O thou in all thy might so far
Author: Frederick Hosmer, 1840-1929 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 O THOU in all thy might so far,
In all thy love so near,
Beyond the range of sun and star,
And yet beside us here.
2 What heart can comprehend thy name,
Or searching find thee out,
Who art within, a quickening flame,
A presence round about?
3 Yet though I know thee but in part,
I ask not, Lord, for more;
Enough for me to know thou art,
To love thee and adore.
4 And dearer than all things I know
Is childlike faith to me,
That makes the darkest way I go
An open path to thee.

I Am Not Worthy, Holy Lord
Author: Henry Williams Baker, (1821-1877) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 I am not worthy, holy Lord,
l That Thou should'st come to me;
Speak but the word: one gracious word
Can set the sinner free.
2 I am not worthy; cold and bare
The lodging of my soul;
How canst Thou deign to enter there?
Lord, speak, and make me whole.
3 I am not worthy; yet, my God,
How can I say Thee nay,
Thee who didst give Thy flesh and blood
My ransom-price to pay?
4 O come! in this sweet morning hour
Feed me with food divine,
And fill with all Thy love and power
This worthless heart of mine.
Amen.

I Am Not Worthy, Holy Lord
When Christ to Judgment Shall Descend
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. When Christ to judgment shall descend,
And saints surround their Lord,
He calls the nations to attend,
And hear His awful word.
2. “Not for the want of bullocks slain
Will I the world reprove;
Altars, and rites, and forms are vain,
Without the fire of love.
3. “And what have hypocrites to do
To bring their sacrifice?
They call My statutes just and true,
But deal in theft and lies.
4. Could you expect to ’scape My sight,
And sin without control?
But I shall bring your crimes to light,
With anguish in your soul.
5. Consider, ye that slight the Lord,
Before His wrath appear,
If once you fall beneath His sword,
There’s no deliverer there. Used With Tune: CROWLE Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Is There A World Of Bitter Woe?
Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Is there a world of bitter woe Lyrics: 1 Is there a world of bitter woe,
And never ending pain;
Where tears of deepest anguish flow
For ever—but in vain?
2 And it is written in the Word
Of God, who cannot lie,
That sinners who deny the Lord,
Must go there when they die?
3 O then, what more than madness reigns
Amongst our guilty race!
Love we to dwell in burning pains,
Beyond the reach of grace;
4 Where God shall bid His vengeance fall,
His terrors still increase;
And hope, that whispers peace to all,
Shall never whisper peace?
5 Dare we the word of truth despise,
The wrath of God defy?
And proudly scorning to be wise,
In sin and ruin lie?
6 Lord, teach my stubborn heart to feel
The wonders of Thy love;
Ere the last trumpet’s solemn peal
Sounds through the vault above;
7 O may I learn, while yet brief space
Thy mercy doth afford;
To trust the promise of Thy grace,
And live upon Thy Word:
8 So shall that voice which wakes the dead,
And tells of judgment near,
Which fills a guilty world with dread,
Be music to mine ear.
9 So shall I rest from sorrow free,
My fears and trials o’er;
So pass through life’s tempestuous sea
Safe to the happy shore. Used With Tune: CROWLE Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1831
Is There A World Of Bitter Woe?
The Powers Of Earth And Hell Combine
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The powers of earth and hell combine
With Jesus war to wage;
God laughs to scorn their mad design,
And foils their impious rage.
2 Vain are the brutal pains they spend
His purpose to defeat;
Their wrongs and insults only tend
His conquests to complete.
3 He triumphed on the accursèd tree,
He burst the guarded grave;
Then rose on high, by God’s decree,
The world to sway and save.
4 Kings of the earth, your monarch learn;
O kiss the Son of God;
Nor bid His golden scepter turn
Into an iron rod. Used With Tune: CROWLE Text Sources: The Spirit of the Psalms, 1834
The Powers Of Earth And Hell Combine
The Dwelling Place of God
Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: God dwells in Heaven: He rules above Lyrics: 1 God dwells in Heaven: He rules above,
In everlasting might,
Beyond where stars their courses move,
In uncreated light.
2 God dwells in hell: His vengeance there
Gleams through the black abode;
The realms of anguish and despair
Confess the present God.
3 God dwells on earth; and all around
We view His wondrous power;
His terrors in the thunder sound,
His mercies in the shower.
4 When man erects a house of prayer,
There God resides within,
To witness every feeling there,
And pardon every sin.
5 But most of all the Lord resides
Within a humble mind;
The worth that modest merit hides
His grace is sure to find.
6 By pious men He may be found,
And everywhere adored;
Where’er they tread is holy ground,
A temple to the Lord.
7 O, let me find Thee everywhere—
Around me, and within!
Be every day a day of prayer,
And pure from every sin. Used With Tune: CROWLE
The Dwelling Place of God
When Filthy Passions, Or Unjust
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When filthy passions, or unjust,
Professors’ minds control,
When men give up the reins to lust,
And interest sways the whole;
2 Or when they seek themselves to please,
Decline each thorny road,
Indulge their sloth, consult their ease,
And slight the fear of God.
3 The faith is vain such men profess,
It comes not from above;
The righteous man doth righteousness,
And true faith works by love.
4 Men’s actions with their minds will suit,
By them the heart is viewed,
A tree that bears corrupted fruit,
Cannot be callèd good.
5 The Christian seeks his brother’s good,
Sometimes beyond his own;
Or, if self interest will intrude,
It does not reign alone.
6 Help us, dear Lord, to honor Thee,
Let our good works abound:
Thou art that green, that faithful tree,
From Thee our fruit is found. Used With Tune: CROWLE Text Sources: Author unknown. Appeared in Sion's Melody by John Bailey (London: E. Justins, 1813)
When Filthy Passions, Or Unjust
Jesus, We Own Thy Saving Power
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we own Thy saving power,
And Thy victorious hand;
Hell’s legions tremble at Thy feet,
And fly at Thy command.
2 O’er souls, by passion’s uproar filled
With anarchy unknown,
The nobler powers, restored by Thee,
Ascend their peaceful throne.
3 No more they rend their clothing off,
No more their wounds repeat;
But gentle and composed they wait
Attentive at Thy feet.
4 O’er thousands more, where Satan rules,
May we such triumphs see;
And be their rescued souls and ours
Devoted, Lord, to Thee.
