Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God! If He contend in righteousness, We sink beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise. 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with Thee contend? Or who that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake! The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake! 5 Ah, how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet him, and escape; But through the Savior's blood.

View of Canaan

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,386 hymnals First Line: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 O the transporting rapt'rous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight! 3 There gen'rous fruits that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales, With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds, nor pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 When shall I reach that happy place, I'll be forever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? 7 Fill'd with delight my raptur'd soul Would here no longer stay; Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

To obtain Mercy

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals First Line: My gracious, loving Lord Lyrics: 1 My gracious, loving Lord, To thee what shall I say? Well may I tremble at thy word, And scarce presume to pray. 2 Ten thousand wants have I; Alas! I all things want! But thou hast bid me always cry, And never, never faint. 3 Yet Lord, well might I fear, Fear e'en to ask thy grace, So oft have I, alas! drawn near, And mock'd thee to thy face. 4 With all pollution stain'd, Thy hallow'd courts I trod; Thy name and temple I profan'd, And dar'd to call thee God! 5 Nigh with my lips I drew: My lips were all unclean; Thee with my heat I never knew; My heart was full of sin. 6 Far from the living Lord, Far, far from God and heav'n, Thy purity I still abhorr'd, Nor look'd to be forgiv'n. Topics: Holy Spirit Repentance Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:16

The Spirituality of God

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #1 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thou art, O God! a spirit pure Lyrics: 1 Thou art, O God! a spirit pure, Invisible to mortal eyes; Th'immortal, and the eternal King, The great, the good, the only wise. 2 Whilst nature changes, and her works Corrupt, decay, dissolve, and die, Thy essence pure no change shall see, Secure of immortality. 3 Thou great Invisible! what hand Can draw thy image spotless fair! To what in heaven, to what on earth, Can men th'immortal King compare! 4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods Of gold, and silver, wood and stone; Ours is the God that made the heavens; Jehovah he, and God alone. 5 My soul, thy purest homage pay, In truth and spirit him adore: More shall this please than sacrifice, Than outward forms delight him more.

God supreme and self-sufficient

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #2 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What is our God, or what his name Lyrics: 1 What is our God, or what his name, Nor men can learn, nor angels teach; He dwells conceal'd in radiant flame, Where neither eyes nor thoughts can reach. 2 The spacious worlds of heavenly light, Compar'd with him, how short they fall! They are too dark, and he too bright; Nothing are they, and God is all. 3 He spoke that wondrous word, and lo! Creation arose at his command: Whirlwinds and seas their limits know, Bound in the hollow of his hand. 4 There rests the earth, there roll the spheres, There nature leans, and feels her prop: But his own self-sufficience bears The weight of his own glories up. 5 The tide of creatures ebbs and flows, Measuring their changes by the moon: No ebb his sea of glory knows: His age is one eternal noon. 6 Then fly, my song, an endless round, The lofty tune let Gabriel raise, All nature dwell upon the sound, But we can ne'er fulfil the praise.

Unity of God

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #3 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal God, almighty cause Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, almighty cause Of earth, and seas and worlds unknown; All things are subject to thy laws; All things depend on thee alone. 2 Thy glorious being singly stands, Of all within itself possest; By none control'd in thy commands, And in thyself completely blest. 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heav'n and earth due homage pay: All other gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 4 In thee, O Lord, our hope shall rest, Fountain of peace and joy and love! Thy favor only makes us blest; Without thee all would nothing prove. 5 Worship to thee alone belongs: Worship to thee alone we give; Thine be our hearts, and thine our songs, And to thy glory we would live. 6 Spread thy great name through heathen lands; Their idol-deities dethrone; Subdue the world to thy commands, And reign as thou art, God alone.
