The Wickedness of Man, and the Majesty of God; or Practical Atheism exposed

Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God; Attributes of God First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics: 1 When man grows bold in sin, My heart within me cries, "He hath no faith of God within, "Nor fear before his eyes. 2 [He walks awhile conceal'd In a self-flattering dream, Till his dark crimes, at once reveal'd, Expose his hateful name.] 3 His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banish'd from his soul, And leaves no goodness there. 4 He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil; He sets his heart, and hand, and head To practise all that's ill. 5 But ther's a dreadful God, Tho' men renounce his fear; His justice, hid behind the cloud, Shall one great day appear. 6 His truth transcends the sky, In heaven his mercies dwell; Deep as the sea his judgments lie, His anger burns to hell. 7 How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! Oh never let my soul remove From underneath his wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7

Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds; Vast and unsearchable thy ways, Vast and immortal be thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 145

O love of God, how strong and true!

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Love Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true! Eternal and yet ever new; Above all price, and still unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought. 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. 3 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. 4 O love of God, our shield and stay, Through all the perils of our way; Eternal love, in thee we rest, For ever safe, for ever blest.
