O God, Be Merciful

Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, be merciful, Be merciful to me, For man with constant hate, Would fain my ruin see. My many enemies Against me proudly fight; To overwhelm my soul They watch from morn to night. 2. What time I am afraid I put my trust in Thee; In God I rest, and praise His Word, so rich and free; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 3. All day they wrest my words, Their thoughts are full of hate; They meet, they lurk, they watch, As for my soul they wait; Shall they by wickedness Escape Thy judgment right? O God of righteousness Destroy them in Thy might. 4. Thou knowest all my woes, O treasure Thou my tears; Are they not in Thy book, Where all my life appears? My foes shall backward turn When I appeal to Thee, For this I surely know, That God is still for me. 5. In God, the Lord, I rest, His word of grace I praise, His promise stands secure, Nor fear nor foe dismays; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 6. Upon me are Thy vows, O God, in whom I live; The sacrifice of praise To Thee I now will give; For Thou hast saved from death, From falling kept me free, That in the light of life My walk may be with Thee.

God, Who Created Me

Author: Henry C. Beeching Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God, who created me nimble and light of limb, In three elements free, to run, to ride, to swim; Not when the sense is dim, but now from the heart of joy, I would remember Him; take the thanks of a boy. 2. Jesus, King and Lord, whose are my foes to fight, Gird me with Thy sword, swift and sharp and bright. Thee would I serve if I might, and conquer if I can: From day-dawn to night, take the strength of a man. 3. Spirit of love and truth, breathing in grosser clay, The light and flame of youth, delight of men in the fray, Wisdom in strength’s decay; from pain, strife, wrong to be free This best gift I pray, take my spirit to Thee.

Thy kingdom come, O God

Author: Lewis Hensley (1824-1905) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God, thy rule, O Christ, begin; break with thine iron rod the tyrannies of sin. 2 Where is thy reign of peace and purity and love? When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time that war shall be no more, and lust, oppression, crime shall flee thy face before? 4 We pray thee, Lord, arise, and come in thy great might; revive our longing eyes, which languish for thy sight. 5 Men scorn thy sacred name, and wolves devour thy fold; by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 O'er lands both near and far thick darkness broodeth yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise, and never set!

One Thousand-Million Souls

Author: L. H. Wilson Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: One thousand-million souls! Lyrics: 1 One thousand-million souls! In deep and dark despair, They lie in speechless woe, In wan and weary care. No God, no Christ, no hope In rayless gloom they grope, And dying, without hope, And dying without hope. 2 ’Mid China’s peopled plains, Or Greenland’s frozen snow, Where India’s temple fanes In glittering splendors glow— On many an ocean isle, ’Mid nature’s sweetest smile, One night of horror reigns, One night of horror reigns. 3 One thousand-million souls, As hopeless wanderers die, No gleam of light appears Along their darkened sky. No Christ to them made known, No blood which doth atone, For sins of deepest dye, For sins of deepest dye. 4 And must they die unsought? Die in their voiceless grief? Die, ’mid their woes untaught? Die like the withered leaf? And in their hour of need Shall none give willing heed Or send the craved relief, Or send the craved relief? 5 No, no, it must not be— Rise, sluggish Church of God, The Savior calls to thee: "Thro’ all the earth abroad, Go, ere the years are flown, And there My love make known, Wherever man hath trod, Wherever man hath trod."
