Come, let us to the Lord our God

Author: John Morison Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the Lord our God With contrite hearts return; Our God is gracious, nor will leave The desolate to mourn. 2 His voice commands the tempest forth, And stills the stormy wave; His arm, though it be strong to smite, Is also strong to save. 3 Our hearts, if God we seek to know, Shall know him and rejoice; His coming like the morn shall be, Like morning songs his voice. 4 As dew upon the tender herb, Diffusing fragrance round; As showers that usher in the spring, And cheer the thirsty ground; 5 So shall his presence bless our souls, And shed a joyful light; That hallowed morn shall chase away The sorrows of the night.

Come, thou Desire of all thy saints!

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 195 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Desire of all thy saints! Our humble strains attend, While with our praises and complaints, Low at thy feet we bend. 2 Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine, And fill thy dwellings here, Till life, and love, and joy divine, A heaven on earth appear. 3 Show us some token of thy love, Our fainting hopes to raise; And pour thy blessing from above, To aid our feeble praise. 4 Then shall our hearts enraptured say, "Come, great Redeemer! come, And bring the bright, the glorious day, That calls thy children home."

When, as returns this solemn day

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, as returns this solemn day, Man comes to meet his God, What rites, what honors shall he pay? How spread his praise abroad? 2 From marble domes and gilded spires Shall clouds of incense rise? And gems, and gold, and garlands deck The costly sacrifice? 3 Vain, sinful man! creation's Lord Thy offerings well may spare; But give thy heart, and thou shalt find Thy God will hear thy prayer.

Author: Sir Edward Denny, Bart., 1796-1889 Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart, Star of the coming day, Arise, and with Thy morning beams Chase all our griefs away! 2 Come, blessed Lord, let every shore And answering island sing The praises of Thy royal name, And own Thee as their King. 3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now To the bright world above, Break forth in sweetest strains of joy, In memory of Thy love. 4 Jesus, Thy fair creation groans, The air, the earth, the sea, In unison with human hearts, And calls aloud for Thee. 5 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits Of grace and peace divine; Be Thine the crown of glory now, The palm of victory Thine!

In Anger, Lord, Rebuke Me Not

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In anger, Lord, rebuke me not; Withdraw the dreadful storm; Nor let Thy fury grow so hot Against a feeble worm. 2. My soul’s bowed down with heavy cares, My flesh with pain oppressed; My couch is witness to my tears, My tears forbid my rest. 3. Sorrow and pain wear out my days; I waste the night with cries, Counting the minutes as they pass, Till the slow morning rise. 4. Shall I be still tormented more? Mine eye consumed with grief? How long, my God, how long before Thine hand afford relief? 5. He hears when dust and ashes speak, He pities all our groans; He saves us for His mercy’s sake, And heals our broken bones. 6. The virtue of His sov’reign Word Restores our fainting breath; For silent graves praise not the Lord, Nor is He known in death. Used With Tune: MANOAH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

My heart be daily nearer Thee, From sin be daily freed. 2. Each day let Thy supporting might My weakness still embrace; My darkness vanish in Thy light, Thy life my death efface. 3. In Thy bright beams which on me fall, Fade every evil thought: That I am nothing, Thou art all, I would be daily taught. 4. More of Thy glory let me see, Thou holy, wise and true! I would Thy living image be, In joy and sorrow, too. 5. Fill me with gladness from above, Hold me by strength divine; Lord, make the glow of Thy great love Through my whole being shine. 6. Make this poor self grow less and less, Be Thou my life and aim; O make me daily through Thy grace, More meet to bear Thy name!

How condescending and how kind

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 193 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God's eternal son! Our misery reached His heavenly mind, And pity brought Him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was His blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 3 Now, though He reigns exalted high, His love is still as great: Well He remembers Calvary, Nor should His saints forget. 4 Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus' dying love: Hard is the heart that never feels One soft affection move. 5 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we His death record, And with our joy for pardoned guilt, Mourn that we pierced the Lord. Amen. Topics: Christ Praise to; Christ Sympathy of; Lord's Supper; Praise To Christ; Sympathy Of Christ Used With Tune: MANOAH
