When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,024 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Oh, how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravished heart? But Thou canst read it there. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A joyful song I'll raise; But oh, eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise! Amen. Used With Tune: [When all Thy mercies, O my God]

Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,418 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb. Amen. Used With Tune: [Oh, for a closer walk with God]

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 267 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use 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, oh, make me glad The longer to obey; If short, no laborer is sad To end his toilsome day. 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; And he that to God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessed 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. Used With Tune: [Lord, it belongs not to my care]

Great God, to Thee my evening song

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Great God, to Thee my evening song, With humble gratitude I raise: Oh, let Thy mercy tune my tongue, And fill my heart with lively praise. 2 My days unclouded as they pass, And every gently rolling hour, Are monuments of wondrous grace, And witness to Thy love and power. 3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart, Too oft regardless of Thy love, Ungrateful, can from Thee depart, And from the path of duty rove. 4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood Of Christ my Lord; His Name alone I plead for pardon, gracious God, And kind acceptance at Thy throne. 5 With hope in Him mine eyelids close; With sleep refresh my feeble frame; Safe in Thy care may I repose, And wake with praises to Thy Name. Amen. Used With Tune: [Great God, to Thee my evening song]

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,444 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-fading flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Bright fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews fair Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink, To cross the narrow sea; And linger, trembling on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love, With faith's illumined eyes: 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore. Amen. Used With Tune: [There is a land of pure delight]

John Leland Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 605 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone, The evening shades appear; Oh, may we all remember well The night of death draws near. 2 We lay our garments by, Upon our beds to rest; So death shall soon disrobe us all Of what is here possest. 3 Lord keep us safe this night, Secure from all our fears; May angels guard us while we sleep, Till morning light appears. Amen. Used With Tune: [The day is past and gone]

There is a blessed home

Author: H. W. Baker Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 There is a blessed home Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come, Nor tears of sorrow flow; Where faith is lost in sight, And patient hope is crown'd, And everlasting light Its glory throws around. 2 There is a land of peace: Good angels know it well; Glad songs that never cease Within its portals swell; Around its glorious throne Ten thousand saints adore Christ, with the Father One, And Spirit, evermore. 3 O joy all joys beyond, To see the Lamb Who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side; To give to Him the praise Of every triumph won, And sing through endless days The great things He hath done! 4 Look up, ye saints of God! Nor fear to tread below The path your Saviour trod Of daily toil and woe! Wait but a little while In uncomplaining love! His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above. Used With Tune: BEULAH

Findlater Appears in 141 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest, Thou loving Friend, and Saviour of our race, And where among the guests there never cometh One who can hold such high and honour'd place. 2 O happy home, whose two in heart united In holy faith and blessed hope are one, Whom death a little while alone divideth, And cannot end the union here begun! 3 O happy home, whose little ones are given Early to Thee in humble faith and prayer, To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care! 4 O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till every common task seems great and holy, When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee! 5 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten When joy is overflowing, full and free, O happy home, where every wounded spirit Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee, 6 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended, All meet Thee in the blessed home above, From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, Thy everlasting home of peace and love.

Moore Appears in 1,091 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish; Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel: Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heav'n cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.
