We give you, God, immortal praise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: In Melody and Songs #95 (2014) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: We give you, God, immortal praise! Pure truth and mercy are your ways; wonders of grace to you belong; we’ll tell your mercies in our song. Give to the Lord of lords renown, the King of kings wears glory’s crown; your mercies ever shall endure, when lords and kings are known no more. You built the earth, you spread the sky, and fixed the starry lights on high; wonders of grace to you belong; we’ll count your mercies in our song. You give the sun its morning light, you bid the moon direct the night; your mercies ever shall endure, when suns and moons shall shine no more. You sent your Son with power to save from guilt and darkness, and the grave; wonders of grace to you belong; we’ll tell your mercies in our song. Through this tired world Christ guides our feet, and leads us to your heavenly seat; your mercies ever shall endure, when this tired world shall be no more.

O Love of God, How Strong and True

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #338 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true, eternal and yet ever new, uncomprehended and unbought, beyond all knowledge and all thought! O love of God, how deep and great, far deeper than our deepest hate, self-fed, self-kindled, like the light, changeless, eternal, infinite! 2 O wide embracing, wondrous love, we read thee in the sky above; we read thee in the earth below, in seas that swell and streams that flow. We read thee best in him who came to bear for us the cross of shame, sent by the Father from on high our life to live, our death to die. 3 We read thy pow'r to bless and save e'en in the darkness of the grave; still more in resurrection light we read the fullness of thy might. O love of God, our shield, our stay, thro' all the perils of our way; eternal love, in thee we rest, forever safe, forever blest!

Should Famine O'er The Mourning Field

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11388 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Should famine o’er the mourning field Lyrics: 1 Should famine o’er the mourning field Extend her desolating reign, Nor spring her blooming beauties yield, Nor autumn swell the foodful grain. Should lowing herds and bleating sheep Around their famished master die; And hope itself despairing weep, While life deplores its last supply: 2 Amid the dark, and deathful scene, If I can say, "The Lord is mine," The joy shall triumph o’er the pain, And glory dawn, though life decline. The God of my salvation lives, My nobler life He will sustain; His Word immortal vigor gives, Nor shall my glorious hopes be vain. 3 Thy presence, Lord, can cheer my heart, Though every earthly comfort die; Thy smile can bid my pains depart, And raise my sacred pleasures high. O let me hear Thy blissful voice, Inspiring life and joys divine! The barren desert shall rejoice, ’Tis paradise, if Thou art mine. Languages: English Tune Title: MERTHYR TYDFIL

Sinners, Obey The Gracious Call

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11474 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sinners, obey the gracious call, Unto the Lord your God return, The dire occasion of your fall— Your foolishness of folly mourn. Sin only hath your ruin been; In humble words your grief express, Turn to the Lord: Your shameful sin, The burden of your soul, confess. 2 God of all power, and truth, and grace, All our iniquity remove, Spare and accept a fallen race, God of all power, and truth, and love, Take all, take all our sins away, Nor guilt, nor power, nor being have, Forgive us now, Thine arm display, Thine own for Jesus’ sake receive. 3 So will we render Thee the praise, With joyful lips and hearts renewed, Present Thee all our sinless days, A living sacrifice to God. So will we trust in man no more, No more to man for succor fly, The works of our own hands adore, Or seek ourselves to justify. 4 Not by an arm of flesh, but Thine, We look from sin to be set free; O Love, O Righteousness divine, The helpless all find help in Thee. "Surely in me," your God replies, “The fatherless shall mercy find, Whoe’er on Me for help relies, Shall know the Savior of mankind. 5 "I (for my Son hath died to seal Their peace, and all My wrath remove) I will their sin-sick spirits heal, And freely the backsliders love. I will My sovereign art display, To perfect health their soul restore, And take their bent to sin away, And lift them up to fall no more. 6 "In blessings will I then come down, And water them with gracious dew, And all My former mercies crown, And every pardoned soul renew. Israel shall as the lily grow, As chaste, as beautiful, and white, Yet striking deep his roots below, And towering as the cedar’s height. 7 "His branching arms he wide shall spread, And flourish in eternal bloom— Fair as the olive’s verdant shade, Fragrant as Lebanon’s perfume. Whoe’er beneath his shadow dwell, Shall as the putrid corn revive, A mortal quickening virtue feel, And sink to rise, and die to live. 8 "Their boughs with fruit ambrosial crowned, As Lebanon’s thick-clustering vine, Shall spread their odors all around, Grateful to human taste, and Mine. Ephraim, my pleasant child, shall say, ‘With idols what have I to do? I cannot sin: get hence away, Vain world! I cannot stoop to you.’ 9 ‘God, only God hath all my heart, My vile idolatries are o’er, I cannot now from God depart, For, born of God, I sin no more.’ Whoe’er to this high prize aspire, And long My utmost grace to prove, I heard, and marked their heart’s desire, And I will perfect them in love. 10 "Beneath My love’s almighty shade, O Israel, sit, and rest secure, On Me thy quiet soul be stayed, Till pure as I thy God am pure. Surely I will My people save; Who on My faithful word depend Their fruit to holiness shall have, And glorious all to Heaven ascend." Languages: English Tune Title: MERTHYR TYDFIL
