Holy Lord God! I Love Thy Truth

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Holy Lord God! I love Thy truth, Nor dare Thy least commandment slight; Yet pierced by sin, the serpent’s tooth, I mourn the anguish of the bite. 2. But though the poison lurks within, Hope bids me still with patience wait; Till death shall set me free from sin, Free from the only thing I hate. 3. Had I a throne above the rest, Where angels and archangels dwell; One sin, unslain, within my breast, Would make that Heav’n as dark as hell. 4. The prisoner, sent to breathe fresh air, And blessed with liberty again, Would mourn, were he condemned to wear One link of all his former chain. 5. But O! no foe invades the bliss, When glory crowns the Christian’s head; One view of Jesus as He is, Will strike all sin forever dead. Used With Tune: GERMANY Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W.

The Eastern Sages Sought Their Lord

Author: Thomas Davis Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The eastern sages sought their Lord, While loving arms His form could fold; And, freely as their hearts adored, Gave myrrh and frankincense and gold. 2 They knew the promised infant King, Though mean His dwelling, and confessed; Nor would they other tribute bring Than sweetest, costliest, and best. 3 And shall not we the Savior own, And offer gifts, when in the sky He sits on His eternal throne, And rules in glorious majesty? 4 O Lord our God, Thy grace impart; And teach us always to present, With willing hands and grateful heart, The best Thou bounteous love hath lent.
