Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold, Recall the wanderers to Thy fold. Unite those now who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given, By all Thy Church in earth and heaven. Amen. Used With Tune: WEIMAR

With All My Powers Of Heart And Tongue

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 201 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With all my powers of heart and tongue, I’ll praise my Maker in my song; Angels shall hear the notes I raise, Approve the song, and join the praise. 2 Angels that make Thy church their care Shall witness my devotions there, While holy zeal directs my eyes To Thy fair temple in the skies. 3 I’ll sing Thy truth and mercy, Lord, I’ll sing the wonders of Thy Word; Not all Thy works and names below So much Thy power and mercy show. 4 To God I cried when troubles rose; He heard me, and subdued my foes; He did my rising fears control, And strength diffused through all my soul. 5 The God of Heav’n maintains His state, Frowns on the proud, and scorns the great; But from His throne descends to see The sons of humble poverty. 6 Amidst a thousand snares I stand, Upheld and guarded by Thy hand, Thy words my fainting soul revive, And keep my dying faith alive. 7 Grace will complete what grace begins, To save from sorrows or from sins; The work that wisdom undertakes Eternal mercy ne’er forsakes.

And in their children's lot is shown How richly God can bless His own. 5 Then here will I and mine today A solemn covenant make and say: Though all the world forsake Thy Word, I and my house will serve the Lord.

The Gospel shows the Father's grace

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race: Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That man might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes Who made th'atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Saviour's righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release, And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the power of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad, And bids their hearts no more be sad: The heavy laden souls it cheers, And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its tidings learn, Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess, And praise the Lord our righteousness.
