Good Thou Art, and Good Thou Dost

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.8.7.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Good Thou art, and good Thou dost, Thy mercies reach to all, Chiefly those who on Thee trust, And for Thy mercy call; New they every morning are; As fathers when their children cry, Us Thou dost in pity spare, And all our wants supply. 2. Mercy o’er Thy works presides; Thy providence displayed Still preserves, and still provides For all Thy hands have made; Keeps, with most distinguished care, The man who on Thy love depends; Watches every numbered hair, And all his steps attends. 3. Who can sound the depths unknown Of Thy redeeming grace? Grace that gave Thine only Son To save a ruined race! Millions of transgressors poor Thou hast for Jesus’ sake forgiven, Made them of Thy favor sure, And snatched from hell to Heaven. 4. Millions more Thou ready art To save, and to forgive; Every soul and every heart Of man Thou wouldst receive: Father, now accept of mine, Which now, through Christ, I offer Thee; Tell me now, in love divine, That Thou hast pardoned me!

Who Can Worthily Commend

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.8.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who can worthily commend Thy love unsearchable? Love which made Thee condescend Our curse and death to feel! Thou, the one eternal God, Who didst Thyself our ransom pay, Hast with Thy own precious blood, Washed all our sins away. 2 By the Spirit of our Head Anointed priests and kings, Conquerors of the world we tread On all terrestrial things, Sit in heavenly places down, While yet we in the flesh remain, Now, partakers of Thy throne, Before Thy Father reign. 3 In Thy members here beneath The Intercessor prays; Here we in Thy Spirit breathe The quintessence of praise; Offer up our all to God, And God beholds, with gracious eyes, First the purchase of Thy blood, And then our sacrifice. 4 "Jesus, let Thy kingdom come," Inspired by Thee, we pray; Previous to the general doom, The everlasting day! Take possession of Thine own; And let us then our Savior see Glorious on Thy heav’nly throne, Thro’ all eternity.

Jesu, Sin-Atoning Lamb

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.8.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, sin-atoning Lamb, Thine utmost pity show; All the virtue of Thy name O let Thy rebels know! Us, by God and man abhorred, Into Thy kind protection take; Spare the guilty nation, Lord, For Thy own mercy’s sake. 2 Worst of all th’apostate race, Yet listen to our cry; Most unworthy of Thy grace, But without grace we die; Tophet is our just reward, Yet snatch us from the burning lake, Spare the guilty nation, Lord, For Thy own mercy’s sake. 3 Scandal of the Christian name, Which still we vainly bear, Sodom-like, our sin and shame We openly declare, Trample on Thy sacred Word, And cast Thy laws behind our back; Spare the guilty nation, Lord, For Thy own mercy’s sake. 4 Though Thy judgments are abroad, Let us Thy goodness prove, Save us, O all-gracious God, In honor of Thy love; Though Thy righteous wrath is stirred, Arising slow, the earth to shake, Spare the guilty nation, Lord, For Thy own mercy’s sake. 5 In our forty days reprieve Warn the rebellious race; Bid us turn, repent, and live To glorify Thy grace; O reverse the threatening word, And do not, do not vengeance take; Spare the guilty nation, Lord, For Thy own mercy’s sake. 6 O alarm the sleeping crowd And fill their souls with dread; Then avert the lowering cloud, Approaching o’er our head; Turn aside th’invading sword, And drive the alien armies back, Spare the guilty nation, Lord, For Thy own mercy’s sake.

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.8.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God of glorious majesty, Whose judgments are abroad, Pierce, and turn our hearts to Thee With sacred horror awed; All this drowsy land awake, And by the thunder of Thy power Shake, our inmost spirits shake, And let us sleep no more. 2 Rising in Thy dreadful might The wicked to rebuke, Thou hast with unwonted fright Our sleeping bodies shook; Earth did to her center quake, Convulsive pangs her bowels tore; Shake, our inmost spirits shake, And let us sleep no more. 3 Ere the threatened ruin come, A general terror dart, Send the keen conviction home To every thoughtless heart; Shake us out of Satan’s hands, Burst open every prison door, Rouse, and loose us from our bands, And bid us sin no more. 4 Jesus, Lord, to whom we cry, The true repentance give, Give us at Thy feet to lie, And tremble, and believe; On the Rock of Ages place Our souls, till all the wrath is o’er, Ground, and ’stablish us in grace, And bid us sin no more.

Righteous, Sin-Avenging God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.8.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Righteous, sin-avenging God, To Thee what shall we say? Dare we deprecate the rod, Or still for respite pray? Thou hast giv’n our sinful land A longer, and a longer space, But we still Thy love withstand, And mock Thee to Thy face. 2 Thou in danger’s darkest hour Didst on our side appear, Snatch us from the wasting power Of war and Satan near: Whom the winds and seas obey, Thou, Lord, Thy mighty arm didst show, Chase the alien hosts away, And stop th’invading foe. 3 Not our providence or sword Did us from ruin save, Our Deliverer is the Lord, Let Him the glory have: But alas, we have not feared Thy power, or rendered Thee Thy due, Have not honored, or revered A God we never knew. 4 Viler still, if that can be, We have been in Thy sight, Scorned to give the praise to Thee, And robbed Thee of Thy right, Wronged Thine interposing grace, Denied Thy providential care, Hardened as th’Egyptian race Thine utmost plague to dare. 5 What can our destruction stop, Or now reverse our doom? God the just must give us up, And let the ruin come: Lo! He whets His glittering sword, His hand doth hold of judgment take, Rises the almighty Lord A guilty land to shake! 6 O almighty Lord, we own Thine awful righteousness, Make in us Thy goodness known, Who all our sins confess, We who tremble at the rod, And meekly to the judgment bow, O remember us for good Who sue for mercy now!
