Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 2 My soul lies humbled in the dust And owns Thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. 3 Then will I teach the world Thy ways; Sinner shall learn Thy sov'reign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 4 O may Thy love inspire my tongue; Salvation shall be all my song, And all my pow'r shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.

When Israel, Freed from Pharaoh's Hand

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Israel, freed from Pharaoh’s hand Left the proud tyrant and his land, The tribes with cheerful homage own Their king, and Judah was His throne. 2. Across the deep their journey lay; The deep divides to make them way; Jordan beheld their march, and fled With backward current to his head. 3. The mountains shook like frighted sheep, Like lambs the little hillocks leap; Not Sinai on her base could stand, Conscious of sovereign power at hand. 4. What power could make the deep divide? Make Jordan backward roll his tide? Why did ye leap, ye little hills? And whence the fright that Sinai feels? 5. Let every mountain, every flood, Retire and know th’approaching God, The King of Israel: see Him here; Tremble, thou earth, adore and fear. 6. He thunders, and all nature mourns; The rock to standing pools He turns; Flints spring with fountains at His word, And fires and seas confess the Lord.

How Great, How Terrible That God

Author: Samuel Davies, 1723-1761 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How great, how terrible that God, Who shakes creation with His nod! He frowns—earth, sea, all nature’s frame, Sink in one universal flame. 2 Where now, O where shall sinners seek For shelter in the general wreck? Shall falling rocks be o’er them thrown? See rocks, like snow, dissolving down! 3 In vain for mercy now they cry; In lakes of liquid fire they lie; There on the flaming billows tossed, For ever—O, for ever lost! 4 But saints, undaunted and serene, Your eyes shall view the dreadful scene; Your Savior lives, the worlds expire; And earth and skies dissolve in fire. 5 Jesus, the helpless creature’s friend, To Thee my all I dare commend; Thou canst preserve my feeble soul, When lightnings blaze from pole to pole.

Everest, 1814-1877 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 304 hymnals First Line: Take up your cross, the Savior said Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said, "If you would my disciple be; Take up your cross with willing heart, And humbly follow after me." 2 Take up your cross: let not its weight Fill your weak spirit with alarm; His strength shall bear your spirit up, And brace your heart and nerve your arm. 3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame, And let your foolish heart be still; The Lord for you accepted death Upon a cross on Calv'ry's hill. 4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength, And calmly ev'ry danger brave: It guides you to a better home And leads to vict'ry o'er the grave. 5 Take up your cross and follow Christ, Nor think till death to lay it down; For those who humbly bear the cross One day will wear the glorious crown.

He Reigns!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 137 hymnals First Line: He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns Lyrics: 1. He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns; Praise Him in evangelic strains; Let the whole earth in songs rejoice, And distant islands join their voice. 2. Deep are His counsels, and unknown, But grace and truth support His throne; Through gloomy clouds His ways surround, Justice is their eternal ground. 3. In robes of judgment, lo! He comes, Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs; Before Him burns devouring fire; The mountains melt, the seas retire. 4. His enemies, with sore dismay, Fly from the sight, and shun the day; Then lift your heads, ye saints on high, And sing for your redemption’s nigh.
