares his throne on high, The frighted earth and seas Avoid the fury of his eye, And flee before his face. How shall I bear that dreadful day, And stand the fiery test? I give all mortal joys away, To be for ever blessed. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9

The dust returns to dust again; The soul, in agonies of pain, Ascends to God, not there to dwell, But hears her doom, and sinks to hell. Eternal King! I fear thy name; Teach me to know how frail I am; And when my soul must hence remove, Give me a mansion in thy love. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:1

Blest is the Man, to whom the GOD of Heaven

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of Happiness of Man Lyrics: 1 Blest is the Man, to whom the GOD of Heaven, All his Transgressions freely hath forgiven: Whose Guilt is cover'd, and shall not appear; At GOD's Tribunal to condemn him there. Thrice bless'd is he, who as he has transgressed, With contrite Heart hath all his Crimes confessed; To whom the LORD will not impute his Sin, And whose pure Soul from all Deceit is clean. 2 Whilst I concael'd my Sin, my heart was grieved, My Bones consuming could not be relieved; All Day, did I with Anguish roar; But no Complaints assuag'd my fretting Sore. Heavy, O LORD! thy Hand on me remain'd, And I was quite of vital Moisture drained; Like parched Lands, with Summer's Drought opprest, And equally by Day and Night distress'd. 3 But I no sooner had my Guilt disclosed, Than thy Forgiveness kindly interposed; I shew'd the Wound that tortur'd me within, And Mercy's healing Balm was poured in. Thus with Success Repentance shall be crowned, Whilst in the Flood the thoughtless Wretch is drowned: To those who seek, and would thy Pardon find, Thou art, O LORD! in mercy still inclin'd. Part II 4 Thy Mercies never fail, when I'm distressed, By thee, my haughty Foes are all suppressed: Thou art my Refuge, safe I will rejoice, And thee, my Saviour, praise with Heart and Voice. If then my safe Instructions you confide in, The sacred paths of Truth you will abide in; Your Progress I securely will direct, And with my watchful Eye your Ways protect. 5 Be ye like Men who Reason have attained, And not like those whose Fury must be reined; Behave not like th' ungovern'd Horse or Mule, But yield yourselves to Wisdom's sacred Rule, Sorrows on Sorrows ever multiplied, Are heap'd on those who have the LORD defied; While plenteous Mercy shall the Just surround, Who have in him their only Refuge found. 6 Then let the Saints be glad in GOD their Saviour; Rejoice, ye Righteous, in th' Almighty's Favour: Ye upright ones, your chearful Voices raise, In grateful Raptures sing JEHOVAH's Praise. Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: [Blest is the man, to whom the God of Heaven]
