My heart shall triumph in the Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word: Thy works of grace, how bight they shine! How deep thy counsels, how divine! Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE

My God, my portion, and my love

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 253 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, my portion, and my love, My everlasting All, I've none but thee in heaven above, Or on this earthly ball. 2. What empty things are all the skies, And this inferior clod! There's nothing here deserves my joys, There's nothing like my God. 3. In vain the bright, the burning sun Scatters his feeble light; 'Tis thy sweet beams create my noon; If thou withdraw 'tis night. 4. And whilst upon my restless bed, Among the shades I roll, If my Redeemer shows his head, 'Tis morning with my soul. 5. To thee I owe my wealth, and friends, And health, and safe abode: Thanks to thy name for meaner things: But they are not my God. 6. How vain a toy is glittering wealth, If once compared to thee; Or what's my safety, or my health, Or all my friends to me? 7. Were I possessor of the earth, And called the stars my own, Without thy graces and thyself, I were a wretch undone. 8. Let others stretch their arms like seas, And grasp in all the shore; Grant me the visits of thy grace, And I desire no more. Used With Tune: DUNLAP'S CREEK

Rock of Ages, shelter me

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,989 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2. Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and thou alone. 3. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace, Black, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyestrings break in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee. Used With Tune: ROCK OF AGES
