Lord, from the depths to Thee I cried

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, from the depths to Thee I cried: My voice, Lord, do Thou hear: Unto my supplication's voice Give an attentive ear. 2 Lord, who shall stand, if Thou, O Lord, Shouldst mark iniquity? But yet with Thee forgiveness is, That feared Thou mayest be. 3 I wait for God, my soul doth wait; My hope is in His word. More than they that for morning watch, My soul waits for the Lord; 4 I say, more than they that do watch The morning light to see. Let Israel hope in the Lord, For with Him mercies be. 5 Redemption also plenteous Is ever found with Him: And from all his iniquities He Israel shall redeem. Amen.

Thus speaks the heathen: How shall man

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus speaks the heathen: How shall man the Pow’r Supreme adore? With what accepted off’rings come his mercy to implore? 2 Shall clouds of incense to the skies with grateful odour speed? or victims from a thousand hills upon the altar bleed? 3 Does justice nobler blood demand to save the sinner’s life? Shall, trembling, in his offspring’s side the father plunge the knife? 4 No: God rejects the bloody rites which blindfold zeal began; his oracles of truth proclaim the message brought to man. 5 He what is good hath clearly shown, O favoured race! to thee; and what doth God require of those who bend to him the knee? 6 Thy deeds, let sacred justice rule; thy heart, let mercy fill; and, walking humbly with thy God, to him resign thy will.

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 551 hymnals Lyrics: 1 According to thy gracious word in meek humility, this will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, my bread from heaven shall be; thy cup of blessing I will take, and thus remember thee. 3 Can I Gethsemane forget or there thy conflict see, thine agony and bloody sweat, and not remember thee? 4 When to the cross I tum mine eyes, and rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember thee: 5 Remember thee, and all thy pains, and all thy love to me; yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, will I remember thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, and mind and memory flee, when thou shalt in thy kingdom come, then, Lord, remember me.

Lo! What a Glorious Sight Appears

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 288 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lo! what a glorious sight appears To our believing eyes! The earth and sea are passed away, And the old rolling skies. 2. From the third heav’n, where God resides, That holy, happy place, The new Jerusalem comes down, Adorned with shining grace. 3. Attending angels shout for joy, And the bright armies sing— “Mortals, behold the sacred seat Of your descending King. 4. “The God of glory down to men Removes His blest abode; Men, the dear objects of His grace, And he the loving God. 5. His own soft hand shall wipe the tears From every weeping eye, And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears, And death itself, shall die. 6. How long, dear Savior! O how long Shall this bright hour delay? Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time, And bring the welcome day. Used With Tune: SONG 67 (Gibbons) Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Songs, 1707
