How Condescending and How Kind
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How condescending and how kind
Was God’s eternal Son!
Our misery reached His heav’nly mind,
And pity brought Him down.
2. When Justice, by our sins provoked,
Drew forth its dreadful sword,
He gave His soul up to the stroke
Without a murm’ring word.
3. He sank beneath our heavy woes,
To raise us to His throne;
There’s ne’er a gift His hand bestows
But cost His heart a groan.
4. This was compassion like a God,
That when the Savior knew
The price of pardon was His blood,
His pity ne’er withdrew.
5. Now, though He reigns exalted high,
His love is still as great;
Well He remembers Calvary,
Nor let His saints forget.
6. Here we behold His bowels roll,
As kind as when He died;
And see the sorrows of His soul
Bleed through His wounded side.
7. Here we receive repeated seals
Of Jesus’ dying love:
Hard is the wretch that never feels
One soft affection move.
8. Here let our hearts begin to melt,
While we His death record,
And with our joy for pardoned guilt,
Mourn that we pierced the Lord. Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Songs, Book III, 1709, number 4

O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 1,398 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame;
A light, to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is that soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and His Word?
3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still!
But now I find an aching void,
The world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
That drove Thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb. Topics: Backsliding Acknowledged; Dove, the Holy Spirit as; The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; Walking, with Christ With God; Holy Spirit Dove; Sin Besetting; Sin Hatred; Idols, our Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS

O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Author: J. Logan, 1748-1788; Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 392 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our father led:
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before Thy throne of grace;
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race!
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 O spread Thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace!
5 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore;
And Thou shall be our chosen God,
And portion evermore. Topics: Bethel; Bread Daily; The Godhead Creation and Providence; Daily Bread; God Providence of; Guidance Implored; Providence, Divine; Vow, to God; Providence Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS
