As Gathered in Thy Precious Name

Author: Douglas Russell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. As gathered in Thy precious name, This table we surround, Thy death, Lord Jesus, to proclaim, O may our praise abound. 2. We give what from Thee we receive, For all we have is Thine— O may each heart with joy believe, And echo Thine is mine! 3. Grace, grace it was that brought Thee down; Love shone in all Thy ways; Through death Thine is the Victor’s crown, And Thine the endless praise. 4. We, here, in silence, or in song, Together worship Thee; Before our God we shall ere long Give praise eternally. 5. Lord Jesus Christ, Thou comest soon— Today Thy death we show; In light, eclipsing sun at noon, Its mystery we shall know. Used With Tune: DUBLIN (Smith)

My soul with expectation doth

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 My soul with expectation doth depend on God indeed: my strength and my salvation do from him alone proceed. 2 He only my salvation is, and my strong rock is he: he only is my sure defence; much moved I shall not be. 3 How long rush ye upon a man, and him to slay seek all? To crush hime like a tottering fence, and as a bowing wall? 4 Only to cast him down they plot, i in lies they take delight; and while they with the mouth do bless, they curse with inward spite. 5 Only on God do thou, my soul still patiently attend; my expectation and my hope on him alone depend. 6 He only my salvation is, and my strong rock is he; he only is my sure defence: I shall not moved be. 7 In God my glory placed is, and my salvation sure; in God the rock is of my strength, my refuge most secure. 8 Ye people, place your confidence in him continually; before him pour ye out your heart, God is our refuge high. 9 Surely mean men are vanity, and great men are a lie, in balance laid, they wholly are more light than vanity. 10 Do ye not in oppression trust, in robbery be not vain; set not your hearts when increased is your gain. 11 God hath it spoken once to me, yea, this I heard again, that power to Almighty God alone doth appertain. 12 Yea, mercy also unto thee belongs, O Lord, alone: for thou according to his work rewardest every one.

O may we come before Thy throne, And find acceptance there! 5 O Christ, be Thou our present joy, Our future great reward; Our only glory may it be To glory in the Lord! Amen.

Oft Have I Sat In Secret Sighs

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Oft have I sat in secret sighs To feel my flesh decay; Then groaned aloud with frighted eyes, To view the tottering clay. 2 But I forbid my sorrows now, Nor dares the flesh complain; Diseases bring their profits, too; The joy o’ercomes the pain. 3 My cheerful soul now all the day Sits waiting here and sings; Looks thro’ ruins of her clay, And practices her wings. 4 Faith almost changes into sight, While from afar she spies Her fair inheritance, in light Above created skies. 5 Had but the prison walls been strong And firm, without a flaw, In darkness she had dwelt too long And less of glory saw. 6 But now the everlasting hills Through every chink appear, And something of the joy she feels While she’s a prisoner here. 7 Bright Heaven rushes sweetly in At all the gaping flaws; Of endless bliss are visions seen; And native air she draws. 8 O may these walls stand tottering still, The breaches never close, If I must here in darkness dwell, And all this glory lose! 9 O rather let this flesh decay; The ruins wider grow, Till, glad to see th’enlargèd way, I stretch my pinions through.

To render thanks unto the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To render thanks unto the Lord it is a comely thing, and to thy name, O thou Most High, due praise aloud to sing: 2 thy loving-kindness to show forth when shines the morning light; and to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure every night. 3 upon a ten-stringed instrument, and on the psaltery, upon the harp with solemn sound and grave sweet melody. 4 For thou, Lord, by thy mighty deeds hast gladness to me brought; and I will triumph in the works which by thy hands are wrought. 5 How great and wondrous, Lord, thy works! thy thought how deep it is! 6 A brutish man discerneth not, fools understand not this. 7 When even like unto the grass springs up the wicked race, and workers of iniquity do flourish all apace; 'Tis that cut off and quite destroyed they may for ever be: 8 but thou, O Lord, art throned on high, unto eternity. 9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, thine enemies perish shall; the workers of iniquity shall be dispersed all. 10 But like the unicorn's, my horn exalted is by thee: anointed also with fresh oil I am abundantly. 11 Mine eyes shall also my desire see on mine enemies; mine ears shall of the wicked hear, that do against me rise. 12 But like the palm-tree flourishing shall be the righteous one; he shall like to the cedar grow that is in Lebanon. 13 Those that within the house of God are planted by his grace, they shall grow up, and flourish all in our God’s holy place. 14 And in old age, when others fade, they fruit still forth shall bring; they shall be fat and full of sap, and aye be flourishing; 15 to show that upright is the Lord: he is a rock to me; and he from all unrighteousness is altogether free.

Though perfect eloquence adorn'd

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Though perfect eloquence adorn'd my sweet persuading tongue, though I could speak in higher strains than ever angel sung; 2 though prophecy my soul inspir'd, and made all myst’ries plain: yet, were I void of Christian love, these gifts were all in vain. 3 Nay, though my faith with boundless pow’r ev’n mountains could remove, I still am nothing, if I’m void of charity and love. 4 Although with lib’ral hand I gave my goods the poor to feed, nay, gave my body to the flames, still fruitless were the deed. 5 Love suffers long; love envies not; but love is ever kind; she never boasteth of herself, nor proudly lifts the mind. 6 Love harbours no suspicious thought, is patient to the bad; griev'd when she hears of sins and crimes, and in the truth is glad. 7 Love no unseemly carriage shows, nor selfishly confin'd; she glows with social tenderness, and feels for all mankind. 8 Love beareth much, much she believes, and still she hopes the best; love meekly suffers many a wrong, though sore with hardship press'd. 9 Love still shall hold an endless reign in earth and heav’n above, when tongues shall cease, and prophets fail, and ev’ry gift but love. 10 Here all our gifts imperfect are; but better days draw nigh, when perfect light shall pour its rays, and all those shadows fly. 11 Like children here we speak and think, amus'd with childish toys; but when our pow’rs their manhood reach, we’ll scorn our present joys. 12 Now dark and dim, as through a glass, are God and truth beheld; then shall we see as face to face, and God shall be unvail'd. 13 Faith, Hope, and Love, now dwell on earth, and earth by them is blest; but Faith and Hope must yield to Love, of all the graces best. 14 Hope shall to full fruition rise, and Faith be sight above: these are the means, but this the end; for saints for ever love.
