It Is the Lord Our Savior's Hand
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. It is the Lord our Savior’s hand
Weakens our strength amidst the race;
Disease and death at His command
Arrest us, and cut short our days.
2. Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray,
Nor let our sun go down at noon;
Thy years are one eternal day,
And must Thy children die so soon?
3. Yet in the midst of death and grief
This thought our sorrow should assuage:
Our Father and our Savior live;
Christ is the same through every age.
4. ’Twas He this earth’s foundations laid;
Heav’n is the building of His hand;
This earth grows old, these heav’ns shall fade
And all be changed at His command.
5. The starry curtains of the sky,
Like garments, shall be laid aside;
But still Thy throne stands firm on high,
Thy Church for ever must abide.
6. Before Thy face Thy Church shall live,
And on Thy throne Thy children reign;
This dying world they shall survive,
And the dead saints be raised again. Used With Tune: RETURN (Squires) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
It Is the Lord Our Savior's Hand
Return, O Wanderer, Return
Author: William B. Collyer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 536 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Return, O wanderer, return,
And seek an injured Father’s face;
Those warm desires that in thee burn
Were kindled by reclaiming grace.
2. Return, O wanderer, return,
And seek a Father’s melting heart,
Whose pitying eyes thy grief discern,
Whose hand can heal thine inward smart.
3. Return, O wanderer, return,
He heard thy deep repentant sigh,
He saw thy softened spirit mourn
When no intruding ear was nigh.
4. Return, O wanderer, return,
Thy Savior bids thy spirit live;
Go to His bleeding feet, and learn
How freely Jesus can forgive.
5. Return, O wanderer, return,
And wipe away the falling tear;
’Tis God who says, No longer mourn,
’Tis mercy’s voice invites thee near. Used With Tune: RETURN (Squires) Text Sources: Hymns (London: 1812)
Return, O Wanderer, Return
Return to Bless My Waiting Eyes
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Return to bless my waiting eyes,
And cheer my mourning heart, O Lord!
Without Thee, all beneath the skies
No real pleasure can afford.
2. When Thy loved presence meets my sight,
It softens care, and sweetens toil;
The sun shines forth with double light,
The whole creation wears a smile.
3. Upon Thine arm of love I rest,
Thy gracious voice forbids my fear;
No storms disturb my peaceful breast,
No foes assault when Thou art near.
4. But ah! since Thou hast been away,
Nothing but trouble have I known;
And Satan marks me for his prey
Because he sees me left alone.
5. My sun is hid, my comforts lost,
My graces droop, my sins revive;
Distressed, dismayed, and tempest tossed,
My soul is only just alive!
6. Lord, hear my cry and come again!
Put all mine enemies to shame,
And let them see, ’tis not in vain
That I have trusted in Thy name. Used With Tune: RETURN (Squires) Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 31

The Thanksgiving
Author: George Herbert, 1593-1632 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: O King of Grief! how strange and true Lyrics: 1. O King of Grief! (how strange and true
The name, to Jesus only due!)
How, Savior, shall I grieve for Thee?
Who in all griefs preventest me.
2. Then let me vie with Thee in love,
And try who there shall conqueror prove,
Giv’st Thou me wealth? I will restore
All back unto Thee by the poor.
3. Giv’st Thou me honor? All shall see
The honor doth belong to Thee:
A bosom-friend? If false he prove
To Thee, I will tear thence his love.
4. Thee shall my music find: each string
Shall have his attribute to sing;
And every note accord in Thee,
To prove one God, one harmony.
5. Giv’st Thou me knowledge? It shall still
Search out Thy ways, Thy works, Thy will:
Yea, I will search Thy Book, nor move
Till I have found therein Thy love.
6. Thy love I will turn back on Thee:
O my dear Savior, victory!
Then for Thy passion, I for that
Will do—alas, I know not what! Used With Tune: RETURN (Squires) Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, by Charles Wesley, 1739, page 27-8
