Fools in Their Heart Believe and Say

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Fools in their heart believe and say, That all religion’s vain; There is no God that reigns on high, Or minds th’affairs of men. 2. From thoughts so dreadful and profane, Corrupt discourse proceeds; And in their impious hands are found Abominable deeds. 3. The Lord from His celestial throne Looked down on things below, To find the man that sought His grace, Or did His justice know. 4. By nature all are gone astray, Their practice all the same; There’s none that fears his maker’s hand; There’s none that loves His name. 5. Their tongues are used to speak deceit, Their slanders never cease; How swift to mischief are their feet, Nor know the paths of peace! 6. Such seeds of sin—that bitter root— In every heart are found; Nor can they bear diviner fruit Till grace refine the ground. Used With Tune: EVAN Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

All Things Which Live Below the Sky

Author: Edward John Brailsford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All things which live below the sky, Or move within the sea, Are creatures of the Lord most High, And brothers unto me. 2 I love to hear the robin sing, Perched on the highest bough; To see the rook with purple wing, Follow the shining plough. 3 I love to watch the swallow skim The river in his flight; To mark, when day is growing dim, The glowworm's sil'v'ry light. 4 The seagull whiter than the foam, The fish that dart beneath; The lowing cattle coming home; The goats upon the heath. 5 God taught the wren to build her nest, The lark to soar above, The hen to gather to her breast The offspring of her love. 6 Beneath his heaven there's room for all; He gives to all their meat; He sees the meanest sparrow fall Unnoticed in the street. 7 All-loving Father, King of kings, The helper of the weak, Make me a friend of helpless things, Defender of the weak.

O Blessèd Lord, What Hast Thou Done!

Author: Mary Peters Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O blessèd Lord, what hast Thou done Lyrics: 1. O blessèd Lord, what hast Thou done! How vast a ransom paid! Who could conceive God’s only Son Upon the altar laid! 2. Thy Father, in His perfect love, Did spare Thee from His side; And Thou did stoop to bear above, At such a cost Thy bride. 3. Lord, while our souls in faith repose Upon Thy precious blood, Peace like an even river flows, And mercy like a flood. 4. But boundless joy shall fill our hearts When gazing on Thy face, We fully see what faith imparts, And glory crowns Thy grace. 5. Unseen we love Thee, dear Thy name But when our eyes behold, With joyful wonder we’ll exclaim, The half hath not been told! 6. For Thou exceedest all the fame Our ears have ever heard: Happy are they who know Thy name, And trust Thy faithful Word! Used With Tune: EVAN
