My God, I love Thee; not because

Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby; Nor because they, who love Thee not, Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me Upon the Cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace; 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony; E'en death itself--and all for one Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ! Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught; Not seeking a reward; But, as Thyself hast lovéd me, O ever loving Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

But, wroth with thine anointed, thou

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 38 But, wroth with thine anointed, thou renounced and loathed him hast; 39 his covenant made void, his crown to earth profaned cast. 40 His hedges all hast broke down, his strong-holds down hast torn. 41 He is a spoil to passers-by, to neighbours all a scorn. 42 Thou hast set up his foes’ right hand; made all his enemies glad: 43 turned his sword’s edge, and him to stand in battle hast not made. 44 His glory thou hast made to cease, his throne to ground down cast; 45 thou shortened hast his days of youth, with shame him covered hast. 46 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself? for ever, in thine ire? and shall thine indignation hot burn like unto a fire? 47 Remember, Lord, how short a time I shall on earth remain: O wherefore is it so that thou hast made all men in vain? 48 What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the power of the grave what man his soul shall free? 49 Thy former loving-kindnesses, O Lord, where be they now? Those which in truth and faithfulness to David sworn hast thou? 50 Mind, Lord, thy servant’s sad reproach; I in my bosom bear the scornings of the people all, who strong and mighty are: 51 and that thine enemies, O Lord, have cast reproach upon, have cast reproach upon the steps of thine anointed one. 52 All blessing to the Lord our God let be ascribed then: for evermore so let it be. Amen, yea, and amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:38-52 Used With Tune: CHESHIRE

He Reigns — Th' Almighty Reigns Supreme

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: He reigns—th’ Almighty reigns supreme Lyrics: 1 He reigns—th’Almighty reigns supreme Ye humble saints rejoice: Nations attend with awe, and hear The thunder of His voice. 2 Dominions, thrones, and mighty powers Lie prostrate at His feet: Each seraph lays his glittering crown Before His awful seat. 3 Ten thousand shining servants wait His orders to fulfill: As lightning swift they fly to save, And fly as swift to kill. 4 Earth trembles at one look of His, And mighty seas retire: Touched by His hand, the mountains smoke, And pour down liquid fire. 5 Great as His power, so great His grace, For mercy guards His throne: By mercy more than by His wrath He chooses to be known. 6 Lord, may Thy terrors fill my soul With sacred awe of Thee; So shall Thy power, and boundless grace, My constant refuge be.
