My God, my portion, and my love
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 255 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
My God, my portion, and my love,
My everlasting All,
I've none but thee in heaven above,
Or on this earthly ball.
2.
What empty things are all the skies,
And this inferior clod!
There's nothing here deserves my joys,
There's nothing like my God.
3.
In vain the bright, the burning sun
Scatters his feeble light;
'Tis thy sweet beams create my noon;
If thou withdraw 'tis night.
4.
And whilst upon my restless bed,
Among the shades I roll,
If my Redeemer shows his head,
'Tis morning with my soul.
5.
To thee I owe my wealth, and friends,
And health, and safe abode:
Thanks to thy name for meaner things:
But they are not my God.
6.
How vain a toy is glittering wealth,
If once compared to thee;
Or what's my safety, or my health,
Or all my friends to me?
7.
Were I possessor of the earth,
And called the stars my own,
Without thy graces and thyself,
I were a wretch undone.
8.
Let others stretch their arms like seas,
And grasp in all the shore;
Grant me the visits of thy grace,
And I desire no more.

My God, the spring of all my joys

My God, the spring of all my joys
Sing to the Lord, Ye Heav'nly Hosts
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord, ye heav’nly hosts,
And thou, O earth, adore;
Let death and hell through all their coasts
Stand trembling at His power.
2. His sounding chariot shakes the sky,
He makes the clouds His throne;
There all His stores of lightning lie,
Till vengeance darts them down.
3. His nostrils breathe out fiery streams
And from His awful tongue
A sovereign voice divides the flames,
And thunder roars along.
4. Think, O my soul! the dreadful day,
When this incensèd God
Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea,
And fling His wrath abroad.
5. What shall the wretch, the sinner do?
He once defied the Lord;
But he shall dread the Thund’rer now,
And sink beneath His Word.
6. Tempests of angry fire shall roll
To blast the rebel worm,
And beat upon his naked soul
In one eternal storm. Used With Tune: AWFUL MAJESTY Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-9, Book II, number 62, with the note "Made in a great sudden storm of thunder, August 20, 1697"

We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight
Author: Henry Alford. 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words draw near,
O Christ , Who spoke as none e’er spoke;
"My preace be with you here."
2 We may not touch Your hands and side,
Nor follow where You trod;
But in your promise we rejoice,
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near,
And seek where You are found.
4 That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are,
With full and endless sight.
