Who Dares Attempt Th'Eternal Name?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name Lyrics: 1 Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name With notes of mortal sound? Dangers and glories guard the theme, And spread despair around. 2 Destruction waits t’obey His frown, And Heav’n attends His smile; A wreath of lightning arms His crown, But love adorns it still. 3 Celestial King, our spirits lie Trembling beneath Thy feet, And wish, and cast a longing eye, To reach Thy lofty seat. 4 When shall we see the Great Unknown, And in Thy presence stand? Reveal the splendors of Thy throne, But shield us with Thy hand. 5 In Thee what endless wonders meet! What various glory shines! The crossing rays too fiercely beat Upon our fainting minds. 6 Angels are lost in sweet surprise If Thou unveil Thy grace; And humble awe runs thro’ the Skies, When wrath arrays Thy face. 7 When mercy joins with majesty To spread their beams abroad, Not all the fairest minds on high Are shadows of a God. 8 Thy works the strongest seraph sings In far too feeble strain. And labors hard on all his strings To reach Thy thoughts in vain. 9 Created powers, how weak they be! How short our praises fall! So much akin to nothing we, And Thou th’Eternal All.

A Perfect Path of Purest Grace

Author: Wylie Macleod Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. A perfect path of purest grace, Unblemished and complete, Was Thine, Thou spotless Nazarite, Pure, even to the feet. 2. Thy stainless life, Thy lovely walk, In every aspect true, From the defilement all around, No taint of evil drew. 3. No broken service, Lord was Thine, No change was in Thy way; Unsullied in Thy holiness, Thy strength knew no decay. 4. The vow was on Thee—Thou didst come, To yield Thyself to death; And consecration marked Thy path, And spoke in every breath. 5. Morning by morning Thou didst wake, Amidst this poisoned air; Yet no contagion touched Thy soul, No sin disturbed Thy prayer. 6. Thus, Lord we love to trace Thy course, To mark where Thou hast trod, And follow Thee with loving eye, Up to the throne of God. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

Dear Saviour, we would know thy love

Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, we would know thy love Which yet no measure knows; For us it led thee once to die; From thence salvation flows. 2 Fain would we strike the golden harp, And wear the promised crown, And at thy feet, while bending low, Would sing what grace hath done. 3 Then leave us not in this dark world, As strangers long to roam; Come, Lord, and take us to thyself, Come, Jesus, quickly come!
