Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 1,012 hymnals First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God! 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 Unnumbered comforts, to my soul, Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When, in the slippery paths of youth, With heedless steps, I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: For, oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise!

"Weary, heavy laden"

Author: John Newton Appears in 619 hymnals First Line: Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before his 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 and hiding-place, That, sheltered near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him--thou hast died. 5 Oh, wondrous Love--to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead thy gracious name!

Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord

Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1701-1751 Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord, Chase all your fears away; And bow with rapture down to see The place where Jesus lay. 2 Thus low the Lord of Life was brought, Such wonders love can do; Thus cold in death that bosom lay, Which throbbed and bled for you. 3 But raise your eyes, and tune your songs, The Saviour lives again; Not all the bolts and bars of death The Conqueror could detain. 4 High o'er the angelic bands He rears His once dishonoured head; And through unnumbered years He reigns, Who dwelt among the dead. 5 With joy like His shall every saint His vacant tomb survey; Then rise with his ascending Lord To realms of endless day.

With Restless and Ungoverned Rage

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With restless and ungoverned rage Why do the heathen storm? Why in such rash attempts engage, As they can ne’er perform? 2. The great in counsel and in might Their various forces bring; Against the Lord they all unite, And His anointed king. 3. Must we submit to Their commands? Presumptuously they say; No, let us break Their slavish bands, And cast Their chains away. 4. But God, who sits enthroned on high, And sees how they combine, Does their conspiring strength defy, And mocks their vain design. 5. Thick clouds of wrath divine shall break On His rebellious foes; And thus will He in thunder speak To all that dare oppose: 6. Though madly you dispute My will, The king that I ordain, Whose throne is fixed on Zion’s hill, Shall there securely reign. 7. Attend, O earth, whilst I declare God’s uncontrolled decree; “Thou art my Son, this day My heir Have I begotten Thee. 8. “Ask and receive Thy full demands; Thine shall the heathen be; The utmost limits of the lands Shall be possessed by Thee. 9. Thy threat’ning scepter Thou shalt shake, And crush them every where; As massy bars of iron break The potter’s brittle ware. 10. Learn then, ye princes, and give ear, Ye judges of the earth; Worship the Lord with holy fear; Rejoice with awful mirth. 11. Appease the Son with due respect, Your timely homage pay; Lest He revenge the bold neglect, Incensed by your delay. 12. If but in part His anger rise, Who can endure the flame? Then blest are they whose hope relies On His most holy name. Used With Tune: POWER Text Sources: A New Version of the Psalms of David, by Nahum Tate & Nicholas Brady, 1698
