O Father, Hear My Morning Prayer

Author: Frances A. Percy Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Matching Instances: 15 Lyrics: 1. O Father, hear my morning prayer, Thine aid impart to me, That I may make my life today Acceptable to Thee. 2. May this desire my spirit rule, And, as the moments fly, Something of good be born in me, Something of evil die. 3. Some grace that seeks my heart to win, With shining victory meet; Some sin that strives for mastery Find overthrow complete. 4. That so throughout the coming day The hours shall carry me A little farther from the world, A little nearer Thee.

No Rod Of Vengeance Jesus Takes

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 No rod of vengeance Jesus takes Like that which Moses bore; His peaceful scepter shows He came To save and to restore. 2 Laden with woes the sons of men To this Physician fly: He lends an ear to their complaints And looks with pitying eye. 3 The powerful word He speaks, and lo! The eyes long closed in night Lift up their lids, with sweet surprise, To hail the joyous light. 4 New life the withered cripple feels Diffused through every part: His couch and crutch he now forgets, And leaps like any hart. A word the deaf restores; the dumb With ease their tongues employ; Amazed, and pleased at their own voice, They sing and shout for joy. 5 Beholdat once the lepers cleansed, Touched by the Savior’s hand: Palsy, and fever, and each plague Depart at His command. 6 The winds and waves, midst all their rage, His powerful voice obey: Devils His awful presence flee, Nor dare they longer stay. 7 Repeat my soul, these wondrous acts, And all His honors spread: Tell how His voice unbarred the tomb, And waked the silent dead. 8 Jesus, my Savior and my Lord, How bright Thy glories shine! Thy works all praise exceed, and speak Thy character divine. Used With Tune: EVERSLEY Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)
