Why Do the Wealthy Wicked Boast?
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7453 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Why do the wealthy wicked boast Lyrics: 1. Why do the wealthy wicked boast,
And grow profanely bold?
The meanest portion of the just
Excels the sinner’s gold.
2. The wicked borrows of his friends,
But ne’er designs to pay;
The saint is merciful and lends,
Nor turns the poor away.
3. His alms with liberal heart he gives
Amongst the sons of need;
His memory to long ages lives
And blessèd is his seed.
4. His lips abhor to talk profane,
To slander or defraud;
His ready tongue declares to men
What he has learned of God.
5. The law and Gospel of the Lord
Deep in his heart abide;
Led by the Spirit and the Word,
His feet shall never slide.
6. When sinners fall, the righteous stand,
Preserved from every snare;
They shall possess the promised land
And dwell for ever there. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

Why Does Your Face, Ye Humble Souls
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7454 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Why does your face, ye humble souls,
Those mournful colors wear?
What doubts are these that waste your faith,
And nourish your despair?
2. What though your numerous sins exceed
The stars that fill the skies,
And aiming at th’eternal throne,
Like pointed mountains rise:
3. What though your mighty guilt beyond
The wide creation swell,
And has its cursed foundations laid
Low as the deeps of hell:
4. See here an endless ocean flows
Of never-failing grace;
Behold a dying Savior’s veins
The sacred flood increase.
5. It rises high, and drowns the hills,
Has neither shore nor bound:
Now, if we search to find our sins,
Our sins can ne’er be found.
6. Awake, our hearts, adore the grace
That buries all our faults;
And pard’ning blood, that swells above
Our follies and our thoughts. Languages: English Tune Title: ABERDEEN
Why Does Your Face, Ye Humble Souls
Why Should Our Tears in Sorrow Flow?
Author: William H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7460 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Why should our tears in sorrow flow Lyrics: 1. Why should our tears in sorrow flow
When God recalls His own;
And bids them leave a world of woe
For an immortal crown?
2. Is not e’en death a gain to those
Whose life to God was given?
Gladly to earth their eyes they close
To open them in Heaven.
3. Their toils are past, their work is done,
And they are fully blest;
They fought the fight, the victory won,
And entered into rest.
4. Then let our sorrows cease to flow;
God has recalled His own;
But let our hearts, in every woe,
Still say, Thy will be done. Languages: English Tune Title: GREEN HILL (Peace)
Why Should Our Tears in Sorrow Flow?
Wherefore Is It That Thou, O Lord?
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7473 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Wherefore is it that Thou, O Lord Lyrics: 1. Wherefore is it that Thou, O Lord,
Dost stand from us afar?
And wherefore hidest Thou Thyself,
When times so troublous are?
2. The wicked in his loftiness
Doth persecute the poor:
In these devices they have fram’d
Let them be taken sure.
3. The wicked of his heart’s desire
Doth talk with boasting great;
He blesseth him that’s covetous,
Whom yet the Lord doth hate.
4. The wicked, through his pride of face,
On God he doth not call;
And in the counsels of his heart
The Lord is not at all.
5. His ways they always grievous are;
Thy judgments from his sight
Removèd are: at all his foes
He puffeth with despight.
6. Within his heart he thus hath said,
I shall not movèd be;
And no adversity at all
Shall ever come to me.
7. His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit,
Is filled abundantly;
And underneath his tongue there is
Mischief and vanity.
8. He closely sits in villages;
He slays the innocent:
Against the poor that pass him by
His cruel eyes are bent.
9. He, lion-like, lurks in his den;
He waits the poor to take;
And when he draws him in his net,
His prey he doth him make.
10. Himself he humbleth very low,
He croucheth down withal,
That so a multitude of poor
May by his strong ones fall.
11. He thus hath said within his heart,
The Lord hath quite forgot;
He hides His countenance, and He
For ever sees it not.
12. O Lord, do Thou arise; O God,
Lift up Thine hand on high:
Put not the meek afflicted ones
Out of Thy memory.
13. Why is it that the wicked man
Thus doth the Lord despise?
Because that God will it require
He in his heart denies.
14. Thou hast it seen; for their mischief
And spite Thou wilt repay:
The poor commits himself to Thee;
Thou art the orphan’s stay.
15. The arm break of the wicked man,
And of the evil one;
Do Thou seek out his wickedness,
Until Thou findest none.
16. The Lord is king through ages all,
E’en to eternity;
The heathen people from His land
Are perished utterly.
17. O Lord, of those that humble are
Thou the desire didst hear;
Thou wilt prepare their heart, and Thou
To hear wilt bend Thine ear;
18. To judge the fatherless, and those
That are oppressèd sore;
That man, that is but sprung of earth,
May them oppress no more. Languages: English Tune Title: CAITHNESS
Wherefore Is It That Thou, O Lord?
Will God for Ever Cast Us Off?
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7477 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Will God for ever cast us off?
His wrath for ever smoke
Against the people of His love,
His little chosen flock?
2. Think of the tribes so dearly bought
With their Redeemer’s blood;
Nor let Thy Zion be forgot,
Where once Thy glory stood.
3. Lift up Thy feet and march in haste,
Aloud our ruin calls;
See what a wide and fearful waste
Is made within Thy walls.
