My God, how wonderful Thou art
Author: Rev. F. W. Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 344 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful Thou art,
Thy majesty how bright,
How beautiful Thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!
2 How dread are Thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord;
By prostrate spirits day and night
Incessantly adored!
3 How wonderful, how beautiful,
The sight of Thee must be,
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
And awful purity!
4 Oh, how I fear Thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears,
And worship Thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears!
4 Yet I may love Thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as Thou art,
For Thou hast stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
Amen. Used With Tune: [My God, how wonderful Thou art]

O thou who hast Thy servants taught
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who hast Thy servants taught,
That not by words alone,
But by the fruits of holiness,
The life of God is shown:
2 While in Thy house of prayer we meet,
And call Thee God and Lord,
Give us a heart to follow Thee,
Obedient to Thy word!
3 Through all the dangerous paths of life,
Uphold us as we go;
That with our lips, and in our lives,
Thy glory we may show. Topics: Worship General Petitions; Sundays in Lent; Easter Season, Sixth Sunday; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: LANCASTER

How shall the young secure their hearts
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 476 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 'Tis, like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these Thy servants, night and day,
Thy skill and power express.
4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Thy Word is everlasting truth:
How pure is every page!
That holy Book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age. Topics: Holy Ghost Works Regeneration; Word of God Used With Tune: LANCASTER
How shall the young secure their hearts
How helpless guilty nature lies
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!
The heart, unchanged, can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught beneath a power divine
The stubborn will subdue?
’Tis Thine, O Holy Spirit, Thine
To form the heart anew.
3 ’Tis Thine the passions to recall,
And upwards bid them rise,
To make the scales of error fall
From reason’s darkened eyes;
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
’Tis Thine alone to give.
5 O change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine!
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord, be Thine. Topics: Natural Depravity; Holy Ghost Works Regeneration; Regeneration Used With Tune: LANCASTER

Now That the Sun Is Beaming Bright
Deluded souls that dream of heaven
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 184 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Deluded souls that dream of heaven,
And make their empty boast
Of inward joys and sins forgiven,
While they are slaves to lust!
2 Vain are our fancies' airy flights,
If faith be cold and dead;
None but a living power unites
To Christ, the living Head;
3 A faith that changes all the heart,
A faith that works by love;
That bids all sinful joys depart,
And lifts the thoughts above.
4 Faith must obey our Father’s will,
As well as trust His grace:
A pardoning God requires us still
To perfect holiness. Topics: Faith Living and dead; Faith Works by Love Used With Tune: LANCASTER

See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 487 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See Israel's gentle Shepherd stand,
With all-engaging charms;
Hark, how He calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in His arms!
2 "Permit them to approach," He cries,
"Nor scorn their humble name:
It was to bless such souls as these,
The Lord of angels came."
3 We bring them, Lord, with grateful hearts,
And yield them up to Thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are Thine,
Thine let our offspring be!

Almighty God, Thy Word Is Sown
Author: J. Cawood Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy word is sown
Like seed upon the ground;
O let the dew of heav'n descend,
That blessings may abound.
2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;
May it take root in ev'ry heart
And grow by faith and love.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares,
Nor earthly wealth and joy,
Nor dread temptation's stormy blast
The rising plant destroy.
4 Where'er the Word of life is sown,
A large increase bestow,
That all who hear Thy message, Lord,
Its saving pow'r may know.
Amen. Topics: Close of Worship Used With Tune: MORNINGTON

Blest morning, whose first dawning rays
Through all the changing scenes of life
Author: Tate and Brady Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 474 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.
2 Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distressed,
From mine example comfort take,
And charm their griefs to rest.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
4 The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succour trust.
5 O make but trial of His love,
Experience will decide
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
6 Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then
Have nothing else to fear:
Make you His service your delight,
Your wants shall be His care. Topics: The Church Year Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; Providence Used With Tune: [Through all the changing scenes of life]

Come, let us join our friends above
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 345 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above,
That have obtained the prize,
And on the eagle wings of love
To joy celestial rise.
2 Let all the saints terrestrial sing,
With those to glory gone;
For all the servants of our King,
In earth and heaven, are one.
3 One family, we dwell in Him,
One Church above, beneath;
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death.
4 One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of His host has crossed the flood,
And part is crossing now.
5 E'en now by faith we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the blood-besprinkled bands
On the eternal shore.
6 Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide,
And when the word is given,
Bid the cold waves of death divide,
And land us all in heaven.
Amen.
