Father, to Thee my soul I lift
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, to Thee my soul I lift;
My soul to Thee depends,
Convinced that every perfect gift
From Thee alone descends.
2 Mercy and grace are Thine alone,
And power and wisdom too;
Without the Spirit of Thy Son
We nothing good can do.
3 Thou all our works in us hast wrought,
Our good is all divine;
The praise of every virtuous thought
Or righteous work is Thine.
4 From Thee, through Jesus, we receive
The power on Thee to call,
In whom we are, and move and live:
Our God is all in all. Topics: The Christian Life Trust Used With Tune: CHESTERFIELD

Make of Our Life a House of Praise
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make of our life a house of praise
Where all, with one accord,
Unite to walk in Jesus' ways,
The temple of the Lord.
2 Here may we find our prayers are heard,
And grow in truth and grace,
Receive from Christ His holy word
And know His love's embrace.
3 May such a house of calm and peace
The Spirit strive to build;
Where kindliness and faith increase,
The storms of life are stilled.
4 Teach us our house of life to share,
That all who will may come,
The lost be doubly welcome there,
The wand'rer find a home.
5 So may our doors be open wide,
And life together prove
A house where God is glorified,
And a house of praise and love. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Marriage; Family and Home; Praise Scripture: 1 Kings 8:30 Used With Tune: RICHMOND

In Judah's Rugged Wilderness
Author: T. Fletcher Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: In Judah’s rugged wilderness Lyrics: 1 In Judah’s rugged wilderness,
Where Jordan rolls his flood,
In manners strict, and rude in dress,
The holy Baptist stood.
2 And while upon the river’s side
The people thronged to hear,
"Repent," the sacred preacher cried;
"The heavenly kingdom’s near."
3 Now Jesus to the stream descends;
His feet the waters lave;
And o’er His head, that humbly bends,
The Baptist pours the wave.
4 When lo! a heavenly form appears,
Descending as a dove;
And wondrous sounds th’assembly hears,
Proclaiming from above—
5 "This is My well belovèd Son;
On Him My Spirit rests;
Now is His reign of grace begun;
Attend His high behests."
6 The sacred voice has reached our ear,
And still through distant lands
Shall sound, till all His name revere,
And honor His commands. Used With Tune: RICHMOND Text Sources: The Halifax Selection of Hymns by R. Bell and J. C. Hoatson (Halifax: 1834)
In Judah's Rugged Wilderness
How Few Receive with Cordial Faith
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How few receive with cordial faith
The tidings which we bring?
How few have seen the arm revealed
Of Heav’n’s eternal King?
2. The Savior comes! no outward pomp
Bespeaks His presence nigh;
No earthly beauty shines in Him
To draw the carnal eye.
3. Fair as a beauteous tender flower
Amidst the desert grows,
So slighted by a rebel race
The heav’nly Savior rose.
4. Rejected and despised of men,
Behold a Man of woe!
Grief was His close companion still
Through all His life below.
5. Yet all the griefs He felt were ours,
Ours were the woes He bore:
Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul
With bitter anguish tore.
6. We held Him as condemned by Heav’n,
An outcast from His God,
While for our sins He groaned, He bled,
Beneath His Father’s rod.
7. His sacred blood hath washed our souls
From sin’s polluted stain;
His stripes have healed us, and His death
Revived our souls again.
8. We all, like sheep, had gone astray
In ruin’s fatal road:
On Him were our transgressions laid;
He bore the mighty load.
9. Wronged and oppressed how meekly He
In patient silence stood!
Mute, as the peaceful harmless lamb,
When brought to shed its blood.
10. Who can His generation tell?
From prison see Him led!
With impious show of law condemned,
And numbered with the dead.
11. ’Midst sinners low in dust He lay;
The rich a grave supplied:
Unspotted was His blameless life;
Unstained by sin He died.
12. Yet God shall raise His head on high,
Though thus He brought Him low;
His sacred offering, when complete,
Shall terminate His woe.
13. For, saith the Lord, My pleasure then
Shall prosper in His hand;
His shall a numerous offspring be,
And still His honors stand.
14. His soul, rejoicing, shall behold
The purchase of His pain;
And all the guilty whom He saved
Shall bless Messiah’s reign.
15. He with the great shall share the spoil,
And baffle all His foes;
Though ranked with sinners, here He fell,
A Conqueror He rose.
16. He died to bear the guilt of men,
That sin might be forgiv’n:
He lives to bless them and defend,
And plead their cause in Heav’n. Used With Tune: RICHMOND (Haweis) Text Sources: Scottish Translations and Paraphrases, 1745-51
How Few Receive with Cordial Faith
O Praise the Lord, For He Is Good
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, for he is good,
his mercies still endure;
thus say the ransomed of the Lord,
from all their foes secure.
2 He gathered them from out the lands,
from north, south, east and west.
They strayed in desert's pathless way,
No city found for rest.
3 Their weary soul within them faints
when thirst and hunger press;
in trouble then they cried to God,
he saved them from distress.
4 He made the way before them straight,
himself became their guide,
that they might to a city go
wherein they might abide.
5 O that men would Jehovah praise
for all his kindness shown,
and for his works so wonderful
which he to men makes known!
6 Because the longing soul by him
with food is satisfied,
the hungry soul that looks to him
with goodness is supplied.
