Laden with Guilt, and Full of Fears

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Laden with guilt, and full of fears, I fly to Thee, my Lord, And not a glimpse of hope appears But in Thy written Word. 2. The volume of my Father’s grace Does all my griefs assuage; Here I behold my Savior’s face Almost in every page. 3. This is the field where hidden lies The pearl of price unknown; That merchant is divinely wise Who makes the pearl his own. 4. Here consecrated water flows To quench my thirst of sin; Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, Nor danger dwells therein. 5. This is the Judge that ends the strife Where wit and reason fail, My guide to everlasting life Through all this gloomy vale. 6. O may Thy counsels, mighty God, My roving feet command; Nor I forsake the happy road That leads to Thy right hand. Used With Tune: ST. SAVIOUR (Baker) Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-1709

There's Not a Tint that Paints the Rose

Author: James C. Wallace Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1. There’s not a tint that paints the rose, Or decks the lily fair, Or streaks the humblest flower that blows, But God has placed it there. 2. There’s not of grass a single blade, Or leaf of loveliest green, Where heav’nly skill is not displayed, And heav’nly wisdom seen. 3. There’s not a star whose twinkling light Shines on the distant earth And cheers the silent gloom of night, But God has given it birth. 4. There’s not a place on earth’s vast round In ocean deep, or air, Where skill and wisdom are not found, For God is everywhere. 5. Around, beneath, below, above, As far as space extends, There He displays His boundless love, And power with mercy blends. Used With Tune: ST.
