O Happy They Who Know The Lord
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 81 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O happy they who know the Lord,
With whom He deigns to dwell!
He feeds and cheers them by His Word,
His arm supports them well.
2 To them, in each distressing hour,
His throne of grace is near;
And when they plead His love and power,
He stands engaged to hear.
3 He helped His saints in ancient days
Who trusted in His name;
And we can witness, to His praise,
His love is still the same.
4 Wandering in sin, our souls He found,
And bid us seek His face;
Gave us to hear the Gospel sound,
And taste the Gospel grace.
5 Oft in His house His glory shines
Before our wondering eyes;
We wish not, then, for golden mines,
Or aught beneath the skies.
6 His presence sweetens all our cares,
And makes our burdens light;
A word from Him dispels our fears,
And gilds the gloom of night.
7 Lord, we expect to suffer here,
Nor would we dare repine;
But give us, still, to find Thee near;
And own us, still, for Thine.
8 Let us enjoy, and highly prize
These tokens of Thy love;
Till Thou shalt bid our spirits rise,
To worship Thee above. Used With Tune: BALLERMA Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779) Book 2
O Happy They Who Know The Lord
Now, from the altar of our hearts

Now, from the altar of our hearts
Take comfort, Christians, when your friends
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take comfort, Christians, when your friends
in Jesus fall asleep;
their better being never ends;
why then dejected weep?
2 Why inconsolable, as those
to whom no hope is giv’n?
Death is the messenger of peace,
and calls the soul to heav’n.
3 As Jesus dy'd, and rose again
victorious from the dead;
so his disciples rise, and reign
with their triumphant Head.
4 The time draws nigh, when from the clouds
Christ shall with shouts descend,
and the last trumpet’s awful voice
the heavens and earth shall rend.
5 Then they who live shall changed be,
and they who sleep shall wake;
the graves shall yield their ancient charge,
and earth’s foundations shake.
6 The saints of God, from death set free,
with joy shall mount on high;
the heav’nly hosts with praises loud
shall meet them in the sky,
7 Together to their Father’s house
with joyful hearts they go;
and dwell for ever with the Lord,
beyond the reach of woe.
8 A few short years of evil past,
we reach the happy shore,
where death-divided friends at last
shall meet, to part no more. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Used With Tune: BALLERMA
Take comfort, Christians, when your friends
Thus I Resolved Before The Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus I resolved before the Lord,
"Now will I watch my tongue;
Lest I let slip one sinful word,
Or do my neighbor wrong."
2 And if I’m e’er constrained to stay
With men of lives profane,
I’ll set a double guard that day,
Nor let my talk be vain.
3 I’ll scarce allow my lips to speak
The pious thoughts I feel,
Lest scoffers should th’ occasion take
To mock my holy zeal.
4 Yet if some proper hour appear,
I’ll not be overawed,
But let the scoffing sinners hear
That we can speak for God. Used With Tune: BALLERMA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Ye men and angels, witness now
Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 233 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye men and angels, witness now,
Before the Lord we speak;
To Him we make our solemn vow,
A vow we may not break:
2 That long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we'll yield;
Nor from His cause will we depart,
Or ever quit the field.
3 We trust not in our unaided strength,
But on His grace rely;
May He, with our returning wants,
All needful help supply.
4 Lord, guide our doubtful feet aright,
And keep us in Thy ways;
And while we turn our vows to prayers,
Turn Thou our prayers to praise. Topics: The Catechism Confirmation Used With Tune: BALERMA

Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: PE THE SEVENTEETH PART
129 Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful,
my soul them keeps with care.
130 The entrance of thy words gives light,
makes wise who simple are.
131 My mouth I also opened have,
and panted earnestly,
for after thy commandments I
have longed exceedingly.
132 Look on me, Lord, and merciful
do thou unto me prove,
as thou art wont to do to those
thy name who truly love.
133 O let my footsteps in thy word
aright still ordered be:
let no iniquity obtain
dominion over me.
134 From man’s oppression save thou me;
so keep thy laws I will.
135 Thy face make on thy servant shine;
teach me thy statutes still.
136 Rivers of waters from mine eyes
ran down, because I saw
that wicked men go on in sin,
and do not keep thy law. Scripture: Psalm 119:129-136 Used With Tune: BALLERMA
Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful
