Author: Watts Appears in 223 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Communion with God; Communion with Christ Desired; Sin and sorrow laid before God; Sorrow laid before God First Line: O that I knew the secret place Lyrics: 1 O that I knew the secret place Where I might find my God! I'd spread my wants before his face, And pour my woes abroad. 2 I'd tell him how my sins arise, What sorrows I sustain; How grace decays, and comfort dies, And leaves my heart in pain. 3 He knows what arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God; I'd plead for his own mercy's sake, And for my Savior's blood. 4 My God will pity my complaints, And heal my broken bones; He takes the meaning of his saints, The language of their groans. 5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress, And banish every fear; He calls thee to his throne of grace, To spread thy sorrows there. Scripture: Job 23:3-4 Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Sermons

Praise ye, praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 106 Used With Tune: NOTTINGHAM
