Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 83 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores, the almighty Three, the eternal One; nature and grace with all their powers confess the infinite unknown. 2 Thy voice produced the sea and spheres, bade the waves roar, the planets shine; but nothing like thyself appears through all these spacious works of thine. 3 Still restless nature dies and grows; from change to change the creatures run: thy being no succession knows, and all thy vast designs are one. 4 A glance of thine runs through the globe. rules the bright worlds and moves their frame; of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe. thy ministers are living flame. 5 How shall polluted mortals dare to sing thy glory or thy grace? Beneath thy feet we lie afar, and see but shadows of thy face. 6 Who can behold the blazing light? Who can approach consuming flame? None but thy wisdom knows thy might, none but thy word can speak thy name. Topics: Creation Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:4-8 Used With Tune: BRESLAU

O Lord, how many Miseries

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: I. O Lord, how many Miseries Assault and discompose my Peace; The Path that leads to SION'S Gate Is full of Thorns, and very streight. II. How hard it is for Flesh and Blood To seek the everlasting Good; I know not where to turn my Face, But, Christ! to thy redeeming Grace. III. My Heart has never been dismay'd, Whene'er to thee it look'd for Aid; No Mortal yet was ever lost, Who put in CHRIST alone his Trust. IV. That thou art God, as well as Man, Lord, thy redeeming Pow'r makes plain; No greater Wonder has been heard, Than this, that God in Flesh appear'd. V. He sav'd us by his Death and Tomb, From Sin, and from the Wrath to come: My Jesu, Lord and God alone! What Name is sweeter than thy own? VI. No Grief can ever be so sore, But thy Salvation cheers us more; No Pain so raging but thy Name Can still asswage and heal the same. Vii. Nay, though my Flesh and Heart shou'd fail, Thy Presence, Lord! will yet prevail; Enjoying thee, and thy free Love, I share the Bliss of Saints Above. VIII. Thine would I be in Soul and Mind, And leave Sin, Death, and Hell behind; Nor can I better fix my Trust, Than in the God of whom I boast. IX. Thou never cast forsake thy Child, That by thy Grace is reconcil'd; Thou art the Shepherd of my soul, That ever keeps me sound and whole. Par the Second: X. Thou art my Comfort and Renown, My Treasure and eternal Crown; No Tongue can tell, no Voice can sing What Joy the Name of Christ doth bring. XI. He that has Faith and Charity, Can by Experience join with me; I'd make this bold Assertion good, And dare to seal it with my Blood. XII. Were there no Joy in God for me, 'Twere better I should never be; For he that has not CHRIST within, Is dead in Trespasses and Sin. XIII. My Soul's fond Bridegroom and Delight; Thou Pearl, above all others bright, In thee I justly more rejoice, Than in the World's most glitt'ring Toys. XIV. As often as I think on thee, My Heart for Joy doth leap in me; When e'er I fix in thee my Hope, I find a Comfort bears me up. XV. When in my Pain I pray and sing, My Heart is quite another Thing; Thy Spirit witnesses, that this Is but the Fore-taste of thy Bliss. XVI. Therefore while Life remains with me, I'll bear the Cross and follow thee: To Thee direct this Heart of mine; Let it to Nothing else incline, XVII. And aid me by thy mighty Grace, With Joy to run my Christian Race; Help me to conquer Flesh and Blood, And make my Christian Warfare good. XVIII. Preserve my Faith from Error free, That I may live and die in Thee; My Saviour, grant me my Desire, Let me be Thine when I expire.

A time to watch, a time to pray

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A time to watch, a time to pray, a day of wonders is today: the saddest, yet the gladdest too, that earth or heaven ever knew. 2 The saddest, for our Saviour bore his death, that we might die no more: the agony, the scourge, the fear, the crown of thorns, the cross, the spear. 3 And yet the gladdest, for today our load of sin was borne away: and hopes of joy that never dies hang on our Saviour's sacrifice. 4 O Saviour, how we bless your name! Yours is the glory, ours the shame; by all the pain your love endured let all our many sins be cured.
