When I Can Read My Title Clear

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,231 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I'll bid farewell to every fear And wipe my weeping eyes. And wipe my weeping eyes, And wipe my weeping eyes, I'll bid farewell to every fear And wipe my weeping eyes. And wipe my weeping eyes, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage And fiery darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan's rage And face a frowning world. And face a frowning world, And face a frowning world, Then I can smile at Satan's rage And face a frowning world. And face a frowning world, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come And storms of sorrow fall! May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all, My God, my heaven, my all, My God, my heaven, my all, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all, My God, my heaven, my all, My God, my heaven, my all. My God, my heaven, my all. 4. There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heav'nly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast,... Across my peaceful breast.

When Israel Was Going Forth (Psalm 114)

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: When Israel was going forth Lyrics: 1 When Israel was going forth from out of Egypt’s land, and Jacob’s house from foreign tongues they could not understand, 2 to be God’s holy dwelling place, God’s choice on Judah fell, and there as God’s dominion took God’s chosen Israel. 3 The sea beheld and fled away; the Jordan stopped its flow. The mountains skipped like rams; the hills like lambs skipped to and fro. 4 O sea, why did you run away? O Jordan, why turn tide? You mounts and hills, like rams and lambs, why leap on every side? 5 O tremble, earth, before the Lord; the God of Jacob fear; God made the rock a water pool, the stone a fountain clear.
