O mean may seem this house of clay

Author: Thomas Hornblower Gill Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O mean may seem this house of clay, Yet ’twas the Lord’s abode; Our feet may mourn this thorny way, Yet here Emmanuel trod. 2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear; This watch the Lord did keep; These burdens sore the Lord did bear; These tears the Lord did weep. 3 This world the Master overcame; This death the Lord did die; O vanquished world! O glorious shame! O hallowed agony! 4 O vale of tears, no longer sad, Wherein the Lord did dwell! O holy robe of flesh that clad Our own Emmanuel! 5 Our very frailty brings us near Unto the Lord of heaven; To every grief, to every tear, Such glory strange is given. Amen.

O Lord, thy judgments give the king

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thy judgments give the king, his son thy righteousness. 2 With right he shall thy people judge, thy poor with uprightness. 3 The lofty mountains shall bring forth unto the people peace; likewise the little hills the same shall do by righteousness. 4 The people’s poor ones he shall judge, the needy’s children save; and those shall he in pieces break who them oppressed have. 5 They shall thee fear, while sun and moon do last, through ages all. 6 Like rain on mown grass he shall drop, or showers on earth that fall. 7 The just shall flourish in his days, and prosper in his reign: he shall, while doth the moon endure, abundant peace maintain. 8 His large and great dominion shall from sea to sea extend: it from the river shall reach forth unto earth’s utmost end. 9 They in the wilderness that dwell bow down before him must; and they that are his enemies shall lick the very dust. 10 The kings of Tarshish, and the isles, to him shall presents bring; and unto him shall offer gifts Sheba’s and Seba’s king. 11 Yea, all the mighty kings on earth before him down shall fall; and all the nations of the world do service to him shall. 12 For he the needy shall preserve, when he to him doth call; also the poor, and him that hath no help of man at all. 13 The poor man and the indigent in mercy he shall spare; he shall preserve alive the souls of those that needy are. 14 Both from deceit and violence their soul he shall set free; and in his sight right precious and dear their blood shall be. 15 Yea, he shall live, and given to him shall be of Sheba’s gold: For him still shall they pray, and he all day shall be extolled. 16 Of corn an handful in the earth on tops of mountains high, with prosperous fruit shall shake, like trees on Lebanon that be. The city shall be flourishing, her citizens abound in number shall, like to the grass that grows upon the ground. 17 His name for ever shall endure; last like the sun it shall: men shall be blessed in him, and blessed all nations shall him call. 18 Now blessed be the Lord our God, the God of Israel, For he alone doth wondrous works, in glory that excel. 19 And blessed be his glorious name to all eternity: the whole earth let his glory fill. Amen, so let it be. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: TALLIS'S ORDINAL

Jesus, the Son of God, who once

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Son of God, who once for us his life resign'd, now lives in heav’n, our great High Priest, and never-dying friend. 2 Through life, through death, let us to him with constancy adhere; faith shall supply new strength, and hope shall banish ev’ry fear. 3 To human weakness not severe is our High Priest above; his heart o’erflows with tenderness, his bowels melt with love. 4 With sympathetic feelings touch'd, he knows our feeble frame; he knows what sore temptations are, for he has felt the same. 5 But though he felt temptation’s pow’r, unconquer'd he remain'd; nor, ‘midst the frailty of our frame, by sin was ever stain'd. 6 As, in the days of feeble flesh, he pour'd forth cries and tears; so, though exalted, still he feels what ev’ry Christian bears. 7 Then let us, with a filial heart, come boldly to the throne of grace supreme, to tell our griefs, and all our wants make known: 8 That mercy we may there obtain for sins and errors past, and grace to help in time of need, while days of trial last.

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: Richard Baxter Appears in 267 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day? 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; He that into God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessèd face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints And weary sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints Who sing my Saviour's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL
