O children, hither do ye come
O for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 721 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink
Though pressed by many a foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt.
4 Lord, give me such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
I’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Scripture: Mark 9:24 Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

Amid the Splendors of Thy State

With the soft radiance of the moon
Among a thousand stars.

Thy boundless power proclaims,
And in melodious accent, speaks
The goodness of Thy names.

Our solemn awe excite;
But the sweet charms of sovereign grace
O’erwhelm us with delight.
4. Sinai, in clouds, and smoke, and fire,
Thunders Thy dreadful name;
But Sion sings, in melting notes,
The honors of the Lamb.
5. In all Thy doctrine and commands,
Thy counsels and designs,
In every work Thy hands have framed,
Thy love supremely shines.
6. Angels and men the news proclaim,
Through earth and Heaven above,

Amid the Splendors of Thy State
Lord, We Have Heard Thy Works of Old
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, we have heard Thy works of old,
Thy works of power and grace,
When to our ears our fathers told
The wonder of their days.
2. How Thou didst built Thy churches here,
And make Thy Gospel known;
Amongst them did Thine arm appear,
Thy light and glory shone.
3. In God they boasted all the day,
And in a cheerful throng
Did thousands meet to praise and pray,
And grace was all their song.
4. But now our souls are seized with shame,
Confusion fills our face,
To hear the enemy blaspheme,
And fools reproach Thy grace.
5. Yet we have not forgot our God,
Nor falsely dealt with Heaven,
Nor have our steps declined the road
Of duty Thou hast giv’n.
6. Though dragons all around us roar
With their destructive breath,
And Thine own hand has bruised us sore
Hard by the gates of death.
7. We are exposed all day to die
As martyrs for Thy cause,
As sheep for slaughter bound we lie
By sharp and bloody laws.
8. Awake, arise, Almighty Lord,
Why sleeps Thy wonted grace?
Why should we look like men abhorred
Or banished from Thy face?
9. Wilt Thou for ever cast us off
And still neglect our cries?
For ever hide Thine heav’nly love
From our afflicted eyes?
10. Down to the dust our soul is bowed,
And dies upon the ground;
Rise for our help, rebuke the proud,
And all their powers confound.
11. Redeem us from perpetual shame,
Our Savior and our God;
We plead the honors of Thy name,
The merits of Thy blood. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Lord, We Have Heard Thy Works of Old
There Is a Book That All May Read
Author: John Keble Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1. There is a Book that all may read,
[or There is a Book, who runs may read,]
Which heav’nly truth imparts,
And all the lore its scholars need,
Pure eyes and Christian hearts.
2. The works of God above, below,
Within us and around,
Are pages in that Book, to show
How God Himself is found.
3. The glorious sky, embracing all,
Is like the Maker’s love,
Wherewith encompassed, great and small
In peace and order move.
4. The moon above, the Church below,
A wondrous race they run;
But each their radiance, all their glow,
Each borrows of its Sun.
5. The Savior lends the light and heat
That crown His holy hill;
The saints, like stars, around His seat
Perform their courses still.
6. The saints above are stars in Heaven—
What are the saints on earth?
Like trees they stand whom God has given
Our Eden’s happy birth.
7. Faith is their fixed, unswerving root,
Hope their unfading flower,
Fair deeds of charity their fruit,
The glory of their bower.
8. The dew of Heav’n is like Thy grace,
It steals in silence down;
But where it lights, the favored place
By richest fruits is known.
9. One name, above all glorious names,
With its ten thousand tongues
The everlasting sea proclaims,
Echoing angelic songs.
10. The raging fire, the roaring wind,
Thy boundless power display,
But in the gentler breeze we find
The Spirit’s viewless way.
11. Two worlds are ours: ’tis only sin
Forbids us to descry
The mystic heaven and earth within,
Plain as the sea and sky.
12. Thou, who hast giv’n me eyes to see,
And love this sight so fair,
Give me a heart to find out Thee,
And read Thee everywhere. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

A tongue in every flower,
Which tells, O Lord, the wondrous tale
Of Thy almighty power.
2. The birds, that rise on quivering wing,
Proclaim their maker’s praise,
And all the mingling sounds of spring
To Thee an anthem raise.
3. Shall I be mute, great God, alone
’Midst nature’s loud acclaim?
Shall not my heart, with answering tone,
Breathe forth Thy holy name?
4. All nature’s debt is small to mine;
Nature shall cease to be;
Thou gavest proof of love divine,
Immortal life to me. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

Why Do the Wealthy Wicked Boast?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals First Line: Why do the wealthy wicked boast Lyrics: 1. Why do the wealthy wicked boast,
And grow profanely bold?
The meanest portion of the just
Excels the sinner’s gold.
2. The wicked borrows of his friends,
But ne’er designs to pay;
The saint is merciful and lends,
Nor turns the poor away.
3. His alms with liberal heart he gives
Amongst the sons of need;
His memory to long ages lives
And blessèd is his seed.
4. His lips abhor to talk profane,
To slander or defraud;
His ready tongue declares to men
What he has learned of God.
5. The law and Gospel of the Lord
Deep in his heart abide;
Led by the Spirit and the Word,
His feet shall never slide.
6. When sinners fall, the righteous stand,
Preserved from every snare;
They shall possess the promised land
And dwell for ever there. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
