The Mystery Hidden from the Eyes
Great Redeemer, Friend Of Sinners
Author: William Williams, 1717-1791; William Griffiths, 1777-1825 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great Redeemer, friend of sinners,
Thou hast wondrous power to save;
Grant me grace, and still protect me,
Over life’s tempestuous wave:
May my soul with sacred transport,
View the dawn while yet afar,
And until the sun arises,
Lead me by the morning star.
2 O! what madness! O! what folly,
That my heart should go astray;
After vain and foolish trifles,
Trifles only of a day:
This vain world with all its pleasures,
Very soon will be no more;
There’s no object worth admiring,
But the God whom we adore.
3 See the happy spirits waiting,
On the banks beyond the stream,
Sweet responders still repeating,
Jesus, Jesus is their theme:
Hark! they whisper, lo! they call me,
Sister spirit, come away;
Lo! I come, earth can’t contain me,
Hail the realms of endless day.
4 Swiftly roll, ye lingering hours,
Seraphs, lend your glittering wings;
Love absorbs my ransom powers,
Heavenly song around me rings,
Worlds of light and crowns of glory,
Far above yon azure sky,
Only now by faith I see you;
Soon I hope to dwell on high. Used With Tune: ALEXANDER Text Sources: Tr.: Social and Campmeeting Songs For the Pious, 4th ed. (Baltimore: Armstrong & Plaskitt, 1822)

Sirach’s Prayer for a Happy and Temperate Life
Author: Paul Gerhardt; J. Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Creator, Father, Prince of might! Lyrics:
Creator, Father, Prince of might!
Who life to me art giving,
Unless Thou guid’st my life aright
In vain here am I living.
For while I’m living, I am dead,
To sin devoted ever;
Whose life in mire of sin is led,
The true life he hath never
Beheld one moment even.
Then turn on Thy poor child Thy face,
In darkness do not leave me;
That I may shun sin and disgrace,
Good counsel ever give me!
To keep my lips a guard, Lord, send,
May no word ever leave them
That e’er Thy people could offend
Let nought I say e’er grieve them,
Nor ever Thee dishonour!
Forbid, Father! that mine ear
Upon this earth so evil,
Against Thy name and pow’r should hear
The wicked rage and cavil.
Let not the poison and the gall
Of slanderers defile me;
If I such filth should touch at all
It surely would beguile me,
Might e’en quite overthrow me.
Lord, keep mine eyes, control their glance,
May they work evil never;
A bold and shameless countenance
Keep Thou far from me ever!
What’s honest, keeps due boundaries,
What angels seek in heaven,
What is well-pleasing in Thine eyes,
For it by me be striven,
All luxury disdaining.
Oh! may I ne’er delighted be
By revelling and eating;
Be what Thou lov’st belov’d by me,
Though others shun it, hating.
The lusts wherein the flesh doth roll,
To hell will draw us ever;
The joys the world doth love, the soul
And spirit will deliver
To torment everlasting.
Oh! happy he who eats heav’n’s bread,
And heav’nly water drinketh,
Who tastes nought else, nought else doth heed,
Nought else desires, and thinketh
Of that alone which strength can bring,
The life we’ll live for ever
With God, and with the hosts who sing
His praise, in joy that never
Shall know an interruption.
Paul Gerhardt’s Spiritual Songs, 1867
Sirach’s Prayer for a Happy and Temperate Life
Our Father, Merciful and Good
Author: Olavus Petri; Augustus Nelson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Father, merciful and good,
Who dost to Thee invite us,
O cleanse us in our Saviour's blood,
And to Thyself unite us!
Send unto us Thy holy Word,
And let it guide us ever;
Then in this world of darkness, Lord,
Shall naught from Thee us sever:
Grant us, O Lord, this favor!
2 We cry to Thee with one accord,
'Tis all that can avail us;
We cannot hear nor keep Thy Word,
If grace divine doth fail us.
Behold our lot, we humbly pray,
For our dear Saviour's merit.
How Satan soweth tares alway,
And send, O Lord, Thy Spirit,
That we may life inherit.
3 O God and man, Christ Jesus blest!
Our sorrow Thou didst carry.
Our wants and cares Thou knowest best,
For Thou with us didst tarry.
O Jesus Christ, our Brother dear,
To us and every nation
Thy Spirit send, let Him draw near
With truth and consolation,
That we may see salvation.
4 Come, Holy Ghost, Thy grace impart,
Tear Satan's snares asunder.
The Word of God keep in our heart,
That we its truth may ponder.
Then, sanctified, for evermore,
In Christ alone confiding,
We'll sing His praise and Him adore,
His precious Word us guiding
To heavenly joys abiding.
