Think, Mighty God, on Feeble Man

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 71 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Think, mighty God, on feeble man; How few his hours! how short his span! Short from the cradle to the grave Who can secure his vital breath Against the bold demands of death, With skill to fly, or power to save? 2. Lord, shall it be for ever said, The race of man was only made For sickness, sorrow, and the dust? Are not Thy servants day by day Sent to their graves, and turned to clay? Lord, where’s Thy kindness to the just? 3. Hast Thou not promised to Thy Son And all His seed a heav’nly crown? But flesh and sense indulge despair: For ever blessèd be the Lord, That faith can read His holy Word, And find a resurrection there. 4. For ever blessèd be the Lord, Who gives His saints a long reward For all their toil, reproach, and pain: Let all below and all above Join to proclaim Thy wondrous love, And each repeat their loud Amen.

Victim Divine, thy grace we claim

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Victim Divine, thy grace we claim While thus thy precious death we show: Once offered up, a spotless Lamb, In thy great temple here below, Thou didst for all mankind atone, And standest now before the throne. 2 Thou standest in the holiest place, As now for guilty sinners slain; Thy Blood of sprinkling speaks and prays All-prevalent for helpless man; Thy Blood is still our ransom found, And spreads salvation all around. A-men. 3 We need not now go to heaven To bring the long-sought Saviour down; Thou art to all already given, Thou dost e'en now thy banquet crown: To every faithful soul appear, And show thy real presence here. A-men. Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Used With Tune: ST. CHRYSOSTOM

O Bethlem Town Tonight Is Cold

Author: Gordon Bottomley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O Bethlem town tonight is cold, And Bethlem town is very dark; Down tumbling street, on upland wold Stirs neither wife nor patriarch; No travelers the inn doors seek Where still the gust stirred signboards creak. 2. The dull, dumb shepherds of the heath Are warm beside their wives in bed; The mildewed manger chills beneath The wet thatch gaping overhead; The ancient stars are tired and dim, And no new star announces Him. 3. Or is it that we cannot hear The least of spiritual songs, And know not some strange joy more near Than too familiar angel throngs? Of Him the greater is our need Whose life has dwindled to a creed. 4. Because we know the Lord once woke Unto a far off people’s pain, We dream, a numb bewildered folk, That He might think to come again And save, through new enlightening cares, A world more sorrowful than theirs.

Great God, the Heav'ns' Well Ordered Frame

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Great God, the heav’ns’ well ordered frame Declares the glories of Thy name: There Thy rich works of wonder shine; A thousand starry beauties there A thousand radiant marks appear Of boundless power and skill divine. 2. From night to day, from day to night, The dawning and the dying light Lectures of heav’nly wisdom read; With silent eloquence they raise Our thoughts to our creator’s praise, And neither sound nor language need. 3. Yet their divine instructions run Far as the journeys of the sun, And every nation knows their voice: The sun, like some young bridegroom dressed Breaks from the chambers of the east, Rolls round, and makes the earth rejoice. 4. Where’er he spreads his beams abroad He smiles and speaks his maker God; All nature joins to show Thy praise: Thus God in every creature shines; Fair is the book of nature’s lines, But fairer is Thy book of grace.
