Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death, to rest with God.

When Quiet In My House I Sit

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When quiet in my house I sit, Thy book be my companion still; My joy Thy sayings to repeat, Talk o'er the records of Thy will, And search the oracles divine, Till every heart-felt word be mine. 2 O may the gracious words divine Subject of all my converse be; So will the Lord his follower join, And walk and talk himself with me. So shall my heart his presence prove, And burn with everlasting love. 3 Oft as I lay me down to rest, O may the reconciling word Sweetly compose my weary breast; While on the bosom of my Lord I sink in blissful dreams away, And visions of eternal day. 4 Rising to sing my Saviour's praise, Thee may I publish all day long; And let thy precious word of grace Flow from my heart, and fill my tongue; Fill all my life with purest love, And join me to the Church above.

My peace they daily discompose, But my defense and hope is God. 2. Tired with the burdens of the day, To Thee I raised an evening cry: Thou heard’st when I began to pray, And Thine almighty help was nigh. 3. Supported by Thine heav’nly aid, I laid me down, and slept secure: Not death should make my heart afraid, Though I should wake and rise no more. 4. But God sustained me all the night: Salvation doth to God belong; He raised my head to see the light, And make His praise my morning song.

When God, Provoked With Daring Crimes

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When God, provoked with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. 2 His word can raise the springs again, And make the withered mountains green; Send showery blessings from the skies, And harvests in the desert rise. 3 Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th’oppressed and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. 4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in, A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barbarous hands. 6 Their captive sons, exposed to scorn, Wander unpitied and forlorn: The country lies unfenced, untilled, And desolation spreads the field. 7 Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again His dreadful hand He turns; Again He makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live. 8 The righteous with a joyful sense, Admire the works of Providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore. 9 How few with pious care record These wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just and kind. Used With Tune: HOLBURN HILL Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is one way, and only one, Out of our gloom, and sin, and care, To that fair land where shines no sun Because the face of God is there. 2 There is one truth, the truth of God, That Christ came down from heaven to show, One life that His redeeming blood Has won for all His saints below. 3 The lore, from Philip once concealed, To us is fully known in Christ; In Him the Father is revealed, And all our longing is sufficed. 4 And still unwavering faith holds sure The words that James wrote sternly down; Except we labour and endure, We cannot win the heavenly crown. 5 O Way divine, through gloom and strife, Bring us Thy Father's face to see; O heavenly Truth, O precious Life, At last, at last, to rest in Thee.

Turned by Thy grace, I look within

Author: Rev. E. A. Bradley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Turned by Thy grace, I look within My restless soul, nor knew till now The stains I bear, the wounds my sin Has scarred upon my Saviour's brow. 2 The sight afflicts my guilty soul: My conscience cries and spares me not. Grief's bitter waves now o'er me roll: Tears flow that cannot cleanse one spot. 3 O God, my God, I see my sin: I crucified the Lord of love. Wormwood and gall I gave to Him; And sorely grieved God's holy Dove. 4 Turned back and won by grace so free, My sin confessed I'll ne'er repeat: Converted now, my aim shall be To tread the prints of Christ's dear feet. 5 The wrong my sin has done, confessed, Return four-fold shall now make right. My soul shall then by God be blest Through Christ's atonement in His sight. 6 Forgiveness for the wrongs done me, With my whole heart I freely give; 'Tis only so that there can be Pardon from Christ and grace to live. 7 My sin thus seen, wept o'er confest, Turned from and loathed as paining Thee, As Thou forgiv'st, O Saviour blest, Is pardoned, cleansed! My soul is free. Amen. Topics: Parochial Missions; Penitence Used With Tune: [Turned by Thy grace, I look within]

On Thee, Great Ruler Of The Skies

Author: James Merrick, 1720-1769 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Thee, great Ruler of the skies, On Thee our steadfast hope relies; When hostile powers against us join, What aid so present, Lord, as Thine? 2 By Thee secured, no fears we own, Though earth, convulsed, beneath us groan, Though tempests o’er her surface sweep, And whirl her hills into the deep— 3 Though, armed with rage, before our eyes That deep in all its horrors rise, While, as the tumult spreads around The mountains tremble at the sound. 4 Behold fair Sion’s blest retreat, Where God has fixed His awful seat; Whose walls to Heaven’s almighty Lord His chosen residence afford. 5 No tempests here licentious stray, But soft along their level way The sacred streams their course maintain, And crown with health their happy plain. 6 God, ever watchful, ever nigh, Bids storms around her harmless fly; His early care each foe withstands, And backward turns the yielding bands.

God Gives His Mercies to Be Spent

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God gives His mercies to be spent; Your hoard will do your soul no good. Gold is a blessing only lent, Repaid by giving others food. 2. The world’s esteem is but a bribe, To buy their peace you sell your own; The slave of a vainglorious tribe, Who hate you while they make you known. 3. The joy that vain amusements give, O! sad conclusion that it brings! The honey of a crowded hive, Defended by a thousand stings. 4. ’Tis thus the world rewards the fools That live upon her treacherous smiles: She leads them, blindfold, by her rules, And ruins all whom she beguiles. 5. God knows the thousands who go down From pleasure into endless woe; And with a long despairing groan Blaspheme their Maker as they go. 6. Oh fearful thought! be timely wise; Delight but in a Savior’s charms, And God shall take you to the skies, Embraced in everlasting arms.

Together, Lord, We Come to Thee

Author: Edwin Gilbert, 1848-1926 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Together, Lord, we come to Thee, And in Thy presence bow the head; A band of hard-pressed folk are we, Who find life’s pathway rough to tread. 2. We bring our week of life to Thee, All soiled, and worn, and marred with sin; Thine eyes of holy love can see Each tempted life without, within. 3. We bring our bitterness of heart, Our hate and want of charity; We fain would choose the better part, And learn to love, dear Lord, like Thee. 4. We bring our care for daily bread, The fear that turns the heart to stone; We cry to Thee; lift up our head And show us we are not alone. 5. We bring the faith that over all Though faint and feeble, flickers still; Increase it, Lord, that at Thy call We may our daily task fulfill. 6. Lord, make us pure; enrich our life With heavenly love for evermore; Give us Thy strength to face the strife, And serve Thee better than before. Used With Tune: HOLBORN HILL
