The nations thou hast made shall bring Their off'rings round thy throne; For thou alone dost wondrous things, For thou art God alone. Lord, I would walk with holy feet; Teach me thine heav'nly ways, And my poor scattered thoughts unite In God my Father's praise.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86:15 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in his justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner and more graces for the good; there is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, we would take him at his word, and our lives would be illumined by the presence of our Lord.

To my Complaint, O Lord my God

Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86 Lyrics: 1 To my Complaint, O Lord my God, thy gracious Ear incline; Hear me, distress'd and destitute of all Relief but thine; 2 Do thou, O God, preserve my Soul, that does thy Name adore: Thy Servant keep, and him, whose Trust relies on Thee, restore. 3 To me who daily Thee invoke, thy Mercy, Lord, extend; 4 Refresh thy Servant's Soul, whose Hopes on Thee alone depend. 5 Thou, Lord, art good, nor only good, but prompt to pardon too: Of plenteous Mercy to all those who for thy Mercy sue. 6 To my repeated humble Pray'r, O Lord, attentive be; 7 When troubled I on Thee will call, for Thou wilt answer me. 8 Among the Gods there's none like Thee, O Lord, alone divine! To Thee as much inferior they, as are their Works to thine. 9 Therefore their great Creator Thee, the Nations shall adore; Their long misguided Pray'rs and Praise to thy blest Name restore. 10 All shall confess Thee great, and great the Wonders thou hast done; Confess thee God, thee God supreme, Confess thee God alone. Part II 11 Teach me thy Way, O Lord, and I from Truth shall ne'er depart; In Rev'rence to thy sacred Name devoutly fix my Heart. 12 Thee will I praise, O Lord my God, praise thee with Heart sincere: And to thy everlasting name eternal Trophies rear. 13 Thy boundless Mercy shewn to me, transcends my Pow'r to tell, For thou haSt oft redeem'd my Soul from lowest Depths of Hell. 14 O God, the Sons of Pride and Strife have my Destruction sought, Regardless of thy Pow'r that oft has my Deliv'rance wrought: 15 But thou thy constant Goodness didst to my Assistance bring; Of Patience, Mercy, and of Truth, thou everlasting Spring! 16 O bounteous Lord, thy Grace and Strength to me thy Servant show; Thy kind Protection, Lord, on me, thine Handmaid's Son bestow. 17 Some Signal give, which my proud Foes may see with Shame and Rage, When thou, O Lord, for my Relief and Comfort do'st engage.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86 First Line: O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear Lyrics: 1O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear, and hear me graciously; Because I sore afflicted am, and am in poverty. 2Because I’m holy, let my soul by thee preserved be: O thou my God, thy servant save, that puts his trust in thee. 3Sith unto thee I daily cry, be merciful to me. 4Rejoice thy servant’s soul; for, Lord, I lift my soul to thee. 5For thou art gracious, O Lord, and ready to forgive; And rich in mercy, all that call upon thee to relieve. 6Hear, Lord, my pray’r; unto the voice of my request attend: 7In troublous times I’ll call on thee; for thou wilt answer send. 8Lord, there is none among the gods that may with thee compare; And like the works which thou hast done, not any work is there. 9All nations whom thou mad’st shall come and worship rev’rently Before thy face; and they, O Lord, thy name shall glorify. 10Because thou art exceeding great, and works by thee are done Which are to be admir’d; and thou art God thyself alone. 11Teach me thy way, and in thy truth, O Lord, then walk will I; Unite my heart, that I thy name may fear continually. 12O Lord my God, with all my heart to thee I will give praise; And I the glory will ascribe unto thy name always: 13Because thy mercy toward me in greatness doth excel; And thou deliver’d hast my soul out from the lowest hell. 14O God, the proud against me rise, and vi’lent men have met, That for my soul have sought; and thee before them have not set. 15But thou art full of pity, Lord, a God most gracious, Long-suffering, and in thy truth and mercy plenteous. 16O turn to me thy countenance, and mercy on me have; Thy servant strengthen, and the son of thine own handmaid save. 17Shew me a sign for good, that they which do me hate may see, And be asham’d; because thou, Lord, didst help and comfort me.
