God of My Life, Look Gently Down

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1962 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. God of my life, look gently down, Behold the pains I feel; But I am dumb before Thy throne, Nor dare dispute Thy will. 2. Diseases are Thy servants, Lord, They come at Thy command; I’ll not attempt a murmuring word Against Thy chastening hand. 3. Yet I may plead with humble cries, Remove Thy sharp rebukes; My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through Thy repeated strokes. 4. Crushed as a moth beneath Thy hand, We molder to the dust; Our feeble powers can ne’er withstand, And all our beauty’s lost. 5. This mortal life decays apace, How soon the bubble’s broke! Adam and all his numerous race Are vanity and smoke. 6. I’m but a sojourner below, As all my fathers were; May I be well prepared to go, When I the summons hear. 7. But if my life be spared awhile, Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my business still, And I’ll declare Thy love. Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

Lord, I Approach Thy Mercy Seat

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3726 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord, I approach, Thy mercy seat Lyrics: 1. Lord, I approach, Thy mercy seat, Where Thou dost answer prayer; There humbly fall before Thy feet, For none can perish there. 2. Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3. Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By war without and fears within, I come to Thee for rest. 4. Be Thou my shield, my hiding place, That, sheltered near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him Thou hast died. Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

Lord, When We Bend Before Thy Throne

Author: Joseph Carlyle Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4098 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Lord, when we bend before Thy throne, And our confessions pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore. 2. Our broken spirits, pitying see; True penitence impart; And let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart. 3. When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign; And not a thought our bosoms share That is not wholly Thine. 4. Let faith each weak petition fill And waft it to the skies, And teach our hearts ’tis goodness still That grants it, or denies. 5. When our responsive tongues essay Their grateful hymns to raise, Grant that our souls may join the lay And mount to Thee in praise. 6. Then on Thy glories, while we dwell, Thy mercies we’ll renew, Till love divine transported tell Our God’s our Father, too. Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

O God, My Refuge, Hear My Cries

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4870 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O God, my refuge, hear my cries, Behold my flowing tears; For earth and hell my hurt devise, And triumph in my fears. 2. Their rage is leveled at my life, My soul with guilt they load, And fill my thoughts with inward strife, To shake my hopes in God. 3. With inward pain my heart-strings sound, I groan with every breath; Horror and fear beset me round Amongst the shades of death. 4. O were I like a feathered dove, And innocence had wings, I’d fly, and make a long remove From all these restless things. 5. Let me to some wild desert go, And find a peaceful home; Where storms of malice never blow, Temptations never come. 6. Vain hopes, and vain inventions all To ’scape the rage of hell! The mighty God on whom I call, Can save me here as well. 7. By morning light I’ll seek His face, At noon repeat my cry; The night shall hear me ask His grace, Nor will He long deny. 8. God shall preserve my soul from fear, Or shield me when afraid; Ten thousand angels must appear, If He command their aid. 9. I cast my burdens on the Lord, The Lord sustains them all; My courage rests upon His Word, That saints shall never fall. 10. My highest hopes shall not be vain, My lips shall spread His praise; While cruel and deceitful men Scarce live out half their days. Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

O Jesu Christ, if Aught There Be

Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5011 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Jesu Christ, if aught there be That, more than all beside, In ever painful memory Must in my heart abide, 2. It is that deep ingratitude Which I to Thee have shown, Who didst for me in tears and blood Upon the cross atone. 3. Alas, how with my actions all Has this defect entwined; How has it poisoned with its gall My spirit, heart and mind! 4. Alas, through this, how many a gem I’ve rudely cast away, That might have formed my diadem In everlasting day! 5. Yet though the time be past and gone, Though little more remains: Though naught is all that can be done, E’en with my utmost pains; 6. Still will I strive, O Savior mine, To do what in me lies; For never did Thy glance divine A contrite heart despise. Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

To Calvary, Lord, in Spirit Now

Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6845 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. To Calvary, Lord, in spirit now, Our weary souls repair, To dwell upon Thy dying love, And taste its sweetness there. 2. Sweet resting place of every heart, That feels the plague of sin, Yet knows that deep mysterious joy, The peace with God, within. 3. There, through Thine hour of deepest woe, Thy suffering spirit passed; Grace there its wondrous victory gained, And love endured its last. 4. Dear suffering Lamb! Thy bleeding wounds, With cords of love divine, Have drawn our willing hearts to Thee, And linked our life with Thine. 5. Thy sympathies and hopes are ours: Dear Lord! we wait to see Creation, all below, above, Redeemed and blest by Thee. 6. Our longing eyes would fain behold That bright and blessèd brow, Once wrung with bitterest anguish, wear Its crown of glory now. 7. Why linger then? Come, Savior, come, Responsive to our call; Come, claim Thine ancient power, and reign The Heir and Lord of all. Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

Our Nation Seemed To Ruin Doomed

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12577 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our nation seemed to ruin doomed, Just like a burning brand; Till snatched from fierce surrounding flames By God’s indulgent hand. 2 "Once more," He says, "I will suppress The wrath that sin would wake, Once more My patience shall attend, And call this nation back." 3 But who this clemency reveres? Or feels this melting grace? Who stirs his languid spirit up To seek Thine awful face? 4 On days like these we pour our cries, And at Thy feet we mourn; Then rise to tempt Thy wrath again, And to our sins return. 5 Our nation far from God remains, Far, as in distant years; And that small remnant which is left, A dying aspect wears. 6 Now chastened, rescued thus in vain, Thy righteous Hand severe Into the flames might hurl us back, And quite consume us there. 7 So by the light our burning gives Might neighboring nations read. How terrible Thy judgments are, And learn our guilt to dread. 8 Yet, ’midst the cry of sins like ours, Incline Thy gracious ear; And Thine own children’s feeble cry With soft compassion hear. 9 O by Thy sacred Spirit’s breath Ignite a holy flame; Refine the land that Thou has spared, And magnify Thy name.

See, when a black o’erspreading cloud

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13074 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 See, when a black o’erspreading cloud [Originally, When a black overspreading cloud] Has darkened all the air; And peals of thunder roaring loud Proclaim the tempest near. 2 Then guilt and fear, the fruits of sin, The sinner oft pursue; A louder storm is heard within, And conscience thunders too. 3 The law a fiery language speaks, His danger he perceives; Like Satan, who his ruin seeks, He trembles and believes. 4 But when the sky serene appears, And thunders roll no more; He soon forgets his vows and fears, Just as he did before. 5 But whither shall the sinner flee, When nature’s mighty frame, The ponderous earth, and air, and sea, Shall all dissolve in flame? 6 Amazing day! it comes apace! The Judge is hasting down! Will sinners bear to see His face, Or stand before His frown? 7 Lord, let Thy mercy find a way To touch each stubborn heart That they may never hear Thee say, "Ye cursed ones, depart." 8 Believers, you may well rejoice! The thunder’s loudest strains Should be to you a welcome voice, That tells you, "JESUS REIGNS!" Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

The Lord Is In His Holy Place

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13770 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord is in His holy place, And from His throne on high, He looks upon the human race With omnipresent eye. 2 He proves the righteous, marks their path; In Him the weak are strong; But violence provokes His wrath, The Lord abhorreth wrong. 3 God on the wicked will rain down His brimstone, fire, and snares; The gloom and tempest of His frown— This portion shall be theirs. 4 The righteous Lord will take delight Alone in righteousness; The just are pleasing in His sight, The humble He will bless.
