Can Creatures To Perfection Find

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Can creatures to perfection find Th’ eternal, uncreated Mind? Or can the largest stretch of thought Measure and search His nature out? 2 ’Tis high as Heav’n, ’tis deep as hell And what can mortals know or tell? His glory spreads beyond the sky, And all the shining worlds on high. 3 But man, vain man, would fain be wise; Born like a wild young colt, He flies Through all the follies of His mind, And swells, and snuffs the empty wind. 4 God is a king of power unknown, Firm are the orders of His throne; If He resolve, who dares oppose, Or ask him why or what He does? 5 He wounds the heart, and He makes whole He calms the tempest of the soul; When He shuts up in long despair, Who can remove the heavy bar? 6 He frowns, and darkness veils the moon; The fainting sun grows dim at noon; The pillars of Heav’n’s starry roof Tremble and start at His reproof. 7 He gave the vaulted Heav’n its form, The crooked serpent, and the worm; He breaks the billows with His breath, And smites the sons of pride to death. 8 These are a portion of His ways; But who shall dare describe His face? Who can endure His light, or stand To hear the thunders of His hand? Used With Tune: LLEF Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs 1707-09, Book II

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bow down thine ear, O Lord, and hear, for I am poor and great my need; preserve my soul, for thee I fear; O God, thy trusting servant heed. 2 O Lord, be merciful to me, for all the day to thee I cry; rejoice thy servant, for to thee I lift my soul, O Lord Most High. 3 For thou, O Lord, art good and kind, and ready to forgive thou art; abundant mercy they shall find who call on thee with all their heart. 4 O Lord, incline thine ear to me, my voice of supplication heed; in trouble I will cry to thee, for thou wilt answer when I plead. 5 There is no God but thee alone, nor works like thine, O Lord Most High, all nations shall surround thy throne and their Creator glorify. 6 In all thy deeds how great thou art! Thou one true God, thy way make clear; teach me with undivided heart to trust thy truth, thy name to fear.

Oh Merciful Creator, Hear Our Prayer

Author: Gregory I, 6th century; Drummond Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Oh merciful Creator! Hear Lyrics: 1 Oh merciful Creator! Hear Our prayer, to Thee devoutly bent, Which we pour forth with many a tear In this Thy holy fast of Lent! 2 Thou mildest searcher of the heart, Who know’st the weakness of our strength, To us forgiving grace impart, That we may seek Thy face at length. 3 We all have sinned, we own our shame, But spare us who our sins confess, And for the glory of Thy name, To our sick souls afford redress. 4 Grant that the flesh may be so pined, By means of outward abstinence, As that the sober watchful mind May fast from spots of foul offense! 5 Grant this, O blessèd Trinity! Pure Son of God! to this incline. That of our fast the fruit may be A grateful recompense for Thine!
