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]

How helpless guilty nature lies
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 232 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

The name of God I with a song
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 30 The name of God I with a song
most cheerfully will praise;
and I, in giving thanks to him,
his name will highly raise.
31 This to the Lord a sacrifice
more grateful far shall prove
than bullock, ox, or any beast
that hath both horn and hoof.
32 When this the humble men shall see,
it joy to them shall give:
all ye that after God do seek,
your heart shall ever live.
33 For God the poor hears, and will not
his prisoners contemn.
34 Let heaven, and earth, and sea, him praise,
and all that move in them.
35 For God will Judah’s cities build,
and he will Zion save,
that they may dwell therein, and it
in sure possession have.
36 And they that are his servants’ seed
inherit shall the same;
and they have their dwelling there
that love his blessed name. Scripture: Psalm 69:30-36 Used With Tune: LANCASTER

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 477 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
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!

"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!

Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength.
2 My fortress is the Lord,
my rock, and he that doth to me
deliverance afford:
my God, my strength, whom I will trust,
a buckler unto me,
the horn of my salvation sure,
and my high tower, is he.
3 Unto the Lord, who worthy is
of praises, will I cry;
and then shall I preserved be
safe from mine enemy.
4 The cords of death encompassed me,
sin's floods made me afraid;
5 bands of the grave were round me drawn,
death's snares were on me laid.
6 I in distress I called on the Lord,
cry to my God did I;
he from his temple heard my voice,
to his ears came my cry.
7 Earth as affrighted then did shake,
trembling upon it seized:
the hills’ foundations moved were,
because he was displeased.
8 Up from his nostrils came a smoke,
and from his mouth there came
devouring fire, and coals by it
were turned into flame.
9 He also bowed down the heavens,
and thence he did descend;
and thickest clouds of darkness did
under his feet attend.
10 And he upon a cherub rode,
and thereon he did fly;
yea, on the swift wings of the wind
his flight was from on high.
11 He darkness made his secret place:
about him, for his tent,
dark waters were, and thickest clouds
of the airy firmament.
12 And at the brightness of that light,
which was before his eye,
his thick clouds passed away, hailstones
and coals of fire did fly.
13 Jehovah also in the heavens
did thunder in his ire;
and there the Highest gave his voice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he his arrows sent abroad,
and them he scattered;
his lightnings also he shot out,
and them discomfited.
15 The waters’ channels then were seen,
the world’s foundations vast
at thy rebuke discovered were,
and at thy nostrils’ blast.
16 And from above the Lord sent down,
and took me from below;
from many waters he me drew,
which would me overflow.
17 He rescued me from my strong foes,
and such as did me hate;
because he saw that they for me
too strong were and too great.
18 They came upon me in the day
of my calamity;
but even then the Lord himself
a stay was unto me.
19 Unto a place of liberty
and room was hath me brought;
because he took delight in me,
he my deliverance wrought.
Scripture: Psalm 18:1-19 Used With Tune: LANCASTER
Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength
