O for a closer walk with God
But, wroth with thine anointed, thou
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 38 But, wroth with thine anointed, thou
renounced and loathed him hast;
39 his covenant made void, his crown
to earth profaned cast.
40 His hedges all hast broke down,
his strong-holds down hast torn.
41 He is a spoil to passers-by,
to neighbours all a scorn.
42 Thou hast set up his foes’ right hand;
made all his enemies glad:
43 turned his sword’s edge, and him to stand
in battle hast not made.
44 His glory thou hast made to cease,
his throne to ground down cast;
45 thou shortened hast his days of youth,
with shame him covered hast.
46 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself?
for ever, in thine ire?
and shall thine indignation hot
burn like unto a fire?
47 Remember, Lord, how short a time
I shall on earth remain:
O wherefore is it so that thou
hast made all men in vain?
48 What man is he that liveth here,
and death shall never see?
Or from the power of the grave
what man his soul shall free?
49 Thy former loving-kindnesses,
O Lord, where be they now?
Those which in truth and faithfulness
to David sworn hast thou?
50 Mind, Lord, thy servant’s sad reproach;
I in my bosom bear
the scornings of the people all,
who strong and mighty are:
51 and that thine enemies, O Lord,
have cast reproach upon,
have cast reproach upon the steps
of thine anointed one.
52 All blessing to the Lord our God
let be ascribed then:
for evermore so let it be.
Amen, yea, and amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:38-52 Used With Tune: CHESHIRE
But, wroth with thine anointed, thou
My God, I love Thee; not because
Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby;
Nor because they, who love Thee not,
Must burn eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me
Upon the Cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace;
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony;
E'en death itself--and all for one
Who was Thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ!
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Nor of escaping hell;
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught;
Not seeking a reward;
But, as Thyself hast lovéd me,
O ever loving Lord!
6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing;
Solely because Thou art my God,
And my eternal King. Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Fifth Sunday; Good Friday; Fourth Sunday after Trinity; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: CHESHIRE

He Reigns — Th' Almighty Reigns Supreme
Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: He reigns—th’ Almighty reigns supreme Lyrics: 1 He reigns—th’Almighty reigns supreme
Ye humble saints rejoice:
Nations attend with awe, and hear
The thunder of His voice.
2 Dominions, thrones, and mighty powers
Lie prostrate at His feet:
Each seraph lays his glittering crown
Before His awful seat.
3 Ten thousand shining servants wait
His orders to fulfill:
As lightning swift they fly to save,
And fly as swift to kill.
4 Earth trembles at one look of His,
And mighty seas retire:
Touched by His hand, the mountains smoke,
And pour down liquid fire.
5 Great as His power, so great His grace,
For mercy guards His throne:
By mercy more than by His wrath
He chooses to be known.
6 Lord, may Thy terrors fill my soul
With sacred awe of Thee;
So shall Thy power, and boundless grace,
My constant refuge be. Used With Tune: CHESHIRE Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)

Lord, Who May Dwell Within Your House
How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
Shall it for ever be?
O how long shall it be that thou
wilt hide thy face from me?
2 How long take counsel in my soul,
still sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
shall be mine enemy?
3 O Lord my God, consider well,
and answer to me make:
mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
of death me overtake.
4 Lest that my enemy should say,
against him I prevail;
and those that trouble me rejoice,
when I am moved and fail.
5 But I have all my confidence
upon thy mercy set;
my heart within me shall rejoice
in thy salvation great.
6 Unto Jehovah then will I
sing praises cheerfully,
because he hath his bounty shown
to me abundantly.
Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: CHESHIRE
How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
Woe to the Men on Earth Who Dwell
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Woe to the men on earth who dwell,
Nor dread the Almighty’s frown,
When God doth all His wrath reveal,
And shower His judgments down!
2. Sinners, expect those heaviest showers,
To meet your God prepare;
For, lo! the seventh angel pours
His phial in the air.
3. Lo! from their seats the mountains leap,
The mountains are not found;
Transported far into the deep,
And in the ocean drowned.
4. Who then shall live, and face the throne,
And face the Judge severe?
When heaven and earth are fled and gone,
O where shall I appear?
5. Now, only now, against that hour
We may a place provide;
Beyond the grave, beyond the power
Of hell, our spirits hide:
6. Firm in the all destroying shock,
May view the final scene;
For, lo! the everlasting Rock
Is cleft to take us in. Used With Tune: CHESHIRE Text Sources: Hymns Occasioned by the Earthquake, March 8, 1750, second edition, 1756
Woe to the Men on Earth Who Dwell
The Saviour comes! no outward pomp
Author: William Robertson, d. 1743 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Saviour comes! no outward pomp
Bespeaks His presence nigh;
No earthly beauty shines in Him
To draw the carnal eye.
2 Rejected and despised of men,
Behold a Man of woe!
And grief His close companion still
Through all His life below!
3 Yet all the griefs He felt were ours,
Ours were the woes He bore:
Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul,
With bitter anguish tore.
4 We held Him as condemned of heaven,
An outcast from His God;
While for our sins He groaned, He bled,
Beneath His Father's rod.
5 His sacred Blood hath washed our souls
From sin's polluting stain;
His stripes have healed us, and His Death
Revived our souls again.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
In ruin’s fatal road:
On Him were our transgressions laid;
He bore the mighty load.
7 He died to bear the guilt of men,
That sin might be forgiven:
He lives to bless them and defend,
And plead their cause in heaven. Topics: Passion Week; Lent, Sixth Sunday; Passion Week Scripture: Isaiah 53 Used With Tune: CHESHIRE
The Saviour comes! no outward pomp
Save Me, O God, the Swelling Floods
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Save me, O God, the swelling floods
Break in upon my soul;
I sink, and sorrows o’er my head
Like mighty waters roll.
2. I cry till all my voice be gone,
In tears I waste the day:
My God, behold my longing eyes,
And shorten Thy delay.
3. They hate my soul without a cause,
And still their number grows
More than the hairs around my head,
And mighty are my foes.
4. ’Twas then I paid that dreadful debt
That men could never pay,
And gave those honors to Thy law
Which sinners took away.
5. Thus in the great Messiah’s name,
The royal prophet mourns;
Thus he awakes our hearts to grief,
And gives us joy by turns.
6. Now shall the saints rejoice, and find
Salvation in My name;
For I have borne their heavy load
Of sorrow, pain, and shame.
7. Grief, like a garment, clothed Me round,
And sackcloth was My dress,
While I procured for naked souls
A robe of righteousness.
8. Amongst My brethren and the Jews
I like a stranger stood,
And bore their vile reproach, to bring
The Gentiles near to God.
9. I came in sinful mortals’ stead,
To do My Father’s will;
Yet when I cleansed My Father’s house,
They scandalized My zeal.
10. My fasting and My holy groans
Were made the drunkard’s song;
But God, from His celestial throne,
Heard My complaining tongue.
11. He saved Me from the dreadful deep,
Nor let My soul be drowned;
He raised and fixed My sinking feet
On well-established ground.
12. ’Twas in a most accepted hour
My prayer arose on high;
And for My sake my God shall hear
The dying sinner’s cry. Used With Tune: CHESHIRE Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
