My God, the Spring of All My Joys

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 566 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, the Spring of all my joys, The Life of my delights, The Glory of my brightest days, And Comfort of my nights! 2. In darkest shades, if He appear, My dawning is begun, He is my soul’s bright morning star, And He my rising sun. 3. The opening heav’ns around me shine, With beams of sacred bliss, While Jesus shows His heart is mine, And whispers, I am His. 4. My soul would leave this heavy clay, At that transporting word, Run up with joy the shining way, T’embrace my dearest Lord. 5. Fearless of hell and ghastly death, I’d break through every foe; The wings of love and arms of faith Would bear me conqueror through.

Let Us Adore The Grace That Seeks

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us adore the grace that seeks To draw our hearts above! Attend, ’tis God the Savior speaks, And every word is love. 2 Though filled with awe, before His throne Each angel veils his face; He claims a people for His own Amongst our sinful race. 3 Careless, awhile, they live in sin, Enslaved to Satan’s power; But they obey the call divine, In His appointed hour. 4 "Come forth," He says, "no more pursue The paths that lead to death; Look up, a bleeding Savior view, Look, and be saved by faith." 5 "My sons and daughters you shall be Through the atoning blood; And you shall claim, and find, in Me, A father, and a God." 6 Lord, speak these words to every heart, By Thine all-powerful voice; That we may now from sin depart, And make Thy love our choice. 7 If now, we learn to seek Thy face By Christ, the living way; We’ll praise Thee for this hour of grace, Through an eternal day.
