Father, I Long, I Faint To See
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, I long, I faint to see
The place of Thine abode;
I’d leave Thine earthly courts, and flee
Up to Thy seat, my God!
2 Here I behold Thy distant face,
And ’tis a pleasing sight;
But to abide in Thine embrace
Is infinite delight.
3 I’d part with all the joys of sense
To gaze upon Thy throne;
Pleasure springs fresh for ever thence,
Unspeakable, unknown.
4 There all the heav’nly hosts are seen,
In shining ranks they move,
And drink immortal vigor in
With wonder and with love.
5 Then at Thy feet with awful fear
Th’ adoring armies fall;
With joy they shrink to nothing there,
Before th’ eternal All.
6 There I would vie with all the host
In duty and in bliss;
While "less than nothing" I could boast,
And "vanity confess."
7 The more Thy glories strike mine eyes
The humbler I shall lie;
Thus while I sink, my joys shall rise
Unmeasurably high.

Thy Greatness, Lord
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Thy greatness, Lord, what thought can reach Lyrics: 1 Thy greatness, Lord, what thought can reach,
What mortal tongue can tell?
Thy throne is fixed, Thy power extends,
O’er Heaven and earth and hell.
2 Who can evade or who resist,
The vengeance of a God?
Thy wrath vindictive, once provoked,
Spreads terror all abroad.
3 The wide dominion and the power,
The sovereignty is Thine;
‘Tis Thine the universe to rule,
With majesty divine.
4 To Thee, by all the hosts of Heaven,
By all the human race,
Be everlasting honors given,
And universal praise. Used With Tune: MAITLAND Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton and Briggs,1818)
Thy Greatness, Lord
While Sinners Utter Boasting Words
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While sinners utter boasting words,
And glory in their shame;
The Lord, well pleased, an ear affords
To those who fear His name.
2 They often meet to seek His face,
And what they do or say,
Is noted in His book of grace,
Against another day.
3 For they, by faith, a day descry,
A joyfully expect,
When He, descending from the sky,
His jewels will collect.
4 Unnoticed now, because unknown,
A poor and suffering few;
He comes to claim them for His own,
And bring them forth to view.
5 With transport then, their Savior’s care
And favor they shall prove;
As tender parents guard and spare
The children of their love.
6 Assembled worlds will then discern
The saints alone are blest;
When wrath shall like an oven burn,
And vengeance strike the rest. Used With Tune: MAITLAND

My Savior, How Thy Soul Was Awed
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 My Savior, how Thy soul was awed,
When, hanging on the tree,
Thou criedst aloud, "My God, my God,"
Hast Thou forsaken Me?
2 When angry foes around Thee strove,
And faithless friends forsook;
And earth below, and Heaven above,
Wore one dark threatening look.
3 Beneath Thy cross, Lord, let me lie,
Thy bleeding love to view;
And weep, and watch, and pray that I
May ne’er those wounds renew.
4 Beneath Thy cross O let me lie,
And mark what Thou hast won,
And hear Thy last triumphant cry,
"’Tis done! The work is done!"
5 Lord, let my soul that triumph share;
I look to Thee to save.
Where is thy sting, O death? and where
Thy victory, O grave? Used With Tune: MAITLAND Text Sources: The Spirit of the Psalms, 1834

Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?
Author: Thomas Shepherd Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,269 hymnals First Line: Must Jesus bear the cross alone Lyrics:
1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone,
And there's a cross for me.
2 How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorr'wing here;
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.
3 The consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
4 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' piercèd feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat.
Amen. Topics: Cross of the believer Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Used With Tune: MAITLAND Text Sources: Other authors also
