In Tenderness He Sought Me

Author: W. Spencer Walton, 19th Century Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Praise and Testimony Refrain First Line: Oh, the love that sought me! Lyrics: 1 In tenderness He sought me, Weary and sick with sin, And on His shoulders brought me Back to His fold again. While angels in His presence sang Until the courts of heaven rang. Refrain: Oh, the love that sought me! Oh, the blood that bought me! Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold, Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold! 2 He washed the bleeding sin-wounds And poured in oil and wine; He whispered to assure me, “I’ve found thee, thou art Mine;” I never heard a sweeter voice; It made my aching heart rejoice! (Refrain) 3 He pointed to the nail-prints, For me His blood was shed, A mocking crown so thorny Was placed upon His head: I wondered what He saw in me, To suffer such deep agony. (Refrain) 4 I’m sitting in His presence, The sunshine of His face, While with adoring wonder His blessings I retrace: It seems as if eternal days Are far too short to sound His praise. (Refrain) 5 So while the hours are passing, All now is perfect rest; I'm waiting for the morning, The brightest and the best, When He will call us to His side, To be with Him, His spotless bride. (Refrain) Used With Tune: [In tenderness He sought me]

Through days of preparation your grace has made us strong; and now, O King eternal, we lift our battle song. 2 Lead on, O King eternal, till sin's fierce war shall cease, and holiness shall whisper the sweet amen of peace. For not with swords' loud clashing or roll of stirring drums– with deeds of love and mercy the heavenly kingdom comes. 3 Lead on, O King eternal; we follow, not with fears, for gladness breaks like morning where'er your face appears. Your cross is lifted o'er us, we journey in its light; the crown awaits the conquest; lead on, O God of might. Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

God is our Refuge and our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 God is our Refuge and our Strength, Our ever present aid, And, therefore, though the earth remove, We will not be afraid; Though hills amidst the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein the Lord Most high has his abode; Since God is in the midst of her, Unmoved her walls shall stand, For God will be her early help, When trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when his voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before his mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: MATERNA Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

God is the refuge of his saints

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 469 hymnals Topics: Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints, When storms of sharp distress invade; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid. 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there, Convulsions shake the solid world, Our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar; In sacred peace our souls abide, While ev'ry nation, ev'ry shore, Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 4 There is a stream whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God; Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, And wat'ring our divine abode. 5 That sacred stream, thy holy Word, Our grief allays, our fear controls; Sweet peace thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, Secure against a threat'ning hour; Nor can her firm foundations move, Built on his truth, and armed with pow'r. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: WARD

Like sheep we went astray

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Like sheep we went astray, And broke the fold of God, Each wandering in a different way, But all the downward road. 2 How dreadful was the hour, When God our wanderings laid, And did at once his vengeance pour Upon the Shepherd's head! 3 How glorious was the grace, When Christ sustained the stroke! His life and blood the Shepherd pays, A ransom for the flock. 4 But God shall raise his head O'er all the sons of men, And make him see a numerous seed, To recompense his pain.

How Lovely Is Your Dwelling

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: God's Way Lyrics: 1 How lovely is your dwelling, O Lord of hosts, to me; my soul is longing, fainting, the courts of God to see. The beauty of your dwelling will bring me joy anew. My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for you. 2 Beneath your care the sparrow finds place for peaceful rest; to keep her young in safety the swallow finds a nest. So, Lord, my King Almighty, your love will shelter me; beneath your wings of mercy my dwelling place will be. 3 Blest they who love and serve you, whose joy and strength you are. Forever they will praise you, your ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace, and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase.