4. Where once Thy churches prayed and sang,
Thy foes profanely roar;
Over Thy gates their ensigns hang,
Sad tokens of their power.
5. How are the seats of worship broke!
They tear the buildings down,
And he that deals the heaviest stroke
Procures the chief renown.
6. With flames they threaten to destroy
Thy children in their nest;
Come, let us burn at once, they cry,
The temple and the priest.
7. And still, to heighten our distress,
Thy presence is withdrawn;
Thy wonted signs of power and grace,
Thy power and grace are gone.
8. No prophet speaks to calm our woes,
But all the seers mourn;
There’s not a soul amongst us knows
The time of Thy return.
9. How long, eternal God, how long
Shall men of pride blaspheme?
Shall saints be made their endless song,
And bear immortal shame?
10. Canst Thou for ever sit and hear
Thine holy name profaned?
And still Thy jealousy forbear,
And still withhold Thine hand?
11. What strange deliverance hast Thou shown
In ages long before!
And now no other god we own,
No other god adore.
12. Thou didst divide the raging sea
By Thy resistless might,
To make Thy tribes a wondrous way,
And then secure their flight.
13. Is not the world of nature Thine,
The darkness and the day?
Didst Thou not bid the morning shine,
And mark the sun his way?
14. Hath not Thy power formed every coast,
And set the earth its bounds,
With summer’s heat, and winter’s frost,
In their perpetual rounds?
15. And shall the sons of earth and dust
That sacred power blaspheme?
Will not Thy hand that formed them first
Avenge Thine injured name?
16. Think on the covenant Thou hast made,
And all Thy words of love;
Nor let the birds of prey invade,
And vex Thy mourning dove.
17. Our foes would triumph in our blood,
And make our hope their jest;
Plead Thy own cause, Almighty God,
And give Thy children rest. Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO
Will God for Ever Cast Us Off?
What Is Our Calling's Glorious Hope?
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7502 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: What is our calling's glorious hope Lyrics: 1. What is our calling’s glorious hope,
But inward holiness?
For this to Jesus I look up;
I calmly wait for this.
2. I wait till He shall touch me clean,
Shall life and power impart;
Give me the faith that casts out sin,
And purifies the heart.
3. When Jesus makes my heart His home,
My sin shall all depart;
And lo! He saith, I quickly come,
To fill and rule thy heart.
4. Be it according to Thy Word;
Redeem me from all sin;
My heart would now receive Thee, Lord,
Come in, my Lord, come in! Languages: English Tune Title: LLANDAFF

With Reverence Let the Saints Appear
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7504 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. With reverence let the saints appear,
And bow before the Lord;
His high commands with reverence hear,
And tremble at His Word.
2. How terrible Thy glories be!
How bright Thine armies shine!
Where is the power that vies with Thee,
Or truth compared to Thine?
3. The northern pole and southern rest
On Thy supporting hand;
Darkness and day, from east to west,
Move round at Thy command.
4. Thy words the raging winds control,
And rule the boisterous deep;
Thou mak’st the sleeping billows roll,
The rolling billows sleep.
5. Heav’n, earth, and air, and sea, are Thine,
And the dark world of hell;
How did Thine arm in vengeance shine
When Egypt durst [did] rebel!
6. Justice and judgment are Thy throne,
Yet wondrous is Thy grace;
While truth and mercy, joined in one,
Invite us near Thy face. Languages: English Tune Title: WARWICK
With Reverence Let the Saints Appear
What Is the Thing of Greatest Price?
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7515 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: What is the thing of greatest price Lyrics: 1. What is the thing of greatest price,
The whole creation round?
That which was lost in Paradise,
That which in Christ is found:
2. The soul of man, Jehovah’s breath,
That keeps two worlds at strife:
Hell moves beneath to work its death,
Heav’n stoops to give it life.
3. God, to reclaim it, did not spare
His well-belovèd Son;
Jesus, to save it, deigned to bear
The sins of all in one.
4. The Holy Spirit sealed the plan,
And pledged the blood divine,
To ransom every soul of man;
That price was paid for mine.
5. And is this treasure borne below,
In earthen vessels frail?
Can none its utmost value know,
Till flesh and spirit fail?
6. Then let us gather round the cross,
That knowledge to obtain;
Not by the soul’s eternal loss;
But everlasting gain. Languages: English Tune Title: BURLINGTON
What Is the Thing of Greatest Price?
Within the Maddening Maze of Things
Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7527 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Within the maddening maze of things,
When tossed by storm and flood,
To one fixed trust my spirit clings;
I know that God is good!
2. No offering of my own I have,
Nor works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.
3. I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
4. And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar;
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
5. I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies. Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 67 (Gibbons)
Within the Maddening Maze of Things
With Joy We Hail the Sacred Day
Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7529 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. With joy we hail the sacred day,
Which God has called His own;
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at His throne.
2. Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair!
As here Thy servants throng
To breathe the humble, fervent prayer
And pour the grateful song.
3. Spirit of grace, O deign to dwell
Within Thy Church below!
Make her in holiness excel,
With pure devotion glow.
4. Let peace within her walls be found;
Let all her sons unite;
To spread with grateful zeal around
Her clear and shining light.
5. Great God, we hail the sacred day
Which Thou hast called Thine own;
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at Thy throne. Languages: English Tune Title: BROWN
