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.

How Blest Are They Who, Fearing God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who, fearing God, from sin restrain their feet, who will not with the wicked stand, who shun the scorner's seat. 2 How blest are they who make God's law their treasure and delight, and meditate upon that word with gladness day and night. 3 Their lives are nourished like a tree set by the river's side; its leaf is green, its fruit is sure, so all their works abide. 4 The wicked, like the driven chaff, are blown across the land; they shall not gather with the just, nor in the judgment stand. 5 The Lord will guard the righteous well; their way to him is known; the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown.

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.

Are All the Foes of Sion Fools?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals First Line: Are all the foes of Sion fools Lyrics: 1 Are all the foes of Sion fools, Who thus devour her saints? Do they not know her Savior rules, And pities her complaints? 2 They shall be seized with sad surprise; For God’s revenging arm Scatters the bones of them that rise To do His children harm. 3 In vain the sons of Satan boast Of armies in array; When God has first despised their host They fall an easy prey. 4 O for a word from Zion’s king, Her captives to restore! Jacob with all his tribes shall sing, And Judah weep no more. Used With Tune: SONG 67 (Gibbons) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright, with rev'rence and with fear. Though dust and ashes in your sight, we may, we must draw near. 2 We perish if we cease from prayer; oh, grant us pow'r to pray. And when to meet you we prepare, Lord, meet us on our way. 3 Give deep humility; the sense of godly sorrow give; a strong desire, with confidence, to hear your voice and live; 4 Faith in the only sacrifice that can for sin atone; to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes on Christ, on Christ alone. 5 Give these, and then your will be done; thus strengthened with all might, we, through your Spirit and your Son, shall pray, and pray aright.
