O could I speak the matchless worth
Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 756 hymnals Lyrics:
O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Savior shine,
I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings,
And vie with Gabriel while he sings
In notes almost divine.
I'd sing the characters he bears,
And all the forms of love he wears,
Exalted on his throne:
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all his glories known.
O the delightful day will come
When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see his face;
Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in his grace.
Topics: Sundays after Trinity Praise and Adoration Used With Tune: MERIBAH

Let All the Earth Their Voices Raise
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let all the earth their voices raise
To sing the choicest psalm of praise,
To sing and bless Jehovah’s name:
His glory let the heathens know,
His wonders to the nations show,
And all His saving works proclaim.
2. The heathens know Thy glory, Lord,
The wondering nations read Thy Word,
In Britain is Jehovah known:
Our worship shall no more be paid
To gods which mortal hands have made;
Our maker is our God alone.
3. He framed the globe, He built the sky,
He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns complete in glory there:
His beams are majesty and light;
His beauties, how divinely bright!
His temple, how divinely fair!
4. Come the great day, the glorious hour,
When earth shall feel His saving power,
And barbarous nations fear His name;
Then shall the race of man confess
The beauty of His holiness,
And in His courts His grace proclaim. Used With Tune: ARIEL Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Let All the Earth Their Voices Raise
O Lord! How Happy Should We Be
Author: Joseph Anstice Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord! how happy should we be,
If we could leave our cares to Thee,
If we from self could rest;
And feel at heart that One above,
In perfect wisdom, perfect love,
Is working for the best.
2. How far from this our daily life
How oft disturbed by anxious strife,
By sudden wild alarms;
Oh, could we but relinquish all
Our earthly props, and simply fall
On Thy almighty arms
3. Could we but kneel and cast our care
Upon our God in humble prayer,
With strengthened souls we rise,
Sure that our Father who is nigh,
To hear the ravens when they cry,
Will hear His children’s cries.
4. We cannot trust Him as we should;
So chafes weak nature’s restless mood
To cast its peace away;
But birds and flowerets round us preach,
All, all the present evil teach
Sufficient for the day.
5. Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours
Such lessons learn from birds and flowers,
And learn from self to cease;
Leave all things to a Father’s will,
And taste, before Him lying still
E’en in affliction, peace! Used With Tune: MERIBAH
O Lord! How Happy Should We Be

O Glorious Hope of Perfect Love
Author: John Wesley; Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 223 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O glorious hope of perfect love!
It lifts me up to things above;
It bears on eagles’ wings.
It gives my ravished soul a taste,
And makes me for some moments feast
With Jesus’ priests and kings,
With Jesus’ priests and kings.
2. Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain top
See all the lands below.
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow,
In endless plenty grow.
3. A land of corn, and wine, and oil;
Favored with God’s peculiar smile,
With ev’ry blessing blest;
There dwells the Lord our Righteousness,
And keeps His own in perfect peace,
And everlasting rest,
And everlasting rest.
4. Oh, that I might at once go up;
No more on this side of Jordan stop,
But now the land possess;
This moment end my legal years,
Sorrows and sins, and doubts and fears,
A howling wilderness,
A howling wilderness! Used With Tune: ARIEL Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, by John and Charles Wesley, 1742

Soliloquy on the Eve of New Year's Day
And Am I Only Born to Die?
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1. And am I only born to die?
And must I suddenly comply
With nature’s stern decree?
What after death for me remains?
Celestial joys, or hellish pains,
To all eternity?
2. How then ought I on earth to live,
While God prolongs the kind reprieve
And props the house of clay?
My sole concern, my single care,
To watch, and tremble, and prepare
Against the fatal day.
3. No room for mirth or trifling here,
For worldly hope, or worldly fear,
If life so soon is gone:
If now the Judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
The inexorable throne!
4. No matter which my thoughts employ,
A moment’s misery, or joy;
But O! when both shall end,
Where shall I find my destined place?
Shall I my everlasting days
With fiends, or angels spend?
5. Nothing is worth a thought beneath
But how I may escape the death
That never, never dies;
How make mine own election sure,
And, when I fail on earth, secure
A mansion in the skies.
6. Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray,
Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way
To glorious happiness;
Ah, write the pardon on my heart,
And whensoe’er I hence depart,
Let me depart in peace. Used With Tune: VENETIA Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1763
