How Hurtful Was the Choice of Lot

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How hurtful was the choice of Lot, Who took up his abode (Because it was a fruitful spot) With them who feared not God! 2. A prisoner he was quickly made, Bereaved of all his store; And, but for Abraham’s timely aid, He had returned no more. 3. Yet still he seemed resolved to stay As if it were his rest; Although their sins from day to day His righteous soul distressed. 4. Awhile he stayed with anxious mind, Exposed to scorn and strife; At last he left his all behind, And fled to save his life. 5. In vain his sons-in-law he warned, They thought he told his dreams; His daughters too, of them had learned, And perished in the flames. 6. His wife escaped a little way, But died for looking back: Does not her case to pilgrims say, Beware of growing slack? 7. Yea; Lot himself could ling’ring stand, Though vengeance was in view; ’Twas mercy plucked him by the hand, Or he had perished too. 8. The doom of Sodom wilt be ours If to the earth we cleave; Lord, quicken all our drowsy pow’rs, To flee to Thee and live. Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

O That Thy Statutes Every Hour

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 83 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O that Thy statutes every hour Might dwell upon my mind! Thence I derive a quickening power And daily peace I find. 2 To meditate Thy precepts, Lord, Shall be my sweet employ; My soul shall ne’er forget Thy Word; Thy Word is all my joy. 3 How would I run in Thy commands If Thou my heart discharge From sin and Satan’s hateful chains, And set my feet at large! 4 My lips with courage shall declare Thy statutes and Thy name; I’ll speak Thy Word, tho’ kings should hear, Nor yield to sinful shame. 5 Let bands of persecutors rise To rob me of my right; Let pride and malice forge their lies, Thy law is my delight. 6 Depart from me, ye wicked race, Whose hands and hearts are ill; I love my God, I love His ways, And must obey His will.
