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.

O Thou,Who Know'st What Is In Man

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Thou, who know’st what is in man Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who know’st what is in man, Who searchest out the reins and heart, Me, Jesu, to myself explain, A ray of heavenly light impart; Impart Thyself, Thou real light, And manifest my nature’s night. 2 Cause me, O God, myself to know, The depth of wickedness within, Show me, my inmost substance show, Th’exceeding sinfulness of sin: Such power belongs to Thee alone; Show me that sin and I are one. 3 Senseless alike of sin and Thee, My unawakened soul remains Fast bound in sin, and misery; I slumber on, nor feel my chains, Nor taste nor see how good Thou art, For still the veil is on my heart. 4 Oh! Might my heart at last relent, And feel the guilty mountain-load. Oh! That Thy powerful Word might rent The veil, and let me into God; The glories of Thy face display, The brightness of eternal day! 5 I know the terms: I cannot see Thy blissful face, and live—in sin: A flaming sword preserves the tree Of life, lest self should enter in; It keeps out self, and every way It turns, the man of sin to slay. 6 Be it according to Thy Word, Ready to meet my doom I am. Oh! Let me rush upon that sword, And feel the sin-consuming flame; Live only Christ in me, not I; O let me see Thy face and die! 7 Die all of self to live no more, Die the old man no more to rise; Me to Thine image here restore, Receive me to Thy paradise, (Whence I may never more remove) The paradise of perfect love.

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

Messiah, Joy of Every Heart

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Messiah, joy of every heart, Thou, thou the King of Glory art! The Father’s everlasting Son! Thee it delights Thy Church to own; For all our hopes on Thee depend, Whose glorious mercies never end. 2. Bent to redeem a sinful race, Thou, Lord, with unexampled grace, Into our lower world didst come, And stoop to a poor virgin’s womb; Whom all the heavens could not contain, Our God appeared a child of man! 3. When Thou hadst rendered up Thy breath, And dying drawn the sting of death, Thou didst from earth triumphant rise, And ope the portals of the skies, That all who trust in Thee alone Might follow, and partake Thy throne. 4. Seated at God’s right hand again, Thou dost in all His glory reign, Thou dost, Thy Father’s image, shine, In all the attributes divine; And Thou with judgment clad shalt come To seal our everlasting doom. 5. Wherefore we now for mercy pray; O Savior, take our sins away! Before Thou as our judge appear, In dreadful majesty severe, Appear our advocate with God, And save the purchase of Thy blood. 6. Hallow, and make Thy servants meet, And with Thy saints in glory seat; Sustain and bless us by Thy sway, And keep to that tremendous day, When all Thy church shall chant above, The new eternal song of love.
