A Perfect Path of Purest Grace

Author: Wylie Macleod Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. A perfect path of purest grace, Unblemished and complete, Was Thine, Thou spotless Nazarite, Pure, even to the feet. 2. Thy stainless life, Thy lovely walk, In every aspect true, From the defilement all around, No taint of evil drew. 3. No broken service, Lord was Thine, No change was in Thy way; Unsullied in Thy holiness, Thy strength knew no decay. 4. The vow was on Thee—Thou didst come, To yield Thyself to death; And consecration marked Thy path, And spoke in every breath. 5. Morning by morning Thou didst wake, Amidst this poisoned air; Yet no contagion touched Thy soul, No sin disturbed Thy prayer. 6. Thus, Lord we love to trace Thy course, To mark where Thou hast trod, And follow Thee with loving eye, Up to the throne of God. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

Who Dares Attempt Th'Eternal Name?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name Lyrics: 1 Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name With notes of mortal sound? Dangers and glories guard the theme, And spread despair around. 2 Destruction waits t’obey His frown, And Heav’n attends His smile; A wreath of lightning arms His crown, But love adorns it still. 3 Celestial King, our spirits lie Trembling beneath Thy feet, And wish, and cast a longing eye, To reach Thy lofty seat. 4 When shall we see the Great Unknown, And in Thy presence stand? Reveal the splendors of Thy throne, But shield us with Thy hand. 5 In Thee what endless wonders meet! What various glory shines! The crossing rays too fiercely beat Upon our fainting minds. 6 Angels are lost in sweet surprise If Thou unveil Thy grace; And humble awe runs thro’ the Skies, When wrath arrays Thy face. 7 When mercy joins with majesty To spread their beams abroad, Not all the fairest minds on high Are shadows of a God. 8 Thy works the strongest seraph sings In far too feeble strain. And labors hard on all his strings To reach Thy thoughts in vain. 9 Created powers, how weak they be! How short our praises fall! So much akin to nothing we, And Thou th’Eternal All. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE Text Sources: Horae Lyricae Book I, 1706, alt.

Afflictions Do Not Come Alone

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Afflictions do not come alone, A voice attends the rod; By both He to His saints is known, A Father and a God! 2. Let not My children slight the stroke I for chastisement send; Nor faint beneath My kind rebuke, For still I am their friend. 3. The wicked I perhaps may leave Awhile, and not reprove; But all the children I receive I scourge, because I love. 4. If therefore you were left without This needful discipline; You might, with cause, admit a doubt, If you, indeed, were Mine. 5. Shall earthly parents then expect Their children to submit? And wilt not you, when I correct, Be humbled at My feet? 6. To please themselves they oft chastise, And put their sons to pain; But you are precious in My eyes, And shall not smart in vain. 7. I see your hearts, at present, filled With grief, and deep distress; But soon these bitter seeds shall yield The fruits of righteousness. 8. Break through the clouds, dear Lord, and shine! Let us perceive Thee nigh! And to each mourning child of Thine These gracious words apply. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 135

Though mischief in their hearts may dwell, And on their tongues deceit, A word of His their pride can quell, And all their aims defeat. 3. My trust is in His grace alone; His house shall be my home. How sweet His mercies past to own, And hope for more to come. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE Text Sources: Poems Chiefly Religious, 1833

Paraphrase 22, verses 3-8

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Art thou afraid his power shall fail Lyrics: 1 Art thou afraid his power shall fail when comes thy evil day? And can an all-creating arm grow weary or decay? 2 Supreme in wisdom as in power the Rock of ages stands; though him thou canst not see, nor trace the working of his hands. 3 He gives the conquest to the weak, supports the fainting heart; and courage in the evil hour his heavenly aids impart. 4 Mere human power shall fast decay, and youthful vigour cease; but they who wait upon the Lord in strength shall still increase. 5 They with unwearied feet shall tread the path of life divine; with growing ardour onward move, with growing brightness shine. 6 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar, their wings are faith and love, till, past the cloudy regions here, they rise to heaven above. Topics: Our Response to God in adoration and gratitude; Encouragement Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN (ABRIDGE) Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781
