When All Thy Mercies, O My God
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #343 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 22:22-30 First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ;
nor is the least a cheerful heart
that tastes those gifts with joy.
4 Through every period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue;
and after death, in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
5 Through all eternity to thee
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise!

by your strong hand.

and trees of life forever grow
with mercy crowned.

implanted in the soul;
your love shall be our strength and stay,
while ages roll.

and still the same!

To God the only wise,
Our Savior and our King,
Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.

His counsel, and' his care,
Preserves us safe from sin and death,
And every hurtful snare.
He will present our souls,
Unblemished and complete,
Before the glory of his face,
With joys divinely great.
Then all the chosen seed
Shall meet around the throne,
Shall bless the conduct of his grace,
And make his wonders known.
To our Redeemer, God,
Wisdom and power belongs,
Immortal crowns of majesty,
And everlasting songs.

Now let our mournful songs record
The dying sorrows of our Lord,
When he complained in tears and blood,
As one forsaken of his God.
The Jews beheld him thus forlorn,
And shake their heads, and laugh in scorn:
"He rescued others from the grave;
Now let him try himself to save.
"This is the man did once pretend
God was his Father and his Friend;
If God, the blessed, loved him so,
Why doth he fail to help him now?"
Barbarous people! cruel priests!
How they stood round like savage beasts!
Like lions gaping to devour,
When God had left him in their power.
They wound his head, his hands, his feet,
Till streams of blood each other meet;
By lot his garments they divide,
And mock the pangs in which he died.
But God, his Father, heard his cry;
Raised from the dead, he reigns on high,
The nations learn his righteousness,
And humble sinners taste his grace.

As one forsaken of his God.

And shake their heads and laugh in scorn;
"He rescued others from the grave;
"Now let him try himself to save.

"God was his father and his friend;
"If God the blessed lov'd him so,
"Why doth he fail to help him now?
4 Oh savage people! cruel priests!
How they stood round like raging beasts;
Like lions gaping to devour,
When God had left him in their power.
5 They wound his head, his hands, his feet,
Till streams of blood each other meet;
By lot his garments they divide,
And mock the pangs in which he died.
6 But God his father heard his cry;
Rais'd from the dead, he reigns on high;
The nations learn his righteousness,
And humble sinners taste his grace.

'Twas the commission of the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #525 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 22:28-29 Lyrics:
'Twas the commission of our Lord,
"Go teach the nations, and baptize:"
The nations have received the word
Since he ascended to the skies.
He sits upon th' eternal hills,
With grace and pardon in his hands;
And sends his cov'nant with the seals,
To bless the distant British lands.
"Repent, and be baptized," he saith,
For the remission of your sins:"
And thus our sense assists our faith,
And shows us what his gospel means.
Our souls he washes in his blood,
As water makes the body clean;
And the good Spirit from our God
Descends like purifying rain.
Thus we engage ourselves to thee,
And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;
O may the great eternal Three
In heav'n our solemn vows record!

O Perfect Life of Love

All, all, is finished now,
All that He left His throne above
To do for us below.
2 No work is left undone
Of all the Father willed;
His toil, His sorrows, one by one,
The Scriptures have fulfilled.
3 No pain that we can share
But He has felt its smart;
All forms of human grief and care
Have pierced that tender heart.
4 And on His thorn-crowned head
And on His sinless soul
Our sins in all their guilt were laid
That he might make us whole.
5 In perfect love He dies;
For me He dies, for me.
O all atoning Sacrifice,
I cling by faith to Thee.
6 In ev'ry time of need,
Before the judgment throne,
Thy work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead,
Thy merits, not mine own.
7 Yet work, O Lord, in me
As Thou for me hast wrought;
And let my love the answer be
To grace Thy love has brought.

Author: Watts Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLXXX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 22:28 First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics: 1 The mighty frame of glorious grace,
That brightest monument of praise
That e'er the God of love design'd,
Employs and fills my laboring mind.
2 Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song,
A burden for an angel's tongue:
When Gabriel sounds these awful things,
He tunes and summons all his strings.
3 Proclaim inimitable love:
Jesus, the Lord of worlds above,
Puts off the beams of bright array,
And veils the God in mortal clay.
4 He that distributes crowns and thrones
Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans:
The Prince of Life resigns his breath,
The King of Glory bows to death.
5 But see the wonders of his power,
He triumphs in his dying hour,
And, while by Satan's rage he fell,
He dash'd the rising hopes of hell.
6 Thus were the hosts of death subdu'd,
And sin was drown'd in Jesus's blood:
Thus he arose, and reigns above,
And conquers sinners by his love.
7 Who shall fulfil this boundless song?
The theme surmounts an Angel's tongue:
How low, how vain are mortal airs,
When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs! Topics: The Exaltation of the Prince of Peace: The Saviour of the World Languages: English

Glad was my heart to hear
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #100 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics:
Glad was my heart to hear
My old companions say,
Come,--in the House of God appear,
For 'tis an holy day.
Our willing feet shall stand
Within the temple-door,
While young and old in many a band
Shall throng the sacred floor.
Thither the tribes repair,
Where all are wont to meet,
And joyful in the House of Prayer
Bend at the Mercy-seat.
Pray for Jerusalem,
The city of our God;
The Lord from Heaven be kind to them
That love the dear abode.
Within these walls may peace
And harmony be found:
Zion, in all thy palaces,
Prosperity abound.
104
God scorns not humble things;
These, though the proud despise,
The children of the King of kings,
Are training for the skies.
May none who thus are taught,
From glory be cast down,
But all through faith and patience brought
To an eternal crown.
For friends and brethren dear,
Our prayer shall never cease,
Oft as they meet for worship here,
God send his people peace.
