Encouraged By Thy Word

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9930 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Encouraged by Thy word Of promise to the poor; Behold, a beggar, Lord, Waits at Thy mercy’s door! No hand, no heart, O Lord, but Thine, Can help or pity wants like mine. 2 The beggar’s usual plea Relief from men to gain, If offered unto Thee, I know Thou would’st disdain: And pleas which move Thy gracious ear, Are such as men would scorn to hear. 3 I have no right to say That though I now am poor, Yet once there was a day When I possessèd more: Thou know’st that from my very birth, I’ve been the poorest wretch on earth. 4 Nor can I dare profess, As beggars often do, Though great is my distress, My wants have been but few: If Thou shouldst leave my soul to starve, It would be what I well deserve. 5 ’Twere folly to pretend I never begged before; Or if Thou now befriend, I’ll trouble Thee no more: Thou often hast relieved my pain, And often I must come again. 6 Though crumbs are much too good For such a dog as I; No less than children’s food My soul can satisfy: O do not frown and bid me go, I must have all Thou canst bestow. 7 Nor can I willing be Thy bounty to conceal From others, who like me, Their wants and hunger feel: I’ll tell them of Thy mercy’s store, And try to send a thousand more. 8 Thy thoughts, Thou only wise! Our thoughts and ways transcend, Far as the archèd skies Above the earth extend: Such pleas as mine men would not bear, But God receives a beggar’s prayer. Languages: English Tune Title: VIA PACIS
