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!

Uphold us as we go;

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 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!

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.

A large increase bestow,
That all who hear Thy message, Lord,
Its saving pow'r may know.

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.

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.

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]

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.

Joy of my soul! to Thee;
To earth Thy knowledge I impart,
As it is known to me.
2 Thou art the Fount of grace, I know,
And Spring so fall and free,
Whence saving health and goodness flow
Each day so bounteously.
3 Thou feedest us from year to year,
And constant dost abide:
When danger fills our hearts with fear,
With help art at our side.
4 With patience dost Thou ev'r abide,
Nor long Thine anger keep,
But castest all our sins aside
Into the ocean's deep.
5 Our deepest needs dost Thou supply,
Thou giv’st what lasts for aye,
Thou lead’st us to our home on high,
When hence we pass away.

A Cheerful trust maintain!

Thy portion will remain. Topics: Fourth Sunday in Lent; Seventh Sunday in Trinity; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Used With Tune: MORNINGTON
O Lord, I sing with mouth and heart
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.

Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength
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

Connect the Christian flock!

And fellowship of faith be crowned
With fellowship of love!
