Firm Was My Health

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals First Line: Firm was my health, my day was bright Lyrics: 1. Firm was my health, my day was bright, And I presumed ’twould ne’er be night; Fondly I said within my heart, Pleasure and peace shall ne’er depart. 2. But I forgot Thine arm was strong Which made my mountain stand so long; Soon as Thy face began to hide, My health was gone, my comforts died. 3. I cried aloud to Thee, my God, “What canst Thou profit by my blood? Deep in the dust can I declare Thy truth, or sing Thy goodness there? 4. Hear me, O God of grace, I said, And bring me from among the dead: Thy Word rebuked the pains I felt, Thy pardoning love removed my guilt. 5. My groans, and tears, and forms of woe Are turned to joy and praises now; I throw my sackcloth on the ground, And ease and gladness gird me round. 6. My tongue, the glory of my frame, Shall ne’er be silent of Thy name; Thy praise shall sound through earth and Heav’n, For sickness healed and sins forgiv’n.

Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 193 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will, Tumultuous passions all be still, Nor let a murmuring thought arise; His ways are just, his counsels wise. 2 In realms of cloudless light he dwells, Performs his work, the cause conceals; And though his footsteps are unknown, Judgment and truth support his throne. 3 In heaven and earth and air and seas He executes his firm decrees; And by his saints it stands confessed That what he does is ever best. 4 Wait, then, my soul, submissive wait, With reverence bow before his seat, And 'mid the terrors of his rod Trust in a wise and gracious God.

Awake, My Soul, Nor Slumbering Lie

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, nor slumbering lie, Amid the gloomy haunts of death; Perhaps the awful hour is nigh, Commissioned for my parting breath. 2 That awful hour will soon appear, Swift on the wings of time it flies, When all that pains or pleases here, Will vanish from my closing eyes. 3 Death calls my friends, my neighbors hence, And none resist the fatal dart; Continual warnings strike my sense, And shall they fail to reach my heart? 4 Shall gay amusements rise between, When scenes of horror spread around? Death’s pointed arrows fly unseen, But ah, how sure, how deep they wound! 5 Think, O my soul, how much depends, On the short period of a day; Shall time, which Heaven in mercy lends, Be negligently thrown away? 6 Thy remnant minutes strive to use, Awake! rouse every active power! And not in dreams or trifles lose, This little now! this precious hour! 7 Lord of my life, inspire my heart, With heavenly ardor, grace divine; Nor let Thy presence e’er depart, For strength, and life, and death are Thine. 8 O teach me the celestial skill, Each awful warning to improve! And while my days are shortening still, Prepare me for the joys above. 9 Ensure my nobler life on high, Life, from a dying Savior’s blood! Then, though my minutes swiftly fly, They bear me nearer to my God. Used With Tune: AMES Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

Lord, Thou Hast Called Thy Grace to Mind

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, Thou hast called Thy grace to mind, Thou hast reversed our heavy doom; So God forgave when Israel sinned, And brought His wandering captives home. 2. Thou hast begun to set us free, And made Thy fiercest wrath abate; Now let our hearts be turned to Thee, And Thy salvation be complete. 3. Revive our dying graces, Lord, And let Thy saints in Thee rejoice; Make known Thy truth, fulfill Thy word; We wait for praise to tune our voice. 4. We wait to hear what God will say; He’ll speak, and give His people peace; But let them run no more astray, Lest His returning wrath increase.

Thine, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone

Author: Ernest Lange Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone; Justice and truth before thee stand: Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne Mercy withholds thy lifted hand. 2 Each evening shows thy tender love, Each rising morn thy plenteous grace; Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move, Thy willing mercy flies apace. 3 To thy benign, indulgent care, Father, this light, this breath, we owe; And all we have, and all we are, From thee, great Source of being, flow. 4 Thrice Holy! thine the kingdom is, The power omnipotent is thine; And when created nature dies, Thy never-ceasing glories shine.
